Kieran and Aubree's wedding at Ashton Creek Vineyard in Chester, VA, was nothing short of enchanting, despite the weather throwing a curve-ball their way. On a rainy October day, the couple's love shone brightly through the clouds, making for a truly memorable celebration.

The Rainy Start

The day began with rain pouring down, which led to a last-minute venue switch for the ceremony. The wedding planner swiftly moved the ceremony indoors into the reception hall. Though this wasn’t the original plan, the warm, intimate setting of the reception hall created a cozy atmosphere that was perfect for Kieran and Aubree’s vows.

Honoring Loved Ones

Aubree's emotional connection with her father was beautifully honored throughout the day. She wore a charm with a photo of her and her dad, and a seat was reserved in his memory. After the ceremony, Aubree released balloons as a tribute to her father, a touching moment that added depth to the day's celebrations.

The Father-Daughter Dance was a heartfelt highlight, where Aubree danced with significant men in her life, including her brother. This moment underscored the importance of family and the love that surrounded her.

Emotional Moments and Iconic Photos

The day was filled with emotional moments, including a poignant first look with Aubree’s mother and brother. These intimate snapshots captured the deep bonds between family members, adding a personal touch to the wedding album.

Despite the rainy weather, the brief break in the rain allowed us to capture the iconic fountain photo and some beautiful shots inside the vineyard. These outdoor photos added a special touch to the collection, showcasing the natural beauty of Ashton Creek Vineyard.

Celebrating Culture and Joy

The celebration continued with a vibrant tribute to Kieran’s Bajans heritage. The couple and their guests danced around with Barbados flags, infusing the reception with cultural pride and joy. The night was further illuminated with glow sticks, adding a festive flair to the dance floor.

The evening culminated with a private last dance for the newlyweds, a perfect ending to a day filled with love and celebration. As the night came to a close, Kieran and Aubree exited through a tunnel of sparklers, surrounded by their cheering friends and family. It was a spectacular end to a beautiful day.
