Double Engagement Session
Weehawken Recreation Center, Weehawken, New Jersey

We recently did back-to-back engagement sessions at the Recreation Center in Weehawken, NJ.  We thought it would be fun to blog a sneak peak from both sessions together.  Yes, we used a lot of the same spaces and places, but every couple has their own unique energy.  Enjoy!

First up, Lorianne and Dan - can’t wait to celebrate with these two on New Year’s Eve at the Graycliff:

Anastasia and Scott’s Wedding
The Pines Minor, Edison, New Jersey

We knew after Anastasia and Scott’s amazing engagement session at the Hoboken’s Lackawanna Train Station that these two were going to be a blast on their wedding day, and well… they were.  Start to finish the were high energy, tons of fun and loads of laughs.

Bridal prep.  Love this shot of Anastasia’ Shoe.  To create the backdrop, we used one of their couch cushions and an abstract painting.  Fun, right?
