Group trips are at the heart of Devossion. For a birthday or friends getaway, we suggest the last hour of daylight, a beach portrait first, then a walk through town, before the night begins. Plan 60 minutes or more.
Devossion describes itself as celebration-focused, and it has a daily champagne toast to prove it. If you are here with your favourite people, there is rarely another moment when you are all sober, dressed and in the same place.
Keeping It Fun
We take the group portrait first, because it is the one everybody needs. Then we let you move, walk and laugh, and we shoot that. Pairs and small groups come next. Fifth Avenue is great for this, with its colour and movement.
When to Go
Start about an hour before sunset. Mornings are quieter, but groups are rarely at their best at 6:30 am after a night out. Book your session for an early day of the trip, while everyone still has energy. Sunset by month:
