Congratulations Liza & Trey! | Liza & Trey

Congratulations to Liza & Trey who were married at Grace Episcopal Church on Saturday, July 20th. After a beautiful ceremony at the church, guests made their way to Keswick Vineyards for cocktails and reception. Rick Olivarez Trio played jazz music while guests enjoyed wines from Keswick Vineyards and tasty hors d'oeuvres by 20 South Catering. Guests then proceeded to find their seat under the Sperry tent. The beauty of the tent was enhanced by the floral arrangements by Pat's Floral Design. Liza & Trey had rented some farm tables to be used as their head table which looked lovely with their decor. Guests worked up a sweat dancing the night away with DJ TD Layman of Sound Enforcement. And, what better way to finish the evening than to enjoy a delicious piece of wedding cake by Cakes Unlimited!

Thank you to the following vendors: 20 South Catering, DJ TD Layman, Pat's Floral Design, Cakes Unlimited, Barb Wired Event Planner, Festive Fare for rentals, UTS buses, Jazz Musicians Rick Olivarez Trio and Photographers Matt Stanton & Sarah.

Rita & Blake Are Married!!! | Rita & Blake

Congratulations to Rita and Blake who were married Saturday, July 13th, at Keswick Vineyards. It's been a pleasure to work with Rita's parents during the wedding planning months. It was such a wonderful experience to be part of their celebration. Once again, the relationship between Rita and her father is a very special one and their first look was so memorable. Their embrace lasted for minutes as they shared that special moment. I was lucky enough to be around to take some photo's of that moment as you will see below. Rita looked breathtaking in her traditional wedding gown. All the men wore seersucker suits with tan shoes that just looked perfect with the navy blue bridesmaids dresses. Throw in a dash of yellow with flowers and you have one beautiful looking wedding party! Mother Nature decided to bless their ceremony with a slight sprinkle right at the end of their ceremony. As their officiant said at the dinner blessing, those were tears of joy of the people watching from above. That little sprinkle provided some beautiful skies for some photo's which I couldn't help but take of the beautiful grounds surrounding Edgewood Estate.

Thank you to the following vendors for doing such an amazing job: Event Planner Anna Burke, 20 South Catering, DJ Richard Green, Katelyn James Photography out of Richmond, Flowers by Flower Girls Inc. out of Richmond, Favorite Cakes, Officiant Kevin James, rentals by MS Events and UVA Transportatio n for buses.

Vow Renewal for Cabell & Chase | Cabell & Chase

Congratulations to Cabell & Chase who renewed their wedding vows on Saturday, July 6th, at Keswick Vineyards. Over the past year, Keswick Vineyards has gotten to know this family very well. Some of you may recognize Cabell's parents who were one of the winning groups of our Consensus Blending Party (their picture is on the label!) It was great to celebrate with them this wonderful occasion. Love their idea of having a cigar bar during their cocktail hour and after reception. You will see that many of their guests enjoyed it. Was also taken by their corn hole boards that had LED lights around the opening so they could play into the darkness of the evening. How great is that?

Special thanks to the following vendors who did an outstanding job: Worthington Photography, Groovin’ Gourmets Catering, DJ Mark Allen, Ron Barker of CigarVolante LLC, Hair & Make-up by Moxie Salon, Flowers by Natalie, Cakes by Graham, Officiant Dr. Jim Lavendar, Musicians Belle Isle Strings, Skyline Tent Company and Albemarle Limousine for buses.

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 BBQ, DJ Andy Wilfong, Photographer Joy Gaba, Hair & Make-up by Judy Hayward, Officiant (and friend of couple) Peter Double and Albemarle Limousine.
