Keri and Mike chose the beautiful location, Cross Estate Gardens in Bernardsville NJ for their engagement photos. Yes, her name is Keri and she spells it exactly the same way that I do. To make this story even crazier, we are both from the same small town, New Providence!
Central Park, in the heart of New York City, is an iconic location for photos of all kinds! I’ve photographed weddings, engagement sessions and even family photos here. It is almost unbelievable that there is an 800 acre park in the concrete jungle of NYC but it is true! Central Park is really large and there is definitely strategy involved in getting the photos you have always dreamed of. From knowing the best time to shoot, to figuring out the best places to shoot and how to get to them you will definitely need a plan before you go. This blog post will help whether you are a photographer looking to schedule a shoot there for the first time, a mom looking to get some great photos of your family on your first trip to the big apple or even if you are a tourist or local looking for the best instagram spots in the park, I’ve got you covered there too!
Today, I am sharing with you some of my favorite locations in the New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania area for your garden engagement photos. There are so many great places to shoot in the New York metro area, but being that New Jersey’s nickname is the garden state, it makes sense that there are tons of wonderful garden locations here.
Jess and Chris chose the gorgeous Ringwood Manor in Ringwood NJ for their engagement session this past week and I am so glad they did! Also known as the New Jersey Botanical Garden located in Ringwood State Park, this location is probably my favorite for your New Jersey engagement photos. The Skylands Botanical garden is truly one of the most beautiful places for your engagement photo session and of course they do weddings too! You do need a special use permit to shoot in this location, but I secure one every year for my clients because I love this location so much! It is such a glamorous setting and even though it is at the tippy top of New Jersey (super closer to New York)- it is SO worth the trip! You can get your own permit to shoot here by contacting the Ringwood Manor office. If you need more guidance on this, please feel free to shoot me an email! I am happy to help!
I had so much fun with Amy and Steve during their engagement session. They chose the perfect location- Divine Park in Spring Lake, New Jersey for their engagement photos. I love this spot because its like having two locations in one! First, we started at Divine Park, then just before sunset we drove down the street for some glowy beach photos.
Danielle and Joe chose Hacklebarney Farm in Chester, NJ for their engagement. photos.
This is one of my favorite engagement sessions of all time. It also happened to be the hottest day of the year on Long Island but it was totally worth it!
Isabella and Peter celebrated their engagement with photos in Spring Lake, NJ. We started in Divine Park, then headed down the the beach at sunset.
Dana and Mario chose Asbury Park for their engagement photos.
Nicole and Paul’s original wedding date was back in April. When their wedding got cancelled due to covid, just 3 weeks before the wedding we decided to do engagement photos to bring some of the fun back into wedding planning. Nicole knew she wanted a fall engagement session so last November we met at Allaire State Park in Wall, New Jersey to get the most perfect fall engagement photos.
