Get ready for some serious cuteness…because Katie and Matthew’s engagement session has it all!  From bikes, to the beach, to a friendly game of tennis, Katie and Matthew know how to have fun!  This couple believes in living life to the fullest and can often be found spending their weekends outdoors.  I had the pleasure of joining them one Sunday.  After meeting at their adorable apartment, we headed down to the beach to warm our toes in the sand.  As I watched Katie and Matthew laugh and play together, a happy feeling washed over me.  Katie and Matthew’s affection for each other shone brighter than the sun and I felt so lucky to be in the presence of true love.

Katie and Matthew, it was a complete honor capturing your engagement session in Oceanside, NY!  Enjoy some of my favorite photos from the day below!

Katie and Matthew’s wedding at the Shoreham Country Club is only a few weeks away!

A playful heart might be the most attractive quality on a guy…EVER!

After splashing in the water, Katie and Matthew sat down to relax on this sweet lace blanket.

LOVE this one!

Katie, your ring is absolutely gorgeous!

Nestled in the arms of a loved one can often feel like home.

Stealing a kiss. 😉

Katie wanted Matthew to pick her up for one of the shots!  He was thinking in terms of the photos above…while she wanted the look of the one below!

I think both poses are adorable!

After playing on the beach, we headed over to the tennis courts for a fun match!

Katie, you are STUNNING!

A big thanks goes out to Jeff Rothstein for letting me borrow the old wooden racquets and vintage tennis props!

Katie and Matthew couldn’t wait to get out on the court!

Matthew played in high school and college!  He had a killer serve!

As competitive as tennis can get, Katie and Matthew were still smiling when the final point was over.

Thank you again Katie and Matthew for a fabulous day!  You are such a sweet couple with a love for life!  I really enjoyed getting to know you and I am looking forward to your wedding on September 8, 2012!
