While deciding on a location for their engagement session, Jess + Brandon had chosen Manasquan for the fact that they had spent every weekend in Manasquan during their first summer together. Well April showers and crazy weather forced us to relocate to Convention Hall in Asbury Park, NJ for their engagement photography session and all 3 of us were really glad that it did! This session ROCKED!! Like literally!
We started the session up in the Overlook of Convention Hall. It was the perfect spot with its bright white walls and huge windows; a photographer’s dream! We had fun with the balloons that J + B brought along and we even found some confetti laying around. I love confetti!
We then made our way to the marquee in front of Convention Hall for some “super star” style photos and snapped some with the twinkling lights in the background. From there we visited the Paramount Theater and took some photos in the seats and backstage. They were all set up to play a movie that evening on the big screen. It was pretty cool.
We finished the session on the beach and even though it was cold and windy, Jess + Brandon were totally cool with taking a stroll.
Jess + Brandon are the sweetest couple and they first met through a mutual friend while in Atlantic City for Jess’s birthday. A few months later they reconnected and exchanged numbers. They became “official” three days later on 4th of July under the fireworks. On the night that Brandon proposed he spread rose petals all over and greeted Jess at the door with dozens of red roses throughout the house. Jess followed the petals and at the end was Brandon asking her to be his wife!
They are getting married in October at the Gramercy Lakeside Manor in Hazlet, NJ. They are very excited to spend the evening with their friends and family, some of which will be traveling very far to see them tie the knot!!
Even though we didn’t get to shoot in Manasquan, I am so happy we held this session at Convention Hall. I remember when I first met Jess + Brandon and we instantly connected over music and were then chatting about Skate n Surf Festivals we had been to at Convention Hall. This session was so fun and I think it will be something that they remember for ever!! I seriously can’t wait for the wedding!!
LOVE these pink pumps! The perfect accent to their outfits!!
sidenote: We found this confetti on the floor. {listen when you find confetti, you use the confetti!!}
Cuddles at the theater?!?!? YES!
