Filipino Wedding Photographers | Trump Winery Grand Hall

The Grand Hall and Chapel at Trump Winery are breathtaking in the views and architecture, which is why it is one of our favorite wedding venues in Charlottesville, and we get so excited whenever we have an event scheduled there. So, when Hazel and Jerry chose us to be their Filipino wedding photographers, we couldn’t wait for their big day to arrive! Hazel and Jerry envisioned a romantic and classic wedding ceremony, while incorporating important aspects from their Filipino heritage. The wedding invitations were even made in the Philippines, which we thought were so elegant and beautiful!

On the day of the wedding, the flowers and decorations popped with hues of navy, apricot, and blush. The bride and her squad got ready in their robes, with “Mrs. Verghese” embroidered on the back of Hazel’s robe. Then, Hazel and Jerry shared a private first look together in the stunning Chapel at Trump Winery. Hazel’s five-foot long veil made for some dramatic and elegant photos! We captured some pretty great photos with her bridesmaids playfully holding her veil in the breeze, too.

There was a last-minute change in ceremony location as Mother Nature decided not to cooperate, but Hazel and Jerry didn’t miss a beat! After a beautiful traditional Filipino ceremony, the guests enjoyed the most gorgeous wedding reception in the Trump Winery Grand Hall. We absolutely loved all of the evergreen trees and shrubs from Bill Campbell’s Botanical Services, it truly transformed the Grand Hall and made you feel like you were in a Botanical Garden! We would highly recommend this for all of our couples wanting a luxury wedding reception atmosphere (without the luxury pricing).

The couple enjoyed their night surrounded by loved ones, including a song performed by the bride’s sister, a dance prepared by the bride’s niece and nephew, and the prosperity dance (or money dance, where the guests pin money to the bride and groom). It is unique and special moments like those that really make us love our job as Filipino wedding photographers! Hazel and Jerry, we are so glad you chose us to photograph your big day. Best wishes as you embark on this journey together!
