Free Spirit Coastal Anniversary Shoot Ideas

Romantic couple kissing on a cliffside wedding near the ocean

Saje Photography shared this simple, yet stunning California anniversary session at Sunset Cliffs that complemented the wild and free spirited souls of this couple. 

This shoot focused on the connection through the eyes and body. In an era of “finding yourself,” expressing emotions through art and romance. It’s the perfect blend of natural and free. The bride’s effortless, messy beach waves and stunning oversized bouquet by Organic Flora paired perfectly with her incredible bohemian-style Rue de Seine wedding gown. The coastal tones set the perfect, neutral background as we explored the beautiful cliffs.

Consider The elements

 The beach can be a bit challenging for a formal event, but if you’re prepared beforehand you’ll have no problem. 

1. It’s usually windy so be sure that your hair and dress work with the a healthy breeze.
2. Protect yourself and wear sunscreen. 
3. Wear shoes that won’t sink into the sand or dirt and can get ruined.
4. Bring some tissue. Your nose will run at the beach and you don’t want to be all sniffy and uncomfortable.

Read these tips if you’re planning a beach wedding.
