When Things Just "Click"! | Brett & Katherine

Oct 13

Written By Keswick

Every now and then a couple comes along to Keswick Vineyards and things just click. That was how it felt when I met Kat and Brett leading up to their big wedding day on October 13th, 2019. Right from the beginning we hit it off fantastically and we were there every step of the way following their progress in wedding planning as though it was our own wedding! We were thrilled when they had the beautiful fall day they were hoping for and all of the wonderful autumn colors began to shine.

Naturally, Brett and Kat chose to get married in our “Fall Location”. Aptly named as you can tell from the photos! Choosing this area for your ceremony allows your guests (and photographer) a panoramic view of the estate, fountain, vineyards and mountains and all the autumn colors that come with it. The gorgeous fall weather was accented by all the beautiful touches that Kat and Brett brought to their celebration.

One of my favorites of these special touches were the boutonnieres for the children (of which there were quite a few). They all had little golden dinosaurs on them! They had a large role to play in the wedding as the wagon bearers escorted the flower girl down the aisle…. Quite possibly one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen! Then the elaborate golden frame that had their table seating chart. It was very stately and made a wonderful impression as guests entered the tent.

One lesson learned from this wedding: When performing the southern tradition of “burying the bourbon”, choose a bottle of bourbon that ISN’T super tall! I will never forget when Brett and Kat came to bury their bottle one month before their wedding and they bought a special bottle that shared their initials. It was a wonderful idea and a great bottle of bourbon if not rather tall. However, when it came time to digging… it was a more laborious effort than any of us imagined getting the hole deep enough for that bottle! A humorous moment that I will think fondly on as many more weddings in the future perform the same tradition.
