Melissa & Shane’s Wedding at Trump Winery

Bride and Groom at Trump Vineyards

Melissa and Shane’s wedding at Trump Winery was an exciting day for everyone involved!  It was a beautiful summer day and the vibrant colors of the vineyards created the perfect backdrop for this rustic and romantic wedding!

Melissa and Shane began the day relaxing with their bridal party and families while they prepared for the afternoons festivities and counted down the minutes to when they would see each other. Melissa and Shane chose to have a first look before the ceremony and Aaron was honored to photograph such a meaningful moment. They saw each other for the first time underneath a weeping willow tree which made for an enchanting scene especially with the wind rustling through the branches and Melissa’s veil. The excitement and love shared between Melissa and Shane is so evident in these pictures making these some of our favorites!

After spending some quiet moments together, the happy couple had a lovely outdoor ceremony where friends and family joined alongside them in celebrating the beginning of their marriage. They incorporated some fun and personal details into their ceremony including creating their own hashtag so guests could immediately Instagram photos throughout their wedding day. This is a great way for couples to enjoy and share memories of their day quickly!  Some of our other favorite details were the wooden signs pointing towards the ceremony and reception locations, and the floral arrangements by Everlasting Flowers with chalkboard signs that featured their initials! Conveniently Everlasting Flowers is owned by Shane’s mom, who as you will see is an amazing florist and has a great team that helped her out!

We think this wedding will be inspiring and we hope you enjoy looking through their wedding pictures. Be sure to keep an eye our for part 2 tomorrow!
