Leonia has been posing for artists since 1900.
Leonia has been an artists' town for over a century, and it photographs like one — porch-front Victorians, painters' light on quiet avenues, and the meadows of Overpeck County Park unrolling at the borough's edge. Engagement sessions here feel unhurried in a way few places this close to the bridge can manage.

Frequently asked — Leonia
Why do you recommend Leonia for relaxed engagement sessions?
Because the town gives you three settings in a ten-minute radius: Overpeck's open waterfront meadows, Wood Park's shaded paths, and Victorian porch streets that feel borrowed from a small New England town. No crowds, easy parking, and west-facing water light to finish.
Is Overpeck's Leonia section good for golden hour?
It's one of the best in eastern Bergen County — the meadows face west across the water, so the last hour of sun comes in low and unobstructed. Summer evenings add rowers on the creek; October adds color along the far bank.
