The Vineyard
Looking for a NJ wedding venue with a vineyard? We've got you. The vineyard at Bear Brook Valley has quickly become the top spot for wedding day photos. Inspired by nature, this whimsical gem will give you timelessly beautiful wedding photos to hang around your home. 😍😍
The Boardwalk
This secret spot is located across from the carport, on the other side of the hill. It is intimate, rustic, and surrounded by nature for some more beautiful outdoorsy shots.
The Tree Swing
This romantic fairytale spot is yet another hidden gem at Bear Brook Valley for the best photos {not pictured: the sounds of a trickling waterfall right behind it!}. It's timeless, charming, and super dreamy.
The Woods
One of the perks of being in New Jersey's greenest county: all the natural photo opportunities!
Vineyard Bridge
A bridge is symbolic; a connection between two worlds. Bridge photos are a must, anytime of the year!
Bridge (2)
Just a short drive or walk away, you’ll find the second bridge which is a bit more private. This bridge is adjacent to the woods, a waterfall, and the river.
Moke
Cruise around the BBV grounds in style in the Moke, and of course take some photos in it!
Rolling Hills Meadow
Our open field over the hill next to the parking lot is another secret spot great for photos. The sunset lighting up there is stunning!
Green Building
Switch it up with this industrial backdrop!
Night Shots
Don't forget to sneak away for a few night pics {and for a quiet moment just the two of you}.
Sunset Overlook
Enjoy the views and the picture-perfect backdrop on Sunset Overlook!
The Waterfall
Ballroom
The ballroom is an ideal location for taking portraits on rainy days. With its floor-to-ceiling windows, plenty of natural light streams in, creating an outdoor ambiance.
Pond Ceremony Pergola
Be sure to get a photo under the pond ceremony pergola, especially if you aren’t having your ceremony in this space!
Cedar Pavilion
The Cedar Pavilion's ski lodge aesthetic is simply delightful. It serves as a refuge from the sun on hot days and shelter from the rain on wet days. This is a great spot for photos with large wedding parties, too!
The Cocktail Patio
The Garden
The Pine Trees
A favorite spot of ours for cozy winter wedding photos!
The Deck
Step out of the Silo Suite and onto the deck for cute getting ready pictures! If it’s snowing or raining on your wedding day, the deck is covered, so you don’t have to go far!
The Juliet Balcony
Save this map and the checklist so you and your photographer can become familiar with where all of the best photo spots are and don't miss a beat on your wedding day!
