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!

This was the first time that I had covered a wedding at the Biltmore Ballrooms since their electrical fire the day before the last wedding I shot there. This was also my first time working a wedding with Ashley from Ashley Baber Weddings. We had worked other events together where Bold American had asked me to shoot decor imagery, but never a wedding together. As I suspected she would, she did a stellar job and made everything flow smoothly. [As an aside, I'm going to do a blog post soon about why you absolutely need to hire a wedding planner if you are a bride getting married.]

Check out these shoes that Bryan Scott shot. Do they have attitude or what?

Check out this bouquet by On Occasions of Atlanta…

Food and decor was provided by Affairs to Remember…

Okay, I have to admit that this isn’t the most artistic picture in the world, but wanted to include it because I was so impressed with the job that Celso’s did. This cake was immaculate!

Isn’t Jennifer STUNNING!

Here’s the exit shot that I’ve talked about before and that I’ve grown to really love and appreciate…

Congratulations Jennifer and Jeff!
