Many congrats to Farah and Tarek!! I had the lovely pleasure of photographing their engagement party and an engagement photo session. Our engagement photo session had a few bumps with a fair amount of technology fails as we both got lost using our GPS! Nevertheless finally we rendezvous only 10 minutes after our start time, not too shabby! Farah & Tarek had picked this gorgeous park in Somerset, NJ, Colonial Park. It was my first trip there and I can certainly see why it was so popular! It would even rival my own hometown Holmdel Park. Anyway, you'll see how we lucked out in both location and weather! A photographer's dream come true. Let's first take a look at their engagement party where I share a few highlights:

Farah looks absolutely stunning in this mint green!

These decorations, cupcakes, and cake definitely deserve a little love. Such a great presentation! Cute little cookies as parting gifts for guests too!

Bring out that bling!~

Engagement party success! Loved this impromptu fist pump! Let's bring on the engagement photo session...

With no prompting from me Farah coordinated Tarek and herself. I love how it looks against all that beautiful green!

Snapped a few of these while they were walking, you got to love spring!

Thanks to some freakish weather, spring has been confused and many blooms were already gone. However, we found this awesome tree with red blooms. Love!

One of my favorites from the shoot and the teaser shot ;)

I spotted this great willow tree and bench on our way into the park and I knew I wanted to grab a few shots there.

Love all the blooms!

A great (and unexpected) find was this foot bridge hidden away on a path. A close second on my favorite list!

After some snooping around we found this great rustic door and stoop in the park.

... and even an old barn!

Wrapping things up, popping up that collar and putting on shades :)

Thanks so much Farah and Tarek! Best of luck on everything! :D That's a wrap folks!

Cheers!
