Golden Hour Nostalgia at Spruce Cape | Shalliah & Ian’s Fireweed-Filled Session


Some shoots just hit different. Shalliah and Ian’s golden hour session at Spruce Cape was pure magic—the kind of evening where the light is just right, the fireweed is in bloom, and love feels almost tangible in the air.


From the very first shot, these two made it effortless. The way Ian looked at Shalliah, the way she laughed with him—every moment was real, raw, and filled with that kind of love that makes you believe in soulmates. We wandered through fields of fireweed, danced in the golden light, and let the evening unfold naturally. No stiff posing, no forced smiles—just them, being completely in the moment.


Kodiak has a way of making moments feel bigger, more timeless. The ocean breeze, the glow of the setting sun, the wild beauty of Spruce Cape—it all came together in a way that felt so nostalgic, like a scene out of a love story.


This session was a reminder of why I do what I do. Capturing love like this, in places that feel this special? It doesn’t get any better.

Ellen took great care of us. She met us at an amazing spot and made our entire experience memorable and exciting. Her communication and commitment to achieving the best photos is something I can admire. She puts so much passion into her work, it’s hard not to fall in love with it.
