If you’re looking for dramatic and sophisticated look no further than Ashford Estate. The Estate was acquired by the Browne family and transformed into a 17th century French chateau. This stunning estate sits on hundreds of acres of preserved farmland adorned with fountains, waterfalls, stone ruins, and beautiful gardens. Weddings at Ashford are so elegant which makes it easy for a photographer to get the perfect dreamy shots.













I’m a sucker for a first look with dad’s. The emotions captured are something really special. Dad’s usually have feelings of nostalgia, pride, and usually some happy tears. Morgan and her dad had the perfect first look followed by a sweet moment with their immediate family. They were able to step away and have a moment for just the four of them.















I will always be a fan of private vows. It gives couples some time to be with each other before the day gets crazy. It also gives privacy for couples who want to keep their vows just between the two of them. This offers a more comfortable setting with less eyes on you as you share intimate thoughts and reflect on your relationship together. Morgan and Billy had a secluded spot by the gazebo which offered a tranquil setting that calmed their nerves and let them have a special moment together.











One thing couples always ask for are candid photos. It’s something that can’t be staged but I am always looking for organic moments during the day. Morgan and Billy’s day was full of the perfect candid moments. From Morgan getting to greet her grandma as she showed up to later dancing with grandparents at the reception and many other special moments throughout the day.




















The best part about booking both Patrick and myself is that we work so well together and really enhance each other’s businesses. When Patrick is there he is able to bring his drone and get epic drone shots for couples. In Morgan and Billy’s case this included shots of the full property as well as couples portraits.
