Lauren & Nandan’s Vineyard Wedding Photos - Stone Tower Winery Wedding
Well, the wedding day has finally come for Lauren & Nandan! And gosh was I nervous! My first wedding and in such an amazing place! With breathtaking views and perfect weather, I practically could have taken the photos with just my iPhone (haha). Okay, I could and would never do that of course, but it was definitely worth emphasizing the beautify of Stone Tower Winery.
Located on Hogback Mountain Road in Leesburg, VA, Stone Tower Winery wows you with its Port Wine Grotto near the central pond, a historic Farmhouse where the bride can get ready, and a Vineyard View Ballroom that gives you a royal view of the vineyard sitting on top of its majestic rolling hills.
Of course nothing could compare to how amazing Lauren and Nandan looked that day! And the smiles…breathtaking and a photographers dream! Yes, this was a dream photoshoot for me and I still need to pinch myself every time I think about it.
Having stayed in a hotel nearby the night before (thank you Lauren!) I was able to get some good rest after I jury-rigged a blackout curtain because the pool light was shining right in my room and the hotel’s blackout curtain only closed a quarter of the way over the window. Anyways, I got to the venue at 10:00 in the morning and began photographing the details and the bridal party getting ready in the historic farmhouse. Afterwards I had the pleasure of photographing Nandan with his groomsmen, such fun! Their beautiful ceremony took place on the hillside overlooking the pond and surrounded by all the different grapevines that make the most stunning wine collection. Those views were amazing!
To top off this beautiful ceremony, Lauren and Nandan definitely did it right when they hired a Sam Hill Entertainment band called The New Royals. To say everyone was beyond impressed with this band is a true understatement. Absolutely mesmerizing! And such a perfect way to celebrate Lauren and Nandan’s amazing wedding day and (*quietly) my first wedding gig!
Cheers Lauren and Nandan! And thank you so much for the amazing friendship you both have graced me with! Many blessings to you both!
