30 Engagement Photo Locations around Central New Jersey

"Engagement season" denotes the popular season between the December holidays and Valentine's Day. If you or someone you know received a ring this year, your next step after finding your venue and date might be taking your engagement photos. Engagement photos help you build a relationship with your photographer, get you and your future spouse comfortable in front of the camera before the big day, and give you beautiful portraits to use on save-the-dates, your wedding website, as gifts or in frames around your home.
