Summer Fun in the Wild Sun // Rye's Back Beach Adventure

This is Yvonne and George, friends I’ve known since high school more than a decade ago, back when George was rocking the long Emo punk hair with the all black outfit attracting all the pretty girls like Yvonne with his bad boy persona, and I was living it up in the school library throwing beat downs in the chess club with all my knights and bishops. And yes, if you’re wondering, I am still just as hip to the hop as I was in high school.

So I have photographed couples either near the beach or over looking the beach about a billion times but never actually on the beach. And I tell ya what, I don’t think I can ever go back. The feeling of soft sand between my toes, the calming sound of the waves folding over one another, that faint taste of sea salt in the air, all the magical things about the beach that makes this summer shoot that much more wild and intimate.
