Aside from having really cool names, Mallory and Chas are really cool people.   And their WEDDING WAS GORGEOUS!!!!   Everything about this day was wonderful and beautiful.   Talon Winery was a perfect as it had old barns, rolling fields, blue skies and rows of vineyards.

I just adored all the rustic goodness surrounding me as I photographed a lovely couple.  On the way to the Lexington Winery, I was met with all of these wooden signs announcing I was getting close.

Mallory put so many wonderful details into her wedding, it was a complete joy to photograph.   I found all the girls hanging out in a little cottage drinking mimosa’s and enjoying the getting ready time.

They did a gift exchange before their first sight!   Mallory got Chas this amazing watch, and Chas did an incredible job getting her these blue Louis Vuitton heels from Paris!!  Yes, I may have been coveting.

Before I go any further, I want to talk about the first sight – they had it earlier that day.   Besides the benefit of having time to get incredible photographs, they had a wonderfully intimate moment and time just to themselves on their special day.    Yes, I left them alone (completely alone) for them to talk and just have that moment  which they would not get later when all their guests and family surround them.     I think the main concern  for most couples about the first sight earlier in the day is that it will ruin the moment of seeing each other for the first time at the altar.   This is when all of my couples can chime in with some comments if you would like – because it doesn’t take away from that moment – it just makes it different.    And you are about to see what I am talking about.

Not only did the groom get teared up, but most of the wedding party and even Mallory (who never cries).     Each moment is equally significant and emotionally wonderful.   Please don’t ever believe that the first sight ruins this moment.   It never could.
