A Day Among the Vines

Stephanie & Michael’s Engagement Session at The Cottage Vineyard & Winery

There’s something inherently timeless about vineyards—the way the light spills across rows of vines, the gentle rolling hills, and the peaceful hum of natural all around. When Stephanie and Michael shared their vision for a romantic yet laid-back engagement session, The Cottage Vineyard & Winery in Cleveland, Georgia was a perfect setting.

The North Georgia mountains provided a breathtaking backdrop as we explored the winery grounds, capturing moments that felt natural authentic, and deeply romantic. Stephanie’s flowing dress and Michael’s relaxed but polished look paired beautifully with the rustic elegance of the vineyard.

We started right outside the tasting room, with sweeping views and sat down on the swing bench where Michael proposed to Stephanie. We then wandered towards the barn for some creative photos. Then off to a trail that lead us to rolling hills between the grape vines.

From playful strolls between the vines to quiet moments enjoying a glass of wine, this session was a perfect reflection of who they are as a couple: joyful, connected, and ready for life’s next big adventure together.
