A Dreamy Autumn Fête at Veritas Vineyard & Winery
In the picturesque town of Afton, nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Ellen and Sam exchanged heartfelt vows during their joyous November wedding at the stunning Veritas Vineyard & Winery. Their autumn celebration was filled with natural beauty, vibrant hues, and intimate moments that perfectly reflected their love.
As dusk painted the mountains in watercolor hues, their ceremony unfolded against nature’s breathtaking canvas. Weathered wine barrels adorned with blush garden roses and trailing greenery framed a simple grass aisle, while rustic wooden lanterns and delicate white petals scattered among fallen autumn leaves enhanced the natural elegance of the space. Golden hour light bathed the scene in amber warmth as guests witnessed vows exchanged with vineyard rows and misty mountains standing sentinel in the distance—a timeless moment where pastoral beauty met profound human connection.
The reception took place in the winery’s elegant event space, where towering windows offered sweeping views of the rolling hills and vineyards. Candlelight and twinkling string lights added a warm, intimate glow, while guests savored a delectable meal prepared by Veritas Vineyards & Winery’s acclaimed culinary team. The couple’s wedding cake, created by Sugar & Salt, was a minimalist masterpiece, with smooth ivory buttercream tiers adorned solely with garden roses in blushing peach.
As the evening wore on, the lively melodies of Big Ray & The Kool Kats filled the air, and the dance floor came alive with energy. Ellen and Sam glided across the floor, their joyful expressions and loving gazes a testament to the magic of their union. From the quiet exchange of vows to their final moments of the evening, every significant moment was incredibly immortalized by Sarah Cramer Shields Photo capturing the essence of the day in timeless images.
