An Intimate Engagement Session at Asbury Hotel, NJ

As a wedding and engagement photographer, I have the pleasure of capturing the unique love stories of couples from all walks of life. E and K’s intimate engagement photos at the Asbury Hotel in NJ were a perfect example of how a couple’s authenticity and connection can shine through, even on a snowy, rainy day.

Adapting to the Weather for Stunning Snowy Engagement Photos

They had originally planned for their engagement session to take place at Hartshorn Woods Park, but Mother Nature had other plans. With rain and snow in the forecast, we pivoted and chose the Asbury Hotel as our backdrop. This couple’s ability to go with the flow and stay true to themselves was a testament to their genuine love and connection.

The hotel provided the perfect setting for an intimate engagement session, with its cozy cafe, vintage vinyl record area, and charming bar. Their willingness to be themselves and enjoy each other’s company made for some truly authentic and heartwarming moments.

Capturing Intimate Moments in Documentary-Style Engagement Photography 

Throughout the shoot, I focused on capturing the little moments that told the couple’s unique love story. From sipping coffee under the warm glow of lantern lighting to playing board games in the bar area, every moment was a reflection of their deep connection and affection for one another.

One of my favorite moments was when the bride-to-be climbed into a tree near the lake, showcasing the pair’s love for nature and their playful spirits. As a documentary-style wedding photographer, I strive to create images that tell a genuine story and showcase the couple’s personality, and these intimate engagement photos were no exception.

The Magic of a Winter Engagement Shoot in Asbury Park, NJ

Despite the unexpected weather, the soon-to-be-weds’ snowy engagement photos turned out to be some of my favorites. The duo’s willingness to embrace the elements and enjoy intimate moments together created a magical, almost cinematic atmosphere. As we walked around the lake, the snow-covered landscape provided a stunning backdrop for their love story.
