Intimate wedding at Stappa Vineyard, Orange, CT


As a Connecticut wedding photographer, I have had the privilege of capturing the magic of countless celebrations, from grand affairs to cozy gatherings. While each holds its own charm, there's something undeniably special about intimate weddings. It's a sentiment shared by many in the industry – the intimacy, the closeness, the focus on what truly matters. And when it comes to finding the perfect setting for such an occasion, few places rival the romance of a vineyard.


I had the pleasure of documenting the love story of one beautiful couple amidst the picturesque setting of Stappa Vineyard in Orange, CT. Despite the chill of February, warmth radiated from every corner as family and friends gathered to witness their union.


The ceremony itself was a testament to the depth of emotion and the power of love. As the couple exchanged vows inside the quaint tasting room, with the cozy ambiance of the vineyard enveloping them, there wasn't a dry eye in the house. And when they shared their first dance, it was nothing short of a tear-jerker – a moment so pure and genuine that it lingered in the hearts of all who were present.


But perhaps the most unforgettable moment of the day was the couple's first look. Despite the vineyard's dormant state, its bare vines and rustic charm still provided a stunning backdrop. Against this serene setting, with tendrils of grapevines stretching out towards the horizon, they shared a private moment that was as breathtaking as it was tender. It was a scene straight out of a fairytale – one that perfectly encapsulated the beauty of love in all its forms.


For couples seeking an intimate wedding venue that exudes charm and elegance, Stappa Vineyard is truly a hidden gem. With its stunning natural beauty and warm, inviting atmosphere, it sets the stage for unforgettable moments that will be cherished for a lifetime.

Whether you're exchanging vows surrounded by the vibrant colors of autumn or dancing beneath the stars on a balmy summer evening, Stappa Vineyard offers a backdrop that is as timeless as it is enchanting. And as a wedding photographer, I can't think of a more perfect setting to capture the magic of love in all its splendor.


So here's to love, laughter, and happily ever afters – may they always find their home amidst the vines of Stappa Vineyard.
