Early Mountain Vineyard Wedding Photographer | Katie & Andrew

I had an amazing opportunity to second shoot with Ali (from Alisandra Photography -- she is awesome, check her out!) a few weeks ago at Early Mountain Vineyard in Madison, VA. This place is an absolute dream for a photographer -- multiple barns, sweeping fields, rows and rows of vines, and an interior that Ali and I agreed looked like a brighter Great Hall from Harry Potter. 

The week leading up to the wedding was a bit nerve-wracking -- many DC area photographers on Facebook were in a mini-panic looking for areas to shoot indoors as an impending storm was due to hit the area Friday night and not leave until Sunday. I remember how awful that feeling can be as a bride, as it was supposed to rain on our day as well -- you plan this huge event over a year in advance with, of course, no idea what the weather will be like when it finally arrives. You hope, and even pray, that everything goes smoothly but it's completely out of your hands. 

Well after all the worry, it ended up not raining during Katie + Andrew's day! We made it through getting ready, portraits, the ceremony, and cocktail hour without even a drop. By the time sunset rolled around, the sun peeked out of the clouds for a quick hello just before setting. Thank you, Ali, for allowing me to second shoot with you; the wedding was a blast and I am so grateful to have been a part of it!
