There’s something about Montaluce Winery that feels like a little slice of Tuscany right here in Georgia. When I started planning this bridal editorial, I knew I wanted to capture that effortless, romantic vibe—the kind that makes you feel like you’ve been whisked away to the Italian countryside.

The Inspiration

I wanted this shoot to feel natural, elegant, and a little bit dreamy. My model bride is actually one of my best friends, Lauren, and her wonderful boyfriend, Stephen, and that made bringing this vision to life that much more special! Lauren looked absolutely stunning in a flowing bridal gown from BC Dress Rentals that moved beautifully with the breeze, and the soft, golden light at Montaluce made every moment feel even more magical.

One of my favorite parts? We put together the bouquet at JJ’s Flower Shop—a fun, hands-on way to add a personal touch to the shoot. The mix of bold colors with hints of texture gave it a fresh, modern feel while still keeping things timeless.

Why Montaluce?

If you’ve ever been to Montaluce Winery, you know it has a charm that’s hard to beat. The rolling vineyards, the warm stone buildings, and the peaceful setting make it an absolute dream for weddings (or in this case, a styled shoot!). Whether I’m photographing a real couple or an editorial like this, the scenery never disappoints.

Bringing Wedding Visions to Life

As a Georgia and destination wedding photographer, I love creating images that feel real and full of emotion. Whether you’re getting married at a vineyard, a historic estate, or somewhere far away, my goal is always to tell your story in the most beautiful and authentic way possible.

If you’re planning a wedding and love this kind of vibe, let’s chat! I’d love to help capture your big day in a way that feels natural, romantic, and true to you.
