Madi and Anthony’s Footbridge Beach engagement session is what coastal dreams are made of. These college sweethearts were such a joy to celebrate, and I could not get enough of their sweet pup either. Both Madi and Anthony love the ocean and living on the coast in New England. Madi grew up visiting family in Ogunquit, ME, and it’s still a very special place for her and Anthony, so we had to bring their engagement session here. We originally planned for a couple of different locations, but the impending rain had us pivot, and we created magic before the storm rolled in.

A College Love

Madi and Anthony met sophomore year at Endicott College and officially started dating senior year after growing their friendship through college. Together they have a sweet puppy, Magnolia, who made an appearance and stole the show.

She Said Yes

Anthony proposed to Madi while on a walk by the ocean in Gloucester, MA. He had a friend waiting to capture the moment and Madi spotted him, so she guessed something was up right before Anthony popped the question. After she said yes, they spent the day celebrating with friends. So fun!

Footbridge Beach Engagement Session

We met for their engagement session at Footbridge Beach on an overcast afternoon, determined to beat the rain that was on its way. We started right on the beach with their fluffy puppy Magnolia before a quick outfit change. Then we explored the marshland and grasses on the other side of the dunes for a really different feel that didn’t require us to lose any time to travel.

Madi and Anthony didn’t let the rain stop them from having a good time. They were popping a bottle of bubbles when it started to sprinkle, laughing and embracing the rain as they kicked off their sandals and toasted to their love. It was so fun to play in the rain with them!

This rainy day at Footbridge Beach celebrating Madi and Anthony couldn’t have been more perfect. They embraced the rain and we truly had the best time creating beautiful memories and portraits together.
