One Week Married!
Last weekend at Gallison Hall, we celebrated the most fun and wonderful couple as they said “I do!” Their October wedding was a dream come true, with beautiful peachy pinks, lush greens, and soft cream details setting the perfect scene. The heart-shaped cake by @cakebloom was a sweet reflection of their love, and every moment was filled with joy and laughter. You didn’t see Irina’s smile fade once that day. Let’s share some big congratulations to @irinamajumdar and Pete ♥️ Like and comment below

It’s going to be a gorgeous weekend! The perfect time to pop open a bottle of our Sparkling Rosé 💖
The color of the wine is like a pink sunset behind the Blue Ridge Mountains, with fresh floral aromas, accented by strawberries, baked apples, and toasted brioche. The mouthfeel is crisp, beautiful, and elegant, with notes of candied red fruits and a delicate, creamy mousse. This Brut-style wine is a treat! If you're visiting Veritas soon, be sure to order a glass or a bottle, or buy online today 🍾

Wake up Roanoke. 🌄
Vaulted ceilings, soft morning light, and a skyline that reminds you exactly where you are.
Take it all in before the day begins (or after it winds down). This is Roanoke, from your room. 📸 by @serapetras
Family stories are one of my favorite things to witness — the tenderness, the beautiful chaos, the giggles that unfold.
After a recent session, I received the kindest note, and it meant more than I can say:
“I did not want to cry tonight… but the photographs you captured are absolutely the most precious gift of the holiday season. You caught the personalities, the emotions, the chaos, the goofy faces, the giggles—so perfectly. These photos are everything, and I’m so grateful for them… and for you.”
Creating work that feels honest and artful — work that lets families truly see themselves — is such a privilege. Every season, I’m reminded just how meaningful these small, fleeting moments really are.
Thank you to everyone who stepped in front of my camera this year. Your trust, your warmth, and your love fill my heart more than you know.

New case study now live on our website: Blending beauty and hospitality: the greenhouse at @pippinhillfarm 🍷
🔗 Tap the link in our bio to read the full case study
We were thrilled when the team at Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyards reached out to us to design and build a greenhouse worthy of their stunning venue in Virginia wine country. Known for its seamless blend of beauty, hospitality, and farm to table excellence, Pippin Hill provided the perfect setting for a truly special Alitex project.
The result is a 25’ x 25’ traditional custom greenhouse, finished in Olive Green with a central cupola, connecting directly to the main building. The space is used for private lunches, wine dinners, and creative workshops - as well as year-round growing for the estate’s award-winning kitchen.
A huge thank you to Lynn and Dean for sharing their story and insights in this case study. We loved learning more about how the greenhouse has become such an integral part of life at Pippin Hill.
