In the thick of winter, nothing makes me happier than sharing some sweet memories of Amy and Matt’s Grace Winery Wedding. It’s one of the only weddings I shot hybrid, both digital and film, and I am so proud of that fact. Film is stunning, albeit a bit scare (hello where is the preview screen?? Oh… Right…), and I knew Amy and Matt would be the perfect couple to incorporate film with. You might not even be able to tell which photos below are film and which are digital…. and that’s the goal!
This was my first time shooting at Grace Winery, and it was everything I could have dreamed of! Not only are the old stone buildings and red barn full of charm and history, but the staff were all incredibly warm and helpful. And don’t get me started on the food! Amy and Matt had their ceremony in a grassy knoll behind the barn. It almost reminded me of an outdoor theater, with benches built into the earth. Matt built the wedding arch, and all of the florals….well…. that was Amy and Matt!
For me, one of the highlights of the day was sunset portraits in the vineyard. We somehow hit the vineyard at the perfect time and soaked in all of the orange sunset goodness. More than anything, I love how Matt and Amy’s joy is so perfectly captured. If you ever get a chance to meet them, they’ll become your favorite people 🙂
For sure one of my favorite weddings of the year!
Sean could barely contain his excitement when he heard Kaitlyn’s dress rustling as she walked up behind him. He had been waiting to see his bride for the first time under an ivy covered trellis while the sun peeked in and out of the clouds. Behind him, his bride was framed in bright autumn colors that seem to dissapear as soon as they arrive. As Kaitlyn approached and Sean turned to see her, there was nothing but love filling the air. Their first look is one I will never forget, along with the rest of their day.
