Virginia’s natural beauty and warm hospitality have long made it a sought-after destination for weddings, and Jack and Josh’s October celebration in Charlottesville was no exception. Their love story, which blossomed from a long-time friendship, was beautifully reflected in their heartfelt and inclusive wedding at Keswick Vineyards.
Josh, who grew up in Virginia, knew he wanted to share a Charlottesville October with their family and friends. Keswick Vineyards provided the perfect setting—a unique and exclusive estate open only for weddings, ensuring that every guest experienced something truly special. Nestled in the rolling hills and surrounded by vibrant fall foliage, the venue captured the essence of a classic autumn day.
The couple’s wedding was filled with an overwhelming sense of love and joy. Photographer Meredith Coe remarked that she had never witnessed so much affection from a couple and their wedding party. Jack and Josh’s deep connection was mirrored in the bonds they shared with their attendants and guests, creating an atmosphere that radiated warmth and happiness. Jack and Josh walked down the aisle at the start of their ceremony together, instead of coming in individually as many couples do. It was a sweet and emotional start to a heartwarming ceremony, with the guests seated in a semi circle around them.
The wedding design leaned into the rich hues of autumn, with high-impact greenery and florals in vibrant seasonal colors. Shelby at Tupelo Floral Co. transformed the reception tent into an autumnal wonderland, with lush arrangements adorning every corner and cascading from the ceiling. To extend the design throughout the event, Jack and Josh incorporated thoughtfully curated furniture and tabletop rentals, ensuring that every detail contributed to the cohesive aesthetic.
The couple’s attention to detail extended to their wedding party, which was a beautiful celebration of individuality and inclusivity. Both sides of the wedding party were mixed gender, with attendants choosing between suits or dresses and opting for either a bouquet or boutonniere based on their personal style. As a practical and stylish gesture, Jack and Josh gifted Veja sneakers to each member of the wedding party, allowing them to dance the night away in comfort after the ceremony.
Jack and Josh’s celebration at Keswick Vineyards was more than just a wedding—it was an experience. The stunning venue, thoughtful design, and palpable love between the couple and their guests made the day unforgettable.
