Last week I got to photograph this natural, carefree, gorgeous couple in the lush green meadows of Cheesequake State Park.

Ashley & Mike were pretty much the dream couple to photograph – they kept each other laughing the whole time and they had no problem taking off their shoes or walking through puddles to get the right shot.

Ashley & Mike have a unique love story: They met back in high school and dated for several years, throughout both high school & college. When life led them in separate directions, they continued to stay in touch and eventually life brought them back together and now they’re getting married!

Our shoot happened to be scheduled on the day after a torrential downpour, which created some huge, marsh-like puddles!

They were such naturals at posing that they even mastered the “smile while kissing” pose without me having to explain!

 
It was such a pleasure getting to capture Ashley & Mike’s love story and I can’t wait to capture their big day in September!!
