RidgeView Wines Wedding Photography – Corey & Tiffany
Corey and Tiffany’s wedding at RidgeView Wines was a beautiful and emotional celebration, showcasing the perfect blend of heartfelt moments, laughter, and stunning scenery. From the first tear-filled glance as Tiffany walked down the aisle to the joy-filled champagne spray photos, their wedding day was truly one-of-a-kind.
A Unique Connection
Corey and I first met through work, where his passion for helping students in the classroom left a lasting impression. When he asked if I would photograph his wedding, I was incredibly honored. Photography was a top priority for Corey and Tiffany, and they knew from the start that they wanted two photographers to ensure every detail and emotion was captured. Nicole joined me as the second photographer, making it possible to capture both perspectives of their special day.
RidgeView Wines – The Perfect Mid-Sized Venue
RidgeView Wines is a dream venue for couples looking for an all-in-one location. With accommodation, ceremony sites, and reception spaces all onsite, it’s ideal for a seamless wedding experience. For Corey and Tiffany’s intimate wedding of 60 guests, it provided the perfect balance of elegance and comfort, with everything within walking distance.
The venue features separate cabins for the bridal parties, ensuring privacy during the morning preparations. RidgeView’s versatility extends to its stunning outdoor ceremony locations, rolling vineyards, and a reception space that can adapt to the weather—perfect for a mid-sized wedding in the Hunter Valley.
Morning Preparations
The day began at Corey’s cabin, where he and his groomsmen enjoyed a relaxed morning before heading to a nearby vineyard for some pre-ceremony photos. Afterward, we made the short walk to Tiffany’s cabin, where Nicole captured moments with the bride and her bridesmaids while I focused on the intricate details Tiffany had thoughtfully prepared.
Tiffany’s bridal look was nothing short of stunning. Her modern hairstyle, created by Braid Lab, featured delicate charms woven into her hair, complemented beautifully by her flawless makeup by Caitlyn Molesworth MUA. A touching moment was her first look with her father, a simple yet profound addition to the day that only took a few minutes but created memories that will last a lifetime.
The Ceremony
Set against the serene backdrop of RidgeView Wines’ deck, the ceremony featured a waterfront view framed by rolling vineyards. As Tiffany walked down the aisle, emotions ran high, with heartfelt tears shared by the couple and their guests.
After the “I dos,” we captured a group photo and family portraits before exploring the venue with the bridal party. RidgeView’s layout made it easy to move from one stunning backdrop to another without needing transport—every corner of the property offered something unique for their wedding photos.
Stunning Photo Opportunities
RidgeView Wines offers a diverse range of photo locations, from sprawling vineyards to open fields, a charming garden, and two striking trees that serve as natural focal points. We elevated the energy with a fun champagne spray photo featuring the bridal party—a simple yet memorable addition to the day.
For Corey and Tiffany’s couple portraits, we embraced RidgeView’s variety, capturing both intimate and grand moments that reflected the love and joy of their day.
The Reception
The reception space was filled with love and laughter, with Corey and Tiffany’s closest family and friends cheering them on. The venue’s versatility shone through, as the weather was overcast, so the deck’s walls were kept down to maintain warmth. In warmer weather, these walls can be opened to expand the space and embrace the surrounding landscape.
The evening was filled with heartfelt speeches, delicious food, and entertainment provided by The Traveling Celebrant, who kept guests engaged with fun reception games. The night reached its peak with Corey and Tiffany’s first dance—a perfect ending to an unforgettable day.
Capturing the Day
Corey and Tiffany chose our 8-hour photography package with a second shooter, ensuring every moment was documented. From the morning preparations to the dance floor, we provided a comprehensive gallery of their special day that they’ll treasure forever.
