Summer Asbury Park Boardwalk Engagement

Engagements

This loving couple joined me on a perfect weather evening in Asbury Park, New Jersey for their sweet summertime engagement session! The breeze and the water temperature were just beautiful. I wish I’d brought my bathing suit to hop in! Jill & Tom were so laid back and down for any location and any pose suggested. My favorite part was strolling through the sandbar with them for some giggly and cute kisses shots. I also really loved the dramatic and industrial background of the old Asbury Park casino building. We got to that section of the boardwalk just in time before the sun went down! I am so excited for Jill & Tom’s wedding at The Shore Club next spring. I can’t wait to capture even more stunning shots of this photogenic couple of cuties!

What to Wear for Family Photos

Resources

When preparing for your family photo shoot, it’s important to coordinate your outfits for a cohesive look. Select a color scheme and use colors that complement each other. Avoid everyone wearing the same thing to look too matchy-matchy and logos. Some should be in patterns, while others should be in plain colors. Consider the location you’re taking photos, the time of year, your skin tones, even where in your home you plan to hang these photos. Lay out everyone’s outfit next to each other (if you can) beforehand to see if there’s a nice flow.

This adorable couple joined me on a sunkissed evening in Manasquan, New Jersey for their sweet summertime engagement session! The lighting was just beautiful. Michele & Alex weren’t afraid to get their feet wet (literally) so we had so much fun splashing around in the surf for some candid shots. The two had an infectious laugh and giggled the whole time! I am so excited for their Asbury Park wedding next spring! It is going to be a beautiful wedding day and if it’s anything like our engagement session together, I know it’ll be an absolutely amazing day.
