As we pretended to walk around the Chapel, killing time until our surprise proposal at Albemarle Estate, we were amazed at the incredible luck that James & Brittany had! Not only was the weather perfect, but James managed to pick a proposal day that lined up perfectly with peak Fall foliage! The truly fun part about a proposal, however, is hearing the conversations that follow. Brittany was surprised, but we could tell she had a hunch what was going to happen that day! This didn’t tamper any of the joy though! These two were bubbly and flirty as they strolled around Albemarle Estate and through the vines, marvelling about all the future would hold.

For these two Florida natives, the rolling hills and foliage were a treat. As we were planning with James in advance, we learned that this wasn’t their first time to Charlottesville. Brittany and James are wine lovers who talked about Charlottesville wine like pros! We have the feeling that with their love of wine and now this milestone added in, these two won’t stay away from the area for long.

Brittany & James,

We loved being a part of this journey with you two! We hope that these images always remind you of the love you have for each other, and of your surprise proposal at Albemarle Estate. We’re also so glad that we got to spend a few moments with your family afterward, who were waiting on top of the hill at the vineyards to surprise Brittany… again!

With love,
Sarah + Hunter
