Margate Beach Engagement Photoshoot | Kieran and Ernie

Kieran and Ernie’s Margate Beach engagement photoshoot was relaxed, candid and perfectly suited to a couple who loves the shore. The two met at a bar in college and have been together for three years. Since then, they have built a relationship around spending quality time together, whether that means hiking, traveling, skiing, going for coffee, cheering on the Eagles or heading to the beach. What makes their relationship strong is the effort they continue to make for one another. They show up for each other, make time for their relationship and continue to grow together.

A Surprise Proposal in Naples

Ernie proposed while the couple was on vacation in Naples, Florida. Kieran knew an engagement might happen soon, but she had no idea it would happen on that trip. Before dinner, Ernie suggested taking a few photos outside the hotel. He had already arranged the perfect setting and hired a photographer to capture the moment. He even had the ring shipped directly to the hotel so Kieran would not suspect anything. Naples had no special meaning to them before the proposal, but it quickly became one of their favorite places.

Margate Beach Engagement Photos

For their engagement session, Kieran and Ernie chose Margate Beach in New Jersey because the beach is already an important part of their life together. They wanted candid, lifestyle-inspired images, so the session focused on natural movement, laughter and relaxed moments by the water. Their Margate Beach engagement photos felt easy and personal, capturing the same fun and connection that have defined their relationship from the beginning.
