Emma & Andrew’s Spring Lake NJ Engagement Session

As a New Jersey Wedding Photographer, I’ve learned that your engagement session location can play a huge role in setting the tone for your engagement photos. Emma and Andrew’s Spring Lake NJ engagement session perfectly showcased their love story with romantic beach views and golden hour magic.

These engagement photos are more than just snippets you share on social media. They can be used for save-the-dates and even decor on your actual wedding day. So as much as you may want to just “wing it,” think again! You want your engagement session to truly represent your story as a fiancé.

Their Love Story

In 2020, Emma and Andrew first met, and from the very beginning, their connection was undeniable. After a few years of dating, Andrew planned a romantic proposal in beautiful California. With their entire family surrounding them, Emma said “yes.” Love and joy filled the celebration. Having their loved ones present made it unforgettable.

The couple now lives in Colorado with their sweet dog Bentley, enjoying mountain life while keeping the beach close to their hearts. For their engagement photos, Spring Lake Beach in New Jersey was the perfect choice.

Why Choose Spring Lake for Your Engagement Session

Spring Lake is one of the most sought-after engagement photo locations along the Jersey Shore, and for good reason. Its wide sandy beaches, soft waves, and dreamy golden light create the perfect romantic backdrop. Emma and Andrew felt right at home in this location. It brought together their love for the beach, fresh sea air, and peaceful ocean sounds.

Their outfits perfectly complemented the coastal setting, bringing a relaxed yet elevated style to their photos. As the sun set over the horizon, the beach gave us the most magical light to capture their connection.

Spring Lake Beach Photography Permit Information

If you’re planning a Spring Lake NJ engagement session, it’s important to know the photography guidelines. Beach access is generally free during the off-season. During summer months (from Memorial Day through Labor Day) you will need beach badges to enter during the day. Many photographers prefer to schedule engagement sessions around sunrise or sunset for the best lighting and to avoid crowds.

No special photography permit is typically required for small portrait sessions. However, it’s always a good idea to check the latest rules with the Borough of Spring Lake. Near the beach, parking is available but can fill up quickly in the summer. Planning ahead is key.

Looking Ahead to Their Wedding at Baltusrol Golf Club

Emma and Andrew will be saying “I do” in June 2026 at the stunning Baltusrol Golf Club. This New Jersey wedding venue is extra special to Emma. She grew up spending her childhood enjoying countless memories at the club. With its classic beauty, lush grounds, and timeless charm, Baltusrol is the perfect setting for their elegant wedding day. It will be such a joy to capture their celebration at a place filled with so much meaning to their story.
