Joe & Marisa

Park Chateau Estate and Gardens

Joe and Marissa planned a classic, high end October wedding at Park Chateau Estate and Gardens in East Brunswick NJ. Park Chateau was created for the vision that Marisa and Joe had for their wedding day. October sunshine danced over the stunning french architecture that Park Chateau is known for, and Marisa OUTSHINED all that beauty. Joe and Marisa looked like they belong on the front of a magazine, along with every other moment from their wedding day!

A Park Chateau Estate and Gardens Wedding Day

Marisa and Joe are quite literally picture perfect. Joe looks like a real life Disney prince and Marisa absolutely belongs on a red carpet. But what is more fairy-tale than the obvious is their actual relationship. They fall into a sweetness with each other, even in the middle of a chaotic and exciting wedding day they reverted to tenderness with one another. Marisa speaks highly of her Joe. When talking about Joe she blushes, you can tell she admires who he is and is thankful to have him in her life. Joe who is more reserved, lights up like the Eiffel Tower when he sees his girl. Opening doors, making sure she is comfortable, I mean THIS is the kind of guy that moms pray their daughters marry.

This wedding day was smoother than a baby’s bottom. I arrived to the bridal suite and was able to meet Marisa and ALL of her incredible bridesmaids, what a fun group. After photographing all of the details we got Marisa dressed and goodness that sunlight made magic. Marisas bridesmaids were top-notch. Everyone made sure she was hydrated and that all things were gathered and in control. You can see why she has kept these girls in her life and wanted them to be there for her wedding day.

 

Joe stood with a HUGE smile on his face waiting for his bride at the end of the aisle. Joes Uncle is a priest so the ceremony itself was heartfelt and sincere, happy tears flowed. We went back to Park Chateau Estate and Gardens and my photographer brain went wild. The grounds are just delicious with the french inspired Chateau as a backdrop and autumn leaves dancing on the tree’s, I could have stayed there all day.

The Party

The ballroom at Park Chateau Estate and Gardens is ABSURD! Its massive for one but every little detail is curated to perfection. Marisa and Jo hired The Blake Band and they kept the dance floor packed all night long. If your wedding ends with the bride and groom crowd surfing…you have done something right.

 

 

All good things come to an end…

If I have ever wanted to photograph a real wedding that felt like a styled shoot this was it. Marisa created a clean, and soft aesthetic what a joy it was to photograph it! Truthfully, this wedding has SO many favorite images of mine BUT the images in what call the ” Ralph Lauren” room, WOW! Before I send you off into the photographic sunset be sure to read all the way to the end to see the complete list of these incredible vendors!
