Cross Estate Gardens, September Engagement Photos- Bernardsville, NJ

Melissa and Freddy’s love story started during their college experience at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, OH. They didn’t go on many dates as self proclaimed broke college kids, but they became great friends and knew they loved each other’s company. It grew into so much more from there!

You may remember their sweet proposal at the rose garden with the rose-shaped ring – gorgeous! We had to take the opportunity to document their engagement journey after getting that yes, so these images showcase that for this amazing couple!

I am so excited that I get to document so much of this couple’s story. They complement each other so perfectly. Although they may seem different in many ways because Freddy is a “do-er” and a scientist, and Melissa is a bit more of a dreamer and all about the “feels,” these differences complement each other well. They always help each other meet in the middle. I can see that they have the same core values, and once we peel all of this back, they are surprisingly similar and understand each other on a deep level.

Check out some of the images showcasing their love – and that stunning ring, of course! – from their engagement / family session below.
