Watchung Reservation, Fall Engagement Photos- Berkeley Heights, NJ

Chelsae and Nick’s engagement session at Watchung Reservation in Berkeley Heights, NJ, was nothing short of fun, quirky, and full of laughter—just like them! They wanted a location that reflected their personality, something with a little character and a unique edge, and this spot couldn’t have been more perfect. With its deep history and feature on Weird New Jersey, Watchung Reservation isn’t your typical pristine engagement session backdrop, but that’s exactly what made it such a great fit. The combination of its natural beauty and offbeat charm created the perfect setting for this adventurous, lighthearted couple.

From the very start, Chelsae and Nick’s energy was infectious. They are the kind of couple that loves to be silly together, constantly cracking jokes and sharing genuine, carefree moments. Their session was filled with playfulness, spontaneous laughter, and little inside jokes that made for the most natural photos. Adding to the fun was their sweet dog, Marshmellow, who made an adorable guest appearance. He’s an older pup, so after a few shots, he got to take a well-deserved break while we continued exploring the different areas of the reservation.

November graced us with a beautiful fall setting—rich golden leaves, the stillness of the lake, and the secluded feel of being deep in the woods. It felt like our own private escape, giving Chelsae and Nick the perfect space to just be themselves and soak in the moment. The warmth of the autumn colors complemented their vibrant personalities, creating a session that was not just visually stunning but also so authentically them.

Chelsae and Nick, it was such a joy capturing your love in a way that truly reflects who you are as a couple. Wishing you the most incredible wedding and a lifetime filled with love, laughter, and plenty of adventures with Marshmellow by your side! Congratulations!
