Park Loft Wedding of Ashley & Chris

As a wedding photographer, I've had the privilege of capturing countless love stories, and Park Loft stands out as an extraordinary venue for creating unforgettable wedding memories. This historic 1941 dance hall, beautifully restored and reimagined in 2022, offers a blend of timeless elegance and modern luxury that provides a stunning backdrop for wedding photography.

The venue's 25-ft. original beamed ceilings and 20,000 sq. ft. of modern-meets-classic vibe across two floors gave Ashley & Chris’s reception a unique feel. This isn’t your typical NJ wedding venue with white walls in a standard ballroom. It’s something charming with an extra WOW factor! The floating steel and glass stairs leading to the second tier and upstairs bar offer a grand entrance and stunning photo opportunities, creating dramatic and memorable shots. The wrap-around mezzanine, perfect for cocktail hour, adds an elevated perspective that captures the joy and excitement of guests celebrating.

Two original fireplaces, each with a five-foot-wide hearth and original brick mantel, one of which creates a warm, cozy, intimate feel, again, making this a one-of-a-kind space to party and celebrate. 

With their thoughtfully designed private suites, Ashley got to celebrate with her bridesmaids and also have a first look with her grandparents. They’re also the perfect spot for capturing the anticipation and excitement before the ceremony. The protected ceremony space, The Belvedere, with seating for up to 200 guests, provided an indoor-meets-outdoor vibe for their touching, emotional ceremony.

Park Loft’s attention to detail ensures that every aspect of the day is picture-perfect, allowing me to capture genuine emotions and spontaneous moments.

In every corner of Park Loft, there’s a unique feature or breathtaking view, making it an ideal venue for capturing the essence of a wedding day. From grand entrances to intimate exchanges, Park Loft provided the perfect canvas for preserving the memories and emotions of Ashley & Chris’s special day.
