It only took me about 30 seconds once I arrived at Michele and Dan’s wedding to figure out that this would be one for the books. I had met Michele and Dan last summer, when I took their engagement pictures. I loved how easy they were with each other, and could tell instantly that they were such a perfect match.
Fast forward one year, and we all met again at Veritas Vineyard to see them tie the knot. Michele was calm and relaxed, and her bridesmaids were sipping rosé in chic coordinating robes. Her amazing dress hung in a crisp, white room with beautiful light in front of all the bridesmaid’s dresses in various shades of pale pink. Only downstairs, Dan and his groomsmen relaxed on the outside terrace, playing Corn Hole on custom boards while they chatted and enjoyed some local brews. Their unique and classic tuxes made them the most dapper groomsmen I’ve ever seen! As the afternoon went on, it was time for their First Look. It was a really great choice so that Michele and Dan could enjoy Cocktail Hour with their guests. Finally, they began the evening by tying the knot with expansive views of beautiful Virginia wine country and ended it by dancing the night away to THE most amazing and energetic band.
It was such an amazing, love-filled evening that I have no doubt that with a foundation like theirs, Michele and Dan will live so very happily together! Congratulations to you both!
