Three months into dating, Sean and I found ourselves on a little work trip—our first one together. Between learning each other’s routines and road trip playlists, we had an idea:
What if we documented this season with a real couples photo session?
We didn’t know what we were doing. We just knew we wanted to remember this trip, this time in our relationship, and this feeling of new beginnings.
How We Found Our Photographer
Like many people do, we opened Instagram and searched for a local photographer. That’s when we discovered Stefania, the incredible creative behind @capturebythecoast and capturebythecoast.mypixieset.com.
From the first message, Stefania was warm, gracious, and so easy to talk to. Even though we reached out last minute, she found time to squeeze us in—and honestly, it felt like fate.
The Sweetest Photography Experience
That evening, we met Stefania just before golden hour. The light was soft and dreamy, and her presence made us feel at ease immediately.
We were nervous. A little awkward. And very much in love. Stefania guided us with so much gentleness that we forgot the camera was even there. She encouraged us to be ourselves—to laugh, to hug, to simply exist in the moment.
It wasn’t just a first couples photo session. It was a glimpse into something sacred.
Why This Session Meant So Much to Us
Looking back now, this session was more than beautiful photos. It was one of the first moments we realized how powerful storytelling through photography can be.
Stefania’s kindness reminded us that photographers have the gift of helping people feel seen. She didn’t just snap pictures—she captured our real emotions, and we still treasure those images to this day.
We’ve learned so much since then. About lighting. Composition. Connection. And most importantly, about why we document love stories for a living now. That little session helped light a fire in us—and we’ll never forget it.
