An afternoon on the beach with Alex & Mike

Alex told me she was very nervous to have her photo taken. She glows with a natural beauty, but, like most of my clients, considers herself camera shy. We decided to calm everyone’s nerves the best thing would be to add an engagement session to the package. This would give us a chance to get to know one another and start to build trust. We met at their home in New Jersey, a new construction that Mike and his dad did together. Then we headed to the place where they met, Asbury Park, New Jersey.

Alex had just moved to the area and new Mike’s mother who orchestrated a first meeting. She invited Mike to a family dinner without mentioning Alex was invited. Sparks flew and the rest is history. Both beach lovers, the wedding would be held at Little Egg Harbor Yacht Club, so we decided the engagement session should be similarly themed.
