asbury park boardwalk engagement session | nicole + samad

1920 meets 2020

Nicole & Samad have one of the sweetest "meet-cutes" of all time - they first crossed paths on a rainy morning in the parking lot of the school they both worked at. While Nicole was unloading her things in the downpour, Samad appeared with an umbrella and offered to shield her from the rain. Sparks immediately flew, and the rest was history!

Nicole & Samad's mutual love of bygone eras and bold & colorful art made the Asbury Park boardwalk the perfect spot for their engagement session, marrying the modern vibes of The Wooden Walls Project with the classic Convention Hall & Paramount Theatre, built in 1928. The hazy sky even came in clutch while helping to add to that certain 1920s je ne sais quoi! And if you couldn't tell from the photos, Samad kept Nicole & me laughing from the very first minute. I can't wait to celebrate in retro glory with them at The Molly Pitcher next November!
