Sandy Hook Couple Session | Anna + Christian

 

I’m not really sure if the title of this post should be “engagement” or “post-wedding” or… idk? But Anna and Christian were originally set to get married in June 2020. They decided to postpone their wedding blessing in their church until next year, but they chose to officially get married in the courthouse this past summer. The pandemic kept pushing back their engagement photos, so we just turned this session into a “WE’RE MARRIED! YAY!” type one. We even added some night lights in there because it was something Anna really wanted to incorporate. I always love a good beach session.

Engagement in Longport, New Jersey | Sarah + Bill

 

it might still be february, but i just have bring a little summer in here. sarah and bill’s wedding is exactly ONE month away, and i couldn’t be happier for them! after a few initial photos, i asked these two if they were willing to maybe possibly take a few in the ocean. ha! initially there were crickets in the air, but then they both agreed and these are the results. it turned out to be one of my favorite engagement sessions to date. their connection is so raw and genuine and it was both refreshing and beautiful to watch.

Jen + Neepak's Proposal

 

It was fall of 2014 when I had just graduated, and traveled to the Philippines for the first time in a VERY long time as a gift from family. Since graduation, my college roommate and I came back to our hometown and did what most post-grads did… contemplate the next steps of life. HAH! Well, we did that. We enrolled ourselves at our local gym and then became gym partners, spending hours there babbling because we no longer lived with each other. When I took my trip to the Philippines, IT HAPPENED. Jen met her NOW FIANCÉ by the kettlebells, as they acknowledged their coincidental matching Rutgers shirts. They were friends at first, but when I came home and Jen told me about her new “friend,” I just knew it would be something more. I’ve watched Jen grow so much since we were in pre-school together… haha kidding (but not really because we attended the same catholic school!!). Rutgers brought us back together and truthfully, I’ve never seen her happier. What an honor it was to be able to capture this special moment for them. I am so unbelievably happy for these two, and their fairytale story. I JUST CAN’T BEAR MY EXCITEMENT ;) so HERE it is… Jen + Neepak’s proposal!
