CONGRATULATIONS!! You’re engaged and you can’t wait to share it with the world! An engagement session is a great way to document the beginning of your journey together, and you are looking for the best engagement photo locations in New Jersey to document and share your happy news!
If you can, choosing a spot that’s special to you like where you had your first date, or showcasing something you love doing together is a great idea. But if you’re still drawing a blank, here are some of the best engagement photo locations in New Jersey according to my couples!!
Best Engagement Photo Locations in New Jersey | Gardens
There are beautiful botanical gardens in New Jersey, and timing’s key to making the most of these spots! Aim to have your session in April or May when trees and flowers are blooming or fall when colors have peaked. Also, book your session on a weekday to avoid the crowds. These gardens are some of the best engagement photo locations in New Jersey because they’re stunning, which means they’re also popular so being flexible and scheduling your session on a Monday or Tuesday will make a huge difference!
Some of my couples’ favorite gardens are Sayen House & Gardens, The New Jersey Grounds for Sculpture and Historic Smithville Mansion.
