the festivities were held at a personal favorite venue, king family vineyards, just west of charlottesville. the outdoor ceremony offered fantastic views of the blue ridge mountains, also making for a scenic backdrop for photos of the wedding party and families later. one of the things i enjoy the most at a winery-held wedding, is to join the newlyweds for a walk in the vineyards proceeding the ceremony, which allows for more relaxed impromptu photo ops. megan and will also requested a few photos to be taken at the horse stable, which was such a treat (they are both animal lovers...megan is a veterinarian!).
the carriage house, where the reception was held, is both elegant and rustic at the same time, with tall ceilings, exposed beams, a huge stone fireplace, and beautiful hardwood oak floors. the decor and flowers created by beehive events were just breathtaking! lisa and i agreed that the flower girl's dress was the cutest ever...not to mention how adorable she was! i absolutely ADORED the wedding programs which doubled as fans, a great idea for an outdoor summer wedding. will and megan had an artist friend create silhouettes of the two of them, as well as of their two beloved cats printed on their programs. (i guess you could say i'm a big fan of kitties, no pun intended!)
everything from the fabulous cuisine, to the fantastic band, to the home brewed "celebration amber ale" and the "celebration i.p.a." (made by the groom!), to the tasty wedding cake served with gelato an italian icecream, made for a truly fabulous one of a kind celebration! it will be one lisa and i will always remember!
it has been a difficult task deciding which photos to post as there are so many favorites. lisa and i had such a wonderful time documenting megan and will's wedding. we wish them the very best starting a new life together in their new home in madison, wisconsin!

What a lovely wedding! Thanks for including link to Delphine. Do you happen to have any photos of the invites?
Erika, thanks for the comment. Megan and Will didn't bring a copy of the invite to the wedding. So, sadly I didn't get the opportunity to photograph it :(. Megan said they were fabulous too!
