CONGRATULATIONS!! You’re engaged and you can’t wait to share it with the world. If you’re looking for great engagement photo locations in NJ, especially South Jersey, look no further than this list of 15 of my couples’ favorite spots! From gorgeous gardens & cute towns to the beaches & shore, New Jersey has it all!
Quick tip: Choose a location that’s special to you, like where you had your first date or got engaged. Or incorporate something you love to do together, like going for a hike or hanging out at the shore.
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.
Best Time of Year: April / May / October
Best Days & Time: Weekday evenings, 1-2 hours before sunset to avoid the crowds and for the best natural light
Wardrobe Tips: Avoid green & brown so you don’t blend into the trees!
