One Busy Bride! | Erin & Dan

When I first met Erin and Dan just over 4 months ago, I couldn't even imagine pulling a wedding together in that short of time; but then again, I didn't know Erin.  Erin is a hands on bride and did most of the planning and designing herself.  The bouquets and other floral arrangements she did.  She really has a hidden talent.  Erin also likes to bake pies and made all the desserts.  She had blueberry, peach and apple pie.  Her crust was delicious and she shared with me her secret but that will stay between us.  Dan was also a very helpful groom.  He came early to deliver all the items and help in any way he could.  I think it was cute how each bridesmaid wore a different color dress which matched the tie of the groomsmen they were paired with.  Erin and Dan chose to be married in front of Edgewood Estate near the fountain which provided a breathtaking backdrop for their ceremony.  Guest were bused in and enjoyed and evening of dining and dancing.  

Special thanks to the following vendors:  Buttz BBQDJ Andy Wilfong, Photographer Joy Gaba, Hair & Make-up by Judy Hayward, Officiant (and friend of couple) Peter Double and Albemarle Limousine.

A+B=Congratulations!!! | Amy & Benjamin

Congratulations to Amy & Benjamin who were married at Keswick Vineyards in Charlottesville on Saturday, June 29th.  What a beautiful and personal outdoor ceremony they had since it was Benjamin's Mother who performed it.  I was amazed how she was able to keep it together.  I would think that would be so hard to do; marrying your son.  Amy & Benjamin had a very busy year leading up to this day.  Both of them are doctors and had just finished their residency and also moved.  It was great to see them relaxing and enjoying their day with family and friends.  Both of them are UVA graduates, along with most of their friends, so you know they had a great time!  

None of this would of been possible without the help from the following vendors:  Catering by Harvest Moon, DJ Derek Tobler, Musician for ceremony & cocktail hour Peter Richardson, Event Planner Cate Liverman, Photographer Marirosa Anderson, Blue Ridge Florals, Cakes by Rachel, University Transit Services for buses and MS Events.

Ashley & Michael's Wedding Day | Ashley & Michael

Congratulations to Ashley & Michael who were married at Keswick Vineyards wedding venue on Saturday, June 22nd.  Once again, Mother Nature did her job by providing beautiful weather for their Charlottesville wedding.  Not only did Ashley & Michael have beautiful weather during the day, but they had a super moon that evening that rarely happens.  It is when the moons distance is the closest it will get to earth.  This couple was full of creativity as you will see by a couple of photo's.  I love the idea of having their guests make thumb prints on a drawing of a vineyard.  Each thumb print was a grape of the vine!  What a beautiful keepsake to hang in their home.  I also like how they used old shutters to display their guests table assignments.  

Special thanks to the following vendors:  Catering by C&O, Event Planner Barb Wired, DJ T.D.

Congratulations Susan & John | Susan & John

Congratulations to Susan & John who were married at Keswick Vineyards on Saturday, June 15th. The day before we had a wedding with a lot of guests flying in from South Africa. This wedding had many guests that had flown in from Korea for Susan & John's Charlottesville wedding! That is what makes my job so great; to meet people I never would have the opportunity to meet and hear family stories from them. It was a wonderful site to see many of the guest wearing traditional Korean garments. They are so colorful!
