This Romantic Mountainside Vineyard Wedding at Veritas Vineyards & Winery in Afton, VA was photographed by Sarah Mills on October 8, 2021. Sarah is a wedding photographer for La Ve En Rose Photographers and is available for weddings in Virginia, Washington, DC, Maryland, and beyond.

I had the pleasure of meeting Joelle and Regan for their engagement session back in June of 2020. We walked around the beautiful downtown Annapolis, MD, getting to know eachother and dreaming about their wedding day to come, not realizing at the time that it would be pushed back another year due to COVID. These weddings hold a special place in our hearts, getting to finally celebrate with our couples after the disappointment and heartbreak having to postpone gives us the greatest joy!

Their wedding day was nothing short of romantic, breath-taking and fun! Between the views of the vineyard and the overcast skies allowing the mountains in the distance to truly stand out, I truly had the best backdrop for photos throughout the day. Their friends and family joined them on this day to also show how well deserving they were of their long-awaited celebration, and it was the best to see! Joelle and Regan were inseperable, always laughing and having a good time with their family and friends, and I gotta say – that’s my favorite kind of bride and groom to capture! The toasts made by the maid of honors and best man were both hilarious and heartfelt, and can’t forget the dad’s toast as he found a way to sneak in a “War Eagle!” into his speach (as expected by everyone)!

Joelle & Regan, I had the best time being part of your long-awaited and well deserved day of celebrating! Thank you again for choosing me, and trusting me to capture all the special memories for you! I hope you love the photos just as much as I do, if not more:) I wish you both the very best in your marriage in your new home on your beautiful acreage, along with your sweet bloodhound fur baby!
