Lauren & Justin's Wedding! | Lauren & Justin

On Sunday, October 12th, Lauren & Justin were married at Keswick Vineyards by the former Mayor of Charlottesville, Dave Norris. The ceremony was simply beautiful with the Southwestern Mountain backdrop adorn with the start of fall colors. To top of the ceremony, Lauren's brother played a beautiful song on his guitar. Afterwards, while the guests were enjoying cocktail hour, the entire wedding party had some fun taking group photos. As you can see, the guys really were a bunch of super hero hams! I had just as much fun with the girls but those photos were taken on their camera so I can't share them but trust me, they were hilarious! Guest dined on some delicious food prepared by BBQ Exchange and danced the night away under the direction of DJ Dennis Payne. I love how the couple through out the evening would take their own "selfies" to remember their special moments.

Bethany & Ruben's "Dog" Wedding | Bethany & Ruben

Bethany & Ruben’s wedding ceremony definitely went to the dogs! On Saturday, October 11th, Bethany & Ruben were married at Keswick Vineyards surrounded by family, friends and LOTS of dogs! This is the first time that I have seen a precession with a dog accompanying each wedding party couple. These dogs did an amazing job and were so good for photos. Scraps, our local mascot wedding cat, wasn’t as thrilled with these four dogs being here. Thankfully we put her away while they were here or we really could of had some excitement! Ruben is quite the dancer. He definitely wins the award for being on the dance floor the most. You could just tell he loved it. I really enjoyed it when the DJ and Ruben were getting down with their dance moves. Bethany made good usage of wine corks that I haven’t seen used this way. She put a hole through the cork and then tied a ribbon to a label that had the guests name on it at each table setting. Simple yet very nice for a little winery touch to the decor. I also really liked the plaid shirts the guys wore with their suits. The purple colors mixed with grey just look so rich together. And lets not forget about desserts! So may different types of cupcakes to pick from and a lovely wedding cake with, of course, dogs on top of it!

Christine & Bill's Wedding Day | Christine & Bill

Congratulations to Christine & Bill who were married at Keswick Vineyards on Saturday, October 4th. With this being the first wedding for our fall season, Mother Nature provided us with beautiful blue skies with a crisp chill in the air. For the ceremony Christine & Bill included the blending of two sand colors to represent the blending of two into one. I love the containers they had for this. The guys looked extra sharp in their gray suits complemented with their Washington Redskin socks!

Megan & Andrew's Wedding Day | Megan & Andrew

Congratulations to Megan & Andrew who were married on Sunday, September 21st, at Keswick Vineyards. Another gorgeous day was provided to match this gorgeous couple. Megan just looked amazing in her wedding dress. The beaded details on the bodice looked stunning on her with the airy, flowy-ness of the bottom. Megan was able to design her wedding dress by picking the style she wanted for the top and then the style she wanted for the bottom. All I can say is she nailed it and looked amazing!!! The guys also were just as good looking in their grey suits. With the purple and orange accent colors in the flowers, wow! Everything just looked so nice. Verde Natural Florist did an amazing job with the flowers. The large arrangements for the ceremony on top of wine barrels looked just perfect at the end of an aisle lined with shepherd hooks with baby breath in mason jars. Megan’s bouquet was amazing also. Attached to it was a photo of her mother who lost her battle to breast cancer. In her memory, a card was at each table setting letting guests know that a donation to the Susan G. Komen Cancer Center was made in their name. Megan also included some photos of her Mother that were displayed on a ladder shelf. Her spirit was definitely felt. Guest enjoyed a delicious dinner prepared by The Local and danced the night away under the guidance of DJ T.D. Layman of Sound Enforcement. Can’t wait to see photos by Photographer Tyler Corvin.
