Chrissy and Bill are engaged! Military meets Finance, falls in loves and never wants to leave this girl :). Both fun, passionate and loving, Chrissy and Bill are simply are perfect couple to get married! And I, being a New Jersey wedding photographer,  am extremely excited to be a part of their wedding that will take place in Sterling Ballroom. But for now, I must share their engagement photos that we captured in Lambertville, NJ.

See, Chrissy grew up in Lambertville and those few spot that you are going to see in the photo are very dear to her heart. You know how childhood memories make everything so much better. However, I didn’t even to have childhood memories in Lambertville to fall in love with this little town! Cozy, clean and full of life, Lambertville offered us a perfect weather with the most perfect sunset for engagement photos for Chrissy and Billy! Check them out!

We have started off very close to Lambertville Station Inn – the cutest restaurant right next to the old train tracks. It gave the whole place such a warm and welcoming vibe! And Lambertville Station Inn actually holds weddings too so if you are ever getting married there, let me know ;). I kind of fell in love with Lambertville! And let me stop talking and show you off some lovely lovies!

There were so many bicyclists that we even got some in their engagement photos. But I feel like that interruption enhanced the photo and made it slightly more dynamic and fun :).Sterling Ballroom Wedding by by Philly Wedding PhotographerBradford Estate Wedding by Philly Wedding PhotographersLambertville Engagement Session by South Jersey Wedding PhotographerSterling Ballroom Wedding by South Jersey Wedding PhotographerBradford Estate Wedding by Philadelphia Wedding PhotographersAnd because Billy is serving in the military, Chrissy really wanted to incorporate an American flag into the photoshoot in some way. They wanted a photo of them kissing behind the flag but it was a little too windy, so the flag started flying up. I actually love this photo than their original idea! NJ backyard Wedding by Philly Wedding PhotographerAnd here is the result of the photo that they wanted – a backlit kiss behind the American flag. Pretty good too :).NJ backyard Wedding by South Jersey Wedding PhotographerNJ backyard Wedding by Philadelphia Wedding PhotographersBradford Estate Wedding Photos by Philly Wedding PhotographerAnd then we left downtown Lambertville and headed to Goat Hill Overlook – an amazing nature spot with huge trees and astonishing view!NJ backyard Wedding by Philadelphia Wedding PhotographerLambertville Engagement Session by Philly Wedding PhotographersOne of the trees just fell down probably because of the recent rain storm. Well, it made a perfect spot for some cute engagement photos. I made Chrissy and Billy sit on it and enjoy each other :).
