Some sessions just stay with you, and this one absolutely did. To celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary, this sweet couple gathered all of their children and grandchildren in Montauk for a relaxed beach family session. No big ballroom or fancy party - just the ocean, the sunset, and the people they love most. It was simple, genuine, and such a beautiful way to honor five decades of marriage.
We met at Kirk Park Beach just before sunset to take advantage of that golden hour glow. The light was soft and flattering, which is especially helpful when you’re photographing a big group with different ages and personalities. As soon as everyone’s feet hit the sand, you could feel the energy shift. The grandparents relaxed, the kids got curious, and the whole vibe went from “we’re taking photos” to “we’re just hanging out at the beach together.”
If you’re heading to the Hamptons or celebrating a milestone like a wedding anniversary, I’d love to help you document it. Whether you’re local to New York City or traveling in, a laid-back family session in Montauk or anywhere in the Hamptons is such a beautiful way to celebrate the people who mean everything to you
