When Love and Magic Collide: Ali & Christopher's Stunning Vineyard Wedding

Ali and Christopher’s wedding was nothing short of phenomenal. Having spoken with them for nearly a year leading up to their big day, I felt an immediate sense of comfort and excitement as I arrived at the stunning Mattebella Vineyard. Thanks to the incredible Vita from Vita Vintage Events, every detail of the day was flawlessly executed. Her expertise in event planning made the entire experience seamless, and working alongside her was an absolute joy.

The day was made even more incredible by my team-up with Caroline Rocchetta Photography. Caroline and I had a creatively fulfilling day, capturing every magical moment of this beautiful couple. Let’s be honest—Ali and Chris make you question your genetics. I want a refund on mine after seeing these two lovely people. Not only are they stunning on the outside, but they are some of the most genuine, kind-hearted people I’ve had the pleasure to work with. Their love for each other is palpable, and their warmth extends to everyone around them. It's rare to come across a couple so full of kindness and generosity, and it made capturing their day even more special.

I'm posting this blog a bit later than anticipated but for a fantastic reason. Chris, always full of surprises, gave Ali the wedding film I created on their first anniversary during a trip to Costa Rica. I can't wait to show you some behind-the-scenes moments from the film reveal and their reactions! They gave me the most heartwarming call at midnight; their smiles and happy tears made my night. Moments like these, where clients become friends, are why I love what I do.

Ali and Chris—what can I say? You two are special. Everything I captured on your day felt like magic. And what millennial doesn’t love editing to the Backstreet Boys? It was one of those days I’ll never forget, filled with joy, beauty, and love.

A special shoutout to TI Fusion, the band that Ali and Chris trusted based on my recommendation. Irina and her team always went above and beyond and didn’t disappoint—what a party! Every vendor brought their A-game, and the night was legendary.

To Ali and Chris—thank you for choosing me to be a part of your unforgettable day. I adore you both and wish you a lifetime of love, happiness, and, of course, more surprise videos!
