Film & Digital Photographs at a Wine Cellar Wedding
This wedding was photographed on both digital and 35mm film. Summer weddings at Maiolatesi Wine Celler are especially stunning on film — the way it captures soft highlights, skin tones, and greens feels nostalgic in the best way.
Digital allowed us to preserve the vibrancy of the florals and reception lighting, while film added that romantic, editorial softness that makes moments feel timeless. Blending both mediums ensures your wedding gallery feels emotional, artful, and true to the atmosphere of the day.

A Golden Retriever on Wedding Day
One of my favorite parts of this wedding was how Leah and Tyler made it completely their own — including their dog. Including your pet instantly adds personality and heart to your day, and the open field setting at Maiolatesi Wine Celler makes it seamless to incorporate them into portraits. From quiet in-between moments to joyful candids, their pup brought such warmth and authenticity to the gallery.

A Fresh Summer Color Palette with Elevated Details
The color palette of this day was layered, romantic, and perfect for summer. Bold and textured florals blended with fresh greens created a look that felt both refined and joyful.
The floral design by McCarthy’s Flowers brought the ceremony and reception to life. The arrangements felt lush yet organic, complementing the setting beautifully. Paired with candle installations from Chippy White Table, the reception space felt warm, intimate, and glowing as the evening unfolded.
Leah found her gown at The Dress Lounge — a timeless silhouette that photographed beautifully in both natural outdoor light and inside the lovely reception space. Tyler’s suit from Tuxedo by Sarno added a classic groom look that elevated the entire aesthetic.
Hair by The Bridal Above and makeup by Delanie Gilbride completed the bridal look with a polished, effortless finish that lasted through every emotional moment and dance floor celebration.
A Celebration That Felt Like Summer
As the sun set, the celebration transitioned into a high-energy reception thanks to Lightweight Band. The dance floor stayed full, the candles flickered against the walls, and the entire evening felt like the perfect blend of elegance and fun — exactly what a summer wedding reception should feel like, complete with a cocktail around the fire under string lights.
