Shana & Joe

Shana and Joe’s October Charlottesville wedding delivered endless autumn beauty set in rich forest green and deep ruby notes. Early Mountain Vineyards stunned in countryside bliss as planners with Anyvent composed the sunny fall fete, flowing from a simple ceremony space overlooking late-season vineyard rows, wild lavender and rustic barns to a sunset champagne cocktail hour on the terrace.
 
Floral designers from The Posey Detail built natural feminine bouquets of pink, ivory and canary roses wrapped in fall foliage and green leafing, calling in vineyard wine barrels and a striking reception mantelpiece to elevate the breathtaking blooms.
 
Using conventional film photography and an eye for genuine memorable moments, Danielle James orchestrated a fairytale bridal shoot against pastoral fencing and infinite autumn colors blanketing hillsides and treetops. Wedding party portraits beamed in soft sand bridesmaids’ gowns and black groomsmen suits and suspenders backdropped by sunlit vineyard vistas while the couple’s adorable dog smiled politely in his little black bowtie.
 
MS Events set a glowing reception space in ruby linens, handcrafted farm tables, timeless crystal, Prescott lanterns and soft candlelight. The distinguished Early Mountain Vineyards catering team wowed with a seasonal locally grown meal to remember and Bittersweet Bakery delighted with traditional wedding cake.
