Ian Lozada: Images and Words

It's been a great year for great wedding venues, and last weekend was no exception. Bethany and Ryan chose to get married at the gorgeous Acres of Land Winery in Richmond. If you haven't been there, make the drive down I-75 and check out the tasting room and their restaurant as well. For those of you who like to try something different, I recommend the Vignoles (white wine) and especially the Chambourcin (a red you can chill).

For Bethany, after having her hair done at The Color Room, she went back to the nearby Doubletree Suites on Richmond Road in Lexington to meet up with her bridesmaids and get their makeup done. On one of my first Lexington visits, I stayed at what was then the Sheraton Suites, and it's still a beautiful hotel-- the interior balconies overlooking the lobby are one of my favorite features in any area hotel.











Bethany and Ryan had the actual ceremony in a section of the vineyard at Acres of Land called The Colonel's Point. With the vineyard right next to you, you have the setup right along this area where the hill just falls away, to a tremendous view. Stunning.











After the ceremony and some formals, Bethany and Ryan escaped into the Barrel Room for a few moments alone and some portraits, before heading into their reception.











It was a beautiful day with a truly delightful couple! Many thanks to Jennifer Creed for helping with the second shooting!
