A newlywed couple walks hand-in-hand through a green field, heading toward a white barn in the distance. The bride's lace gown gently flows behind her, while the groom, dressed in a black tuxedo, smiles and gestures toward the horizon. The backdrop features rolling hills, bare trees, and a serene countryside setting, evoking a sense of tranquility and romance.

A wedding at King Family Vineyards always seems to strike the perfect balance between elegance and ease. This early spring celebration, photographed alongside Maddy Williams Photography, in the foothills of Crozet, Virginia, was no exception—pairing soft seasonal hues with the refined backdrop of one of the area’s most iconic vineyard venues.

With timeless black-tie attire, thoughtful design, and a ceremony overlooking the rolling vineyards, the entire day felt grounded in intentionality. Even small surprises from nature, like a blooming tree in peak pink, added their own magic.

A First Look Beneath the Blooms

One of the standout moments of this wedding took place beneath a blooming tree with pink blossoms, where the couple shared their first look. The vibrant pink blossoms and soft natural light made for an especially romantic setting—perfectly echoing the blush tones worn by the wedding party.

This early spring detail gave the portrait session a painterly atmosphere, creating a sense of quiet joy before the rest of the celebration unfolded. Against the backdrop of the King Family Vineyards estate, these private moments felt even more timeless.

Elegant Touches for a Black-Tie Celebration

The couple’s design leaned classic: blush and champagne tones, black tuxedos, and white florals with subtle greenery. The ceremony on the lawn embraced the mountain views, and the Carriage House reception offered an elegant indoor space to continue the celebration. With its vaulted ceilings and warm wood tones, the Carriage House creates a beautiful contrast to soft florals, candlelight, and gold or blush-toned decor.

During the reception, guests dined, mingled on the terraces, and danced as the sun set behind the mountains. The images from this evening carried that painterly softness—complemented by drone views that showcased the venue’s full atmosphere from above.
