Remember Rafaella and Brian’s awesome engagement session? Turns out I was right, their wedding at Hunter Valley Farm turned out just as awesome! It was a perfect day for wedding photography and we even dodged the pop up showers.

I knew it was going to be an amazing wedding just seeing all the fun details that went into the ceremony and reception. Rafaella paid attention to every detail to make it unique to her and her wedding. Love that! From glasses for her bridesmaids to a quilt, you name it this wedding had it:)

A big giant shout out to my friend and fellow wedding photographer, Feuza, who flew down from New Jersey to second shoot with me. She is a gem and I so enjoyed working with her!

even the bridal suite for the girls to get ready in is amazing at Hunter Valley Farms!

another very cool detail. Rather than the usual guest book, Rafaella and Brian had a guest quilt where people wrote on the square pieces and it will be made into a quilt with some pictures in it too. Such a legacy to have made and pass down, love it!

something just gets me at every wedding when the dad is walking the bride down the aisle and the groom is waiting in the background. That and the father/daughter dance chokes me up everytime!

perhaps one of the coolest traditions I’ve seen for rings at a ceremony. It’s called a ring warming, where the ring is passed among all the guests as they say wishes/good thoughts/prayers for the couple. Then after that the couple exchanges the rings. Very cool.

Rafaella got this off of Etsy at Paloma’s Nest. Another reason to love Etsy!

the light changes in the Pavilion at Hunter Valley Farms and makes for awesome shots of the decor throughout the night!

the beautiful Mr and Mrs Mays. It was perfect light after the wedding for some amazing couple shots!
