Engagement Photography

"I love you because my heart told me to."

Jenna is, simply put, fabulous. She captured moments that I didn’t even know were happening. We are not great at taking photos, yet Jenna was a great guide to get us in the right pose that looked and felt natural. Without a doubt, hiring Jenna was a completely intelligent move and as we capture more moments throughout our lives, we know who our photographer will be. - Rachel

I believe in love and soulmates.

We come into each other’s lives for a reason, and I’m empowered to capture your reason through my photography. Through our work together, you'll be able to celebrate your love and this exciting time in your life together for years to come through your images. Remembering the start of a new journey together is the sweetest.

Jenna was such a great person and photographer to work with. She knew exactly how to position us for the picture and the right place to take them with the sunlight. Our engagement photos are truly amazing, and I can't wait for her to capture our big day. Jenna does not treat you as just a regular client—she treats you as family and makes sure she captures each and every moment to make the best memories. - Jillian

Why Do an Engagement Session?

An engagement photo shoot is the perfect opportunity to have fun in front of the camera before the big day. It is one of the only things you can physically do during your planning process! At first you may feel nervous being in front of the camera, but you will end your engagement photo shoot feeling energized and even more excited for your wedding day. I love having the time with my clients during their session for a zero pressure experience that will help me get to know their relationship better. You will get an intro to receiving direction and being guided into natural movements/poses. Not to mention, it's a great reason for a lot of hugs and kisses from your fiancé!

Frequently Asked Questions

I do not time my sessions but generally they run 60-90 minutes. Depending on location, we will meet about an hour and a half before sunset and shoot through golden hour and possibly the sunset if you're up for it! 

If you're already booked for your wedding with me and an engagement session was included into your collection, there is no added cost to you (unless the location calls for any travel expense). For non-wedding clients, an engagement session is $600 plus NJ tax.

You should above all be comfortable in your outfit choice. What you decide to wear will support the look you are going for (as much as the location will). It should also be a reflection of your style and who you are! Feel free to dress as you would if you were going out to a nice dinner, or for what suits your personalities. Here are a few tips for outfit inspiration:

Choose colors that coordinate and compliment. No need to "match" colors or tones. Think about using one or two base colors that you love and find coordinating tones. Various shades of one or two colors will look more interesting than both of you in the same outfit. Mix in a few pieces of neutral tones and you're all set!

Dress for the season. Keep color association in mind when planning your session wardrobe! For example, earth tones or deep/rich tones tend to make us think of the cooler months (burgundy, navy, olive green, mustard yellow). Bright or cheerful colors, such as blue, white, sage, pink, lavender, or teal, remind us of a warm summer day.

For a formal look, consider a flowy gown, fancy lace, suit jacket, or dress shirt.

Patterns and subtle prints are great. If one person wears a pattern or print, the other should wear more of a solid.

It would be best to avoid florescent colors, thin stripes, graphic designs, flip flops, sneakers, offensive wording, and wrinkles.

Eat something light before your session—you don't want to be starving during the 60-90 minutes! Coordinate outfit choices, and also consider having your hair and makeup professionally done as it photographs so nicely (this could be a great day for a trial with an artist). Don't be afraid to let me know if you want to include anything out of the norm in your session! Making me aware before will help with planning and timing. 

Of course! If you want a casual and dressy look or simply can't decide between outfits, we can set a stop time during the session for an outfit change. I would suggest limiting your outfits to one wardrobe change.

Of course! We will chat about your vision for the photographs, what you two enjoy doing together and a bit about what you enjoy. This will help narrow down our location choices that feel fitting to you.

YES! A new location always sparks inspiration and vision. I have traveled to Lake Tahoe, Napa Valley, Las Vegas, Baltimore and New York for sessions. I've even taken a couple's photos in Mexico. If you have a love for travel, even if it is a destination outside of an hour from zip code 08094, we can absolutely include that into your experience. Please reach out for any destination session information.

Yes, you can place orders directly through your gallery link or just send me a message for what you're interested in. The options are endless. If you're interested in any size prints or products that are not listed, feel free to ask about it! Large canvases and album orders are the most popular products designed from sessions and weddings.

I keep an eye on the forecast a few days prior (not weeks, as it changes so quickly). If the forecast is challenging, we will make the call together the morning of your session date. If the forecast calls for rain more than a mist, we can reschedule. If the day is overcast, we will keep the date. Overcast days are great for photos, and I am able to add warmth with lighting and editing if needed. If you have a hair and makeup appointment scheduled and need 24 hours notice to postpone with your artist, we can make the decision 24 hours prior to the session.

You can expect to receive your gallery link with a PIN to download your images within two weeks from your session date.

You will see a logo on the images within the gallery for social media sharing purposes, but once downloaded they will not appear!

It is always preferred and appreciated if you share or post your images online to please credit Jenna Lynn Photography. Thank you!

Jenna is the BEST! We couldn't have been happier with the decision of hiring her as our photographer! From our engagement photos to our wedding day photography, she was professional, kind, fun, non-intrusive, and any other fantastic positive adjective you can think of. The pictures we've seen so far are nothing less than phenomenal. Thank you so much for capturing our memories! - Ricardo
