WORD ON THE STREET

If you’re dreaming of timeless elegance, romantic garden views, and European-inspired architecture, this Ashford Estate wedding is sure to capture your heart. Nestled in the quiet countryside of Allentown, New Jersey, this stunning estate is one of the most luxurious and visually striking wedding venues on the East Coast — and it photographs like an absolute dream.

Amanda and Michael’s Ashford Estate wedding was the perfect blend of classic beauty and personal charm. From the moment we arrived, it was clear this was going to be a special day. The Ashford Estate offers a seamless experience for couples — from the grand iron gates to the serene tree-lined drives and breathtaking ceremony spaces. Every backdrop feels thoughtfully designed for timeless wedding portraits.

Their day began in the estate’s private bridal and groom suites, which are full of natural light — ideal for capturing soft, elegant getting-ready moments. Amanda wore a stunning gown that perfectly complemented the refined atmosphere of the estate. One of our favorite moments from their early portraits was the first look between Amanda and her Father, a quiet, emotional moment in the beautiful bridal suite.

The ceremony took place in a stunning white chapel nearby, with vaulted ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the space with light. 
Following the ceremony, we explored the grounds for portraits. The estate's stone bridges, ivy-covered walls, and lush gardens created a magical setting for romantic couple photos and elegant bridal party shots. Every turn of the property offers something beautiful and unique — which makes it easy to create a gallery that feels full and varied.

One of the most memorable details from Amanda and Michael’s day was their choice to start the reception with cake — a fun, unexpected twist that kicked off dinner with a little extra joy. Later in the night, Amanda changed into a second dress and danced the night away under glowing chandeliers in the Ashford’s grand ballroom.

The celebration ended with a sparkler exit on the cobblestone walkway, a perfect finale to a stunning day.
