Courtney and David are one of those couples that just are.  They're connection is undeniable, their respect for each other mutual, their love for each other so very evident.  They are one of those couples that just make sense.  Two kindred spirits, complimenting each other, simply getting each other.  I had the good fortune of spending an afternoon with them in Long Beach Island in and around the Barnegat Lighthouse.  I knew of Courtney's connection to LBI, so despite the winter temperatures and impending snow, suggested we meet up on the island for their engagement session.  And let me tell you, these two were incredible sports, climbing the 217 steps to the top of Old Barney, facing directly into the wind so I could get shots that offered a glimpse into how these two could weather a storm together.  The photographs I captured that day, to me, are so very telling of who Courtney and David are as a couple.  They are so full of love for each other and strength together.  I am so grateful to them for inviting me to capture these moments, for allowing me to spend this time with them getting to know them.  And, in just a month, I will have the incredible honor of photographing their wedding and capturing the beginning of their journey together as husband and wife.  Saying that I cannot wait is an extreme understatement!!  Their wedding will encompass those who are closest to them, and will be a day of celebration, family and close friends.  And it will be in the beautiful Water's Edge in Bayville, NJ.  Pinch me, seriously.  Please someone pinch me ;)  Courtney and David, cheers to you and know that I am counting down the days with you! :)
