Fort Lee: the bridge, the cliffs, the two of you.
Fort Lee owns the single most dramatic backdrop in New Jersey: the George Washington Bridge from Fort Lee Historic Park's bluff, with Manhattan stacked behind it. Engagement sessions here run from the Palisades cliffs down to Ross Dock at the river's edge — skyline, bridge steel, and water in one hour.

Frequently asked — Fort Lee
What time of day is best for GWB engagement photos?
Blue hour — the thirty minutes after sunset when the George Washington Bridge lights come on and the sky still holds color. We start ninety minutes earlier at Fort Lee Historic Park's overlooks for golden light, then finish at the bluff as the bridge ignites.
Do we need a permit to shoot at Fort Lee Historic Park?
Permit requirements can change. Check with the Palisades Interstate Park Commission for the current rules for portraits, larger setups, and wedding parties; Ross Dock follows the same commission's policies.
