[Engagement] Jasmine & Mike – NJ Botanical Garden

As I was preparing this post, it suddenly occurred to me exactly how long I’ve been an actual, professional photographer. As in, the first time I was like:”Wait, you want to pay me…to take your photo?” For inquiring minds, it’s been an exceptionally humbling and rewarding eight years, and we’ve absolutely savored every single moment of it. So what’s with the sudden trip down memory lane?  You see, Jasmine and Mike come from an extraordinarily long line of previous clients; so long in fact, I could probably connect the dots to some of our very early clients during our first year in business….from almost EIGHT YEARS AGO. For that, we are so, so incredibly grateful.

But anyhoo, where were we?

Ah yes – Jasmine & Mike (whose anniversary we’re celebrating at the time of this post – so Happy Anniversary!). Though they currently hang their hats in Queens, they were more than thrilled to join us in Jersey for their engagement session at the NJ Botanical Garden. We were still very early in the season, so we pretty much had the place to ourselves!
