Merytel and Victoria met while working at the Chili’s in Ramsey, NJ. They were both servers. One day Victoria had come up from TCNJ to work the weekend. It was a Friday night and it was very busy. She was so stressed because she didn’t know how to use the computer system and Merytel stepped in to help and told her “I don’t know if anyone has told you this, but you’re doing a great job”. After that, we slowly became work friends and as time progressed so did feelings!

One of their favorite memories would be their mini-anniversary staycation! For their anniversary they spent the weekend in Hoboken! They went to dinner at Chart House and had the best steak ever. Then they stayed at the most beautiful hotel with a view of the NYC skyline. In the morning Merytel and Victoria went to the cutest French cafe for brunch. The day ended with strolls around Hoboken, going to a record store, getting Insomnia Cookies to eat as they cuddled up for the night.

I love that they chose to do a casual, fun look and then spiced it up with matching black gowns.

We shot their engagement photos at the beautiful Ringwood Botanical Gardens.
