After booking their wedding two years in advance, Katie and Brad's big day was finally here! It was a cold January day in Hainesport NJ, but that didn't hinder the excitement that was in the air. I arrived at the Bradford Estate and headed up the bridal suite to meet Katie for bridal prep. Let me just say, the bridal suite at this venue is absolutely amazing. Not only is it a huge space with a gorgeous chandelier, but the windows provide the most amazing light to showcase our bride and her maids.
Katie looked absolutely stunning with her soft curls cascading down her back, natural makeup to accent her baby blues, and of course that beautiful smile. She didn't seem nervous at all and was very present, just enjoying the day with all the ladies that support her.
After scoping out the various areas of our venue, I found the perfect spot for a first look! The back of the building is filled with more luxurious windows that reflect the trees, creek and sky making a dreamy backdrop.
After the first look, we went into portraits and the timing we chose was perfect for the sunset!
The pergola was a fantastic setting for bridal party portraits!
Once portraits were done, we went inside and warmed up. The bridal party all handled the freezing temperatures like champs! After an intimate ceremony inside and cocktail hour in the neighboring space, the reception began. This has to be my all time favorite bridal party entrance! Flip cup anyone???
My favorite part of the reception is sneaking out of the party with the couple for some night shots! It gives the brige and groom a nice quiet moment of reflection together, not to mention some stunning end-of-night photos in front of all the lights!
Congratulations to the happy couple!
