Gina + Zach

Wedding
September, 2025

When you think of a wedding inspired by Bridgerton, full of French chateau romance and whimsical details, Gina and Zach’s DuGaren Vineyard wedding was the perfect vision brought to life. With light blue, sage, and cream tones and florals everywhere you looked, the day felt like stepping into the pages of a timeless love story. Sharing their vows together during their first touch left them both with happy tears in their eyes.

Choosing North Carolina for their celebration was especially meaningful. Gina’s family is from Maine, Zach’s from Texas, and they wanted a place where their loved ones could gather easily. Most importantly, they chose DuGaren Vineyard not only for it’s lovely charm, but so that Gina’s grandmother could attend. As the first grandchild to get married, the excitement in her family was absolutely contagious, and the vineyard setting created the ideal backdrop for this unforgettable moment.

Their love story already sounds like something out of a romance novel. Zach proposed while on a dreamy trip to Tulum, Mexico, and their wedding had a special guest of honor loved by them both- their sweet dog Archie! Guests traveled from near and far to celebrate at DuGaren Vineyard, making it not only a union of two people but also a beautiful coming together of families and cultures.

Gina looked stunning in her gown from Winnie Couture, while Zach and his groomsmen were sharp in their Generation Tux suits. The florals by Jade Floral added lush, overflowing beauty that perfectly matched the vineyard’s garden feel. Monarch Event Planning made sure everything ran smoothly so Zach and Gina could be fully present in their celebration and dance their hearts out with their guests on the dance floor!

The reception was filled with laughter, love, and crazy dance moves- even some breakdancing! Best Impressions served an incredible meal that included my all-time favorite food (sushi!), and Split Second Sound kept the energy high through the whole night. Every detail at DuGaren Vineyard reflected Gina and Zach’s personalities and vision, from their heartfelt ceremony to the sparkling send-off under the stars.

I am so thankful I had the honor of capturing Gina and Zach’s DuGaren Vineyard wedding. Their joy, their families’ excitement, and the magic of this gorgeous vineyard venue all came together to create an unforgettable day. Congratulations again, Gina and Zach- you’ve set the tone for a beautiful forever together!
