A Surprise Proposal on the Beach in Lavalette, NJ

Some moments are so full of love, joy, and genuine surprise that they stay with you forever—and this was one of them. Ankur planned the most beautiful beach proposal for Alexis in Lavallette, New Jersey, and it was an absolute honor to capture every second.

Set against the backdrop of golden sand and ocean waves, Ankur got down on one knee and asked Alexis to spend forever with him. She said yes through tears of joy, completely surprised and overwhelmed with emotion. Surrounded by friends, family, and so much love—including Ankur’s mom who traveled all the way from India—this proposal couldn’t have been more meaningful.

What made the moment even more special was that Ankur’s daughter and Alexis’s son were both there to witness it. Seeing their reactions, and the way they embraced the moment as a growing family, was incredibly touching.

Ankur presented Alexis with a stunning emerald-cut diamond ring that sparkled in the late afternoon light. After the proposal, the couple was showered with hugs, champagne, and cheers from their loved ones right there on the beach. We followed the proposal with a few sweet portraits along the shore, capturing the glow of newly engaged love.

Lavallette provided the perfect coastal setting for such a heartfelt and intimate celebration. If you’re planning a surprise proposal on the beach, having it documented allows you to relive the moment forever—and it was such a privilege to capture this one.

Congratulations, Ankur, Alexis, and your beautiful
