A sunny afternoon in March at Hunters Point, Long Island City was the perfect setting for this surprise proposal! John had planned the whole thing and even had cover stories to keep the secret. As far as Alex knew they were going to brunch with their friends and had to take the ferry to get there.

This was a windy and chilly engagement session in Tarrytown, NY! We started at the Scenic Hudson RiverWalk Park at Tarrytown getting a variety of photos with Caroline, Matt and their son Kian! These two are so chill and the session was effortlessly perfect – from the casual and cute walking to the most gorgeous photos of them just looking at each other so lovingly!

This was an engagement session in February at a few locations in Asbury Park, NJ. Beginning at the Berkley Ocean Front Hotel, the large arched windows and checkered marble floor made for a great background. The hotel photos are mixture of romantic and playful, from sitting on the stairs to running down the hallway. Lia and Jarrad are from Rhode Island (aka the Ocean State) so I wanted to tie that in a bit through having photos walking along the beach. One of my favorite ways to make an engagement session unique is to do things the couple love-that’s why we went to Silverball Retro Arcade, played a few games

Haley and Michael’s winter Verona Park, NJ engagement session was worth the chill! They both love winter and we got lucky with having snow on the ground. These two fully embraced the engagement session and had so much fun chatting, playing in the snow and just enjoying their time together. I loved getting to know these two better during the session and it cracked me up that they are the same way about animals as I am… aka will point out any animal they see!! In fast we even saw a hawk which was very cool and Haley loved all the geese walking around. Looking forward to their 2025 winter wonderland wedding but in the mean time scroll through these photos and keep reading about their starry night proposal below.

Mariana and Johns engagement session took place at the stunning marble ‘temple of music’ and Japanese garden at Roger Williams Park in Providence, RI. They came over bubbly and smiling-the session was instantly comfortable as we started. They danced, twirled and were playful together before getting some editorial photos on the steps and pillars of the temple.

Sam and Ed’s Fall Garret Mountain engagement session in Woodland Park, NJ was the perfect, slow paced session. We walked around to different points of the location while chatting and getting to know each other. They chose this location for their engagement session because Garret Mountain is where they had their first date – a full circle moment!

Raquel and Tucker’s fall engagement session at the Skylands Manor, Ringwood, NJ. The air was cool, the leaves were an array of colors as we romanticized life while they explored the estate, sat in the patio, and practiced the perfect dip! My favorite part of the session was handing over one of my cameras to the pair to take photos of each other – this is when I saw them loosen up, strut their stuff and really shine!

This Fall Sandy Hook Beach engagement session incorporated traditions, a special place and makes new memories for the couple! The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable, and the couple, Manuela and Frank, showcased their playful relationship. The beach holds significance for them as they have made it a tradition to visit Sandy Hook Beach every January.

Desiree and Matt’s engagement session was full of love and romance!! From holding hands, literally rolling around and playfulness to the intimate vibe at the hotel bar- I could’ve photographed these two all day!!. Beacon New York is a very cute town and within five minutes we could go from the gorgeous views at Long Branch Park to the classy vibes of The Roundhouse.

Sam and Jacob’s scenic New Jersey engagement session felt like a movie- they focused on each other with loving looks, laughter and kisses. They chose to have their engagement photos taken where they had their first date- a bench on the top of a hill at Round Valley Reservoir.
