Timeless Summer Wedding at The Ashford Estate | Dana + Reid

Ashford Estate | Allentown, NJ

Dana and Reid celebrated their love in a dreamy summer wedding at The Ashford Estate, a historic wedding venue nestled within the preserved farmland of central New Jersey, just outside of the storybook Allentown Village. Their wedding day was full of genuine joy and laughter. From the start of the day, their joy set the stage for an unforgettable celebration against the backdrop of this picturesque venue. I had the pleasure of working with Jennifer Larsen to capture this stunning summer wedding at The Ashford Estate.

Their Wedding Day

Dana and Reid exuded genuine happiness that was palpable throughout the entire day, starting from the first moments in the morning when Dana, surrounded by her bridesmaids, shared tons of laughter as they navigated the intricate buttons on her dress. It was a beautiful display of friendship that added a sweet memory to the getting ready portion of the day. Dana’s choice of elegant pearl jewelry and white floral bouquet with touches of greenery added a classic charm to her overall bridal look.

Reid’s infectious, high-energy spirit brought event more fun to the day! Throughout the day, he danced enthusiastically, ensuring that his bride-to-be, family, friends, and even us vendors were having the time of their lives.

The ceremony unfolded like a fairytale, complete with a string quartet playing, a gazebo, and a floral display framing Dana and Reid as they said their vows. The romantic ambiance of the music, tears, and laughter throughout their vows and the estate garden backdrop created a wedding ceremony that perfectly captured their love.

As the day transitioned into the evening, the ballroom at The Ashford Estate transformed into a magical space where Dana, Reid, and their loved ones danced the night away. The ballroom is an architectural masterpiece, with a back wall entirely made of glass, a large round marble dance floor, and stunning chandeliers hung up on the high ceilings above. Each moment captured reflected the genuine and authentic nature of their celebration.
