Becky + Cory // Engaged

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!!! 

Jessica + John // Hoboken Engagement Session

Paul and I had the BEST time with Jessica and John when we met up with them in Hoboken for their engagement session. They live in Hoboken so they are super familiar with the area which was great since Paul and I are such newbies to the area. 

Their wedding is at the Thayer Hotel at West Point next July and I am so excited about it because the Thayer is simply amazing. I loved shooting there this past summer, so when Jessica inquired and mentioned that's where they were getting married, I think I did a bit of a happy dance while sitting at my desk! 

Jessica and John met playing Zogs football and then realized that they were essentially next door neighbors! In Jessica's words, "he courted me hard core"...which I LOVE!! 

They were total naturals in front of the camera and we explored all around Pier A and then walked up into the streets to find some cobblestone and other interesting spots before we headed back down to get a few shots of the amazing NYC skyline. I probably could have photographed them for hours. So pumped for their July 2017 wedding! 

Enjoy some of my favorites below!
