I really love doing engagement sessions in Manasquan. There’s something about having both the park and the beach so close together that gives a session a little more variety without ever feeling like we’re just moving from one location to another.


You can start in the trees and along the paths, where everything feels a little quieter and more intimate, and then end up by the water as the light starts to change.


For me, that’s what makes a good engagement session — not just beautiful locations, but giving a couple space to actually be together, laugh, walk around, and forget about the camera for a little while.


Manasquan happens to give us a pretty perfect setting for that.
