Ashford Estate Engagement Photo shoot with Nicole and Chris

By New Jersey Wedding Photographer Kay English

Hey everyone! Since it’s the last few weeks of winter, I wanted to share this amazing Christmas themed engagement shoot with Nicole and ChrisThe lovely bride Nicole, had a great idea to go to a Christmas tree farm and to dress in several different cute outfits! We started up at the farm and then ended up at the gorgeous Weddings of Distinction NJ Ashford Estate in Allentown, New Jersey.

At the Christmas tree farm in Allentown, New Jersey, Nicole wore the cutest winter flannel and high boots with dark jeans, and Christ wore a matching green sweater and peacoat with a hat. I had a fun idea to bring fake snow, even though it was technically snowing/raining. But it was fun to use in the photo shoot and added that extra pop to the photosI loved the red bows on the Christmas trees and all of the sparkle lights and Christmas props including a “Tis the season” sign. Nicole and Chris had the cutest puppy Millie, who we placed Christmas garland on for the photoWe also took photos on a vintage sled by the trees! After some more photos with the evergreens, we headed over to the Ashford Estate and it was time for an outfit change! Nicole changed into a GORGEOUS red dress and nude high heels. Chris wore a really nice suit and tie which was perfect for the estate background. Even though it was very cold, Nicole and Chris were troopers and really were so much fun to work with and showed so much emotion in their photos! One of my favorite photos is the first one all the way to the right below, where Chris picked up Nicole in a dancing pose. They are just so fun and so natural in front of the camera and I cannot WAIT for their upcoming wedding this week!
