Keswick Vineyards weddings are especially popular in the fall, and it’s not hard to see why. Towards the end of October, the iconic oak tree by the ceremony site starts to pick up colorful yellow, orange, and red hues, while the vines behind them still have their greenery. It’s such a beautiful time of year for Charlottesville weddings all around and exactly why Emilia and Andrew chose to host their black tie wedding in the fall.
Guests of the wedding came from around the country and other parts of the world to celebrate with our sweet couple. Emilia and Andrew met during their undergrad years at Harvard. The couple prioritized making their black tie Keswick Vineyards wedding as personal and intimate to their relationship in a way that invited guests into their world.
Emilia and Andrew shared a heartfelt first look before their wedding ceremony, and the joy on Andrew’s face when he saw his bride was truly unforgettable. Their beloved dog, Penelope, also made an appearance, adding a fun and personal touch to their black-tie Keswick Vineyards wedding.
Their ceremony was especially meaningful, officiated by a close friend who has been part of their journey. One of the most powerful moments was a heartfelt tribute to a loved one who had recently passed. A prayer written by Emilia’s (or Andrew’s) grandfather was read, creating an emotional and deeply moving experience for everyone in attendance.
After exchanging vows and officially becoming husband and wife, the newlyweds made their way to cocktail hour, where guests enjoyed delicious food and lively conversation. Emilia and Andrew prioritized ensuring their loved ones had an incredible time, and their reception was filled with laughter, heartfelt toasts, and plenty of dancing.
As the evening drew to a close, guests gathered for Emilia and Andrew’s stunning sparkler exit—a magical ending to their unforgettable Keswick Vineyards wedding and the perfect beginning to their next chapter together.
