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:
Christa and Nick - their wedding is fast approaching at The Stone House at Stirling Ridge!

Elizabeth & John’s Engagement Session
Weehawken Waterfront Recreation Park, Weehawken, NJ
We say it all the time, but it begs repeating…. Every engagement session ends up being a very different experience. Every couple has different chemistry. Every day has different weather and different lighting conditions. And even within the confines of a familiar park, we are constantly finding new places, new angles and new ideas.
We had a blast with Elizabeth and John visiting some of our “usual” spots - shooting by the NYC skyline, walking along the Hudson River, sitting on benches, and so on… but we loved being creative with these two. Getting romantic on the track and conquering the soccer field was a definite score!
Can’t wait to celebrate with these two in August at the Ritz Carlton!

Rachel & Charles’ E-Session
Fort Lee Historic Park, Fort Lee, New Jersey
After some discussion, we decided to take Rachel and Charles to a secluded lookout point for their engagement session. The spot is literally hidden down a trail in the middle of the woods, but the view is totally worth it. And while they couldn’t take their eyes off the George Washington Bridge and the NYC Skyline, we couldn’t take our lenses off of them!
I’ve known Charles my whole life. In fact, when I was little, I used to think he was my cousin! It was awesome to reconnect, and equally amazing to get to know Rachel (and see how happy she makes him) as well.
We can’t wait to celebrate with these two next August at Meadow Wood Manor!
Love this silhouette by the George Washington Bridge.
Best photos have personality!
Classic fall photo in the leaves.

Karen & Lance’s Engagement Session
The Boat Basin, Englewood, New Jersey
Karen and Lance are laid back. We attribute this to California. You see… While their wedding is east coast all the way, these two have it right living in sunny CA (and by the beach no less). So while we were running around like crazy snapping pics, these two were really rather chill. Man do we need to get out to the West Coast! 
We can’t wait to get them in front of our lenses again in October - next stop, their wedding at The Graycliff!

MaryAnna & George’s Engagement Session
Allison Park, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey
When possible, we like to schedule our engagement sessions for the hour or two leading up to sunset as the light tends to be the softest. Scheduling at this time of day has its perks - pretty light, cooler temperatures during summer months, warm colored skies, less crowded parks… but it also means that if the session starts late for any reason, we’re fighting the clock to take advantage of whatever light we have left. Unfortunately, MaryAnna and George got stuck in heavy traffic and by the time they arrived, Steven and I were concerned that we wouldn’t have much time to capture any real romance.
With sunset approaching, we scraped our original plans and headed to the closest park we knew, Allison Park. We made one quick detour on the way stopping at the Park’s underpass approach, but I’d summerize our journey as a bee line. But, voila, a session emerged! MaryAnna and George rocked it.
Enjoy a sneak peak of their engagement photos. If we get this much attitude out of a half session, we can’t wait until their wedding at the Manhattan Penthouse on 5th Ave in the coming weeks!

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!)
