Michelle + Jim - Hoboken Engagement Session, Bergen County Wedding Photographer

Michelle and Jim gave me a very surprising first for their New Jersey Engagement Session. Finally, three years after the start of Kristen Maus Photography, I was asked to shoot a session in Hoboken! Urban sessions provide so many of my favorite backdrops - cobblestone, brick, interesting architecture, and of course, the beautiful skyline.  Hoboken has such a great variety in such a small space that it gave us a great chance to explore some well-known areas as well as some undiscovered gems.  It’s always so much fun traipsing through a location on an adventure to find the perfect frame! 
As a Bergen County Wedding Photographer, I have the pleasure of photographing engagement sessions for many brides and grooms. I’m always on the lookout for a new location with good lighting and complimentary landscapes. Though an engagement session location can be delightfully simple, it can also be reminiscent of a sentimental moment, like your first date, or it can represent who you are as a couple. It’s a great way to express your coupling and commitment before your wedding day.   
During an engagement session, you can kick back, relax and get to know the rhythms of your photographer a little more. This will help prepare you for the wedding day portraits. The more relaxed you are around your photographer, the more pleased you’ll be with the final product. Think of the engagement session as a dress rehearsal where you get amazing photographs of you and your spouse-to-be in a location that’s beautiful, meaningful, or perhaps even both. 
A big thank you to Michelle and Jim for taking the time to discover all the great views that Hoboken has to offer, and of course for sharing this awesome time before your wedding with me!

Much Love,
Kristen
