Adventurous couples are the best to photograph. Better yet, when you’re also friends with the couple (and have known them for quite a few years), things can get pretty risque risky on the day of 🙂 . We opted for a morning engagement session at the very last week of September, and met up at the beautiful Rutgers Gardens. This couple was tough enough to take the quarter mile hike into the forest in their sunday’s best, and were such great sports the entire time. On the return hike, we ventured off the path and found a great little nook to take photos by the river. We wrapped up our session at the main garden area, including a successful climb up a stunning + very Goliath-like tree. Congratulations once again to Theo + Esther, and I can’t wait to stand alongside you guys in your wedding celebration this December. -Jon

We’re super excited to share with you a collection of our favorite images from this past Saturday. After many months of anticipation, Spring has finally come.. and so has LJ and Phil’s long-awaited engagement session. We started at The College of New Jersey, their alma mater (or as their alumni brick puts it, the place they fell in love), ventured around the campus, and then continued at Washington Crossing Historic Park.
LJ and Phil are getting married in paradise this summer (Hawaii, to be exact), and we are so stoked to be a part of their wedding celebration.
To LJ + Phil: Thanks for being one of our very first fans… We hope you all enjoy these images!!

We were really excited when our friends Peter and Grace contacted us and asked us to do their engagement photos in Long Branch, NJ. It’s not often that we get to venture down to the shore for photos, so when we got their email, we were pretty pumped.
Together, we wandered along the boardwalk, visited a few key spots that they often frequented, and then led them off the beaten path for some really neat photos. Even with the fog blanketing most of the sky that day, we certainly used it to our advantage.
Curious to see more photos? Go ahead and visit our facebook page and see a whole lot more photos from their session. And yes, no engagement photos with Peter would be complete without Michael Jackson-related attire…
Peter and Grace: thank you once again for inviting us to the beach, and we can’t wait to photograph your wedding in the fall!

This past November, we met up with Rowais and Marti for their engagement photos. After days of research, we finally found a place in New Jersey that contained the two elements that they had requested be in their engagement photos: “greenery” and “the beach”… and what place more suitable than at a national park? We were equally surprised to find out that New Jersey had a national park, and best of all it was right along the jersey shore.
Although the weather was chilly and overcast, Marti and Rowais braved the cold with us to explore the wooded forests, venture down winding sandy pathways, and climb atop a few well-worn concrete (former) military structures to get some great photos. Here are a select few of our favorite images… Oh, and be sure to check out the very last image; no better way to end an engagement session than with a phenomenal ocean sunset.
To our friends Rowais and Marti: Congratulations once again and we look forward to your wedding this July.
