Bernardsville, New Jersey | The perfect summer evening for a garden engagement session!

These two met when they were just…

Bernardsville, New Jersey | The whole drive to Nicole and John’s engagement session, the sky was full of ominous, black clouds.

Bernardsville, New Jersey | My second time at Cross Estate Gardens in three days — but no complaints here!

Bernardsville, New Jersey | When I say I am obsessed with this engagement session, I mean it!

However, we slightly missed the window for peak bloom and decided to pivot and shoot at Cross Estate Gardens instead…

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.

Bernardsville, New Jersey | Ashley and Adam came all the way from Florida just for their engagement photos with me — cue all the emotions!⁠⁠ I have known Ashley for so many years that I have truly lost track at this point.

Bernardsville, New Jersey I had so much fun working with Margaret and Richard, and I can’t wait to photograph their May 1st wedding!
