Patti and Matt’s engagement session at Fisherman’s Cove in Manasquan was such a sweet way to ease back into shooting after maternity leave this August. Being back behind the camera, surrounded by soft beach light and ocean air, felt extra special. Fisherman’s Cove was the perfect setting for their session—laid-back, timeless, and effortlessly romantic.

Their love story is just as sweet. Matt proposed in Greece on the night of their 10-year anniversary during dinner at CTC Urban Gastronomy, a Michelin-star restaurant in Athens. While he originally planned to propose at The Spyhouse in Port Monmouth—where they once watched a sunset early in their relationship—the ring didn’t arrive in time. Greece ended up being even better, and proof that sometimes plans change for a reason.

I’m already counting down to their August 2026 wedding at The English Manor and can’t wait to celebrate them all over again. Patti and Matt, thank you so much for trusting me to capture this season of your lives 🤍
