Camryn and Zach’s intimate elopement at Bluemont Vineyards was nothing short of magical. The week leading up to their wedding was marked by heavy rain as a hurricane moved through the area, and I fully expected Saturday to be a washout. The night before, a hurricane even touched down just five miles from the venue, leaving behind downed trees and flooding. I had to take a different route to get there, as my usual drive was completely underwater!
Yet, when the day of their elopement arrived, you’d never guess the chaos that had unfolded just hours before. The skies cleared, and Bluemont Vineyards was bathed in sunshine, providing a stunning mountain backdrop for Camryn and Zach’s special day. It was a perfect reminder that even after the storm, beauty can always shine through.
