Charming Couple Caught On Camera During ‘Perfect’ Manasquan Beach Proposal

It's the season for scenic and spectacular proposals.  I've seen them all over social media, but one really caught my eyes.  It happened on a beautiful spring day on Manasquan Beach.

On June 4th, 2007, I dropped to one knee and proposed to my now wife.  I, too, captured it cleverly on camera.  I even posted it to YouTube and over 48,000 people have viewed it.  I consider my effort a 6 out of 10.  You can watch it here.  Now that you've seen my embarrassing video, I want to share one that I rate much higher.

Allow me to share the story of how Andrew and Gina went from a stroll on the beach to euphoria in just a matter of minutes.  The photos and story captivated me and hopefully they will you too.

What made Andrew's proposal so successful?

• Planning and Preparation
  • He picked a great location.  Manasquan Beach is a beautiful choice and also near and dear to the couple.
  • He chose a Monday afternoon on a sunny beautiful day when the beach wouldn't be crowded and obstructed and would allow for more privacy.
  • He hired an amazing photographer that specializes in these moments.

What an amazing moment!  Congratulations Gina and Andrew and best wishes on a long, happy marriage!
