Rachael & Carolyn

In the charming town of Charlottesville, Virginia, Rachael and Carolyn celebrated their love in November with a vibrant and joyful wedding at the rustic yet elegant Potter's Craft Cider. Their day overflowed with natural beauty, romantic details, and personal touches that made the celebration truly unforgettable.

​

Guests were greeted by a stunning floral installation at the entrance, showcasing a kaleidoscope of deep red roses, lush purple dahlias, and delicate baby's breath. The ceremony unfolded in the South Hall, where the venue’s historic stone walls and the warm glow of string lights created an enchanting backdrop. Surrounded by this timeless beauty, Rachael and Carolyn exchanged heartfelt vows, filling the space with pure emotion and joy.

For the reception, the space transformed into a cozy, intimate setting. Wooden tables were adorned with lush centerpieces of seasonal foliage, flickering candles, and vibrant floral arrangements. Guests sipped on signature cocktails and savored delectable hors d'oeuvres prepared by the talented on-site catering team. A breathtaking three-tier cake from Maliha Cakery—adorned with handwritten poetry, torn-edge detailing, and vibrant fuchsia roses against smooth white fondant, added a perfect artistic touch to the evening.

As the night wore on, Rachael and Carolyn swayed to the music beneath a canopy of twinkling lights, surrounded by the laughter and love of their closest friends and family. Every tender glance, joyful embrace, and radiant smile was beautifully preserved by Sarah Cramer Shields Photo, whose romantic imagery captured the true spirit of their unforgettable day.
