Melissa and Albert also chose an urban setting for their engagement session; so we met up in downtown Hoboken on a beautiful Sunday afternoon and explored a little of the area there, looking for colourful nooks.

Melissa and Albert, I look forward to photographing your wedding!

I caught up with Rinat and Howie for their engagement photo session on a beautiful bright day in a nearby park.  Our previous attempts at us getting together for their engagement portraits had rained out, but this time worked out just perfectly.

Rinat and Howie, see you soon at your wedding!

What I love about engagement sessions is how it allows the couple to relax in front of the camera and get into the swing of things .. so to speak.  And it was no different with Jill and Tom by the time we ended up at the red barn in James McFaul Park.

Jill and Tom, I look forward to your wedding.

Elaine and Mairaj’s photo session started at the beach with some romantic portraits, before moving up to something more energetic. Elaine and Mairaj really got into the swing of things by then.

On the way there however, I spotted some interesting graffiti on the side of a building, so after our shoot on the beach we headed back there for something colourful.

Elaine and Mairaj, thank you for being so great to work with. See you again in a few weeks.

Laura and Gareth wanted their engagement shoot down on the shore.  The early evening light was just beautiful, and while we had to work around the windy conditions, I’m very happy with the images from this session. 

Laura and Gareth, I look forward to your wedding later this month.
