Love stories that begin in high school are the stuff of dreams, and Naz and Matthew’s story is no exception. Their country estate NJ wedding at The Ashford Estate was a breathtaking celebration of a love that has stood the test of time, transforming a magnetic high school connection into this exciting new chapter.

How It All Began

Their romance began early – back in sophomore year when they were just 15 years old. Their relationship persevered through plenty of ups and downs, proving that true love knows no boundaries. Years later, Matthew proposed on the stunning cliffs of Malibu by surprising Naz with a ‘Marry Me’ sign, and thus began the next major chapter in their lives.

Naz & Matthew’s Country Estate NJ Wedding at The Ashford Estate

Naz’s wedding vision was crystal clear: elegant, simplistic, and timeless. Her carefully curated design featured an amazing palette of white roses complemented by lush greenery, creating an atmosphere of refined sophistication. The bridal party’s black attire added a modern, chic look that elevated the entire aesthetic.

What matters most on wedding days is being able to stay as present as possible. To put your 100% focus on soaking every second of the day. My job, as the wedding photographer, is to ensure that you can do just that. Moments like giving your partner a handwritten love letter just moments before your first look reveal. Maybe the moment you see them for the first time, you hug them as if it had been ages since you’ve seen them. Those are the moments that are worth soaking every last bit in. Naz and Matthew had many of these moments.

Amongst a beautiful ceremony, the attention to detail and the decor were absolutely impeccable. Floral arrangements by Pink Dahlia Vintage made for an absolutely breathtaking space. Simultaneously all of the little details really came together beautifully, especially their signature cocktail sign/napkin dedicated to their Goldendoodle pup, Niko. The beginning, middle, and end of their special day were utter perfection. For couples dreaming of a wedding that combines elegance, natural beauty, and unforgettable moments, The Ashford Estate offers the perfect canvas to paint your love story. It surely was for Naz and Matthew!

Congratulations to Naz and Matthew – may your love continue to grow as beautifully as it began!
