Joon and Greg are so much fun. Like, so. much. fun. From the moment we met right before Christmas to capture their engagement session, I knew this was going to be an unforgettable shoot. Their energy, love, and playfulness made every moment feel effortless, and honestly, I couldn’t be happier with the results.


While I might have wished for the sun to peek out from behind the clouds, the mild temperatures and stillness of the wind gave us the perfect environment for their session. No distractions, no gusts to battle—just the peaceful rhythm of the waves and the joy these two brought to every shot. The setting was Manasquan’s dog beach, a place I absolutely adore for engagement sessions. It’s filled with hidden gems and little nooks that make every session unique, and Joon and Greg were eager to explore them all.


We started with some candid moments by the shoreline, where they laughed and played like two people who genuinely love spending time together. The way they looked at each other and how naturally they interacted made my job so easy. You could see their personalities shine through every frame, from their infectious laughter to the sweet, quiet moments when they’d just hold each other and soak in the peaceful surroundings. It’s clear they share a deep connection and a genuine joy in each other’s presence.


One of my favorite parts of the session was when we ventured to one of my go-to spots—a secluded patch of dunes with tall grasses swaying gently in the breeze. The neutral tones of the sand and grasses created a beautiful backdrop that let their vibrant personalities take center stage. Joon’s outfit popped perfectly against the soft hues, while Greg’s casual yet stylish look added to the relaxed vibe of the shoot. They were game for everything, from playful spins to cozying up in the dunes, and each moment felt like a perfect representation of who they are as a couple.


As the session progressed, I found myself constantly smiling behind the camera. Joon and Greg have this infectious energy that makes you want to be around them, and it’s impossible not to feel uplifted in their presence. Whether they were cracking jokes, chasing each other along the beach, or simply holding hands and watching the waves, their love and happiness radiated through every shot. It’s couples like them that remind me why I love what I do—capturing the essence of their relationship and preserving it in images they can cherish forever.


Even without the sun making an appearance, the soft, diffused light gave the session a romantic and timeless feel. The muted colors of the sky and sea provided the perfect canvas for their vibrant connection to stand out. It’s proof that you don’t need perfect weather to create stunning images; all you need is a couple who’s willing to let their love shine through.


Now, as I look forward to their wedding at Clark’s Landing Yacht Club in Point Pleasant, NJ, I can’t help but get excited. If their engagement session was any indication, their wedding is going to be an absolute blast. Clark’s Landing is such a gorgeous venue, and I know it will provide the perfect setting for Joon and Greg to celebrate this next chapter of their lives with their loved ones. From the elegant ceremony space to the stunning views of the water, it’s the ideal place for a couple as fun and full of life as they are.


June can’t come soon enough. I’m counting down the days until I get to capture more of their love, laughter, and all the unforgettable moments that will make their wedding day so special. Joon and Greg, thank you for letting me be a part of your journey. I can’t wait to see you again and create even more memories together. Here’s to an amazing engagement session and an even more incredible wedding day ahead!
