This Ocean City, New Jersey, Engagement session has me all a flutter. I mean how romantic is this… John and Lyndsey dancing on the very beach that she grew up on. A beach which happens to be just minutes away from the shoreline he visited his whole life through. And now the tides have allowed their stories to collide. It seems that all of creation is joining them in the crescendo of their excitement as they live in the final moments before they say “I DO.” I am so thankful to be a part of capturing this moment for them.

John and I met about 5 years ago when I started working at the same company as him. Fast forward 2 years to June 2012 and a trip to Atlantic City with work friends. A little flirting and liquid courage lead to our first kiss and our first date followed a few days later. After 2 spectacular dates, I came up with a handful of ridiculous reason why it would never work, decided I wasn’t quite ready for all the amazingness John had to offer (what was I thinking??) and sadly blew him off. Its a good thing he’s patient! Months later at a Christmas party my then roommate convinced me I was crazy and that I needed to give him another chance. John claims he knew I was the one from our very first date and waited patiently until I was ready. December 29, 2012 was our “second first date” and we’ve been happily in love ever since. John and I compliment each other so perfectly that we both knew very early on the we were meant for each other. I was ready for an engagement a year into our relationship but in true John fashion he took his time and waited for the perfect moment to propose. On December 16, 2015 in front of my family John got down on one knee at 4000+ ft. elevation on top of a mountain and asked me to marry him. It was magical, perfect and everything I could have asked for. We are so excited for our upcoming wedding!
