This Auburn Road Winery engagement was such a sweet summer Proposal in Pilesgrove, NJ. Auburn Road is less than an hour from Philadelphia, making it an ideal destination if you live in the city. Just the right distance to make it feel like a bit of an adventure, but not so far that you don’t want to go. It features lovely vineyards and outdoor and indoor seating where you can be seated amongst the grape vines. This romantic location is perfect for a date night, engagement photos, and also for a surprise marriage proposal like this one.




This couple was seated at the edge of the vineyard for an evening glass of wine on a warm summer day. After ordering their drinks, they went for a little stroll down the scenic row of grape vines. Can you get more romantic than that? Then, surrounded by the beauty of the winery, he got down on one knee, professed his love, and sweetly asked for her hand in marriage. It really was such a treat to witness this vineyard engagement.

When deciding where to propose, you may want to consider a winery. They often have beautiful backdrops for photos, especially if there are vineyards on the property. Often, there are scenic landscapes and private nooks for a proposal. After the proposal, you won’t have to go anywhere else to celebrate as you will be able to cheers with a glass(or bottle) of wine right on site. Winereis often balances both an elegant and a relaxed atmosphere.

This idyllic winery in NJ has so many pretty places for engagement photos. From the scenic patio overlooking the vineyard, to the cozy firepits. Walking around the property, you will see rows of grapevines that you can wander around. This proposal was on a summer evening. Although there was full sun, there were still plenty of beautiful places to capture the couple enjoying their first moments of being engaged.

On this occasion I was there to photograph this enchanting proposal, but Auburn Road also hosts weddings right at the vineyard. They have two separate options that can be used for private events. The Garden House which feels like a greenhouse or rustic barn and would be so pretty as the backdrop for a wedding. There is also their wine bar that is available for events.

The winery staff was super helpful during the planning process, and they were able to seat me at a table close by with a delicious blueberry mocktail, so I kept a close eye on the couple and watch for them to get up and go on their stroll down the aisle, which I knew was the queue that he was about to ask her her hand in marriage.
