Nicole and Zach started off their engagement session in their apartment in Jersey City, to commemorate their first apartment together. In-home photo sessions are awesome because you can cozy up in your normal habitat. We took photos of them with their coffee mugs too since they are avid coffee drinkers. I love being able to capture these moments-in-time for my couples. It reflects their true lives and personalities, and they’ll be able to look back and remember how this time felt in their lives.

Then, after wandering around Jersey City for a bit, they threw on INCREDIBLE fancier outfits and we went to the waterfront.

Ever wonder where the best place in NYC is to get those classic NYC vibes for your engagement photo session? It might just Jersey City. Right across the Hudson River in New Jersey lies this little urban paradise, with a waterfront that has the BEST view of the NYC skyline.

At sunset, the whole city skyline lights up with golden hour sunlight, and it can’t be beat. It’s the best place in the NYC area to get these skyline views.
