Summertime Spring Lake Engagement Session | Lindsey & Derek

Capturing Lindsey and Derek’s Summertime Spring Lake engagement session was the perfect way to spend the evening! These two are simply perfect together, and I loved the chance to chat with them about their love story and wedding plans. Lindsey and Derek are high school sweethearts who stayed together through college while she was at Villanova and he went to Duke University! Now, they’re happy to be back together in the same state and are so ready to begin the next chapter of their lives together. I’m so happy that they made time in their busy lives to slow down, connect, and celebrate their engagement together. 

Spring Lake Engagement Session 

We met up in Spring Lake, NJ for Lindsey and Derek’s engagement session. It’s such a beautiful spot and provided us with a lot of options for their photos. We kicked off the session in the downtown area of Spring Lake. I love the classic storefronts (the pink awning was my FAVORITE!) and downtown vibes, so it was a great spot to walk around and warm up to being photographed!! Lindsey and Derek were naturals, though, so it didn’t take long for them to feel comfortable and confident together in front of the camera. Next, we headed to Divine Park. This is a spot I’ve visited on wedding days and other engagement sessions – and I always love it. The sun was slowly beginning to set, so we got the most beautiful glowy light while we were there. 

We ended our session together on the beach as the sun was fully going down. Lindsey and Derek were amazing – willing to jump in the water as they laughed and snuggled up together. I love that we were able to capture the cotton candy sunset behind them over the ocean. It was the most incredible end to our engagement session! 

Congratulations again, Lindsey and Derek! I’m SO happy for you and cannot wait until your wedding day!!
