Surprise Proposal | Summit NJ Photographer

A Lovely Shade of Jade
April 30, 2018 by Dawn Pecorella Curto in Couples Photography, Morristown Photography, Summit Photography, Engagement Photography, Proposal Photography

April 23, 2018 will definitely be a day that Emily & T.J. will look back on years from now and luckily have these memories to share with their kids & grandkids! Why you ask? It's the day that T.J. proposed to Emily!

It started with a movie, Big Fish to be exact. Have any of you seen this movie? If you haven't go and Google Big Fish Daffodil scene right now! Big Fish happened to be both their favorite movie before they met & they found out on their 1st date that they both loved the movie. For T.J.'s proposal to Emily, T.J. had a really sweet idea in mind. Propose to Emily in a field of Daffodils! How sweet?! They also both have a love of arboretums so he searched for arboretums that have daffodil fields. He lucked out and found one in Summit, NJ, the beautiful Reeves Reed Arboretum.

Now how to get Emily there when they both live in Philly and Reeves Reed is in NJ? With a little help from T.J's sister they made fake tickets to a broadway show in NYC. The plan was that Emily & his sister would go to the city to see the show together. What Emily didn't know was that T.J. would be skipping work that day and putting his plan into motion. He headed over to the arboretum with his mom and waited nervously in the middle of the daffodil field for Emily to show up. T.J's sister told Emily they would be making a little stop before heading into the city. That little stop would be the arboretum :)

                                                               T.J. patiently (and nervou…

                                                               T.J. patiently (and nervously) waiting for Emily in the field of Daffodils

Emily arrives right on time and she sees T.J. standing in the field of daffodils. I am sure from that point on it's a bit of a blur to her. She stood at the top of the field frozen and sobbing in joy. There was no way she would walk down to T.J. in her state of shock but that's ok! He walked up to her and got down on one knee aaaaaannnnnnnddddddd SHE SAID YES!!

After the excitement calmed down a little bit I was able to get them both together in the field for some photos. Thanks for allowing me to capture your special day. These memories will be so beautiful for you to have & look back on one day!

From the warm golden light of their maternity session a couple months back to quiet snuggly nursery moments 💛

So grateful to be invited back to capture another chapter of their story. ✨

Cake + giggles + a whole lot of mess? Yes, please. 🎂💛

Cake smash sessions are pure joy—messy, sweet, and full of one year old personality. Whether we’re outdoors in a local park or keeping it simple in front of a backdrop in Morristown
And just like that… 7th grade is in the books!
Still lovin’ the Joe Bros, adding Morgan Wallen to the playlist (every second of the day), and dreaming up big plans with horses and interior design.
Proud of our girl—oh and of course
Wildly cute curls, nonstop giggles,  the sweetest good boy and the kind of joy you just can’t fake. 🥰
Senior pics don’t have to be awkward—promise. We hit downtown Morristown for Griffin’s senior session and kept it super laid back. His chill vibe came through in every shot.

If you’re dreading senior photos, this is your sign
Fact: If we’re doing an in-home newborn session and you’ve got a cute front porch… we’re 100% using it! As soon as I pulled up, I was like yep—we’re making this adorable spot part of the session!

Another fact: I
