October brought some of the most beautiful weather of the entire year with it, and it was no exception for the wedding of Jessica and Corey. They made the most of this stunning autumn day with their Salted Vines Winery wedding. And Rachel was delighted to join them.
Getting Ready in Bethany Beach
After a rather relaxing drive down through Delaware, Rachel arrived at the Ocean Suites in Bethany Beach, where Jessica was getting ready. The room was abuzz and the bride to be was putting the finishing touches on her makeup. When she showed us her details, we almost swooned over her incredible fucshia heels. The way they popped was amazing. With a beach full of happy sunbathers just a few feet away, Jessica slipped into her amazing dress and we were soon off to the vineyard so she could marry Corey!
Before the ceremony started, we caught up with Corey and the guys. All dapper in their light grey suits, we decided to take the chance to make their “boy-band” album cover photo. The giant tractor tires in the middle of an open field did just the trick. Sides aching from laughter, we made our way to the ceremony space.
Ceremony at Salted Vines Winery
Butting up to the vineyard rows was a lovely arbor. Under it, Corey waited for his love to walk down the aisle. And after a short ride in the back of a pickup truck, she did. An absolute vision. Corey’s eyes very quickly melted, as did our hearts. This was it. And they were so excited. They were married by their dear friend who, though he is normally a little goofy, was deeply aware of the importance of his task, and honored them with a beautiful ceremony.
After vows and rings were exchanged, they shared an incredible kiss that made everyone blush. Then we whisked them away for some couple’s portraits.

The light began to turn gold, and it made for some truly spectacular portraits. These two could be models with ease, not only because they’re both stunning, but also the way they fell together so naturally and beautifully. There was not a look, a kiss, an embrace that wasn’t worth photographing. After getting everything we wanted and then some, the newlyweds were ready to get the party started. Back to the tent we went.
Reception at Salted Vines Winery
Friends and family were waiting under the tent as Jessica and Corey made their grand entrance as husband and wife. Their first dance was beautiful and tender. The way Corey looked at her made our hearts so very happy for them. There’s something about seeing a couple that has this kind of excitement for their wedding day and wears their heart on their sleeve. You don’t have to wonder what this means to them or how they’re processing. It’s right on their face and it’s beautiful to behold.
The night wore away in dancing, the autumn moon rose as well as many glasses, and the celebration continued even after we had to take our leave.
Jessica and Corey, all the very best to you in your new life together! We hope it’s full of incredible joys and many lovely memories!
What a beautiful wedding at Salted Vines Winery!
