Rachael & Tucker FINALLY Get Married!!!! | Rachael & Tucker
Well, it was a LONG day coming but it finally happened. Rachael & Tucker were married at Keswick Vineyards on Saturday, May 17th. The weather was just perfect with sunny, blue skies with big, puffy clouds. Rachael & her Mother spent a great deal of time planning this wedding and all their hard work definitely showed. I think the one who was most amazed by all their work was Rachael's father. I could feel his excitement through out the day as time for the ceremony got closer and closer. He hadn't seen his daughter yet and you could just tell how excited he was for that moment to see her. Realizing his excitement as he waited for Rachael to make her appearance, I decided to create a "first look" moment for the two of them. Just before walking her down the aisle, I had her father turn away while Rachael came from behind and tapped him on his shoulder. When he turned to see her, well, let’s just say he had that moment every Father dreams about. Moments like that make my job so rewarding. That was definitely my most memorable moment from this wedding.
Special thanks to the following vendors for making Rachael & Tucker's long awaited Charlottesville wedding day so special: Cater 2 Events Catering, DJ Rob Jefferson, Musicians Luke Saunders, Photographer Sarah Saunders, Makeup Artist Liz Allums, Pearls Bakery, Officiant Joe Marks and MS Events for rentals.
Elaine & Jonathan's Wedding Day | Elaine & Jonathan
What a beautiful Charlottesville winery wedding Elaine & Jonathan had at Keswick Vineyards on Saturday, May 10th. The day started off not so great with rain. It definitely looked like we were going to have to use our rain plan for this day and we did. Fortunately, with Keswick Vineyards on-site Sperry Tent, the rain just provided more opportunities for a beautiful ceremony under the tent as you can see from the photos below. Guest either sat on the dance floor or at their tables and witnessed this beautiful union. The rain did stop just before the ceremony which allowed for beautiful photos afterwards. Elaine is Korean and Jonathan is Chinese so the blend of these two cultures was so lovely to see. I really enjoyed some of Elaine's family that had flown in from Korea and wore their Korean gowns. It was such a treat to see these ladies perform a Korean folklore song and dance later in the evening. The most memorable moment for me from this wedding had to be when Jonathan and his sister performed for everyone on their violin and cello. You could have heard a pin drop while they played. Not everyday you get to witness such talent. Oh, did I mention how much dancing went on???? These guests just couldn't stop dancing and boy did they have the moves! So many incredible, memorable moments from this wedding so thank you so much for allowing Keswick Vineyards to be part of your special day.

Maggie & Robert's Wedding Day | Maggie & Robert
Congratulations to Maggie & Robert who were married at Keswick Vineyards on Saturday, May 3rd. Thank you Mother Nature for providing us such beautiful weather for this special Charlottesville wedding. Maggie's bouquet is what stands out the most for me from this wedding. Sandy, the owner of Verde Natural Florist, did an outstanding job with the flowers. The colors of the bouquet were simple magnificent! Maggie's mother had sewn wedding rings from other family marriages attached to her bouquet to represent the strength of marriages within that family. What a beautiful gesture. Maggie did most of the decorating herself including designing the arbor used for the ceremony.

Layman of Sound Enforcement, Plum Blossom String Quartet, Photographer Cheryl Finnegan with Elisa B Photography, Hair & Make-up Artist Alison Harper & Co., Verde Natural Florals, Favorite Cakes, Officiant Brian Purcell, Rentals by Festive Fare, Carpe Donut, Albemarle Limousine and Real Southern Accents for making the arbor.
Non-Stop Dancing for This Wedding! | Jennifer & Dan
Jennifer and Dan had one fun Charlottesville vineyard wedding on Saturday, April 26th, at Keswick Vineyards. I've never seen such a fun, dancing group of guest as I have from this wedding. With Jennifer's family being from the Dominion Republic, guests danced the night away to Spanish music and brought that rhythm with them. The energy coming from that dance floor was amazing! I don't think I ever saw Jennifer not dancing. Did I mention how beautiful Jennifer looked? Breathtaking is all I can say. There was a moment when she was coming down the stairs heading out to the ceremony when the sunlight hit her just right to create one of those moments. Wish I would of gotten that one with my camera. Southern Inn Catering did a great job creating food stations for the reception. I love how they used shadow boxes to display the desserts for the evening. Jennifer's sister Newsy did an amazing job acting as her wedding coordinator. Newsy's daughter was one of the flower girls who wore the cutest dress. What a great job she did!
