With the cost of travel being so high you want to make sure you’re getting the most bang for your buck and we’re right there with you, that’s why we’ve put together this list of our top ten spots in New Jersey that you can use for your next photo shoot, from parks to piers all ready for you to explore.

This trail is well known for being a tough climb with the average person taking nearly two hours to walk the whole trail, but it’s also a well know spot for beautiful Instagram posts. With bridges to pass you can fully take in nature as well as the sunset looking over the forest. You may also be able to see our New York neighbors as the line isn’t that far away. So, if you want to take a selfie and feel like you’re the king of the world, Vernon Township might be the place for you.

Over the valley and through the woods to NYC we go. As we move from nature to where all the action happens at Pier 13 in Hoboken plenty of shops and people chose this spot as their last stop before entering the city, so you’ll be able to snag a ton of photos of you showing off your best. Though of course you’ll be close to New York so it may be crowded by the time you get there.  

One of our semifinalists for New Jersey’s Tankful Trips this park shakes it up with beautiful sculptures and ponds that are just waiting for you to take a picture of, however the fun doesn’t end there are you have two onsite cafés to choose from where if showing off your meals is your thing then snap, eat and enjoy. 

This beautiful beachside has everything to offer from food and drinks to live and local entertainment with plenty of photo opportunities either on the beach or at one of the special events like whale watching. Nothing can go wrong with a little fun in the sun at this location. 

Back in nature we get to visit our friends from Delaware this time as you take pictures alongside the mountainous water gap, while your best shot of the water comes from Mt. Tammany, this is also considered one of the best hiking trails in the Garden State so if you do choose this spot for your next photo shoot be prepared to run into some people along your path. 

If you’re in love with the urban city live then you’ll want to check out Montclair’s downtown scene as it is overflowing to amazing photo spots on top of all the fun entertainment and local shops you can stop and relax in after filling up your phone's storage.  

Speaking of city life, if you love old style buildings with a modern glow you have to check out this location right on the Jersey shore. With plenty of places that will make you feel like a photographer this spot is a must see for yourself from beach to boardwalk. 

As the winner of our New Jersey Tankful Trips Bracket we just had to include this amazing and local shelter for animals, so if you love getting great opportunities for photos and sharing the spotlight with a furry friend then hit the farm and enjoy the day as you can bring the whole family for a fun outing. 

Now this is a sight to behold as you can pose with the George Washington Bridge in the background, but why stop at just taking photos because this location offers grills, playgrounds, even boat ramp access. So, if you want a fun day with everyone you know this might be the spot for you. 

Last, but certainly not least, on our list is Branch Brook Park in Newark, this beautiful park is renowned for its amazing cherry blossom trees as well as for being a top spot for anyone looking to get that perfect shot. Though you’ll want to head here in the spring time if you want to catch the cherry trees in full bloom.
