There is always an extra layer of planning when the sun sets at 5pm on your wedding day! Luckily Alex and Peter had a cozy 60 degree December day for their winter wedding that allowed for hours of outdoor portraits! Followed by the most romantic candle lit ceremony at Early Mountain Vineyard. The soft faded grass in the winter plus the warm golden hour sun, made for a few of my all time favorite portraits.

Alex and Peter made sure to fill their wedding day with their most important friends and family. Which included their fur-baby, Murphy! Lucky he wasn’t at all camera shy since we got some extra practice during their engagement session. During the wedding Murphy got to join in the wedding party portraits, first looks, and even as an adorable wedding favorite magnet, that currently lives on my fridge.
