California Couples Photography
Yeonsoo and Aki were visiting Big Sur California from Tokyo this week and wanted to capture their time and 10-year anniversary with a couples session. Aki is an accomplished musician and Yeonsoo often performs with him at their church, so we made time to capture them doing what they love together. Aki’s saxophone is a 1920s-era silver-plated saxophone and it was one of the coolest instruments I’ve ever photographed. They opted to do a three-hour couples session on the coast so we could do all the locations they were excited about. I had so much fun showing them areas of Big Sur they hadn’t been to before.
If you’re wondering what to do for your engagement photos—you’re not alone.
Most couples come in saying:
“We want something natural… but we have no idea where to start.”
The truth is, the best engagement sessions aren’t built around poses.
They’re built around experiences.
At Flora Gibson Photography, I approach engagement sessions like a quiet story unfolding—something you step into, not perform.
Here are ideas that will help your photos feel like you.
