New York, New York | Such a beautiful evening in Central Park with Kate and Sam! Central Park can often be full of tourists, runners, and cyclists and it’s sometimes challenging to shoot there at any time other than right after sunrise, but we got super lucky for Kate and Sam’s evening session. It was…

Sunrise Brooklyn Bridge NYC Engagement
New York, New York | One of my favorite places in the city to shoot is on the Brooklyn Bridge — however, it is also one of the craziest (and at times, scariest!) places to be at any time other than sunrise. There are so many people on bikes and tourists taking photos that shooting…
Sunrise Hoboken Waterfront Engagement
Hoboken, New Jersey | I absolutely love whenever my couples are up for a sunrise session! Although my brain isn’t always happy when it has to wake up before 6am, it’s so worth it for the empty streets and glowy light. We originally scheduled this session based around Matt’s work schedule, and but that morning…
Winter Hoboken Waterfront Proposal
Hoboken, New Jersey | Shooting a proposal is always special, but nothing compares to when it’s one of your best friends! I’ve known Katie since 6th grade, when we first met in science class and bonded over our mutual weirdness. Fast forward 17 years later and I’m shooting one of the most special moments of…
Winter Brooklyn Bridge Park Engagement
Brooklyn, New York | January sessions definitely aren’t for the faint of heart, but Katie and Matt totally killed it in the cold! These two first connected on Bumble (just like me and my own Matt ) — and funny enough they’re both originally from California, and even had some mutual friends, but didn’t meet…
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…
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…
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! Pretty much every time I shoot an engagement session in Central Park, I stick to the Bow Bridge and Bethesda Terrace areas. When Hannah and I first started chatting about…
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…
Hoboken Waterfront Engagement
Hoboken, New Jersey | Working with Kim and Marc was a dream! Even though it was in the high nineties while we were shooting, these two were total troopers and did an amazing job powering through the heat. I know in that kind of temperature the last thing you probably want to do is wrap…
Summer Downtown Hoboken Engagement
Hoboken, New Jersey | This engagement session was a LONG time coming — Nicole and Ryan first scheduled this for fall of 2020, but between rain reschedules and Ryan breaking his tooth the week before one of their scheduled dates, somehow it got pushed all the way out until June of 2021! I was SO…
Spring Brooklyn Bridge Park Engagement
New York, New York Working with Maddie and Devin was so special! I met these two in college (where they also met six and a half years ago!) and there is nothing I love more than a Bryan University love story. When Maddie reached out about shooting their engagement photos in NYC, I couldn’t have…
Snowy Central Park Proposal
New York, New York There are truly no words to describe how magical Tim’s proposal to Christina was! When Tim reached out to me explaining he was planning to propose to his girlfriend in Central Park, I couldn’t have been more excited. And, when a huge storm coated the city in a beautiful blanket of…
Uptown Hoboken Brownstone Engagement
Hoboken, New Jersey When Nicole reached out to me about taking holiday engagement photos before the end of the year, I couldn’t have been more excited! Sooo many of the uptown brownstones in Hoboken get SERIOUSLY decked out for the holidays, so I was all for soaking in the festiveness for a few more days…
Autumn Central Park NYC Engagement
New York, New York Shooting Bari and Joey’s engagement session was absolutely amazing! Not only did we get potentially THE most beautiful fall day in Central Park, but actually I went to high school with both of them so getting to be a part of this exciting time in their lives was all the more…
Brooklyn Bridge Park DUMBO Engagement
Brooklyn, New York Hannah and Tommy were an absolute blast to work with! We met up by the West Elm in Brooklyn Bridge Park (aka one of my favorite places ever) and Pebble Beach, and instantly it felt like we’d known each other forever. Which, in a way, we sort of did know each other…
Summer Brooklyn Bridge Park Proposal
Brooklyn, New York When Zac first reached out to me about planning his proposal to Natalie at Brooklyn Bridge Park, I was GAME. The view of the Manhattan skyline from the park is one of my favorite spots in the city, and I couldn’t imagine a more magical place to ask the love of your…
Summer Liberty State Park Engagement
Jersey City, New Jersey Kristin and Mike’s engagement story is definitely one for the books. I think this is seriously such a clever way to propose! “We got engaged in Hoboken, New Jersey. Mike planned the whole day months in advance. He texted me one day while I was staying late at work and said…
Winter Hoboken Waterfront Proposal
Hoboken, New Jersey I am so honored to have been able to capture Ryan’s sweet proposal to Nicole! I have known Ryan and Nicole for almost a year now, first meeting them as other “dog parents” in our building. Ryan reached out to me a few months ago to plan this moment, and I am…
Sunrise Brooklyn Bridge Engagement
Brooklyn, New York I have wanted to do an engagement session on the Brooklyn Bridge for so long, so Morgan and David made my dreams come true! They were total troupers, agreeing to my suggestion of a VERY early start at 7:00am to avoid tourists/bikers and get that good light. It was absolutely worthwhile! Morgan…
