Hartsell Wedding

I arrived at Barren Ridge Vineyards a few moments before the bride and groom. And I’m glad I did. Otherwise, I would have missed the arrival of the soon-to-be-wed couple who casually strolled in the back door, wedding dress in hand, wind blown hair and beaming, relaxed contentment settled into their eyes. At first sight of their freshly decorated tables they both became vocally excited and thrilled that it was here. Their wedding day was finally here.  They rushed to different rooms to change and in a few short moments they were embracing and celebrating once again. The wind carried the time away as we wandered around the hills and vines of the vineyards with a Dalmatian in tow. Their family joined and later their friends and before we knew it the sun left the sky and guests enjoyed an epic first dance, a wonderful gourmet meal, smooth wine, toasts, stories, and lots of dancing. Congrats and cheers to you both, Amy and Kelly!bsomeIMG_0830 bsomeIMG_0823 bsomeIMG_0816 bsomeIMG_0808 bsomeIMG_0813 bsomeIMG_0854bsomeIMG_1025bsomeIMG_1030 bsomeIMG_0872bw bsomeIMG_0878bsomeIMG_0888bsomeIMG_0898bsomeIMG_0895bsomeIMG_0906bwbsomeIMG_0905bsomeIMG_0920bsomeIMG_0926bsomeIMG_0935bsomeIMG_0799bsomeIMG_0955bsomeIMG_0957bsomeIMG_0947bsomeIMG_0951bsomeIMG_0949bsomeIMG_0938bsomeIMG_0940bwbsomeIMG_0963bsomeIMG_0971cbsomeIMG_0968bsomeIMG_0978bwbsomeIMG_0986bsomeIMG_0984bwbsomeIMG_0983bwbsomeIMG_0995bsomeIMG_1009bsomeIMG_1016bsomeIMG_1006bsomeIMG_1151bsomeIMG_1156bsomeIMG_1130bsomeIMG_1137bsomeIMG_1062bsomeIMG_1107bsomeIMG_1119bsomeIMG_1125bsomeIMG_1159bsomeIMG_1163bsomeIMG_1145bsomeIMG_1174bsomeIMG_1188bsomeIMG_1194bsomeIMG_1196bsomeIMG_1186bsomeIMG_1201bsomeIMG_1209bsomeIMG_1212bsomeIMG_1236bsomeIMG_1244bsomeIMG_1280bwbsomeIMG_1289bsomeIMG_1302bsomeIMG_1448bsomeIMG_1572bwbsomeIMG_1577bwbsomeIMG_1445bsomeIMG_1584bsomeIMG_1695bsomeIMG_1679bsomeIMG_1713bsomeIMG_1618bsomeIMG_1642bsomeIMG_1675bwbsomeIMG_1745bwbsomeIMG_1580bwCupcakes & Cake: The Cupcake Company | Dress: Kathleen Temple, Tailor | Custom knitted shaw: Knitting Savant |Caterer: TASTE. | Florist: Joy Shank Coakley of The Weekend Florist | Venue: Barren Ridge Vineyards

 

 

Thompson Family

I’ll admit it. I was a little nervous agreeing to do a photoshoot for fellow photographer Kristina Thompson.  And of course the forecast (80% chance of rain) didn’t help matters. But when you’re a mom with a baby boy and two princess daughters, getting everyone cleaned and dressed at the same time (on the same day) is no easy task. This shoot was happening! I met Krissy, Dave and their three beautiful children at Barren Ridge Vineyards. We headed out back to their covered patio space to start the shoot and after a few laughs and snaps, the rain stopped just long enough to get some shots with the gorgeous backdrop at the vineyard.
