beach birthday bash

Earlier this summer, I was given the task of photographing a friend’s birthday party.  I’m finally getting to posting it.  Steve celebrated in style on the beach with a bonfire (yes there were s’mores AND hot dogs) as the sun was sinking into the sea.  It was a blast, not to mention absolutely stunning.

Normally I would never think a setting sun would make a beautiful black and white but there was nothing stopping the beauty this night.

Of course, a group shot was entirely necessary.  Especially with that glowing light!

or two. :)

The birthday boy and his adorable girlfriend. I’ll be shooting their wedding one of these days.. right Steve?

And what beach bonfire party would be complete without glow stick bracelets and necklaces!

I just loved this guy and his hat. He also just so happens to be a photographer as well so he had no problems with me photographing him over and over again.
