Danielle & Michael | Princeton University Engagement

Danielle and I went to the same high school, she makes the most unbelivable sweets (just as sweet as her!), so when we met to chat about her engagement photos... I couldn't contain myself from the excitement.  

We munched on avocado toast and sipped iced lattes as she retold her story of how she met Mike and his surprise proposal. Mike set up an entire day for them in Newport, Rhode Island and even had his coworkers and family in on the surprise. 

They went to the perfect spot for sunset and when Mike asked Danielle to marry him, she cried and then he cried... and then of course I cried as she was retelling the story.

What I loved most is that she said he changed his heart for her and she watched him grow into the man he is today. 

We walked and had plenty of laughs around Princeton University and then ate a yummy lunch together downtown. I had such a great time with Danielle and Chris Pratt (ahem I mean Mike ;) Here are my favorite photographs from their engagement session!

Michele & Michael | Asbury Park Engagement

I met Michele in a cute coffee shop and we talked about her beautiful wedding details over large mugs of frothy double chocolate cappuccinos with marshmallows floating to the rim. 

She told me they had been dating for about 9 years before Michael proposed, and they had known each other since elementary school. One day when she least expected it, she came home from work and Michael prepared the words "Will you marry me?" starting from the outside parking lot all the way inside. Michele couldn't believe it, he really surprised her! One of their favorite things to do together is going to concerts. 

We walked around Asbury Park, ran around on the sand as we soaked our feet in the cool water (well I totally got drenched!), and enjoyed the breeze. Michele and Michael, you are absolutely stunning... I'm so excited for your beach wedding next year! Here are my favorites from their engagement session.
