Park Chateau Winter Wedding, NJ | Sabrina & John

Park Chateau knows how to do winter weddings right, and I was so glad I got to be back here for Sabrina and John’s gorgeous winter wedding day! There were so many stunning details all carefully coordinated by Sabrina from her sparkly heels to their beautiful gold embossed invitation suite! I was in detail heaven, for sure! John had the absolute sweetest reaction as he saw his beautiful bride walk down the aisle, and with good reason, he was finally getting to marry his sweet fiancé! There were so many unique touches during the ceremony that truly made it their own, and my favorite was the live singing of the worship song “What a Beautiful Name” at the beginning by a super talented singer and guitarist! It was really amazing hearing how their officiant personalized his speeches since he has known Sabrina for many years – it was emotional, full of joy, and had everyone in the room wiping tears away! I was SO excited to sneak these two out after dark to capture the most gorgeous portraits with all of the twinkling lights on the trees in the background – can you say ‘magical’?!

It made perfect sense that these two tied the knot in January because winter plays a special part in their story! Sabrina told me all about how John popped the big question! In their backyard, John had set up a whole display of Christmas lights and decorated a tree to be as festive for the holidays as possible! He asked Sabrina to marry him right there, where a light dusting of snow covered everything to make the moment just that much more magical. Although we didn’t get snow for their big day, it was gorgeous nonetheless and you could still feel the joys of the holidays still lingering!

Sabrina and John, you two have the sweetest souls, and I am so honored to be the one to document this milestone for you! Your wedding day was beyond perfection, and I hope it was everything you could have wanted and more! Thank you for being so wonderful, and I wish you the absolute best on your journey of marriage together! Congratulations, newlyweds!! Love you two so much! Xoxo
