It has been on my bucket list to photograph a sunset beach session, and I am SO thankful I got the opportunity to do that for Lauren and Joe’s engagement session! These two live about 30 minutes away from Asbury Park, so when they suggested a dog-friendly beach location I could not be more excited. We started out their session with their fur-son, Rich (who is SUCH a good boy, and so sweet) and then transitioned into beach portraits…the light was incredible and these two could not have been more easy to photograph. Lauren was so relaxed and comfortable in Joe’s arms, and these two had me shouting “AH YES YOU GUYS! YOU’RE KILLIN IT!” from behind my camera after every single shot.

I absolutely cannot wait for their wedding next February at The Hamilton Manor! Enjoy some favorites from their Asbury park engagement session below…
