Pendry Natirar Summer Wedding | Rachel + Eddie
Pendry Natirar Mansion | Peapack-Gladstone, NJ
Nestled in the rolling hills of Peapack-Gladstone, NJ, Pendry Natirar is one of those venues that stops you in your tracks. The Mansion, a 1912 architectural beauty, blends classic elegance with a touch of modern luxury, making it an incredible backdrop for any wedding. It is one of my absolute favorite New Jersey wedding venues! With its grand views of the Natirar landscape, meticulously designed interiors, and a breathtaking outdoor event space, it’s easy to see why Rachel and Eddie chose this one-of-a-kind setting for their wedding day. I had the pleasure of second shooting this wedding for Lizzie Burger Photography, and it was such a joy to capture so many emotional, love-filled moments.
Getting Ready in The Mansion at Natirar
The morning started in one of the stunning bridal suites inside the Mansion, where Rachel and her bridesmaids were getting ready. I focused on capturing all the little details—her stunning gown in front of the fireplace and the chatter of anticipation in the room with her girls. Rachel’s gown had the most gorgeous satin bow on the back, adding such a fun touch. One of the sweetest moments was her first look with her dad. As soon as he saw her, the emotions hit, and they both teared up. It was such a heartfelt moment that set the tone for the day.
First Look & Portraits Outside The Mansion
Outside on the grounds of Natirar, Rachel met Eddie for their first look, and let me tell you—his reaction was everything. The second he turned around and saw her, the emotion washed over him, and there were instant tears. The love between these two was so evident, and capturing those raw, unfiltered moments is what makes wedding photography so special. We spent time taking portraits around the property, making use of the gorgeous outdoor spaces before heading inside to cool off before the ceremony.
A Ceremony Overlooking Natirar Park
Rachel and Eddie’s ceremony took place on the Grand Ballroom Terrace and Event Lawn, overlooking the vast Natirar countryside. Their floral-adorned arch framed the view perfectly, making for an absolutely dreamy ceremony setup. More happy tears were shed as they exchanged vows, surrounded by family and friends who were just as emotional as they were. There’s something so special about outdoor ceremonies at Natirar—the combination of natural beauty, elegant design, and heartfelt moments creates pure magic.
Celebrating in The Grand Ballroom
After a sun-soaked cocktail hour on the patio, guests moved inside to the Grand Ballroom for the reception. With its 5,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed space, high ceilings, and soft, sophisticated lighting, the ballroom is truly a showstopper. Rachel and Eddie’s night was filled with incredible energy, laughter, and unforgettable memories.
Weddings at Pendry Natirar always have a sense of effortless elegance, and Rachel and Eddie’s day was no exception. From the emotional first look to the stunning ceremony views, every part of the day felt so beautifully intentional. It was an honor to capture these moments and be part of such a special celebration. If you’re planning a wedding at Pendry Natirar, you’re in for an absolutely breathtaking day!
