Planning your engagement session can be full of choices – there’s location, timing and wardrobe to consider! I recommend choosing a location and time of year that’s different from your wedding, so you have a broad range of images to showcase this exciting time in your lives. Danielle & Nick chose early summer for their Spring Lake engagement session, which provided them with a beautiful contrast to their fall wedding photos at The Estate at Eagle Lake!

Spring Lake NJ | A Perfect Spot for Engagement Sessions

If you’re looking for the perfect NJ shore engagement session location that has it all, look no further than Spring Lake! This charming coastal town is known for pristine beaches, historic architecture and a serene atmosphere. In addition to the beautiful white-sand beaches and renovated boardwalk, the town is also renowned for its stunning Victorian architecture including grand homes and tree-lined streets.

Finally, nestled in the heart of Spring Lake is Divine Park, a peaceful green space featuring beautiful gardens, walking paths and two lakes with stunning wooden bridges. One of these lakes faces westward which allows for breathtaking sunset photos.

Spring Lake Engagement Session | Danielle & Nick

Danielle & Nick met 11 years ago and have been inseparable since! When I first met them, they shared with me that they were planning a casual and fun wedding, focused on celebrating their family & friends. We laughed and had fun throughout their whole session and Danielle’s smile was truly contagious.

Spring Lake Engagement Session | Smart Accessorizing

Many couples choose to bring a change of outfits to their engagement sessions, but Danielle & Nick – being the casual and carefree individuals that they are – decided that was too much fuss! Instead, they accessorized their session to add visual variety! Danielle brought a fun beach hat which she wore for some photos, and I supplied a blanket and picnic basket with champagne to add some variety as well. If you don’t feel up to a full outfit change, little accessories like this can make all the difference to style your photos.

Spring Lake Engagement Session | Printing Artwork to Enjoy

After their session, I met with Danielle & Nick to help them pick their favorite images and design printed artwork from their session. They chose a stunning Fine Art Portrait Box filled with prints – a beautiful and versatile piece that’s perfect for any home, even if you’re renting!
