Crossed Keys Estate Summer of {flower} Love Wedding Inspiration

When one of my favorite wedding venues in New Jersey, Crossed Keys Estate, presented the opportunity to shoot what may possibly be their first every Inspirational Styled Shoot, I was ALL over it! If there is any silver lining to this pandemic, it is that I was able to get together and collaborate with some of my all-time favorite NJ vendors to create an absolutely gorgeous scene at the new Farmhouse!

This floral installation that Crossed Keys Designs created for our interior photos was a DREAM! Seriously, this design behind a sweetheart table would be beyond.

The new, modern and elegant Farmhouse is super gorgeous- the exterior boasts a chic, timeless, crisp white paint job with stone, glass and wood accents. The interior is jaw-dropping, with fabulous floor to ceiling windows, massive chandeliers, and a stunning bridal suite (with super cool tile in the bathroom). There is nothing like it in New Jersey!

I shot a mix of film (I used a mix of Fuji and Portra) and digital and our focus was to capture some of the amazing indoor spaces as well as the outdoor. We didn’t have a set vision for the day- we really just wanted things to flow and to make something beautiful because it was on our heart to do so. In the process, a bit of a boho theme emerged. But it also felt a bit like summer love. Sweet, fresh and carefree.

Also, can you believe this image below on the right was taken in the bridal suite bathroom?! What!?

Outside, our model was able to literally frolicked in a field of wildflowers!

As sad as I am for them and the couples that have had to postpone their weddings due to Covid + the restrictions, to be able to see this space in all its shiny, new glory made me so excited for the couples that WILL enjoy the space next year. The team at Crossed Keys Estate have put so much love and attention into the gardens and interior spaces.
