During this romantic, beach engagement session, Jenna and Daniel wanted to encapsulate the joy of their romantic summer in their session. Inspired by their proposal, we made little pit stops along the way as we visited their favorite locations of Long Beach Island and to of course, encapusualte their summer and season of their proposal in their session! During our session, we explored the waterfront Barnegat Light and beautiful beach, the stunning vistas of their private LBI estate, and of course, the stunning waterfront.
