Chris and Christine’s engagement session at Lake Mohawk in Sparta, NJ was full of hearty laughter, lake views and ice cream. They wanted a lakeside vibe comparable to their wedding venue, but somewhere slightly different for variation. I suggested the Lake Mohawk area because there is even a boardwalk and beachy areas for the couple to walk through the sand!

It was July, and what better activity to do during a Summer session than go get some ice cream?? We stopped at Alpine Creamery, which is a staple if you’ve been to the shops surrounding Lake Mohawk. The couple fed each other ice cream as it rapidly melted down their hands. It became a race of who could keep their clothes the cleanest – lol!

Chris and Christine just brought such a positive energy to the shoot, and followed our suggestion of turning the session into a date night. They kicked off their shoes on the sandy beaches around the lake and cozied up in the sand.

We absolutely cannot wait for their wedding at Lake Valhalla Club this May!
