Amanda and Steve considered eloping, but instead opted for a three day summer wedding celebration with their closest family and friends at The Vineyards at Chappel Lodge.  The celebration kicked off with an engagement session and wine tasting, rehearsal dinner at Moonshine the following evening and an intimate outdoor ceremony and dinner prepared by a private chef for their wedding day. After the ceremony, we joined the couple for their portrait session in the vineyards, a very romantic setting that really showed off the natural chemistry between these two lovebirds. After the portraits, the couple enjoyed dinner with their family on the beautifully landscaped veranda. Amanda’s father presented the couple with a unique gift and tradition for their marriage; a bottle of Italian wine and 2 glasses engraved with” I do too” encased in a beautiful wooden box to open on their first wedding anniversary.  Amanda and Steve will have a delicious bottle of wine to enjoy as they toast to their first year of marriage and every year they will replace it with a new bottle of their favorite wine for their next anniversary. What a fantastic idea!

We had a great time getting to know you and your family, congratulations Amanda & Steve!
