Fairytale Wedding at Park Chateau Estate & Gardens

East Brunswick, New Jersey

|

An absolutely picture-perfect day for Victoria and Paul at Park Chateau! On our final call before their wedding, Victoria told me that almost every choice they made for their wedding day took into account getting beautiful photos, aka music to my ears. And boy, these two did not disappoint. From start to finish their celebration was filled with the most beautiful and luxurious details, from numerous jaw-dropping floral installations, to the custom branded ceremony runner and dance floor, and a multitude of unforgettable guest experiences (including a late-night food truck AND cannoli man serving guests on the dance floor).

Victoria and Paul first met on a Friday night out in Hoboken over four years ago at a bar called Madison’s. As Victoria tells it, “Paul was out on a boys’ night with two friends and I was out on a girls’ night with two friends. We had mutual friends in common who met up that night and introduced us. For me, I knew the moment I met him — something inside of me just knew that he was my person. We went out on our first date two days later and it lasted eight hours! The rest really was history — we’ve been together ever since!”

Paul officially popped the question in December of 2022 right before Christmas at the holiday market in Bryant Park! Victoria was so surprised, and she of course said yes! “My ring is an oval cut with a simple diamond band. It’s exactly what I wanted! Paul knew what I wanted, but wanted it to be a surprise so he designed the ring by himself.”

Together these two live in the suburbs of New Jersey with their sweet Golden Retriever pup, Sammy. In their spare time, Victoria and Paul love exploring new towns, trying new restaurants, and finding new shops and local bakeries to try out. “I’ve converted Paul into a Bravo fan, so we enjoy cuddling up on the couch on weeknights and watching the latest episode of a Bravo show.”

This couple is truly so sweet, and they deserved nothing short of such an incredible day. Victoria positively glowed in her exquisite Galia Lahav gown, and Paul looked classically dapper in his custom tux. And don’t even get me started on the breathtaking florals — Dahlia Florals did an amazing job complementing the ornate beauty of Park Chateau with several opulent floral installations, including the lobby staircase and the outside of the on-site chapel. Every detail was so thoughtfully considered, and as photographers we were truly in wedding heaven.

Congratulations to Victoria and Paul on an absolutely incredible celebration!
