Megan & Chris – Long Beach Island Engagement

Ray Hennessy — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 21:25:24 +0000

Kim and I met Megan and Chris on Long Beach Island and just drove around and stopped at a few places for their engagement shoot. We ended up at Barnegat Lighthouse for the end of the session and we took a few pictures as the sun was setting. It wasn’t a perfectly clear day but the sun was nicely filtered through the thin whispy clouds. It was a really nice day out and we had a great time with the two of them. We will be traveling up to Wappingers Falls NY (which I hear is beautiful) for the wedding next October and I’m really looking forward to it. As always, here are a few of my favorite shots from the day.

Robin & Family

A friend of Robin’s gave her a portrait session as a gift so she met Kim and I on the Ocean City beach with her two girls Madison and Rylee. This was actually the third try for all of us because Robin’s family had a bad luck streak of broken bones (2 I believe) that forced us to reschedule but it was completely worth the wait and I have to thank Robin for hanging in there.

I think the girls came to play so that’s exactly what we did and it turned out awesome. Robin seemed so excited that her girls were having fun. She had asked us for some not-so-posed pictures as she already had plenty of that style, we were happy to oblige. Rylee, the little one was hilarious, at one point specifically requesting that Kim take her picture and kicking me to the curb, haha, which was fine because I was able to get a few great shots of Madison then. We ended the evening with a gorgeous sunset and a few silhouettes of the girls playing in the ocean. Over all it was another great family portrait on the beach. Now on to the pics:

Stacey & Dave – Trash the Dress

The day after my sister’s wedding Kim had the idea to take them to the beach and have a little fun. Kim had brought a wedding dress with her just for the purpose, we actually stuffed this thing into a tiny ball and shoved it in the luggage, it was hilarious when we were packing and I was sitting on this ball of a dress for 10 minutes trying to make it as small as possible. Anyway, as you can see this was the end of the dress, after it was in the ocean, we had Dave pour wine (actually some sort of cran-grape juice) on the dress and then we tossed it in the trash. Here’s a few photos from that day and you can see some of Kim’s shots here.
