• NEW JERSEY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER •
Some love stories begin in unexpected places, but for Maria and Chris, it all started right at home. Last November, I had the honor of capturing their engagement session in the heart of Rutherford—where their journey first began. Every location we visited held a special piece of their history, making the session not just a photo shoot, but a walk down memory lane.
We began in their childhood neighborhood, strolling through the familiar streets where they grew up. There was something incredibly nostalgic about revisiting the places where their friendship first blossomed. The highlight? Stopping by the football field where Chris once played, with Maria cheering him on from the sidelines. Standing there together again, this time as an engaged couple, brought a beautiful sense of closure to one chapter and excitement for the next.
From there, we made our way to Lincoln Park in downtown Rutherford. The fall colors were in full bloom, painting the backdrop with warm hues of gold, amber, and crimson. Despite the autumn setting, the day felt more like summer—bright, joyful, and full of energy, mirroring the love between Maria and Chris. The sunlight filtered through the trees just right, casting a golden glow over every shot. It was one of those sessions where every moment felt effortless, as if the universe itself was celebrating their love.
Engagement sessions are always special, but there’s something uniquely magical about capturing a couple’s love story in the place where it all began. Maria and Chris’ journey has come full circle, from childhood friends to high school sweethearts to soon-to-be husband and wife.
I am beyond excited to photograph the next chapter of their love story this August.
Congratulations!
