Romance, Rain Showers & a Golden Retriever Guest Appearance

Corinne and Tommy’s engagement session at Born to Run Farm in Glen Gardner, NJ was one of those evenings that just felt magical from start to finish. Set on a tucked-away farm with sweeping mountain views and open skies, the whole place provided a peaceful, romantic backdrop. The session started with a sun shower, it was surreal to see the rain be illuminated by the golden hour sun!! On a hot summer evening, the drizzle was more than welcome and played right into a scene from a classic rom-com.

And as if that wasn’t enough, a full rainbow appeared just after the rain passed, lighting up the entire horizon behind them. It was one of those once-in-a-lifetime moments that felt meant just for them.

Their engagement session was so them—laid-back, full of joy, and completely centered in nature. They were joined by their golden retriever, Maya, who happily zipped around the fields, living her best life and bringing big main-character energy to the session.

We explored the farm together, soaked in the dreamy light, and captured a blend of intimate, silly, and just plain joyful moments. The mix of mountain views, dramatic skies, and their playful energy made for some truly unforgettable photos.
