THE DESERTED VILLAGE, WATCHUNG NJ
This beautiful park is on the Watchung Reservation. It’s got everything from open fields to high grass backdrops. I usually start sessions here with a three-minute hike through the forest via a well-defined path to get to a lush green field. For the adventurous couples, there is a grouping of abandoned houses that look pretty awesome in photos. However, it is a long walk, so I only visit them upon request. This park is also dog friendly :)
