I’ve found one of my new favorite NJ engagement locations! Cross Estate Gardens in Bernardsville, NJ is truly a hidden gem and a place I’ll be recommending to couples for years to come. It’s situated in a quiet, hilly area of New Jersey and is managed by New Jersey Historical Garden Foundation. Everything about this location is charming and SO beautiful! I was super excited for Danielle and James’ Cross Estate Gardens engagement photos and they didn’t disappoint one bit.
After a few rain reschedules, we finally had a good spring day for their session! Everything was in full bloom and we had stunning golden light toward the end. Danielle and James are getting married in the fall in Colorado! They knew a destination wedding was exactly what they wanted, but wanted engagement photos in the state they call home. Danielle actually recommended this location tom e and I’m SO glad she did! It feels like a secret garden tucked away in North Jersey.
Can you believe they thought they would be awkward? I hear it all the time and it’s never true! They look abnsolutely amazing and are so playful with each other. I really have the best couples ever, they make my job so amazing! I can’t wait to see their wedding photosn and cheer them on from the Garden State! Enjoy some favorite from their Cross Estate Gardens engagement session!
