Favorite Spots to Photograph:
At Crossed Keys Estate, the possibilities for capturing stunning photographs are endless. Here are a few of our favorite spots to photograph:
The Grounds: Crossed Keys Estate has a gorgeous property featuring over 20+ acres of gardens and grounds. Plus, with a wooden swing tree, reflecting pond, and all of the natural surroundings, there are so many beautiful options for portraits! We love the playful vibes that this property evokes.
Ceremony Garden: While the garden can be used for your ceremonies, it’s also perfect for portraits! Inspired by English gardens, the stone wall is the perfect backdrop for photos and your biggest moments. It’s elegant and effortlessly beautiful!
Farmhouse: Crossed Keys Estate has both a conservatory and a farmhouse available for your cocktail hour and reception. Both are stunning and are great options for photos if you want (or need, due to weather). We personally love the farmhouse because of the incredible 40 foot windows overlooking the countryside! You can’t beat the view or natural light.
What We Love about Crossed Keys Estate
Onsite Prep: The family built 2 locations for prep on wedding mornings and they’re both stunning. You can always tell when a space was built with weddings in mind, and these two rooms at Crossed Keys Estate definitely were. Oh, and did we mention yet that Crossed Keys Estate is pet-friendly?! Bring your furry family member for your portraits or ceremony!
