Laura & Christian's Fall Wedding | Laura & Christian

Laura & Christian were married on Saturday, November 2nd, and had the fortune of the peak of fall colors for their wedding day.  Photographer Elizabeth Larson and myself just couldn't get enough of this couple with the beautiful colors and lighting Mother Nature was giving us.  Please excuse the excessive photos I'm including but sometimes you just can't help yourself and this was one of those times.  Laura & Christian incorporated into their ceremony the sealing of a wine box with love letters in it with a special bottle of wine.  I love when couples do this.  Another cute detail to their wedding was stacking dolls on tables to represent Christian's Russian inheritance.  This couple was just full of fun and silliness which definitely came through on some of the photos with their wedding party.  Instead of the traditional wedding cake, Laura & Christian opted for a dessert table with tasty pastries and Carpe Donut truck for dessert.  What a wonderful wedding these two had.

Rachel & Sean's Wedding Day | Rachel & Sean

Rachel & Sean were married at Keswick Vineyards on Sunday, October 27th on a colorful Charlottesville fall day.  I love how Rachel & Sean chose to have their wedding ceremony in what I call our "fall" location.  It gives you the best of everything for a backdrop.  You have the Estate, the fountain, the vineyard, the mountains and all the fall colors!  Hard to capture it all in a photo since you are basically surrounded with breathtaking views.  Rachel incorporated just enough orange in her color scheme to blend with the natural fall colors.  Her bouquet by Verde Natural Florist was right on and the simplicity of the centerpieces were perfect!  Love the idea of using old shutters to put place cards in for guests to find their table.  Also, love the look of using an old door as a table top above wine barrels to create a sweet table.

Thanks to the following vendors that make weddings here so effortless for our couples:  Caterer Exchange Evnts, DJ Andy Wilfong, Photographer Audra WrisleyVerde Natural Florist, Officiant Steve Farmer, rentals by MS Events and Musician Peter Markush.

Lindsey & Joshua's Wedding Day | Lindsey & Joshua

Congratulations to Lindsay & Joshua who were married at Keswick Vineyards in Charlottesville on Saturday, October 26th.  What a gorgeous Virginia fall day!  The fall colors are really starting to show now.  It would have been nice perhaps 10 degrees warmer, or at least get rid of the wind that day, but all in all everything was perfect!  Check out the chuppah from Verde Natural Florist.  Sandy and her husband Peter did an amazing job building and decorating it.  It blended perfectly with the backdrop of the vineyard.  Funniest part of the ceremony was when Joshua tried to break the glass to symbol the conclusion of the ceremony.  That glass just wouldn't break!  He tried, and tried, and tried again.  Finally someone gave him a rock.  Can't wait to see the video of that moment.  Guest then went from the outdoor ceremony to inside the heated Sperry tent for cocktails and reception.  Guest enjoyed a delicious family style dinner prepared by 20 South Catering and then danced the night away.
