Barefoot on the Shore | Romantic Spring Engagement on a Quiet Beach | Ottawa Documentary Photographer

filed in:

There’s something unforgettable about having a place entirely to yourselves—no distractions, just wind, sandy feet, and the person you love. That’s exactly how this spring engagement session felt.

We met on a quiet beach early in the morning, the kind of spring day that still carries a bite of winter in the breeze. Wrapped in knit layers, they kicked off their shoes and ran barefoot along the shoreline, embracing the cold and each other.

These are the sessions I live for. No perfect weather, no overthinking—just honesty, movement, and that raw, real connection that unfolds when two people feel safe to simply be.

From dancing on wet sand to curling up in cozy layers against the wind, the images carry this sense of story: playful, romantic, and grounded in who they are together.

If you’re dreaming of an engagement session that feels more like a memory than a photoshoot—where you can move, laugh, explore, and stay present—I’m here for it. Let’s create something uniquely yours.
