This New Jersey wedding proposal took place at Alstede Farms in Chester, NJ. Jack’s plan was to go apple picking with Andrea and surprise her with a proposal in the sunflower field. He had family from both sides hiding amongst the sunflowers as a second part of the surprise. I ran into the family as I was heading to the sunflower field that Jack had planned to go to, but when we arrived to it, all of the sunflowers were dead. Seeing others with sunflowers, I knew there must be a field with them in bloom somewhere. So the family and I high-tailed it over to the next sunflower field. I was keeping in contact with Jack to let him know to switch locations and give us time to get over there. A little out of breath and sweaty from rushing over to the other field, we set ourselves up. I texted Jack to let him know where we were in the field. He did a great job locating us during a time when I’m sure he was quite nervous and excited. Andrea was totally surprised and the outpouring of love and emotion that happened after this New Jersey wedding proposal was enough to cause my eyes to well up…
Jack arrives to the spot to propose while Andrea is clueless about what is about to happen. I love how this moment captures Jack’s anticipation as he tries to figure out how to start the proposal, meanwhile, Andrea has no clue the big event that is about to happen…
The moment before it really starts to hit her…
Andrea realizes she is being proposed to…
She said yes!

The moment Andrea realizes their families have witnessed it all and are there to share in the joy of their New Jersey wedding proposal…
I love these next two images because they are so filled with emotion. Andrea is hugging her mom in joy as Jack is emotional in the background. There is just so much power behind this moment and I’m so happy I was able to capture this for Andrea and Jack…
Jack hugs his mother in an emotional moment as his sister provides comfort with a hand on his back…

This New Jersey wedding proposal was a success! Andrea was totally surprised not once, but twice, and there was such an outpouring of love from the family. It was beautiful to witness and I was honored to have document it all. Congrats to Andrea and Jack!
