Drew University engagement session with Adrienne and Anthony
Last Sunday morning, I was happy to meet up with Adrienne and Anthony for their engagement session. I have had a chance to meet Adrienne, but with Anthony at school in Texas, I never had a chance to meet him. They chose a location where they first met, as an R.A and resident I am [...]
Engagement session in Hoboken, New Jersey – Tammie and Dave
The past few weekends have given us rain or threats of rain, enough to postpone Tammie and Dave’s engagement session. But this past Saturday, despite a call for rain, turned out beautiful to wander around Hoboken. We stopped at the train station, then made our way up to Stevens, where both Tammie and Dave went [...]
Hoboken engagement session – Courtney and Mike
Despite some really hot weather this past Wednesday, Courtney, Mike and myself met up in Hoboken for their engagement session. I think the weather was an indicator on some interesting things going on in town that night! We saw a “pet” komodo dragon on a leash and a parade full of marching bands!
Brooklyn Engagement Session with Melissa and Chris – Brooklyn Botanical Gardens and Brooklyn Bridge
A rainy day pushed the session a week back and heavy traffic nearly caused me not to get out to Brooklyn. But when I finally made it out to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, we had to work pretty fast to beat the closing time. Luckily, we were able to get enough in and dodge the [...]
Courtney and Matt – Ringwood State Park engagement session
Spring time is a great time for an engagement session in New Jersey. Ringwood State Park is perfect this time of year with a variety of colors, landscapes and backgrounds. I headed up there recently with Matt and Courtney for their engagement session. I’m looking forward to their November wedding at the Palace at Somerset [...]
Engagement Photo of the Day – A stroll through the woods
Last year, I photographed Amanda and Will’s engagement session at Ringwood State Park. I was really happy with the way it turned out! The engagement session was right around the time that I had started submitting to a stock photography agency, iStockPhoto. I finally got some time to focus on submitting more to iStockphoto and [...]
Dan & Jeanine – A themed portrait shoot – Bergen County, NJ
You might have seen the previous post with Dan and Jeanine’s engagement session. They requested a Superman/Lois Lane look for the end of the session, but we did not get to it. So they came out to the studio recently to capture the photos. WOW! They pull off the Superman and Lois Lane look perfectly! [...]
Marisa & Todd – New York City Engagement Session
I always let clients choose where they would like to do their engagement session. For Marisa and Todd, we headed into NYC! We began the session in Central Park. Between quiet park sections, hints of ‘the city’ and some romantic spots, it is one of the best locations for engagement photographs. After walking around the [...]
Kelly & Scott – Hoboken, NJ Engagement Session
It does seem lately by the blog that the go to place for engagement sessions is Hoboken, NJ! Hoboken is such an easy place to photograph in because you get a variety of amazing locations in one small and walkable area. That and my clients live there!
Jeanine & Dan – Hoboken Engagement Session
Jeanine and Dan were both recommended to me by past clients, which is great for me as they know my work. Both of them have great ideas about their wedding portraits, but they also had some great ideas for me to run with for the engagement session. Hoboken was a perfect place for the engagement [...]
Gina & Ryan – Ringwood State Park – New Jersey Engagement Session
Fall here in northern New Jersey is beautiful. From September to early November, the color of the leaves on the trees are stunning. Ringwood State Park is great to visit anytime of year, but add the colors of the fall and it is a perfect place for a engagement session in New Jersey.
Elyssa & Tom – Longwood Gardens engagement session
I met up with Elyssa and Tom at the beautiful Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. It was the perfect choice for an engagment session. Although I went to college nearby, at West Chester University, I never visited the gardens. What a mistake! The weather was perfect and it is an amazing place for not [...]
Dawnmarie and Joe’s engagement session
Dawnmarie and Joe stopped by the studio recently to finally meet each other, talk about their September wedding and have a little enagement session. Despite some hot and humid weather, we had fun at Lambert’s Castle. I’m looking forward to their wedding this month!
Beth & Matt’s engagement session in Hoboken, NJ
We had so many rainouts for my engagement session with Beth and Matt, that I thought we were going to have a double header on their wedding day (engagement session and wedding). But the wait was worth it as we had a great day in Hoboken for the session.
Toni & Tom’s Engagement session
Sandy Hook or Gateway National Recreation Area is a great place for an engagement session. You have the water and beaches, rock formations, bridges and plenty of other interesting areas from the parks history. So it was a perfect location for Toni and Tom’s session. Looking forward to your wedding next month!
Angelica & Mark’s engagement session
For Mark and Angelica’s engagement session, we met up at Verona Park. Despite all the rain we had last week, we were lucky to get a a break in the weather during the morning. And since the park is so big, all the 5K runners did not bother us at all, aside from making me [...]
Jehda & Ken’s engagement session
Last Friday, I headed up to Ringwood State Park for Jehda and Ken’s engagement session. It was my first time meeting them and we had a lot of fun, had perfect weather and got some amazing photographs. Here’s to hoping they will consider using me for their destination wedding next year!
Amanda & Will’s Engagement session
April shower’s definitely was against me with Will and Amanda’s engagement session! We tried twice to get in the session but mother nature was not cooperating. Luckily, she gave us one of the best days for the session at Ringwood State Park. The park turned out to be the perfect choice for Will and Amanda. [...]
Engagment Session in the studio with Katherine & Brian
I first met Katherine and Brian at Karen & Cole’s wedding last year. They inquired about me photographing their wedding in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Unfortunately, I was already booked! But they loved my work so much they wanted me to do engagement photographs. We tried to do them in the fall, but [...]
Perla & Will’s Engagement Session
I headed down to West New York to meet Perla and Will. Ironically, West New York is in New Jersey. Strange! We had some amazing light and with NYC in the background, their 3 month old daughter, two dogs and great chemistry, the photographs came out great! I’m looking forward to your wedding next month!
Stephanie & Joe’s Engagement Session
Last month, I headed to Point Pleasant for Stephanie and Joe’s engagement session. It was one of those perfect summer nights. Not too hot but not too cool. Not a cloud in the sky. And AWESOME sun setting light! Also, you have to love it when you come across a flock of seagulls being fed [...]
Carolyn & Chris Engagement Session
It took us 3 weeks, from the initial scheduled shoot, to finally get to the engagement shoot for Carolyn and Chris. Rainy weather one Sunday and their understanding for me to cancel to help a fellow photographer, forced us to a 3rd Sunday. But the weather was perfect for a walk around downtown Hoboken and [...]
Rebecca & Will’s Engagement session
Hoboken was where I met Rebecca and Will for their engagement session. To say they did their homework is an understatement. They even did a trial ‘walk’ of where we would go. But man, did it pay off! Not only did I get to see parts of Hoboken that I haven’t been to, but we [...]
