Autumn Park Chateau Wedding | Tiffany & Zach


East Meets West at The Park Chateau Estate


Tiffany and Zach’s Park Chateau wedding photography was a breathtaking fusion of timeless traditions and modern elegance. As they planned their special day, they envisioned a modern ‘East Meets West’ celebration, seamlessly blending cultural heritage with contemporary design. Their carefully curated details brought this vision to life, making every moment unforgettable.

A rich Sonoma Spice color palette set the tone, woven beautifully throughout—from the luxurious florals to the elegant linens and even their custom invitation suite, which featured exquisite hand-lettered addressing. The color red, a symbol of luck and happiness in Chinese culture, played a significant role, adding a meaningful touch to their stunning day.

From Tiffany’s elegant bridal shoes to Zach’s monogrammed handkerchief, every detail was a reflection of their love story and impeccable style. As a Park Chateau wedding photographer, capturing these personalized elements, along with the grandeur of the venue, was an absolute dream. Their wedding was not only visually breathtaking but also deeply meaningful—a perfect balance of tradition and modern sophistication.

It was such an honor to capture Tiffany and Zach’s Park Chateau wedding photography. Their black-tie affair featured candlelight, lush florals, and meaningful traditions. The Budding Florist created stunning arrangements in cream, orange, and red, a symbol of good fortune in Chinese culture.

Tiffany wore a breathtaking Galia Lahav gown from Bridal Reflections. The mermaid silhouette, plunging neckline, and detachable bows added elegance. Later, she changed into a custom red dress for the tea ceremony. For the after-party, she wore a playful 3D floral appliqué dress by By Watters.

Her bridesmaids looked stunning in Show Me Your Mumu and Shona Joy gowns. One of the most meaningful moments of the day was their Chinese Tea Ceremony. Tiffany and Zach, dressed in traditional red attire, honored their families.
