Alyssa and Daniel celebrated their October wedding at the breathtaking Veritas Vineyards & Winery, nestled in the rolling hills of Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains. With panoramic vineyard views and the soft glow of autumn light, their day unfolded as a romantic celebration of love, color, and intimate connection.

Planned by Ashley Baber Weddings, the design embraced the richness of the season with jewel-toned florals and natural textures that blended effortlessly with the surroundings. Alyssa wore an elegant off-the-shoulder gown with a flowing skirt, her look perfectly complemented by Daniel’s sophisticated deep plum suit. Their florals, thoughtfully curated by The Arrangement Company, featured a striking palette of burgundy, purple, and blue, like a living still life in full bloom.

The ceremony took place beneath a floral arch that mirrored the landscape’s natural splendor, setting the tone for a day rooted in beauty and intentional detail. Inside the reception space, white draping and twinkling string lights created a soft, ethereal atmosphere. Large windows invited in the golden evening light, casting a warm glow over wooden interiors and vineyard views.

Reception tables were adorned with lush dahlias, anemones, and wildflowers nestled in greenery, accented by tall glass candles and golden votives. Deep crimson napkins offered a bold contrast, adding drama and richness to the setting. Guests savored local wines and craft cocktails, along with a curated charcuterie spread that highlighted the flavors of Virginia wine country. Instead of a traditional cake, the couple served pies from The Pie Chest.

Sarah Cramer Shields, joined by Jeffrey C. Gleason Photography, didn’t just photograph the day, they moved through it with a quiet, thoughtful presence, capturing not only the grand moments but the in-between ones: the way Alyssa's gown brushed the vineyard path, the way Daniel looked at her just before the vows, the laughter between old friends. Each frame felt like a page from a love story, preserving the spirit of the day with warmth and intention. Silver Streak Weddings brought the same artistry to film, creating a visual keepsake full of movement, emotion, and timeless charm.

Alyssa and Daniel’s wedding at Veritas Vineyards & Winery was the perfect blend of refined elegance and rustic charm. An unforgettable autumn day full of heart, beauty, and the magic of the mountains.
