On a crisp May morning, A Fist Full of Bolts embarked on a memorable journey to Vashon Island with the soon-to-be-wed couple, Alexandra and Erik. The trio set out on a scenic ferry ride to capture the vintage-inspired engagement photoshoot on the picturesque beaches of Vashon, armed with expired 35mm film to infuse a touch of nostalgia into each frame. Once the ferry docked, the three made their way to the iconic Point Robinson Lighthouse on the easternmost tip of the island. The lighthouse, with its white exterior and red roof, stood against the backdrop of the Puget Sound, creating a timeless setting for the engagement shoot. A Fist Full of Bolts began capturing candid moments as they strolled along the shoreline, hand in hand.
The expired 35mm film added a layer of unpredictability to the shoot, creating a beautiful element of surprise in each photograph. The soft, muted tones and occasional light leaks lent an ethereal quality to the images, enhancing the vintage vibe A Fist Full of Bolts aimed to achieve. Against the backdrop of the lighthouse, A Fist Full of Bolts expertly navigated the interplay of natural light and the rugged coastal landscape, capturing the essence of the Alexandra and Erik’s relationship in the following series of timeless images.
