A Calm, Joyful Morning at the Estate
The day began with soft light and a calm, joyful energy as Ava and her bridesmaids got ready in the bridal suite. Her details — classic, refined, and beautifully chosen — photographed perfectly against the warm tones of the estate.
Meanwhile, Andrew prepared in the groom’s cottage surrounded by great friends, music, laughter, and moments of anticipation. These quieter parts of the day are often where some of our favorite documentary images happen, and theirs were no exception.

An Emotional Indoor Ceremony in the Conservatory
Ava and Andrew exchanged vows inside Crossed Keys Estate’s beautiful indoor ceremony space — a warm and inviting conservatory-style room filled with natural light.
The atmosphere was intimate and emotional. As Ava walked down the aisle, the room glowed with soft, diffused window light, creating the perfect setting for cinematic, editorial ceremony photographs.
Their vows were heartfelt and deeply personal, surrounded by family and friends who filled the space with love and warmth. Indoor ceremonies at Crossed Keys offer a rare combination of elegance, intimacy, and perfect lighting — and Ava and Andrew’s moment felt unforgettable.
Garden Portraits Overflowing With Romance
After the ceremony, we photographed Ava and Andrew throughout the estate’s lush gardens, stone pathways, ivy-lined corners, and the sweeping countryside views that make Crossed Keys one of New Jersey’s most beloved venues.
The natural textures, greens, and florals paired beautifully with their classic attire and soft color palette. We mixed 35mm film with digital to create a collection of images that feel nostalgic, atmospheric, and timeless.
A Reception Filled With Joy in the Glass Pavilion
Their reception took place in the stunning Glass Pavilion — bright, modern, and surrounded by panoramic views of the gardens. Candlelit tables, lush florals, and a warm golden glow set the tone for a refined and emotional evening.
From heartfelt toasts to a lively dance floor, Ava and Andrew’s reception was filled with energy and connection. Guests celebrated late into the evening, and the Glass Pavilion provided the perfect ambience for documenting everything from quiet emotional moments to joyful celebration.
