Engagement Session at Reed Reeves Arboretum in Summit, NJ

I am so excited to share Lisa and Tylers engagement session with you today!! It has been unseasonably rainy in New Jersey this year and so our first scheduled session got rained out and the skies were not looking friendly on the rescheduled date either! It was actually pouring rain earlier in the day so Lisa, her mom and I were all frantically checking our weather apps all day because they promised a break later in the day and we were all hoping and praying that it would actually happen!

And guess what? It did!! After clouds all day the day before and all morning, right smack in the middle of our session the clouds parted and the sun started shining! It was an amazing answer to prayer and even though we were all pretty hot and sweaty from the humidity we were all so pleased with how the weather turned out for the session!

These two are getting married in December at Canoe Brook Country Club and so they wanted a gorgeous summery feeling for their engagement session and I am so glad we were able to get just that! Paul and I had a great time exploring the grounds of the arboretum with them and I am so pleased with how everything turned out. I am so excited for their Winter 2017 wedding!! Congrats you two!

Cross Estate Gardens Engagement Session

Ohhh friends! So excited to share this lovely engagement session with you today!! I'm telling you, even though the weather in New Jersey in May is kind of unpredictable, when it does work out...it seriously works out!! The day started off cloudy but by the time we all arrived at Cross Estates Gardens the weather was absolute perfection!! The temps were perfect and the sun peeked its head out behind the clouds at exactly the right times!!

When Becky contacted me earlier this year about their intimate at-home wedding in September I was super excited for a couple of reasons. 1) They don't live that far from me 2) They sounded like an absolutely awesome couple and those are of course, my all time favorites!!!

Paul and I met them at their home a while back and their property and home is GORGEOUS. I literally can not wait for their early September wedding. BUT first, the engagement photos!! I always love Cross Estate mostly because its a relatively small area, but there are sooooo many locations to shoot in that give you an awesome variety in a short distance. Its literally perfection.

Paul and I both had the best time with Becky & Cory. We laughed a ton and we both loved just how loving and respectful these two are of each other. Its very obvious how much they enjoy each other and want the best for each other and I just love that. They were such a pleasure to be around and I can't wait to meet their family and friends at the wedding!

Congrats Becky & Corey on your engagement!!

P.S....don't forget to check out the super fun double exposure about halfway down! SO fun!!!
