When Savannah and Kyle reached out to me for their Georgia engagement photos, they had a clear vision in mind: they wanted their photos to have an old money kind of feel with a touch of editorial flair. Fast forward to March 2023, Kyle chose the romantic setting of the Botanical Gardens to propose to Savannah, against a backdrop of her favorite flower, orchids (how freaking intentional!!). This Montaluce Winery engagement photo shoot was a day to remember. Clear skies and abundant sunshine set the stage for our shoot, although the brisk wind added a touch of chill to the air. We timed our session just before golden hour, allowing the sun’s warm glow to feed into the romantic vibe.

A Cinematic Inspiration: Creating Old Money Engagement Photos

Taking cues from movies portraying wealthy families escaping to their Hamptons estates or vineyards for leisurely weekends, I envisioned Savannah and Kyle’s engagement session to be reminiscent of those iconic scenes. Think picnics on manicured lawns, lounging in the sun, and an air of timeless sophistication and romance.

The Montaluce Winery Magic

Montaluce Winery is located in Dahlonega, Georgia, nestled in the picturesque foothills of the North Georgia Mountains. Montaluce Winery is a Tuscan-inspired haven that offers couples a romantic and rustic backdrop for their engagement photos. This winery is known for its gorgeous vineyards, elegant architecture, and breathtaking views. Montaluce Winery provides a perfect blend of Old World charm and Southern hospitality. Whether you’re strolling through the vineyards at sunset or posing against the backdrop of the winery’s Tuscan-style buildings, Montaluce Winery offers endless opportunities to capture timeless and enchanting engagement photos that reflect the beauty of love in a serene and scenic setting among the North Georgia Mountains.

Choosing Montaluce Winery as the setting for their engagement photoshoot was truly the perfect location for capturing the old money elegance Savannah and Kyle envisioned for their timeless engagement photos in Georgia.

Classic Vintage Editorial Meets Playful Romance

Mixing classic vintage editorial poses with candid shots, we managed to strike the perfect balance between old-world elegance and playful romance. One of the standout moments was capturing Savannah and Kyle in a beautifully iconic pose among a flower field, reminiscent of the timeless Edward and Bella photo but with a unique edge that screamed timeless.

Savannah and Kyle: A Love Story

Working with Savannah and Kyle was an absolute delight. Their infectious energy, genuine love, and strong connection made the entire experience enjoyable and heartwarming. Their love story is a testament to the power of genuine connection when two people are truly meant for each other.

I must confess, I’m low-key obsessed with how this engagement session turned out. Every photo captures the beauty of Savannah and Kyle’s love, the old money elegance they envisioned, and the playful romance that defines their relationship. 

If you’re looking for inspiration for your own engagement photoshoot, consider blending classic vintage editorial style with a sprinkle of fun and loving moments. And if you’re dreaming of a setting that combines rustic charm with timeless elegance, Montaluce Winery might just be the perfect backdrop for your love story.
