I first met Jessica and Scott at a bridal event at Montaluce Winery & Estates up in Dahlonega, GA last year. The event was sponsored by Modern Luxury’s Atlantan Brides magazine and though I wasn’t a vendor in the show, I really wanted to check out the winery because I heard so many good things about it. Afterwards, Rob and Jennifer (the then-owners of Montaluce), invited a number of us to stay for dinner (as an aside, I do have to say, dinner that evening was definitely in my top ten meals ever). Also at dinner that night was Rob and Amy Osaba from Amy Osaba Event Floral Design. Sitting to my right was Rob and to my left, between Amy and I, was our bride and groom… Jessica and Scott.
It wasn’t until months later that I got a call from them inquiring about having us cover their wedding day at Montaluce. The best part is that it took us a while to put two and two together that we had already met at Montaluce… total coincidence. As it turns out, Jessica had also hired Amy Osaba Event Floral Design who does just fabulous work as you can see below.
Montaluce Winery is about an hour north of Atlanta, beautifully situated in the North Georgia mountains with some breathtaking views!
Here’s her dress hanging next to her grandmother’s wedding dress. This is a special photo for Jessica!
Did I forget to mention that Raney O’Keefe, Extraordinaire, was on hand to doing hair and makeup?
Check out this awesome Cadillac from Classy Car Limo!
This is one of my favorites details of the day, captured by my second shooter, Brian Steele. What are the chances he could catch the flower girl running by in the reflection of the hub cap?!?! Amazing job!
Robert Rogers on bagpipes announced the beginning of the wedding ceremony and serenaded their exit. Highly recommended!
Jessica and Scott chose to have the ceremony in the production room where the wine is actually made. How cool it that?
Also, a shoot out to DJ Dobbs from Spectrum Entertainment who was in the house to keep the reception moving. Awesome!
Congratulations Jessica and Scott!
