While working beside New York and New Jersey bridal clients, it is always my goal and best intention to design a romantic engagement session that best compliments the clients wedding and provides a great introduction to the wedding day. Engagement session photographs (will most likely) be printed and utilized for Save the Dates. With that being said and while planning your session and all session details, you want to think about the vision of your day and creating that chic, jaw-dropping and romantic engagement session for you and your fiancé.
Styling is key while coming to sessions. It is essential to first create a ‘vision board’ together and once you have a vision finalized, then move forward with nailing down the details.
Once your engagement session vision is accomplished, execute on the first big step, choosing your dream engagement session venue! Whether this be at a (what may seem like) a public location or private, it’s always best to inquire with the venue and while photograph at their property to see if a permit fee is required to photograph at their property for the time planned. If a permit fee is required, applications are required to be completed month(s) prior to the session.
If your vision includes talent such as outfit changes and accessories, which may include on-location styling, hair, makeup, furniture rentals (example: champagne tower and glasses), vehicles (antique vehicles), or furniture, it would be ideal to then inquire with vendors one at a time and book your vendors for your session.
Yes, you read that correctly! Invite a friend to your New Jersey engagement session. Request for a family member and/or friend to assist the day of the session. Like the wedding day sessions move pretty fast, especially if there are several locations. I recommend to request for your maid-of-honor (or bestie) to tag along, take some behind the scenes for your social media, assist with carrying your bag, and can assist with any additional details, like possibly care for your pup if you plan on incorporating your fur baby!

Amy and Nick’s romantic sunrise engagement session was set at the gorgeous Cross Estate Gardens in Bernardsville, New Jersey and in downtown Morristown, New Jersey.
The Cross Estate Gardens was the picture-perfect location for this engagement session. A nod to their romantic, garden wedding to be hosted at the Woolverton Inn, the couple opted for this a stunning, sunrise garden session. As the sun rose, butterflies surrounded our session in the historic and elegant gardens at Cross Estate. How romantic!
Our second look included a more casual affair with a nod to a ‘day in the life.’ In celebration of the couple’s proposal we captured a few images in the comfort of their own home. Right where Nick proposed. We captured their AM routine alongside adorable puppy and a cup of Joe at SmartWorld Coffee.
I cannot wait to meet these two again in October for their very special day at the Woolverton Inn located in Stockton, New Jersey. It is going to be such a special day!
