I capture the unspoken — the glances, the silences — drawing from New York's pulse and the richness of global cultures. Every wedding is its own intricate narrative. Rooted in theatre and life's everyday rhythms, I document moments both transient and timeless.

Maritime Parc Wedding

Maritime Parc, located in Jersey City, NJ, is a stunning wedding venue that offers beautiful outdoor space and breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline. As a wedding photographer, I always get excited when I get the opportunity to shoot at this unique and picturesque location.

The outdoor space at Maritime Parc is one of the venue’s highlights. The beautiful waterfront location provides a serene and calming ambiance that is perfect for a wedding celebration. The outdoor space features an expansive patio and an attractive lawn area ideal for outdoor ceremonies and cocktail hours. The lush greenery and the calming sound of the water make for a beautiful and peaceful setting for wedding photos.

The indoor space at Maritime Parc is equally beautiful. The venue features a contemporary and elegant design, with floor-to-ceiling windows that provide stunning views of the Manhattan skyline. The spacious main dining room can accommodate up to 300 guests, and the sleek décor and lighting create a warm and inviting atmosphere perfect for a wedding reception. The venue also has a separate cocktail area perfect for pre-reception drinks and hors d’oeuvres.

One of the unique features of Maritime Parc is their commitment to sustainability. The venue sources its food from local and sustainable sources and has implemented several eco-friendly practices to reduce its carbon footprint. As a wedding photographer, I love working with a venue that values sustainability and supports local businesses.

In addition to the beautiful views and sustainable practices, what sets Maritime Parc apart is its exceptional service. The venue’s staff is always attentive, friendly, and helpful, making sure that every aspect of the wedding runs smoothly. Their attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond to ensure that every couple’s vision is realized is truly impressive.

Regarding photography, Maritime Parc offers endless possibilities for beautiful and unique photos. From the waterfront views to the contemporary interior design, there are many stunning backdrops to work with. The natural light pours into the venue during the day makes for beautiful and bright photos, and the evening views of the Manhattan skyline provide a dramatic and romantic backdrop for nighttime photos.

As a wedding photographer, I am always excited when I have the opportunity to work at this beautiful location. I always walk away with beautiful and unique photos that truly capture the essence of the day.
