A Stunning Point Reyes Engagement Session // April & Alfred Connection Session - Alfred Tang Photography
When it came time to plan April & Alfred’s connection session in the Bay Area, one could imagine the excitement that came over me when we settled on Point Reyes National Seashore area. Growing up in California, this was my stomping grounds for all things exploring and hiking - then to top off the hike we would treat ourselves with fresh oysters of Hog Island in Marshall, California. YUMMMM!!! The other cherry on the top? We were gonna hit up the Insta-famous Cypress Tree Tunnel. I have been DYING to shoot there as the Monterey cypress trees lines a quarter-mile driveway, arching over it to create an eye-pleasing tunnel effect. Unfortunately, the light wasn’t as soft and mystic as this place is usually known for, but we made the best of it!
April & Alfred reconnected after being acquaintances for a few years. April was attracted to Alfred’s smile and constant positive attitude. I mean, can you blame her? Looking through their connection session images, Alfred could not make a straight/stoic face to save his life! This is the type of person you’d want to have in your life forever. And to top things off, Alfred enjoys cooking - not just for his soon-to-be-wife, but for a group of family & friends. They’ve hired a private chef for their wedding and I hear ramen will be on the table for dinner *drools*.
After shooting at the iconic coastline by the Point Reyes Lighthouse, I had to make use of the last light and Alfred’s beautiful BMW 3-series. So as we drove away from the lighthouse, we found a less-traveled road to stop in the middle of and took a couple of stunning last images to cap off the engagement session.
Thank you April & Alfred for having me and trusting in me to explore the Northern Bay Area with you guys! Thank you for showing me kindness always wins. I see you guys smiling for you another til the end of time. ♥️
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: as much as I love dark, moody, stoic emotions, I will only photograph an individuals and couples authentic emotions. As much as we tried to get Alfred to be in a straight-faced pose, he naturally can’t help but smile and laugh. It’s just a part of who he is - wanting everyone around him to feel the same positivity and I love that about him. April, you’re a lucky gal!
