I’m convinced there is no place more romantic and mystical than the Washington coast. A few months ago, Ariana + Taylor met up with me at Rialto Beach for their photo session. With the cool breeze hitting our faces and the sunset enveloping us with golden light, I took these images of Ariana + Taylor as they danced and played and snuggled and made each other laugh.

For the past year, Ariana + Taylor have been living on the road in their RV along with their pup Nelson, traveling all over the United States and exploring all the beauty this country has to offer. These adventurous carefree souls were just a delight to photograph. Their playful but passionate love and connection just gave me all the old soul vibes. So in my ever-evolving goal to shoot it how it felt, I gave a few of these images a more vintage filmy look. I’m obsessed with these two, their adventure, and of course, the beauty that is the Washington coast.
