After more than 500 proposals photographed across Northern New Jersey and New York City over the past 30-plus years, I’ve noticed the same pattern again and again. The couples who walk away with a story they treasure forever aren’t the ones with the biggest budget or the most elaborate setup. They’re the ones who sidestepped […]

Multiple ceremonies, multiple outfit changes, and […]
