Shannon & Davis' October 8th Wedding | Shannon & Davis

On Saturday, October 8th, Shannon & Davis were married at Keswick Vineyards!  Shannon was escorted down the aisle by her Mother while she had a locket attached to her bouquet with a photo of her father who had recently passed.  The ceremony was beautiful and I was taken by how Davis just couldn't take his eyes off of Shannon.  He just kept looking at her with that look of amazement.  The two of them kept saying how it felt like they were looking at someone else's wedding.  They couldn't believe that this was their wedding.  Their true excitement showed all night long on their faces.  

The evening couldn't of happened without the help of the following vendors:  Tom Daly Photography, Claire Goodman Officiant, Charlottesville Cupcake, Caterer Hank's Smokehouse, Blue Ridge Floral, T.D. Layman of Sound Enforcement as DJ, and Jessica Trembley as Wedding Director.  Below are some photo's I took but to get a sneak peak at their professional photo's by photographer Tom Daly, click here.

Amanda & Brian's October 1st Wedding | Amanda & Brian

On Saturday, October 1st, Amanda & Brian exchanged their wedding vows at a beautiful, outdoor ceremony at Keswick Vineyards.  What a beautiful couple Amanda & Brian made.  It sure makes it easy for us want-to-be photographers.  The two of them really out did themselves with the decorating.  The flowers for the ceremony and the centerpieces on the tables were incredible!  The centerpieces were on top of these 3-4 foot high clear glass vases that just made such a striking statement.  Skyline tent did an amazing job lighting the tent with wall washers and hanging oriental light balls from the ceiling.  I've never seen our Sperry tent look more beautiful then I did that night.  The food, the music, the cake, the bridal party, everything was incredible and I'm so happy that Amanda & Brian chose Keswick Vineyards to celebrate their special day.  Congratulations to the both of you and please come back for a visit.  

Special thanks to all the vendors that night including Barb Wired as the Event Director, Hot Cakes for catering & wedding cake, Skyline Tent Company for lighting and decorations, Linden Trio for ceremony & cocktail music, T.D. Layman with Sound Enforcement as the DJ, Brian Purcell the officiant, Flowers by Natalie, Tom Sanderson Photography, Starring You Productions as videography, make-up by Jeanne Cusick and hair by Moxie Hair & Body Lounge.

Shannon & Zac's September 24th Wedding | Shannon & Zac

All of the wood knocking worked for Zac.  All day I would tell him that it wasn't going to rain and he would make everyone knock on wood.  I'm happy to say that Shannon & Zac had NO rain for their entire wedding day!  The weather was perfect with the over cast skies. Shannon & Zac were married by Erik Bonkovsky after a 7 1/2 year relationship on September 24th, 2011 at Keswick Vineyards.  Shannon was escorted down the aisle by her father while harpist Eve Watters played.  Some of the most beautiful bouquets and centerpieces were done by Blue Ridge Florist.  Guests enjoyed food prepared by Groovin' Gourmets out of Richmond and played yard games while photographer Don Mears and his wife Lindsay took photo's of the couple and their families.  After dinner the guests danced the night away under the Sperry tent, provided by Skyline Tent Company, with DJ Derek Tobler.  The evening was spectacular and a special thanks for the crew from Barb Wired for handling all the details to make Shannon & Zac's wedding a day they will never forget.  Congratulations!  To view a blog from Style Me Pretty's Little Black Book featuring photo's from Don Mears, click here. Click on this link to see even more photo's by Don Mears Photography.

Erin & Levi's Wedding | Erin & Levi

On September 17th, 2011, Erin & Levi were married by Rev. Richard Fichter at Keswick Vineyards.  Erin had worried for the past week regarding the cold front and rain that was heading our way.  She prayed and prayed and her prayers were answered.  What a beautiful day her and Levi had for their all outdoor ceremony and reception.  It was like her prayers were answered when the sun peaked out from behind the clouds right when her ceremony began.  Erin shared with me a story of how her and Levi had buried a bottle of bourbon, upside down, that is suppose to give you good weather on your wedding day if you do this exactly a month before your wedding day.  Looks like that worked!  The overcast skies made it a dream for photographer Cat Thrasher as she captured every moment of the evening.  Guests enjoyed food prepared by 20 South Catering and dance the night away under the command of DJ T.D. Layman with Sound Enforcement.  Special thanks to Verde Natural Florals, MS Events and Barb Wired.
