The Perfect Summer Day For A Park Loft Wedding

Oceanport, NJ

It was a bright and glowy summer day for a wedding at Park Loft located in Oceanport, NJ. The sun shines brightly, exuding vibrant and elegant energy in anticipation of the perfect day. The temperature was just right for this summer day. I smiled as I felt the consistent breeze against my face as I walked through the Monmouth County of Central NJ. I am so excited to photograph a wonderful wedding day by the seaport for Kristina and Steven!

Park Loft Groom Getting Ready

The morning sun pours through the windows as I enter the groom’s room, where the excitement is palpable. Steven stands in front of the mirror, adjusting his tie while his best man offers advice and a few laughs. I snap a photo of the groom’s focused expression, capturing the anticipation in his eyes. The room buzzes with energy—cufflinks are being clipped, shoes are being polished, and his family surrounds him, sharing moments of quiet pride. I move quickly, snapping shots of the groom adjusting his jacket, the final touches to his look, and the quick handshake with his father before the big moment arrives. Each detail, each look, reflects the excitement and love increasing for the day ahead.

Central NJ Church Ceremony

We headed on our way to the church for the wedding ceremony. Steven greets all the guests as they start trickling in. Kristina arrives with her dad just in time for the start time. This couple opted out of the first look moment. Kristina has always had the vision of seeing her soon-to-be husband at the aisle. It was a magical moment to witness and photograph as she walked down the aisle with her father. From the delicate lace of the bride’s dress trailing behind her to the joyful tears in her father’s eyes, the raw emotions were beautiful to capture. I couldn’t help but smile as the happiness continued to radiate from the NJ bride and groom as they said their vows to each other.

Huge congratulations to Kristina and Steven!
