romantic + rainy in red bank
Carla + Ben not only opted to keep their session date despite the forecasted rain, they made absolute magic out of it! When it came to choosing a location for their engagement photos, Red Bank was a no-brainer. Not only does the adorable town boast their favorite coffee shop, Ben chose to propose at the beautiful Riverside Gardens Park as a band played “With or Without You” in the background. After he popped the question, Ben convinced Carla to celebrate over drinks at a local bar – only to surprise her once more when she walked in to find their family & friends waiting to congratulate them!
Not only are Carla + Ben the sweetest (they greeted me a gift – a Claudia Chloe print they knew I’d love!), they were such incredible sports in the rain. Carla may also be the only woman in existence who looks absolutely fabulous in humidity (let’s just say I was super glad to be behind the camera that day!). Aside from each other, the pair love their adorable cockapoo Polo, traveling, and a good ol’ charcuterie board. Can’t wait for their Asbury Hotel wedding this summer!
