Hampton, New Jersey | The happiest holiday season, celebrating Dominique and Brian’s wedding day at The Farmhouse in Hunterdon County!

A Modern Winter Wedding at Halifax Hoboken
Hoboken, New Jersey | I have been extremely fortunate to photograph so many of Nicole and Ryan’s special moments, so being a part of their wedding day truly meant so much to me. I first met Nicole and Ryan when we lived in the same building in Jersey City, and our dogs would play together…
Fall Cross Estate Gardens Engagement
Bernardsville, New Jersey | This was my LAST engagement session of 2021! It’s crazy to believe that 35+ engagement sessions later I’m nearly done for the year — but still two more weddings left before ringing in 2022. Lucie and Jon first met when they were working together as teachers! As Lucie tells it,…
Fall Spring Lake Beach Divine Park Engagement
Spring Lake, New Jersey | My final Spring Lake engagement session of the year was truly the best of both (or rather, all 3) worlds — downtown, park, and beach!

Rustic-Chic Winter Wedding at 618 Restaurant
Freehold, New Jersey | Nicole and Brian had such a beautiful day for their wedding — exactly 10 years and a day after their first date! Although it was early December, the cold weather (and snow!) fortunately held off and these two were able to tie the knot alongside their closest friends and family at…
Fall Manayunk Philadelphia Engagement
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania | This engagement session was my first time shooting in Philly!

Like so many of my couples, Julia & JT are high…
Fall Princeton University Engagement
Princeton, New Jersey | Two sessions at Princeton in the past month and I can’t complain — it’s truly one of the most beautiful areas in the state! Not to mention, it’s a super meaningful place to this sweet couple, Brooke and Mike. These two had one of their first dates there, as well as…
Fall Central Park Engagement
New York, New York | I absolutely love when couples are down for a sunrise session, so when Colleen and Dylan agreed to an early morning in Central Park I couldn’t have been more excited! Is it an early wakeup call? Totally. But does it also give you basically private access to some of the…
Fall Princeton University Engagement
Princeton, New Jersey | So many of my couples find me online via Instagram, but Brianne and Scott were actually at a wedding that I shot in September! In fact, Scott was a groomsman, and he sent me an email when he and Brianne began planning their wedding. I was so excited when Brianne and…
Dreamy Oceanfront Hamptons Wedding at Oceanbleu
Westhampton Beach, New York | Where to even begin?! Hayley and Anthony’s Westhampton Beach wedding was truly the celebration of their dreams.

Spring Lake Beach Divine Park Engagement
Spring Lake, New Jersey | My last Spring Lake engagement session of the year (at least, I think!). I shot more this year in Spring Lake than any other location, but it’s one of my favorite places so I certainly can’t complain. And I had the best time working with Kaitlin and Chris! I’m so…

Spring Lake Beach Divine Park Engagement
Spring Lake, New Jersey | Sometimes rescheduling for inclement weather results in… well, the best weather EVER. Ali and Michael truly had the most incredible day for their engagement photos. We were originally supposed to have their session at the end of August, but that day turned out to be rainy so we had to…
West Village NYC Engagement
New York, New York | It was so much fun working with Christina and Tim again, this time in the West Village — and I say “this time” because the last time I saw them both, I was shooting their proposal in a snow-covered Central Park! While very different conditions, both sessions were so incredibly…
Boho-Inspired Wedding at Golf Club of Avon
Avon, Connecticut | It is truly one of the greatest honors when a fellow wedding industry creative wants YOU to capture their wedding.

Downtown Portsmouth New Hampshire Engagement
Portsmouth, New Hampshire | It is always SO much fun shooting a friend’s engagement session! I went to college with Delaney, but we actually met totally by chance before that. For many years of my teenage life I was OVERLY obsessed with Jesse McCartney — long story short, I was in some sort of Jesse…
Summer Skylands Manor Engagement
Ringwood, New Jersey | Sometimes rescheduling due to rain results in even more amazing photos! The forecast for Lauren and Todd’s engagement session was beautiful all week — until the day before!

Allaire State Park Engagement
Wall Township, New Jersey | I had so much fun with Jen and Andrew at their engagement session!

Allaire State Park was the perfect backdrop for these…
A Classic Summer Wedding at The Ryland Inn Coach House
Whitehouse Station, New Jersey | Chelsea and Matt are married — again! It was such an honor capturing not just one, but two of their wedding celebrations (see last year’s Hoboken waterfront elopement here). Their full wedding at the Ryland Inn this September was absolutely perfect — and after more postponements than I can honestly…
Stylish City Elopement at The Beekman Hotel
New York, New York | I am truly at a loss for words when it comes to this elopement. I knew it was going to be absolutely stunning, between this sweet, gorgeous couple and this epic venue but… I was not prepared for just how incredible it would be. Niki and Joe have been together…
Central Park Belvedere Castle Engagement
New York, New York | I’m so grateful to Hannah and Doug for helping me to explore Central Park outside of my usual shooting areas!

Rainy Central Park Engagement
New York, New York | I often have clients ask me, “Jill, what happens if it rains on the day of our engagement session?” And I usually say, “We will be checking the forecast in the days leading up, and if it looks iffy we will reschedule!” Well, when the forecast is back and forth…
Ramapo Reservation Engagement
Mahwah, New Jersey | I love shooting at new locations that I haven’t been before, and Jaclyn and Kevin sure showed me an amazing one!

Summer Cross Estate Gardens Engagement
Bernardsville, New Jersey | Ashley and Adam came all the way from Florida just for their engagement photos with me — cue all the emotions!

Woodland Park, New Jersey | It’s official, meet the new Mr. & Mrs. Gallagher! This day was SO many months (and years, actually!) in the making, and I couldn’t think of two people more deserving of such a special celebration — who I’m also lucky enough to call friends. I have known Gabby and Dan…
Summer Lavallette NJ Engagement
Lavallette, New Jersey | Nicole and Frank’s Lavallette engagement session was pure summertime magic!
