A Beachy Kent Island Engagement Session | Jess & Dave

A Beachy Kent Island Engagement Session | Jess & Dave

I’m pretty sure Jess and Dave were made to be an AWP couple. Jess was instantly an expert at my signature move, the “look-lean-laugh”, and Dave was totally content to smile at her adoringly! These first two images were taken about three minutes into the session. I can already tell their wedding day will be a breeze!

Jess and Dave met the old fashioned way: at a mutual friend’s house party! They were supposed to be celebrating their friend’s birthday, but just couldn’t leave each other alone. And the rest, as they say, is history! After spending some time with them, I can confirm that they’re a perfect balance for each other. Jess is outgoing and can laugh on cue, while Dave is quieter and more reserved. They remind me a lot of me and Adam!

They got engaged at the Kent Manor Inn earlier this summer, so what better location for their engagement session? I’d never been  to Kent Manor Inn before, and the views did not disappoint. The entrance to the inn is absolutely stunning! After exploring the inn, we headed over to Terrapin Beach so that a VERY special four-legged visitor could join us. Jess and Dave killed it during their session, but their dog, Spud, TOTALLY stole the show! Just wait til you see this bulldog of theirs!

Please enjoy getting to know these two through a few of my favorites from their session! Thanks for trusting me, you two. Cannot wait until the wedding in May!
