Carol & Ramon’s Engagement Session
Recreation Center, Weehawken, New Jersey

When Carol and Ramon said they wanted a skyline view, we immediately thought of the new Recreation Center Park on the Weehawken Waterfront.  We like this particular park because it’s different, less about the green space and more about the athletic fields and Hudson River views.  We had fun with Carol and Ramon exploring the path along the water, leaning on railings, climbing on benches, and goofing around in general - but we especially love the series with tug boat.  Enjoy their sneak preview.

We can’t wait until their June Wedding at Seasons Catering (yum!)

Portrait Shoot - Cast Photos, TLC:  Cake Boss
Carlo’s Bakery, Hoboken, New Jersey

We returned to our favorite spot on Washington Street for a second day of photography - although this time at Carlo’s Bakery, our focus was the people, not the pastries!  If you missed all the sweet treats the first time around, just scroll down a few posts for part 1 of our Carlo’s Bakery Photo Session or click here:  product shoot.

In addition to individual head shots, we also snapped some group portraits.  I love the attitude in the “cast photos” below.

Set your Tivo/DVR to watch the family in action.  Cake Boss - TLC - Sundays at 10/9 C.

We keep getting more and more excited for our wedding cake!  Two weeks and counting!!

Jessica & Mike’s Engagement Session
The Ross Docks, Englewood, New Jersey

Our first engagement session of the new year and well… it was COLD.  The goal of any session is to get to know our couple better and let them find their comfort zone in front of the camera.  However, the strong winds and blustery air were definitely not working in our favor!  All that said, Jessica & Mike were real troopers - smiling on the outside, while shivering on the inside!

We can’t wait to celebrate their wedding with them in (a much warmer) July at the Hyatt Morristown!
