Getting around Pompton Plains on a wedding day
Pompton Plains is Pequannock Township’s center on Route 23, and The Legacy Castle sits right on the highway where everyone can find it. That is the easy part. The hard part is Route 23 itself on a Saturday evening, with the Willowbrook traffic to the south and the Butler and Kinnelon traffic to the north. Mauricio plans arrival from the direction your guests are coming and knows the castle’s side entrance for the wedding party.
Couples getting ready at the Route 23 and Route 46 hotels are ten minutes away; Montville and the Boonton hills are fifteen minutes west for portraits with more nature in them.
Light and places in Pompton Plains
The castle is its own light: chandeliers, stone, a grand staircase and a ballroom built for the dance floor, so the evening does not depend on the weather. Outside, the grounds face open sky to the west and the stone turns gold in the last hour. For green and water, the Pequannock River park and the Pompton Lakes shoreline are five minutes away.
A Morris County photographer, about thirty-five minutes
Mauricio lives in Sparta and has photographed 750+ weddings in 14 years, most of them within an hour of Pompton Plains. He knows the Morris County coordinators, florists and DJs by name, and he plans every timeline around the real light on the ground rather than a number in an app.
Engagement sessions around Pompton Plains go to the Pequannock River and Pompton Lakes shoreline, the Pyramid Mountain trails and the castle grounds themselves.

“Mauricio and the rest of the team at Hariel Xavier Photography are now like family to my wife and I! We carefully chose Mauricio and his team and from day one at our engagement photos we KNEW the right choice was made. He went above and beyond to make sure every single detail was captured.”
