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!”

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.
