valerie & matt : engagement session

Matt and Valerie are engaged :O) We are so happy for the two of them!! I was so excited when Matt, my brother-in-law, asked me to do their engagement session... Valerie is super sweet and fun-loving, while Matt has a vibrant, adventuresome personality. They are a perfect match! We had a fun day walking around their neighborhood in Jersey City, grabbing some shots at the old Dixon Mills pencil factory, the historic Jersey City residential district, and Van Vorst Park. Congratulations, guys! We can't wait for the wedding in March!!

Valerie doesn't like jumping shots, but that didn't stop Matt:

:O)

This is how Matt proposed to Valerie.. Isn't that such a cute idea!

What troopers! These two were totally getting rained upon and sitting on wet pavement for these next few shots. Couldn't resist the colorful backdrop!
