Bear Brook Valley Wedding Venue in Northern New Jersey
This barn wedding has always been one of my favorite northern New Jersey wedding venues to photograph at as a New Jersey wedding photographer. I step through Bear Brook Valley’s rustic-themed grand wooden entrance for Jenna and Chaz’s special spring wedding day. Although it was drizzling outside, the mood in the bridal suite was still upbeat and calming. We weren’t going to let the weather stop us from a great celebration!

Bridal Suite at Bear Brook Valley
Bear Brook Valley is the perfect wedding venue for a rainy day especially with the overhang areas for its outdoor locations around the venue. Their overhang on its side patio is perfect for group photos. As Jenna got her final touches with hair and makeup, we started putting her beautiful lacey wedding gown with her best friend and mom by her side. It was a lovely moment as they got her dressed in front of the large windows inside Bear Brook Valley’s bridal suite. Her mom also gifted her a bracelet that she made sure to wear for her special day. As she put on her accessories, we started setting up the groom for the first look.

First Look Outside of NJ Vineyard Venue
The outside patio was perfect for this rainy wedding day. It was such a beautiful moment when Chaz saw Jenna’s wedding outfit for the first time. We immediately moved on to romantic wedding portraits at this barn wedding venue in northern New Jersey. We made use of all the exterior estate and even got some romantic photos under the rain with a clear umbrella. These clear umbrellas will always come in clutch on a rainy day and are something that all wedding photographers prepare for!

After spending a few moments capturing elegant wedding portraits with the bride and groom, we pulled in the wedding party. It was amazing to see how everyone was so cheerful and supportive of Jenna and Chaz. Every moment was just filled with waves of waves of laughter and words of encouragement to the bride and groom.
Indoor Wedding Ceremony in New Jersey
Then, it was time for Bear Brook Valley’s indoor wedding ceremony! The indoor space was extremely spacious and had a stunning backdrop with the bright natural light coming through the large doors. Wedding guests started trickling in as we hid the bride and groom. It was stunning to see Jenna walk down the aisle and toward her soon-to-be husband. As they exchanged vows and rings, I could see their love and commitment exuding out of them. Their flower petals toss made their walk down the aisle as husband and wife so much more magical!
