Love Lockdown...
The first time we met this amazing couple in person was for their engagement session at King Family Vineyards. We had plans to spend some time at the vineyard and then move along to Skyline Drive for some photos with scenic views. We ended up revising our plans a little bit, and dealt with a brief moment of "pay the fee or you can't shoot here" which we happily paid, and decided to skip Skyline Drive and stick with the venue we were already at. Little did we know this go-with-the-flow situation was just a pregame to what 2020 would end up looking like.
When the lock-downs and state executive orders began, I remember thinking that although our April and May weddings were effected, there was no way our June weddings would be. Then it happened. We heard from this beautiful couple that they would be pushing their wedding date to next year. A smart idea in order to have the full wedding experience they had been planning for so long. Still wanting to tie the knot and make it official this year, they decided to have a small, intimate wedding ceremony at their venue, Grace Estate Winery in Crozet, Va. I am so glad they decided to make us a part not only of their big event, but the small intimate ceremony as well. It was a lovely day, full of laughing, crying (the good kind!) and so much joy. If anything, it was a great way to prepare for next year, when we celebrate the long awaited BIG day!
