Sterling Ballroom

Not to be biased here, but if you’re looking for a wedding venue in NJ with beautiful wedding photo locations, you should look at the Sterling Ballroom in Tinton Falls. Our outdoor area is always filled with beautiful flowers, trees, and shrubbery to suit the season. Our most popular spots for photos are the swanky AQUA Lounge and the white pergola on the patio where we hold outdoor ceremonies.

New Jersey Beaches

If you’re getting married at a nearby ballroom in Monmouth County, the surrounding beaches are the perfect backdrop for a beautiful wedding day photo op. Just be sure to go in the morning or evening during the summer season to avoid bikini-clad beachgoers in the background.

There’s nothing better than a vibrant, colorful backdrop for beautiful wedding photos.

Asbury Park Boardwalk

Speaking of shore towns, Asbury Park, for instance, is a captivating place to take photos. Known for being a former resort destination at the turn of the century, the entire seaside town has undergone its own renaissance in the past decades and is one of the hippest places to go all year round. The old casino and some of the buildings along the boardwalk have gorgeous murals painted by local artists that make for cool memories.

Allaire State Park

This sprawling Monmouth County park combines picturesque forests and greenery with the old-world charm of revolutionary era brick and wood buildings. Allaire has a surprising amount of different photo ops that you might never imagine could exist in the same park.

The great thing about getting married in New Jersey is you’re surrounded by shorelines. If you’re looking for a more fun-filled and exciting environment to take photos at Seaside Heights boardwalk. The long stretch of beach makes for an awesome picture. With the amusement park lit up and centered behind you, the kid at heart will certainly manifest in your wedding photos.
