There’s something undeniably romantic about the beach – It’s a setting that naturally lends itself to capturing the essence of love, making it the perfect backdrop for a couples photoshoot. Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing a beautiful couple, Makenzie & Anthony, during a dreamy beach session on St. Thomas, USVI. Here’s a glimpse into their love story and the magic we created together on the shore.

Makenzie & Anthony are the epitome of a modern-day fairytale romance. With their infectious laughter and undeniable chemistry, it’s clear that they share a deep connection that transcends words. As a photographer, capturing their love story was an absolute delight – from the way they stole glances at each other to the gentle caress of their hands intertwined, every moment was filled with pure, unadulterated love.

As the waves crashed against the shore and the sun dipped lower in the sky, I encouraged Makenzie & Anthony to simply be themselves – to forget about the camera and let their love for each other shine through. The result was a series of intimate moments that truly encapsulated the depth of their connection. From playful splashing in the surf to tender embraces against the backdrop of the setting sun, each frame told a story of love, laughter, and pure joy.
