Elissa & Nathan’s Beautiful Fall Wedding

Congratulations to Elissa & Nathan who tied the knot of Saturday, October 10th, at Keswick Vineyards.  What a perfect day for a wedding!  The sun was out to keep you warm yet there was a coolness also to make it just right.  Elissa & Nathan chose our “fall” location for their ceremony.  This location is to the east side of Edgewood Estate and takes advantage of a spectacular panorama view of the Estate, the fountain, the vineyard and the mountains all starting to glow with fall colors.  An amazing view!  Reverend Sam Ferguson from Falls Church did a beautiful ceremony.  My favorite part was after Elissa & Nathan were pronounced husband & wife, their first act together as a married couple was to kneel and pray together.  First time for me to see this here and I thought it was a lovely touch. 
After the ceremony guests enjoyed some delicious hors d’oeuvres while listening to a violinist & harpist play along with some recorded music.  Highly recommend these musicians.  Escort cards were displayed pinned on strings secured to a frame.  Once the couple was done with photos everyone went under the heated Sperry tent to enjoy a plated dinner prepared by Roadside Chive.  After dinner desserts of a wedding cake and District Donuts were available.
To work off some of those calories guests danced the night away with DJ TD Layman at the controls.  It was so much fun with all the dancing.  There actually was this “fun” dance off between one of the groomsmen and a younger guest.  I must say, they both had the moves but that young boy, look out!
