Oh, you guys! I am SO over the moon excited to share this session today! I can’t tell you how long I’ve been wanting to photograph a couple in Medina Palms Watamu Mombasa. It takes a special, adventurous couple to give us the trust and freedom for this type of shoot, and we found it in Catherine and James! They were not afraid of getting a little wet, and just WAIT until you see them standing up on the log! This one was one of our favorites for so many reasons!
I could listen to Catherine talk all day……..and her accent is just as adorable and bubbly as her sparkling eyes! We could see right away why James loves her – she has a kind heart, and a modest smile and she is as playful and fun as she is beautiful!
These two know how to work a camera, and they made our job so easy! We had so much fun hanging out and catching up with them. I want to be clear that standing up in a log was their idea, not mine! I may have been supportive of the idea, though 😉Catherine and James, thank you SO MUCH for making our day! Heck, our year! This was one for the books! Enjoy a few of our favorites from your amazing session!

Watamu Beach: Watamu Beach located alongside Malindi Beach in Malindi is found in the North of Mombasa 105 kilometers away. Lying between Watamu Bay and Blue Lagoon is one of the most beautiful beaches found in the North. Tourism is the main economic activity on the beach and fishing. It’s part of the beaches that form Coastal Kenya located in Kilifi County.
Though the beach does not stretch much in length it’s more adventurous with more enjoyable activities like Scuba diving, snorkeling, coral reef, and others. The sea turtles nest around the beach near the coral reefs. One can enjoy swimming alongside the sharks though it is determined by the time of the year.
One can also enjoy a short safari to the forest of the Arabuko Sokoke forest to see more primates and other wildlife. There are many historical sites like Gede Ruins an abandoned medieval settlement. The shoreline of the beach features white sand, and coral reefs arranged in different bays. Gerosa beach, blue lagoon bay, Watamu bay, Turtle bay, Kanani reef, Jacaranda beach, and Ocean Breeze from Watamu Marine National Park. Marine Park is the best snorkeling and diving area along the coast of East Africa.
Malindi Beach is the third best-rated beach in Africa with clear crystal water and silver sand beaches. The beach is managed by a unique organization formed by locals in the form of an association called Watamu Marine Association to preserve and conserve the beach.
