The horizon tilts orange and pink as a private stretch of sand on Bounty Beach falls quiet; palms throw long shadows and a small wooden pier catches the last light. Guests arrive by private taxi, guided to a curated spot where glowing letters or a floral arch wait — the photographer already scouting the angle where surf meets silhouette.
