Romantic Park Chateau Wedding

I have been looking forward to Stephanie and Jake’s Romantic Park Chateau Wedding since I captured their beach engagement session at the Jersey Shore. Stephanie, the stunning bride, wore a show stopping, long-sleeved wedding gown with embroidered lace detail on the top and a Cathedral length veil. She was the picture of elegance! The amazing makeup artist, Makeup by Michele Eva completed her look. I’ve worked with this makeup artist a few times before and her work is always wonderful! She’s really nice and our brides always look amazing. Stephanie was no exception to that!

One of my favorite features at Park Chateau is the grand staircase. It is the perfect spot for timeless wedding portraits, especially once decorated with lush florals. White roses woven with baby’s breath lined the railing creating a romantic backdrop. We made sure to capture plenty of bridal portraits and wedding portraits by the stairs.

Park Chateau is an elegant New Jersey wedding venue known for its beautiful architecture, timeless details, and gorgeous, historic gardens. I’ve had the honor of capturing many weddings at Park Chateau. However, normally the ceremonies are held in the onsite chapel. Stephanie and Jake decided to do their ceremony outside in the garden with the fountain as their backdrop. It was absolutely beautiful! The light was oriented the right way and their ceremony took place during golden hour. Stephanie walked out of the chapel down the long aisle and everyone loved it. It truly was a picture perfect wedding ceremony.

The elegant ballroom is equally as beautiful as the outdoor gardens, with modern white walls, crystal chandeliers, and large windows for ample natural light. To kick off the night, the wedding party made their grand entrance, first with the adorable ring bearer riding in on his power wheels pickup truck. The bridesmaids in dusty pink dresses held cutouts of the bride and groom causing guests to cheer in anticipation for the newlyweds to enter. The rest of the evening was spent celebrating Stephanie and Jake and their happily ever after!
