Soft light, salt air, and a sense of youthful freedom set the tone for this romantic editorial captured along the coast of Carlsbad, California. Designed and photographed by Bells Photo, the session leans into a vintage, film-inspired aesthetic—one that feels effortless, intimate, and timeless all at once.
With a focus on movement and emotion, the imagery celebrates a carefree kind of love: playful, romantic, and deeply present. The styling remains beautifully restrained, allowing the setting and connection between the couple to lead the story. Gentle textures, natural elements, and a relaxed pace give the gallery an editorial quality that feels both nostalgic and modern.
This Carlsbad shoot is a reminder that romance doesn’t need extravagance—just intention, light, and the honesty of two people truly in love.
“A romantic, carefree celebration of young love—captured with a vintage, film-inspired eye.”
