Cross Estate Gardens in Bernardsville, is one of my favorite engagement session locations in New Jersey. It is like our own private secret garden and the best part is that you don’t need a permit to shoot there!

I met Cathy and Jeff there just before sunset a few weeks ago for their engagement photos. They are actually getting married right up the street at the Olde Mill Inn next October!

Cathy looked gorgeous. She and Jeff decided to wear two outfits- one dressier, and one more casual outfit. She also had her hair and make up trial with Katie Bay Beauty right before our session so she was camera ready! I love how Katie kept her make up light and natural so we could still see Cathy’s adorable freckles <3

I even recently featured Cathy’s engagement ring box on my rustic ring box round up. Have you seen it? Its so dreamy. If not, no worries- you will see them here!

Cross Estate Gardens is the perfect location for rustic brides! I love the old, stone house, the water tower, the stone steps and of course the covered pergola is always a favorite! Scroll down to see these spots and more!
