Diane + Alfredo: Brotherhood winery summer wedding

Finding Love Once Again

Diane and Alfredo's wedding at Brotherhood Winery in Washingtonville, NY was a beautiful and intimate affair that celebrated their love in a stunning setting. The ceremony and reception were both held indoors but the 1839 historic winery offered a hidden gem for photo opportunities.

Alfredo, who was a coworker of mine at The Cheesecake Factory, approached me one day about photographing his special day. I was superrrr excited to be asked and without hesitation, I accepted the offer, knowing that it would be an honor to capture such a beautiful and momentous occasion. The date was after my trip to Kauai, Hawaii in 2021 for a photography workshop so I knew I was gonna come back hot, ready and on fiyaaahhh!!

I had the chance to sneak Diane and Alfredo away to the underground wine cellar (which was nice and cool because it was hot afff that day) for a private photo session. The dimly lit cellar provided a romantic and unique backdrop for their portraits which gave us all the rustic vibes!

The ceremony was held in the smaller indoor venue, which provided an intimate and cozy atmosphere. The couple exchanged their vows in front of family and friends, with soft lighting and rustic decor setting the mood. I made my way around capturing the emotion and love that filled the room, as well as the intricate details of the decor.

Diane and Alfredo's wedding at Brotherhood Winery was a truly unforgettable event, filled with love, joy, and beauty. I am so grateful to have had the honor of capturing those memories for them to cherish for years to come!
