Their Session: Spring Lake NJ Engagement
Still on cloud nine from Amanda and Hussain’s Spring Lake NJ engagement session! These two are so much fun, and so filled with joy, you can’t help but smile along with them! I absolutely loved spending the evening with these two at Divine Park followed by the beach in Spring Lake! The scenery is so beautiful, it’s one of my favorite session locations! I have way too many favorites from their engagement shoot, and I can’t wait to share them all! But first you gotta read about their love story! 🙂
Their Love Story
The way Amanda & Hussain first met sounds like the plot to a really good movie. 🙂 Amanda gave me the scoop: “Funny Story: So, I got into a car accident one night (not the funny part). But any who, after the accident I went looking to purchase a new car. My father wanted me to go to Audi, so in my head I was like if I am looking at an Audi I might as well go to Lexus, because I had always wanted a Lexus.”
“So, I walked into the showroom in my gym attire after a workout. Then out of no where comes this guy that wasn’t actually supposed to be my sales person but he took the next person which was me. If it wasn’t for the fact that the guy who was supposed to take me didn’t, we would’ve never met. We met, I bought a car, and I had to leave so we found out we lived in the same town.”
“He ended up coming to my house to show me the car and ended up telling me we should go out for a drink at a place he heard was good. We pull up to the place, and funny thing is, it was Blu, my best friend’s dad’s bar/restaurant. We had drinks and my friend ended up working that night and was our bartender. It’s all a funny story and fun to look back at now.” Serendipity working at it’s finest! I’d say these two were meant to be. 🙂
The Proposal
Now you have to hear how Hussain proposed. Amanda said, “We were in St. Lucia at the Grande Sandals. One night we had a candle light dinner on the beach. As we were getting our photo taken Hussain turned and said I have something to ask you. The song “To The Moon and Back” by Luke Bryan, and during that song he made a speech and proposed which I teared up and loved it all.”
Amanda & Hussain
Amanda & Hussain, thank you so much for trusting me to capture this special season of your lives! You guys are the best and I’m so excited to be along for the journey! I can’t wait to photograph your Florentine Gardens wedding next year! Until then enjoy all the sweetness of being engaged! xoxo
