It was my first time at the GORGEOUS Keswick Vineyards close to Charlottesville, Virginia and my mouth dropped when I arrived to the venue. I’m a sucker for mountain views so my heart was filled with excitement when it came to portrait time! The heat made things interesting as we tried to avoid the sun as much as possible … it was that kind of summer heat. Come to find out that blistering heat gave me a heat rash on Saturday… it’s was a HOT day to say the least but everyone made it through which must mean everyone was staying hydrated. 🙂
I absolutely love the humor of Ken and Elaine! We finished up with portraits and Ken was absolutely shocked to learn that you could not even notice how hot they were in the photos. Ken said that she’s married to him now so she’s going to have to love all of his sweat. Haha! Not to mention their first dance was so cute and FUN! They danced to “Come and Get Your Love” by Red Bone. Typically, you wouldn’t hear this as a first dance song but OMGosh I was singing the song all night long and even the next morning. They choreographed the dance to be fun just like them! Speaking of the reception, I about died when I heard Emily (Elaine’s Maid of Honor) said during her speech that she first thought that Elaine was dating Charlie Day! Funny thing is that I told Elaine during our final meeting together that I honestly thought I was really photographing Charlie Day during their engagement session! I freaked out and even had to look it up on Google to make sure during a break of our session. He of course isn’t but it was funny that I’m not the only one who thought this. 😉
Thank you Ken and Elaine for giving me the privilege of photographing your sweet and fun loving wedding day!!! You made it fun from start to finish and hope that this day only starts you to a bright and beautiful future ahead! XOXO!
“Come and Get Your Love” … SO cute!
We snuck out for some “sunset portrait”. Even though it was thundering in the distance, I’m so glad we took the time to take photos in the not super hot conditions we were in earlier that day. 🙂
THIS happened!!! LOL! I don’t think I have ever seen anything like this before. It was hot outside so why not! Hahah!
CONGRATS!!!! XOXO!
