Modern Elegance

HUDSON HOUSE

Sam & brett • jersey city, nj

The word *obsessed* to describe this Hudson House wedding would be the understatement of the century. Located in Jersey City, Hudson House is a brand new venue on the NYC scene. It is perfectly located with sweeping views of the Manhattan skyline and the Statue of Liberty. Floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the Hudson River. This incredible backdrop is exactly why Sam and Brett chose this venue.

When I asked Sam to describe her vision for the wedding at our very first meeting, she spoke without missing a beat. “Non-cookie cutter, yet still modern, elegant, and chic.” The couple wanted a feeling of warmth to the event, a welcome respite from the February cold outdoors.

Sam and Brett blended their Jewish traditions with a modern approach for the style of the wedding. For their ceremony, they wed under an acrylic chuppah filled with orchids, lilies, and all other white flowers. It was designed by Dalsimer Spitz & Peck. They had over 200 guests at their wedding reception. The design included mix of tables and floral styles to bring a unique feel to the event.

And finally, they invested in an absolutely epic flower wall. This served as a backdrop for all the photos with their guests and wedding party.

how to find your dream wedding photographer

If you’re getting married at Hudson House in New Jersey, first of all - amazing choice. Between the floor-to-ceiling windows, the rooftop terrace, and that panoramic NYC skyline view, it’s easily one of the most photogenic venues in the area.

A first look can also be a great idea here — it gives us more time to explore the waterfront, get those modern editorial-style shots in the marble staircase and ballroom, and ease some of the pressure from the post-ceremony timeline.

Hudson House has such strong architectural features that really elevate your portraits, the clean lines and neutral palette make it ideal for timeless, elevated images with just a touch of that cool, magazine feel.

If you’re adding any reception lighting or décor, we always suggest leaning into warm tones and candlelight, soft golds or amber tones photograph beautifully and complement the modern interior without clashing, unlike purples or greens which can cast odd colors.
