Mike and Michelle’s Engagement Session

Mike and Michelle contacted us about their wedding after meeting us  while we photographed Susan and Adam’s wedding last October. They loved what we did so much that they actually planned their wedding date around our availability!

Wanting to do something different and unique for their engagement session, we decided to take a road trip and visit them at their home in Long Island. The best part of this decision was the fact that they lived a very short walk away from the beach and just up the road from beautiful downtown Babylon.

When their day finally came, it couldn’t have been any better – bright, beautiful blue skies with a few clouds and warm, summer-like weather! As things got underway, we walked up and down the shoreline, joked around, let them sneak in a few kisses and then surprised them with a little request – to get into the very cold water! Like two excited little kids, they accepted and we captured some incredible shots.

After getting the images we wanted, we headed back to the house so Mike and Michelle could get cleaned up before we headed to downtown Babylon for a quick stop in Argyle Park and then a stroll down main street. We made a few stops along our walk into alleys, store fronts and even a little outdoor cafe.

We ended the day with a trip to their local Sushi restaurant for some good food and the chance to wind down and talk more about their big day in August at The Tides in North Haledon, NJ. Having photographed Laurel and Patrick’s wedding there back in 2008, we can’t wait to return and get some awesome shots with Mike and Michelle.

Here are some of our favorites from their engagement session!
