Natirar Park Engagement Photography

This engagement session was by far one of my favorites! Amber and Chris both took a deserved morning off from work to meet with me at Natirar Park in Gladstone, NJ. These two are beyond awesome! We had the best time walking around on one of the most perfect Fall days. The leaves were literally falling off the trees all around us. You can’t ask for anything better! Natirar Park is such a beautiful location with a large open field, a babbling brook and an adorable little bridge. I really enjoyed talking with Amber and Chris and getting to know this sweet couple more. We discussed their upcoming wedding in JAMAICA!!!! Which I am SOOO excited to be photographing for them! Thank you guys for choosing me, I can’t wait for your wedding day!

Hartshorne Park Engagement Session

Once upon a Sunday morning Lauren + Drew woke up bright & early to meet me for their engagement session!!! It was a chilly fall morning until the sun popped out and gave us some warmth & beautiful light. Lauren + Drew’s outfits paired so well with the fall colors. Lauren is from New Jersey and Drew is from Indiana- they’ve had long distance relationship for the past two years. These two are extremely sweet & I really enjoyed capturing their love and getting to know them more during our time together. We strolled around Hartshorne Park a bit, and then decided to walk down towards a little beach area. We got there at just the right time where the sun was bouncing off the water so beautifully! We expressed how glad we were to have been able to meet that day since Drew was flying back home that night! I’m so glad it worked out & I can’t wait to capture them on their wedding day this summer at The Ryland Inn!!

Danielle + Jeff's Engagement session in Point Pleasant and Manasquan was such a blast and SO gorgeous!!! These two are awesome together and we laughed the whole time while we exchanged quotes from The Office haha! We had so much fun at the Point Pleasant boardwalk which was like a ghost town this late in the season! It was like we had the whole place to ourselves- which was great, haha! Danielle & Jeff wanted to get some photos in the arcade which I am always a fan of. They told me about their collection of arcade tickets and how they are saving up for a really big prize! The boardwalk was all decked out in Fall and Halloween decor and these two had a blast with the Halloween cutouts LOL! We took some beautiful sunny photos on the beach with the palm trees and then headed over to Manasquan Inlet for some photos on the rocks. So pretty! We ended up on this little beach there right at sunset. Perfect timing for some gorgeous romantic sunset photos! I am SO excited for Danielle and Jeff’s wedding. If their engagement session is any indication of how awesome their wedding is going to be I am in for one AMAZING day!

 

Sandy Hook Engagement Session | Elyce + Matt

Elyce + Matt are such an awesome couple! They are high school sweethearts (just like me and my husband!) and they got engaged on the beach (just like me and my husband lol) at sunrise! As I talked more with them we found that there were many similarities in our stories including the fact that we live just a block away from each other! I met up with Elyce + Matt at Sandy Hook on a cool Autumn evening. The light was just gorgeous for photos! We started by exploring the bayside and found some really awesome and unique spots. We even got some amazing sunset photos on the bridge right at the perfect time. I had such a blast with these two! They are so easy to talk to and they made the whole session super relaxed. The way they smile and laugh with each other is so adorable! I cannot wait for their wedding in 2020! 

Congratulations Elyce + Matt!

Enjoy the photos :)

 

Spring Lake Engagement Session | Gina + Nick

 
Spring Lake Engagement Session

Gina and Nick are one of those couples that I could take photos of all day! They are both so sweet and have smiles that are contagious! I had a fantastic time with these two in Spring Lake earlier this year for their engagement session. These two are just naturals and the love that they have for each other really shines though! It was such a gorgous day and we had fun walking around the park as passersby wished their congratulations to the happy couple. The beach is always the perfect spot to end at as the colors are so beautiful! I can not wait to capture their wedding day at the Channel Club next year!!!

This was such a fun engagement session! Anytime I get to go to Hoboken for a shoot I get so excited. There are so many cool locations for photos and it is just an awesome place to be! We started this session on one of the cobblestone streets in the city- so pretty! Since we were on a block we were surrounded by garages, fences, and garbage cans but it was fun for me to get creative and frame it so that you wouldn’t know! We made our way down to the water front to get some of the gorgeous NYC skyline in the background. We had a great time talking about wedding plans and the city as we walked from location to location. Lauren & Bobby are such an awesome couple I can’t wait to see them on their wedding day and capture the love they have for one another!

 

Highlands NJ Engagement Photography | Maura + Chris

 
Highlands NJ Engagement Session

Wow, what an awesome time I had with Maura + Chris! They are such a beautiful couple inside and out! You’d think some rain clouds would have set us back, but it actually worked to our advantage considering the time of day we met. I couldn’t believe how quickly this couple became comfortable in front of the camera. We even laughed about how it seemed like they’ve both done this before, haha! I’m so glad we we’re able to get such a variety of photos in the same place! In between shots we walked around to find some more cool settings and chatted about their wedding planning journey. We ended our time by driving down to the beach and got some more sweet shots of the couple! It was so much fun shooting Maura + Chris’ engagement session and capturing their love for each other. I can’t wait to do the same on their wedding day which is just under 2 weeks away!

 

Red Bank NJ Engagement Session | Melissa & Justinn

 
Red Bank NJ Engagement Session

 

I met Melissa + Justinn in Red Bank on an early fall day. Although it was windy and much chillier than we expected Melissa and Justinn made the best out of it. They were very easy going and super awesome to work with! We started in the Riverside Gardens Park where I got some lovely pictures of the sweet couple. Their outfits really complimented each other. We then headed down to Broad St. where we had some fun sharing a beer together at The Robinson's Ale House. They will be getting married in just a few short weeks at The English Manor! I'm so excited to capture this beautiful couple on their wedding day. :)
