Bloomfield in June smells like roses.
Bloomfield holds the Essex County Rose Garden inside Brookdale Park — thousands of blooms peaking in June — plus the historic Bloomfield Green, ringed by churches and the 1796 college hall. Oakeside, the town's Gilded Age estate and cultural center, hosts the intimate weddings we love to photograph slowly.
