Rolling hills draped with rows upon rows of grape vines, the sound of a small farm in the back drop, a Tuscan-esc hilltop and a sunset to die for. You would think that I was describing a location somewhere in Italy but I am actually talking about Running Hare Vineyard in Southern Maryland.

August 21 was the culmination of months of planning and prep.  It was the day of my very FIRST styled bridal shoot and I am so pleased with the outcome.  Running Hare Vineyard was more beautiful in person that I had ever imagined and pairing that with the amazing vendors that I worked with was the recipe for a beautiful evening for sure.

The bridal gowns were provided by Celia Grace, an eco-friendly, fair trade bridal gown designer who creates the most exquisite dresses.  Im not sure if I loved the dresses or what the company stands for more! Jewelry was provided by both Maertens Fine Jewelry and J’Adorn Designs.  Both designers have different styles that played so well with the three different gowns we had for the shoot.  The vintage settee  and tables were provided by Vintage Affair.  They seriously have everything you can think of when it comes to vintage furniture. The floral design was done by my girl Uche of Designs by Oochay.  This girl can whip up a boutonnière faster than I thought possible and her floral arrangements are simply stunning.

Hair and make up were done by two amazing Hair and Makeup Artists.  Michelle Heffner and Delaney Burgess.  These girls were able to take what I had in mind for the overall session and make the models look breathtaking.
