Set the scene: A warm autumn evening at Deep Cut Gardens

Picture this: a crisp October afternoon, the air alive with the vibrant hues of autumn, and two lovebirds basking in the beauty of Deep Cut Gardens in Middletown, New Jersey. If there’s one thing I love more than capturing love stories, it’s doing it surrounded by nature’s finest masterpiece. And let me tell you, Deep Cut Gardens? It’s the kind of place that makes every love story shine just a little bit brighter. 🌿✨

Julie and Quinn brought their infectious laughter and natural chemistry to every moment of the shoot. It felt less like work and more like a fun adventure with friends! 🌟 And can we talk about their outfits? Julie’s velvet orange dress was an absolute showstopper, perfectly complementing her radiant personality.

Their Love Story
Julie and Quinn’s proposal story was such a fun one to read! Julie and Quinn started looking for rings, in Julie’s words, “even a bit prematurely.” So months after when they planned a trip for Quinn’s 30th birthday Julie had NO suspicion of a proposal. After carefully securing the ring and patiently biding his time, Quinn orchestrated the perfect moment during a Valentine’s Day/Birthday getaway in the Dominican Republic. Against the backdrop of a breathtaking sunset, he swept Julie off her feet with a heartfelt proposal, leaving her absolutely speechless (in the best possible way, of course!)
Fast forward to last October, and our dynamic duo found themselves amidst the blooms and blossoms of Deep Cut Gardens. Talk about a match made in floral heaven! From stolen glances amidst the roses to laughter-filled strolls along the garden paths, Julie and Quinn embraced every moment with genuine joy and infectious love. And can we talk about how effortlessly photogenic they are? Seriously, every shot was like something out of a fairy tale. 📸💑

Julie and Quinn
It was incredible and an absolute dream to work with you both! Your love story is as beautiful as the gardens that surrounded us, and I’m beyond grateful to have been a part of this special chapter in your lives. Congratulations on your engagement, and here’s to countless more adventures and love-filled moments as you journey towards your wedding day this October at the Madison Hotel. Though my associate Kayla will be there capturing the magic of your love, I will be celebrating in spirit!! <3
