As I look out the window praying that some of the snow we got 4 days ago will finally melt, I fell upon Danielle and Brad’s engagement session with their adorable dog and it gave me all the summer energy so I had to post it. Coupled with the fact that they’re getting married at Crystal Point – this was a must.

Island Beach is one of my favorite locations for engagement sessions if you want beach energy and sweeping dunes. All beaches in New Jersey have their own personalities – some of them have boardwalks, some have waterfront homes. They really can all have very different looks! Island Beach even has several different options for different looks thru the session that range from ‘outer banks’ to a more standard coast. There are even options on the bayside which is such a lifesaver for wind!
