Ringwood Manor Engagement Photos

Jess and Chris chose the gorgeous Ringwood Manor in Ringwood NJ for their engagement session this past week and I am so glad they did! Also known as the New Jersey Botanical Garden located in Ringwood State Park, this location is probably my favorite for your New Jersey engagement photos. The Skylands Botanical garden is truly one of the most beautiful places for your engagement photo session and of course they do weddings too! You do need a special use permit to shoot in this location, but I secure one every year for my clients because I love this location so much! It is such a glamorous setting and even though it is at the tippy top of New Jersey (super closer to New York)- it is SO worth the trip! You can get your own permit to shoot here by contacting the Ringwood Manor office. If you need more guidance on this, please feel free to shoot me an email! I am happy to help!

40 Thoughtful Wedding Gift Ideas for Your Sister

If you are looking for the perfect wedding gift for your sister, look no further. I photograph a lot of weddings and bridal showers, so I have seen it all in the gift giving department!

As the sister of the bride, you will have lots of opportunities to give the perfect gift between the engagement party, bridal shower, bachelorette party and of course the big day. Choosing a unique gift can be difficult for someone you’ve known for such a long time! If your sister is also your best friend, you may feel even more added pressure to come up with a truly thoughtful gift, as opposed to giving money. Personally, I do feel that my bride’s favorite gifts- the ones that truly make an impact are personalized in some way. I mean, anyone can give her a coffee maker, right? But try not to stress. Sometimes simple gifts make the best wedding gifts.

Best Natural Engagement Photo Poses & Ideas

I love photographing engagement sessions! An engagement photo shoot is a great way to get to know your couple before photographing the wedding day. Having an engagement session with your couple before the big day is the best way I have found to get them feeling confident and looking natural in their wedding photos. Basically, it’s great practice for the wedding day for both you, the photographer and the couple!

I had so much fun with Amy and Steve during their engagement session. They chose the perfect location- Divine Park in Spring Lake, New Jersey for their engagement photos. I love this spot because its like having two locations in one! First, we started at Divine Park, then just before sunset we drove down the street for some glowy beach photos.

Nanina’s in the Park Wedding

Jennifer and Will are one of my covid couples who had to postpone their wedding 3 times. Luckily the 3rd time was the charm and despite having to get married on a Monday, they ended up having a beautiful wedding that was worth the wait.
