Their Session: Sea Isle City Engagement
Nicole and Kelson’s Sea Isle City engagement session was so much fun. These two love Sea Isle, and that’s where their wedding will take place in May. It was such thoughtful choice to pick it for their engagement session location! We started at Nicole’s family beach house, and then enjoyed the empty beach, and downtown iconic spots! It was the most beautiful fall day, with a gorgeous sunset. They even included their adorable pup, Malcolm for some photos! I had the best time at this session and can’t wait to share all my favorite photos! But first…a little bit of their love story.
Their Love Story
Nicole and Kelson first met on Bumble in 2019. Nicole told me, “after talking for a few weeks, we decided to meet at a bar in New Brunswick. Kelson knew I was a rangers fan and that there was a game that night, so he made sure that the bar would have the game on for me (without even asking or talking to me about it prior).”
When I asked these two to share with me one thing they love about each other, Nicole said, “I love his sense of calm, his eloquence, his dedication to what/whom he loves.” Kelson said, “I love her intelligence.”
The Proposal
Kelson proposed to Nicole at the Beacon Theater before a Brett Eldredge Christmas Concert last December. As Nicole tells it, “Brett is a favorite of mine and my family and we go to that show every year (it’s where Kelson met my parents for the first time in 2019!) We’ve taken a picture in front of the Christmas trees in the lobby every year, so I thought we were just getting our annual pic, but Kelson proposed and my mom was filming (she had the ring in her purse the whole night leading up!!). And my grandma was there which was really really special,”
When I asked them what they’re loving most about being engaged, they said, “seeing how genuinely happy all of our family and friends are for us and about us getting married, getting excited for the future together and the next steps, the ring! And using the word fiancé!”
Nicole & Kelson
Nicole & Kelson, you two are such a joy! I had a blast photographing you two and exploring this gorgeous town of Sea Isle City. Thank you so much for having me as a part of this special season! I can’t wait to be back in Sea Isle with you guys for your wedding at the Yacht Club! Until then, soak in every minute of being fiancés! Sending the biggest hug! xoxo
