Closing out 2024 with Jean & Sammy’s Magical Wedding at Keswick Vineyards
As the sun dipped behind the Blue Ridge Mountains, Jean and Sammy celebrated their wedding day on November 16, 2024, marking a beautiful conclusion to our 2024 wedding season. Every detail of their celebration was a testament to love, elegance, and the magic of Keswick Vineyards.
Their ceremony took place in front of the stunning Edgewood Estate, a favorite choice among our couples. This location creates a moment of enchantment as our brides make their grand entrance from the vineyard, hidden from view until they begin their walk down the aisle. Jean, escorted by her father, made her appearance through the golden vines, a vision of grace and beauty. Spending those final quiet moments with Jean and her father was such a privilege, and I was lucky enough to capture a candid photo of the two, filled with emotion and anticipation.
The ceremony itself was breathtaking, with the grand Edgewood Estate serving as the backdrop for their vows. The crisp November air was filled with love, laughter, and joy as Jean and Sammy began their new life together.
After the ceremony, guests were treated to cocktails and appetizers while mingling around a grand circular bar adorned with bistro lights above. A few tiki heaters ensured everyone remained cozy as they enjoyed the relaxed elegance of the cocktail hour. Jean and Sammy’s plum-accented décor added a chic touch, from their understated welcome sign to the elegant mirror that displayed table assignments—a functional yet artistic focal point of the evening.
As guests moved into the Aurora tent, warmed by heaters and glowing with ambient lighting, they dined on a delicious buffet of expertly prepared dishes. The dessert spread was just as delightful, with treats to please every palate.
One detail that made Jean and Sammy’s wedding truly unique was the presence of Jean’s wedding dress designer, Leon, as a guest. Not only did Leon attend the celebration, but he ensured that Jean looked absolutely flawless throughout the day, keeping her stunning gown picture-perfect from every angle. Bravo, Leon—your artistry added an extra touch of magic to this already unforgettable event!
Jean and Sammy’s wedding was the perfect finale to an extraordinary 2024 wedding season. From heartfelt vows to creative themes and meaningful traditions, this year has been filled with love stories as unique as each couple. We’ve witnessed countless magical moments, shared in laughter and joy, and celebrated milestones that will be remembered for a lifetime.
As we close the chapter on this wedding season, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to every couple who chose Keswick Vineyards to celebrate their love. Your stories, style, and spirit have made this year unforgettable. Here’s to a new year of love, laughter, and happily ever after’s!
