When arriving at Morais Vineyards & Winery it is like being transported into Spain or Italy, as the beautiful architecture and vineyards are stunning! This is why we love being Morais Vineyards Wedding Photographers, and it has quickly become one of our favorite wedding venues outside of Charlottesville! When Amy and Chris reached out about their classic and elegant fall wedding there we were super excited to be back there for a gorgeous fall wedding!
The day started off with Amy’s emotional first look with her proud father. It was so precious witnessing the moment when he saw his daughter for the first time in her dress. When her mom joined in, it was impossible for everyone to keep the tears from falling. Moments like these make us incredibly grateful to be wedding photographers, as we know these pictures and memories are what will be cherished forever!
Right before her first look with her groom, Chris surprised Amy with an amazing gift. She beamed with excitement as she opened the beautiful box which contained a brand new Rolex! What a guy! What a gift! It was only appropriate that they had their first look by the beautiful vintage clock in the vineyards! After Amy and Chris shared a few moments together in the vineyards, a stunning Classic 1952 Bentley arrived for our pictures! We love when couples have a really cool vintage car for their getaway, but it is even better when it arrives early so we can include it in our pictures! Of course as Morais Vineyards Wedding Photographers know, you should never miss an opportunity to do pictures in the amazing wine cellar as well! It’s one of the most spectacular wine cellars in Virginia! We had so much fun taking bridal portraits in front of the vintage car and in the wine cellar, and loved the excitement of our couple throughout it all.
After the ceremony, and pictures in the wine cellar, the rest of the evening flew by as everyone enjoyed dancing and smoking cigars outside under the bistro lights! It was a lovely wedding day with Amy and Chris and we wish them the very best! A special thank you to May June Events and all of the other Morais Vineyards wedding vendors for making this day so special!
