Their Session: Central Park of Morris, NJ

This Central Park of Morris mentoring session was one for the books! Lex was such a sweetheart and so excited to not only learn a bit about posing and working with couples but also to hop in front of the camera! She brought her absolutely adorable doggo for some updated headshots before we jumped into our couples session!

Rachel and Ty were one of my incredible wedding couples who were more than willing to get back in front of my camera for this mentoring session! They not only have such a fun fashion sense, but their love is so special to photograph. This was the third time I got to take pictures of them, and it just keeps getting better and better! They’ve been through such an emotional and wild journey together, so seeing how their love continues to grow is so special!

We lucked out with such an epic sunset for their session, which was super fun to play with alongside Lex! She shot this sesh like a champ, and it’s one of my greatest pleasures to get to teach others my fave thing – working with couples!

Their Love Story

Rachel and Tymiak met at Fairleigh Dickinson University. Ty was on his recruit visit to the school for basketball and he spotted Rachel in the basketball gym during her team’s practice. Ty says he was trying to focus on his visit, but after seeing her, he just knew that there was something special about her!

On his visit, Ty was wearing pink sneakers, so he ended up changing his Facebook profile picture to a picture of his pink sneakers before sending Rachel a friend request just so she would know who he was! Smart guy! 🙂 They got to know each other while he was still living in Virginia, and after some time, they began dating and became the ‘love and basketball’ couple of college! We took advantage of their love for basketball at their session and they threw on their uniforms to show off their passion!

Ty proposed in the gym where they first met when they went to visit for homecoming! Their families, friends, coaches, and teammates were all there hiding behind the drapes as Ty and Rachel played basketball for a little bit. He gave them all a cue and they came out from behind the drapes making a ton of noise! She turned around to see him on his knee with a ring in his hand! 🙂
