Wine & Whimsy at Yonah Mountain Vineyards (Part 2)

August 24, 2018

I’m so excited to share Part 2 of Wine & Whimsy at Yonah Mountain Vineyards for the Fall/Winter 2018 issue of Modern Luxury Weddings Atlanta! (Be sure to check out part 1 here!)

Our beautiful model bride, Tia, and our handsome model groom, Stephen, were the perfect addition to our styled shoot! The Berta gown that we selected was absolutely gorgeous! The sheer bodice and lace detail enhanced the intricate patterns found throughout the vineyard! The clean lines and European fit of the groom’s black suit was a great complement! Here’s a peek courtesy of Casey Green Photography:

The tablescape provide a picturesque setting for a romantic dinner! The tabletop structure, complete with bold floral and lush greens, was used to create a beautiful contrast with Yonah Mountain. The candle accents, French details, and ornate stationery atop of back sequins embodied “Dark Romance meets French Allure” while the cake appeared to float gracefully in the background on a clear, acrylic pedestal!

I am forever grateful for the amazing group of Atlanta wedding professionals who shared their time, products, and services to make this shoot more magical than I could have ever dreamed! Thank you!

Wine & Whimsy at Yonah Mountain Vineyards (Part 1)

August 22, 2018

Happy Wedding Wednesday! When Modern Luxury Weddings Atlanta asked me to plan and design a styled shoot for the Fall/Winter 2018 issue, I was beyond elated! The inspiration was “Dark Romance meets French Allure”. The location was Yonah Mountain Vineyards in Cleveland, Georgia! After my first visit to the vineyard, I was in complete awe about the beautiful scenery and venue!

Planning this styled shoot definitely holds a special place in my heart because I had an opportunity to take a step outside of the “city lights” and truly bond with the mountainside. The smell of the vineyard, the sound of nature, the sight of Yonah Mountain, the feel of the warm sun and moisture in the air, and the taste of handcrafted wine definitely sparked great inspiration for this shoot! During the planning process, I wanted to ensure that the final product would transcend space and time while promoting the use of all 5 senses through photographs!

I have so many favorite details from this shoot! I absolutely adore the ceremony space that we created on one of the hilltops overlooking the twenty acre vineyard! The nude drapery, outlined in black, with accents of bold fuchsia, red, and pink floral was the perfect frame for our bride and groom. The gold-trimmed black onyx chairs provided the right amount of romantic sophistication!

I am so thankful to the wedding professionals and models who worked effortlessly to bring my vision to life! Stay tuned for part 2 of Wine & Whimsy at Yonah Mountain Vineyards!
