Angela + David’s Romantic Spring Wedding at The Ashford Estate

French blue and white hues carried all throughout Angela and David’s wedding decor. From their perfect placed stationery to their vow books, blue was definitely the color. The bridal parlor at The Ashford Estate was nothing short of extraordinary. Making it the perfect space for brides and their friends/family to get ready and really soak in those moments pre-ceremony. One of the biggest features of The Ashford Estate is the grand driveway into the property. With trees lining both sides and towering above ys, naturally it is one of the most stunning places for a first look. And a first look is exactly what we did! Emotional, beautiful and just perfect, Angela and David looked at each other as if they were falling in love all over again.

A Ceremony with Waterviews and A Grand Ballroom Reception

Overlooking the water, Angela and David made their vows in front of their family and friends. The setting was something straight out of a storybook and exactly what I envisioned for their special day. Following the ceremony, we stole our newlyweds for some golden-hour portraits while guests enjoyed their cocktail hour. Angela and David were able to get a sneak peek glimpse into their reception space before guests trickled in, making it the best intimate moment for the newlyweds.

At the reception you could find a Stitch-themed wedding cake that I know everyone was eager to try. Angela and David entered in for their grand entrance with a roaring applause as they swiftly moved to their first dance. Let’s just say… those dance classes must have really paid off because WOW. Angela and David shared the most breathtaking choreographed first dance which I can say was definitely worth it for all of the “oos” and “aahhs” I heard. As if the night couldn’t get any better, guests really showed their true colors on the dance floor and everyone gave their 100% in celebrating Angela and David. A night that I’m sure no one will ever forget.
