Breathtaking Mountain View Sunset at a Delfosse Vineyard Wedding | Charlottesville Wedding Photographer

Few places can satisfy my itch to travel the world like the beauty of Virginia’s landscapes. Kyle and Margaret’s Delfosse Vineyard wedding was one of those days where I was content to be exactly where I was — at the heart of Virginia’s beautiful wine country in Charlottesville, capturing a timeless couple on their special day.

But we didn’t start the day at Delfosse. The Graduate, a charming hotel in Charlottesville, was the first stop as I helped capture Getting Ready photos for Kyle & Margaret with their bridal party. This hotel is chock full of iconic nods to Charlottesville’s history.

We then traveled to the picturesque grounds of the University of Virginia for an unforgettable beginning to Kyle and Margaret’s love story as they exchanged vows in a beautiful ceremony. From there, their journey of love continued, leading to a stunning reception amidst the rolling vineyards and breathtaking scenery of their Delfosse Vineyard wedding.

The UVA Wedding Ceremony

Nestled within the historic charm of the University of Virginia, Kyle and Margaret began their journey. Now they were returning, not as college lovers, but now as bride and groom. The iconic architecture, serene gardens, and rich history provided an idyllic backdrop for their heartfelt vows. As the couple exchanged promises in the presence of family and friends, the atmosphere buzzed with love and joy.

Every glance, every heartfelt speech, and every smile created such touching moments to witness and document in their photography.

Delfosse Vineyard Wedding Reception & Portraits

Following the ceremony, the celebration continued at Delfosse Vineyard, a stunning locale that perfectly complemented the romance of the day. Nestled in the heart of Virginia’s wine country, the dreamy vineyard rivaled that found in Europe.

The panoramic views of rolling vineyards, coupled with the rustic charm of the venue created a mesmerizing ambiance. Guests were treated to fine wines, delectable cuisine, and romantic music that filled the air with merriment and laughter. Every detail, from the elegant fall decor to the heartfelt toasts, contributed to the magic of the evening.

My favorite part of this Delfosse Vineyard wedding was their golden hour portrait time! As the sun dipped below the horizon, it cast a warm glow over the vineyard. Kyle and Margaret were flawless to pose as a married couple. Scroll further to see the jaw-dropping backdrop and beautiful couple, drenched in beautiful sunlight!

The joyous celebration continued well into the night, with friends and family relishing in the happiness radiating from the newlyweds. Kyle and Margaret’s Delfosse Vineyard wedding was a fusion of elegance, romance, and heartfelt moments. I love how they weaved parts of their history into their celebration. From the historic charm of UVA’s ceremony to the captivating beauty of Delfosse Vineyard’s reception, every aspect reflected the couple’s adorable love story.

Every detail of the Madelyn Tenney Events Spring Design Showcase 2025 was pure magic. As an Atlanta wedding photographer, I had the joy of being invited to capture not only the beautifully curated spaces but also the intimate behind-the-scenes moments that made this spring showcase possible. From lush florals to elegant table settings, the event was a treasure trove of spring wedding inspiration for brides dreaming up their perfect day.

Hosted at Nova Studio in the heart of Atlanta, this carefully crafted experience was designed to set the tone for the upcoming wedding season—and it did not disappoint.

Spring Wedding Inspiration for Modern Southern Brides

The design vision for the showcase–Prima Flora–embraced soft pastels, delicate textures, and fresh seasonal styling. Think romantic blush tones, textured linens, and floral-forward installations. Madelyn and her talented team created a setting that felt simultaneously elevated and welcoming. It was truly a perfect exhibition of what sophisticated spring weddings can be in Georgia.

As I arrived early to document the event setup, I was able to photograph the team in their element: adjusting linens, styling stationery, and rehearsing the layout one last time. These behind-the-scenes moments revealed just how much heart went into this event. It’s easy to see why so many brides trust Madelyn Tenney Events to bring their dream weddings to life.

Behind the Scenes with Madelyn Tenney Events

Before the doors opened, I had the privilege of capturing team headshots for the women behind Madelyn Tenney Events. Their energy, collaboration, and vision made it clear this wasn’t just a design showcase—it was a heartfelt celebration of creativity and community.

The environment was buzzing with excitement as florists arranged final stems and vendors fluffed the final cushions. The team’s chemistry was undeniable, and it translated directly into the seamless flow of the event itself.

The Madelyn Tenney Events Spring Design Showcase

At the heart of the showcase were the intentional design vignettes. Each space told a story, offering spring wedding inspiration tailored for modern Southern brides. One standout element was a centerpiece floral installation by Marigo Flowers, assisted by Pollen Floral Company. It floated above a table layered with blush-toned linens from BBJ La Tavola, catching the light beautifully throughout the afternoon.

An eye-catching ice sculpture by Ice Sculpture Inc. ATL added a playful, elevated touch to the scene, while live entertainment from Jewel the Ballerina captivated attendees with ethereal movement, bringing life to the experience. Glasswing Rentals curated tableware that sparkled under the natural light of Nova Studio, and JC Rental Collective and Party Bound contributed pieces that gave each setup personality and polish.

Why This Event Matters for Atlanta Brides

If you’re a bride planning a wedding in Atlanta, Savannah, or North Georgia looking for fresh spring wedding inspiration, events like this one are invaluable. They don’t just showcase trends—they display the talent of local, trustworthy vendors who are passionate about what they do.

Every vendor at this showcase brought their A-game. Seeing each one’s work in person—and getting to document it as a film-inspired wedding photographer—was such an honor.

What I Loved Most as an Atlanta Wedding Photographer

Photographing this spring wedding inspiration at Nova Studio was a dream. The soft filtered light made the colors pop in a way that felt timeless and true-to-color. My goal is always to deliver film-inspired wedding photos that feel both editorial and authentic. The setting created by Madelyn Tenney Events was ideal for that.

Being trusted to document the designs and the passion behind them—team portraits, set-up, genuine laughter—reminds me why I love this work. These are the moments that couples don’t always see. These are the images that reveal the effort, energy, and heart poured into a couple’s day long before they say I do.
