Busiest around August · quietest in January — in peak season book a sunset slot 4–6 weeks ahead; off-season means soft light, thin crowds and easy availability.

Did an engagement photo shoot with Sofia and she was so good! We haven’t done photo shoots before and she directed us where to go for the best light and how to pose and the photos turned out great! 10/10
