Downtown Lambertville, Summer Engagement Photos- Lambertville, NJ

Sheila and Mike’s engagement session in charming downtown Lambertville felt like the kind of easy, natural chemistry that comes from years of truly knowing and loving each other. With their wedding set to take place at Lambertville Station Inn this coming January, the session was a nice preview of what’s to come—only this time, featuring the greenery of early summer. Exploring the town together while capturing these sweet moments made for such a special way to celebrate this chapter in their story.

Their journey began back in 2020, thanks to a perfectly timed match on Coffee Meets Bagel. Sheila broke the ice by admitting she had never seen Forrest Gump—a fact that still holds true five years later—and the two bonded over shared love for pop culture, New Jersey, and the show Riverdale. From their outdoor drinks date on the Upper East Side to long city walks, crossword puzzles, and trying out new bakeries, their relationship blossomed through a mix of humor, curiosity, and thoughtful connection. When it came time to propose, Mike popped the question in their New York apartment, surrounded by photos of them and their two cats, just days after Sheila returned from a work trip to Beijing. The ring, which Mike designed with input from Sheila’s late best friend Rob, was a deeply meaningful surprise that added even more heart to the moment.

Their engagement session reflected all the things that make Sheila and Mike such a great match—thoughtfulness, playfulness, and an effortless sense of fun. They plan to use their photos for their wedding invitations and to finally replace some of those Covid era selfies with framed memories for their home. It was the perfect way to celebrate their future wedding spot while seeing it in a whole new light.

Sheila and Mike, congratulations on your engagement! I can’t wait to be a part of the celebration in January. It’s clear your day will be filled with love and just the right amount of silliness—exactly the way it should be.
