There’s something so magical about returning to a place filled with memories and love. That’s exactly what Kristen and Dominick did when they chose Princeton University for their engagement photoshoot.

These sweethearts met at The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) and have been inseparable ever since!

Today I will share more of their love story and these gorgeous Princeton University engagement photos! So, let’s get into it!

A Chance Encounter at TCNJ

Kristen told me the story of how they met and it really was such a meet-cute moment! 

Kristen met Dominick towards the end of their freshman year at TCNJ. She was coming back from a party with her best friend, both of them laughing so hard and making a lot of noise in the dorms.

That is what got Dom to wake up and check out the hallway to see what was going on, and that was the moment that started it all. Kristen got his number and they began dating that summer!

Princeton University Engagement Photos

While attending college, Kristen and Dom would often spend their date nights exploring the beautiful downtown area of Princeton. They fell in love with the stunning architecture of the buildings and the charming, cozy vibes of the downtown.

And I’m so glad they chose this location for their engagement photoshoot! It really was so beautiful and I wish we could have roamed those streets forever!

Capturing the Love and Champagne Pops

During their engagement session,  Kristen and Dominick showcased their playful sides by incorporating a fun champagne pop – I’m such a sucker for those! 

These always make for fun and cute photos, and I have a trick to capture the perfect pop every time! If you want to know how, check out my Instagram! I made a reel about it and you can find it here!

Their laughter and genuine love for each other shone throughout the shoot! Honestly, everytime I look back at the photos I hear “Love Story” by Taylor Swift in my head!

Chic, Warm and Genuine Engagement Photos at Princeton University

As we strolled through the campus, the atmosphere was very laid back, fun and relaxed. We were listening to the Smiths and enjoying each other’s company as I captured both candid and posed moments of these two lovebirds.

I am absolutely smitten with the photos we captured and obsessed with how they turned out!
