KIMBERLY + GRIFFIN - Montaluce Winery & Estates Wedding

Kimberly & Griffin were married on a sunny day in early November at Montaluce Winery & Estates. Maryland-wedding-photographer_0001

The setting for this wedding was just breathtaking. Montaluce has beautiful vineyards even when it's not grape-growing season! I loved how the sun set during Kimberly & Griffin's ceremony; the golden light was picture-perfect. One of my favorite parts of the day was the couple's first look and portrait session. Because of the Daylight Savings Time shift, they opted to see each other before the ceremony, and I loved getting to spend non-rushed time with them to make photos. It was so precious the way they looked at each other...swoon!

At the end of his speech, Kimberly's dad said "your futures are looking bright" and gave them shades. Too hilarious!Maryland-wedding-photographer_0059Maryland-wedding-photographer_0060

KIMBERLY + GRIFFIN ENGAGED!

Kimberly & Griffin... ohhh what a treat to photograph! When I think of their engagement session, I think of getting terribly lost in the woods (which turned out to be a happy accident and led us to an awesome spot to shoot!), giggles & cuddles and adventure. Kimberly has the BEST laughing expression, and Griffin was the one who constantly put it there. I LOVED spending the afternoon with these two. They absolutely trusted me to make truly organic photos of their sweet relationship in one of their favorite places to spend time together: nature. Can't even wait for their wedding this fall! : )

LOVE the following set by the water...

I thought this frame was hilarious...
