Tom and I have been friends since high school- and through college. Our group of friends are still my closest and best peeps- ahheim 10 years later. (Ugh, it hurt to say that, lol.) When Tom asked me to photograph his wedding to beautiful Dina, I was delighted. They are getting married in May at the picturesque Rutgers Gardens and I cannot wait. I know its going to be beautiful…especially with all the blooming May flowers.
Dina and Tom make such a sweet couple. I especially love when they recounted the story of how Tom proposed. He asked her on the “top of the rock” in NYC in the middle of winter. It was freezing outside, but Dina said she barely felt the cold because she was so happy. I just love stories like that:)
The following are some photos from their engagement session taken on the boardwalk in Asbury Park, NJ.
enjoy! xoxo
