Two beautiful people very much in love, a gorgeous day, a grandfather performing the ceremony on a balcony overlooking the Chateau Morrisette Winery; what more could make the perfect wedding day?

The dress was gorgeous, the bride a picture of beauty and poise. The groom, as verified by his brother the Best Man, is one of those people everyone loves, and it was easy to see why. The family was gracious and absolutely wonderful to work with.

The bride and the Maid of Honor started out at Zee’s Salon…….at 8am! So much for a late snooze.

It was a bit of a ride to the winery from there, and things got just a tad behind but with a day like this…..is there REALLY anything to be concerned about?

The bride was cool as a cucumber…LOVE IT!!

and it shows……Beautiful………

Then things got under way….. and it was a GREAT day.

The Ring Bearer did an outstanding job, sometimes a little coaching goes a long way.

details…details…

then they released the butterflies…..cloud timing was awesome!

then into the reception….. lot’s of love…..

but we sneaked out for a little photo session…this one seemed right for a little vintage fun…..

then back to enjoy a great reception dinner with some delicious Chateau Morrisette wine…

and of course, the first dance

and some fun with the kids….

……this one has made me laugh all week…

Finally, Andrea and Nadeem were off to enjoy a little time by themselves before rejoining friends for an evening in Roanoke…..

Andrea and Nadeem, I hope you were able to hook up for a fun white water day on your travels. If not, the New River isn’t going to dry up anytime soon…..or will it? (We need some rain….just not on Saturdays!)

Thanks so much for letting me be a part of your day. Here’s to a great couple and a great family. Best wishes for a happily ever after!
