Last Fall, I photographed Alyssa and Mark’s Hoboken NJ engagement session. Alyssa and Mark met through a mutual friend, a college friend for Alyssa and a friend from back home for Mark. While they cannot seem to agree on when they first actually met, Alyssa says it was a Zog sports kickball game for a team neither of them were on. Their first date was at Oneils in Hoboken Fall of 2013.

Engaged on 12/09/2017, the proposal from Alyssa: “Mark told me we were going to meet his cousins at a beer garden down the shore for the day. They “happened” to be running late so we decided to stop in Manasquan where (Alyssa) did shore houses for a few years to grab a drink before to kill time. It was snowing, so he managed to get me on the beach and popped the question! Our family’s were waiting at a restaurant nearby to celebrate.”

Alyssa and Mark are planning a June 2019 wedding at Forsgate Country Club, when they are not wedding planning, they love watching football! Alyssa is a huge Eagles fan while Mark loves the Jets. They also love to cook, drink wine and try new restaurants. They enjoy the beach and skiing and watching Netflix!  Once married, they hope to continue to travel before having children.

What are you most looking forward to about your wedding day?

Well, getting married!! Having all of our family in friends in one place!
