Beaches & Blue Hour

August 10
Orleans, MA
$225/person

The beaches on the bay side of the Cape offer an amazing opportunity to shoot sunset and blue hour on the largest section tidal flats in North America

From sand formations to beached boats to sunset with "clam trees", this is a one-of-a-kind venue. Over five hours, we will tour three of the bay side beaches during low tide and magic hour and conclude the evening shooting through the blue hour at Nauset Lighthouse.
