Romantic, real, and completely you — couples sessions that feel like your favorite date, just with better photos at the end.

Real Moments. Real People. Real Love.

Real Moments. Real People. Real Love.

Beautifully, Uniquely You

No two love stories are the same, and that's exactly what makes yours worth telling. Whether you're playful and spontaneous, soft and deeply rooted, or a little bit of both — we're here to capture it all with warmth, care, and a whole lot of heart.

This is for the Couples…

  • Who want their photos to feel like something.

  • Who are ready to laugh a little too hard, wander, linger, and simply enjoy each other's company — while we take care of the rest.

  • Who value real emotions over perfect poses.

  • Who want a session that feels less like a photoshoot, and more like their favorite afternoon together.

And most of all, this is for the couples who want to look back at their pictures and feel transported to that exact moment — to not just see two people smiling, but remember how the laughter snuck up on them, the way they kept reaching for each other's hands, and how it all felt a little bit like magic.

What Our Clients Think ★★★★★

“My fiancé and I booked Alex and Arielle for an outdoor beach engagement photography session. Alex reach out and ask for details on what we were looking for to make sure we had the best location. He and Arielle are incredibly talented! They captured our special moments with such skill and creativity even with all the wind lol. They are super professional and really great to work with. The whole session felt genuine, fun, and comfortable. Alex and Arielle have a way of making you feel at ease and welcoming in front of the camera. They both have a great eye for detail! We were blown away by the quality. We truly had a hard time deciding which photos we liked the most because they all came out so great. The photos are beautiful, and we couldn't be happier. Highly recommend if you're looking for a photographer that is truly amazing!”

“Alex and Arielle were amazing to work with. I was nervous about being photographed and within minutes I was comfortable and we got great photos for our engagement! The whole process from booking, shooting, and selecting photos was relaxed and they were very helpful with guiding us into selecting photos that we loved. Arielle even gave her hand warmers to our old senior dog to keep him warm 💖 we absolutely recommend working with this duo!”

“Alex and his wife took my fiancé and I's engagement photos in Central Park and they turned out amazing! He was very helpful during the shoot, both with listening to our suggestions and giving us suggested poses that turned out great. He followed up with us afterwards virtually to pick our favorite pictures and we love them. He was prompt, helpful and responsive all the way through. Highly recommend.”

Hi, nice to meet you!

We're Alex and Arielle — a husband & wife photography team based in New Jersey. Between the two of us, we bring everything a great session needs: a trained eye for light and storytelling, and a warmth that makes everyone in front of our camera lens feel right at home. We believe a session should feel just as good as it looks, and we pour that belief into every photoshoot we take on.

Whether we're turning your living room into a studio, stepping outside into the world, or taking lifestyle photos at home—wherever you feel most like yourselves, that's where we want to be.

From transforming your living room into a studio to chasing golden hour outside — we go wherever you two feel most like yourselves.

Our traveling studio comes right to you — no traffic, no parking, no stress. Just your space, your comfort, and a camera. It's perfect for cozy at-home sessions, surprise proposals, or when your fur baby absolutely has to be part of the moment.

We also love capturing couples just being couples — cooking a meal together, a lazy Sunday morning, the quiet routines that make up a life shared.

And with a name like "Ginkgo Lens," we'll never say no to the great outdoors. Whether it's the beach, a quiet forest, a lakeside, or a field of tall grass — we'll find the backdrop that feels completely, naturally you.

FAQs!

  • Ginkgo trees are a symbol of hope and propserity, thanks to their long history! They thrive thanks to their hardiness and resilience and, much like photographs, are a constant reflection of beauty in the world.

    Similarly, what we promise you at Ginkgo Lens is a photoshoot that’s fun, beautiful and emotional– with finished images that will tell your story that moment for years to come.

    Fun Fact: The yellow color palette in our photos is inspired by ginkgo trees in autumn!

  • We generally need a minimum of 5’ x 7’ tp set up our backdrop and lights, but we’ve also never had a problem fitting into smaller living spaces for clients. If furniture or decor needs to be moved to accommodate our setup, we’ll gladly help move things and reset it when we leave!

  • We’ll travel anywhere within 50 miles of Englishtown, NJ without a travel fee for outdoor or in-home photoshoots. Outside of that, it’s $25 for 60 miles, and an $5 additional per 10 miles after that.

    For our Manhattan clients: due to the increase in congestion fees, we suggest shooting in Brooklyn or New Jersey to avoid having to cover that cost for us.

  • Absolutely! We’ll work with you both ahead of time and on the day of the photoshoot to stage the room(s), to make sure even the smallest rentals look picture perfect!

  • Yes, you can! We sell gift certificates that you can email us to purchase. We offer both digital and physical copies.

  • Not to worry! Our photography style typically involves high quality studio lights, whether the session is outdoors or indoors. Not only does this let us sculpt the scene in a painterly style, but we also capture energetic subjects effortlessly!

  • Every package includes digitals, but some include print credits as well. We don’t have any print only packages, because we believe having the digital is a much better value in today’s world. This way, you can share your photos on social media, emails, or text - and if you’d like prints you can either order high quality, professional ones directly from your gallery, or take them to a CVS or Walmart!

    (fyi, we recommend Walmart over CVS if you’re going that route)

  • Then you’re a perfect candidate for a Mini Session! We offer these smaller packages a few times a year, usually stylized around the season or a particular theme. They are shorter time slots at a location of our choosing and they book up fast, so we recommend joining our Newsletter to find out about them first.

  • That depends on several factors - such as what type of shoot it is, what date/time the shoot is, and any specific client requests. While we try to do most of our photoshoots together (so that whoever isn’t operating the camera can assist with gear and kids/pets), not every shoot will have both of us.

    Fortunately we both have easygoing personalities, and similar tastes for art and design. So you’ll always be in good hands with us!

  • If there are certain photos on our website that you love, you can share that with us and we’ll try to match you with the photographer who took your favorites. However as mentioned before, our shooting and editing styles are very similar!

  • We’ve been together since March of 2020, and have been married for 3 years! Our first date was in NYC, the exact night the 2020 lockdown was announced. As a joke or divine matchmaking move, our waiter actually gave us rubber gloves so we could hold hands at the table!

    While we’ve previously worked separately in the film/TV industry and behind the camera, it became increasingly clear that we worked even better as a team as our business styles complement each other beautifully.

  • Definitely - just let us know that when you book with us. We have no issues at all with not sharing people’s photos, and would never want to make you feel uncomfortable!

  • YES! Proposals fit into our Oak and Forest People Packages. We prefer to plan over a phone call or in-person meeting with the partner/family to ensure we’re all on the same page and fully out of the way during the big moment, and we’ll also get some quick posed photos and ring close-ups before we go!
