Kayla & Tyler | June 17, 2023 | Park Château Estate, East Brunswick, New Jersey
Kayla and Tyler’s June wedding at the iconic, New Jersey venue, The Park Chateau Estate, was filled with sentimental moments and a focus on family. This couple is beautiful on the inside and out. Tyler’s reaction to seeing his bride for the first time, was so sweet and genuine.
Kayla & Tyler’s Park Chateau wedding was a dream wedding! Highlights include: the cutest first look ever, the bride escorted down the aisle by both her dad and step dad, photos with their fur baby, Reign and real live cheer stunts during the reception.
Bridal Morning
The day started across the parking lot, at the Chateau Grande Hotel. At first, I was a little disappointed that we would not be in the bridal suite all morning, but when I got to the hotel, I realized I was worrying over nothing. The hotel room was beautiful and there was plenty of natural light. After shooting the wedding details, we did go over to the Park Chateau bridal suite which is a photographer’s dream, let me tell you! It has plenty of space and so much light. It really is the perfect venue.

Okay, now back to the gorgeousness of Kayla & Tyler’s wedding.
Groom Morning
Thanks to Jenna for getting these great shots of Tyler and the guys. I love how she took the bridal party into the cocktail hour room for this shot.

First Look
First Look with Dads & Bridesmaids
Soon, it was time for the first looks. Yes, plural. Kayla did a first look with both of her dads- her dad and step dad, as well as with Tyler. I think my favorite part of the day was the first look. Tyler’s reaction is my favorite groom reaction of all time. The front of the building was the perfect setting for the bride and groom first look.
First Look with Tyler
Of course, we had to use the grand staircase for a few couples shots. We even came back later after Kayla changed into her surprise second dress. This part of the estate just exudes timeless elegance to me.
They also read private wedding vows to each other during bride and groom photo time. It worked out perfectly because it actually started to rain a little so we went into the chapel for cover. They read their vows, we photographed family photos and by then the rain had cleared up for us to go back outside for bridal party photos.

The same owners also own Nanina’s in the Park. In my opinion, all of their sister properties are so beautiful.
In love with these beautiful gardens.
Bridal Party Photos
Park Chateau Ceremony
The wedding ceremony took place in Park Chateau’s private chapel. I’ve also seen some outdoor ceremony weddings at this venue and they also look beautiful. But the chapel is so classic and the perfect place for a wedding ceremony, in my opinion.
Both dads escorted Kayla down the aisle.

Kayla surprised Tyler with a second dress:
Finally, when the bride and groom are both professional cheerleaders, you know your dance floor photos are going to be incredible. The grand ballroom and the interior of the estate is just as beautiful as gorgeous grounds are. How beautiful is the gorgeous detail in these tablescapes?! And the wedding cake is so pretty.

I got home from their wedding after midnight and literally woke up at 5:30 AM because I could NOT wait to go through all the amazing photos we took. My kids were not even home that day, so as the only one in the house, I really should have been sleeping in, but I can never sleep after a wedding.
I’m pretty sure Kayla gave Teresa Guidice some serious competition for Park Chateau’s most iconic bride. And she 100% wins when it comes to hair, I mean that’s serious goals right there.
Congratulations again to Kayla & Tyler. Park Chateau truly is the perfect wedding and event venue.
