Lakeside Wedding Venue in New Jersey
Ashley and Brent celebrated their love with a joyful, black tie summer wedding at Indian Trail Club in Franklin Lakes, NJ — and it was the kind of day that feels like pure sunshine from beginning to end. With the lake glistening behind them and a soft breeze drifting through the trees, they shared a private first look outdoors before we wandered down to the dock to finish their quiet moments together during portraits. Ashley’s veil caught the wind in the most beautiful way, creating those effortless, romantic moments that feel straight out of a film. These two are genuinely so sweet together — the kind of couple who can’t stop smiling when they’re side by side.
Their lakeside ceremony was heartfelt and personal, they shared their written vows bringing laughter and tears to each other and their guests, who looked back with love stunning in black tie attire, adding an elevated elegance to the relaxed beauty of the waterfront setting.
As the sun dipped lower over the lake, the celebration moved inside for an evening full of energy and joy. Subtle bird details were woven throughout the design — a meaningful nod to their shared love of birding. It was such a thoughtful way to reflect who they are, and those intentional touches made the celebration feel uniquely theirs. Ashley and Brent surprised everyone with a choreographed first dance that had the entire room cheering — the perfect reflection of their fun-loving spirit. From breezy dockside portraits to a dance floor packed with their favorite people, this Indian Trail Club wedding was a true celebration of love, connection, and summertime magic!
