An Elegant Fall Edgewood Country Club Wedding Day

Edgewood Country Club, Northern New Jersey

It was a beautiful crisp fall day for an Edgewood Country Club wedding in northern New Jersey. I got to the country club wedding venue and it was a stunning New Jersey wedding venue. The transitioning colors from summer to autumn were obvious, especially with the golden yellows, rich oranges, and light green. It was a stunning view to see the changing season at a luxurious, high-end country club. The golden sunlight lit up the grand entrance as I walked into this New Jersey country club wedding venue. It was going to be a stunning fall wedding day and I am so excited to photograph Alyssa and Rob’s special day!

Getting Ready at Edgewood Country Club

I could hear the laughter from the groom and groomsmen as I entered this northern New Jersey wedding venue’s suite. Light music was playing as I saw the groom hanging out with his closest friends before the start of his special day. I begin this fall wedding by gathering all the details. As a New Jersey wedding photographer, I always capture all the details – from the groom’s bowtie to the groom’s wedding shoes. These wedding details help tell the wedding story and are just as important as everything else on a wedding day! 

I photograph all the in-between moments as the groom starts getting ready with his best man. As he puts on his suit jacket, I can see Rob’s excitement through my camera lenses. I smile as I make sure to incorporate a mix of candids and styled posed photos of the groom. After he finishes getting ready, we make our way outside for a special first look.

First Look at Edgewood Country Club Wedding Venue

As a northern New Jersey wedding photographer, I love an intimate first-look moment between the bride and groom on their wedding day. An outdoor first look makes a stunning wedding moment that the bride and groom can cherish forever. Alyssa approaches the groom from behind with her stunning lacy wedding dress. Rob’s raw emotions are captivating as he looks at his bride for the first time. We let them have their intimate moment, taking in each other.

Private Vows at Northern New Jersey Wedding Venue

I love this new wedding trend of exchanging private vows. It is such an intimate and emotional moment shared between the couple before the rest of the wedding day. As Alyssa and Rob read their vows after their first look, I could see all the raw emotions exchanged between the two. This is the perfect time to feel your raw emotions with your partner while not having a large audience! As a wedding photographer, I absolutely love this new trend. Don’t hesitate to include this as part of your wedding timeline!

Outdoor Wedding Portraits at Edgewood Country Club 

After the private vows, it was time for the bride and groom’s outdoor wedding portraits. We made our way around the country club wedding venue and captured them together on the golf course. They were beautifully surrounded by greeneries with a hint of sunlight behind them. These Edgewood Country Club wedding portraits are so romantic and elegant with many different scenic views. The wind was blowing at the perfect angle to make Alyssa’s veil so magical. Waves of laughter echoed throughout the golf course as they ran around and had so much fun with each other. I couldn’t help but smile at the love shared between Alyssa and Rob throughout the portrait session. 

Wedding Party at NJ Wedding Venue

After a beautiful wedding portrait session, we brought out the wedding party for more group photos. It was beautiful to see Alyssa and Rob surrounded by some of their closest friends and families. The bridal party’s nude wedding dresses were elegant for the wedding theme. They had such stunning moments together and helped Alyssa feel less nervous for the ceremony. Rob and his groomsmen were also stunning and supportive. Having the entire group together made everything feel so much warmer and fun!

Outdoor Fall Ceremony

Now, it was time for the outdoor ceremony! The wedding floral arrangements were minimalistic and elegant at the wedding ceremony. The soft autumn light filters through the trees as Alyssa walks down the aisle with her dad for this fall ceremony. The fallen leaves and seasonal décor add to the romantic atmosphere, and I focus on capturing both the big moments and the quiet glances shared between them. The wedding florals perfectly framed the NJ bride and groom as they stood there and looked at each other, smiling.

Before I knew it, the ceremony was over! The bride and groom had their first kiss as husband and wife. Congratulations to this beautiful New Jersey wedding couple!

NJ Wedding Reception

What a night! The first dance between the bride and groom was very sweet to watch and photograph. They had such a great time on the dance floor with their friends and families afterward. This is always the best part of the night after a long day of going with the schedule!

Congratulations again Alyssa and Rob for such a beautiful Edgewood Country Club wedding! You are officially married and I am so happy to have witnessed such a stunning and unforgettable fall wedding.
