It was so secured (quadruple wrapped and sealed with a few too many staples which were kind of comforting) I may not reset all my cards when I get back. I left my bank and credit cards behind and they promptly notified my team over WeChat and mailed (SF express) it to my next hotel two provinces over in under three days. There are lots of buddhist knick knacks, art and statues on the 4th floor but I've been assured all are inanimate and definitely not haunted. The ambient cricket sounds they pipe in the common areas are a nice touch. ![]() Located in a music school district, its quiet at night and there's soothing string music wafting from nearly dorms during the day. The bacon ain't like it is back home but you get enough pork travelling through China anyways. Breakfast selection is varied and healthy with plenty of clean vegetables. ![]() This hotel is firmly in the middle if not leaning towards the budget end of things but you definitely get your monies worth and then some. The mandarin-speaking Chinese travellers sharing the common areas and breakfast areas were respectful, not boisterous and smoked outside. The hotel's theming attracts a certain kind of domestic clientele, who, if you've ever travelled in China, can be a deciding factor of whether your stay will be enjoyable. This communication issue was really the only letdown of an otherwise fine hotel.… Other reviews suggest there are plenty of nice restaurants around - which is great when you have time to look for them - but we didn't appreciate having to scour the streets after a really long day. For what it's worth, we rarely eat at hotel restaurants and prefer to explore the area, but with a packed itinerary in Chengdu we were looking forward to an easy evening meal, and the room had a lovely table setup perfect for room service. Maybe after a few more days we would've discovered what is on the menu! In fairness, we are the foreigners and we are at fault for not speaking Chinese, but perhaps we expected too much based on other reviews. This is not an exaggeration: it actually took us two days of staying at the hotel and several conversations with the receptionist over those days to ascertain that there is no restaurant and that room service ends at 8pm. There *is* room service, which would have been lovely but the staff speak such poor English that it is virtually impossible to order, even with the usual translation apps that had gotten us by in far more remote parts of China. Contrary to what the hotel listing says, there is no restaurant. Of course if you have travelled at all in China then you must know it was a relief to have only one such other guest instead of many. The hotel didn’t seem to be full but it was quiet and peaceful, apart from one businessman at breakfast who had not yet learned that he need not talk into his phone as though communicating over the entire distance of the call. They really are Zen as the name suggests, with tasteful decor and well-maintained.

Their ceremony happened on top of the hill overlooking the vineyard and distant mountains (my favorite spot at the venue). While Rob and Samee cooled off inside, their guests arrived with Stone Tower Winery‘s cold Rose waiting for them. It was very evident how much family means to them! INSTEAD, they prioritized family and had pictures taken with immediate and extended family before and after the ceremony. □Īlso, you might notice that because they didn’t have a traditional wedding party, there aren’t any wedding party photos. HA! Men are such troopers when it comes to dressing up for a wedding on a hot summer day. ![]() The only thing that reminded me of the heat was when I had Rob take off his suit jacket for a few photos to give him a cooling break. Samee was the most beautiful bride!!! And I’ll admit, their wedding was a HOT one, but it’s funny how quickly I forgot that when I was looking through their gallery. All of their costume parties in the past, and even their wedding day last year, didn’t prepare him for this moment. When Samee gave Rob the cue to turn around, he had the look of pure admiration. And the fact that we were there when the hydrangeas were in full bloom couldn’t have been more perfect! It reminded me of wine barrels which tied in so nicely with the winery theme. Stone Tower Winery is so expansive with so many pretty backdrops! But when it came to the first look, they loved the wooden hobbit door. When I met with Rob and Samee for their final meeting, we strategized a plan for where to take photos. I loved the classic, clean look he had going on… BUT … Wait until you see the print inside of his suit jacket! HAHA! So fun!Īfter Rob and Samee were all dressed, we gave them the go ahead to coordinate the first look. Yet, I’m sure it all felt SO different from their wedding day last year. <3ĭown the road, my sweet assistant, Alexis El Massih Photography, was photographing Rob getting ready. ![]() Their bond is so evident, as you’ll see below. HAHA! But when her father saw her, it brought tears to my eyes. ![]() It was like a cheerleading squad squealing when she revealed herself. □ And of COURSE, I was a fan since it came from my favorite bridal boutique, The Bridal Room! And she looked STUNNING, especially with her hair and makeup done by Jeanette Moore and Erica Basha!! My favorite part was when everyone saw her. Even though Samee and Rob already tied the knot, she wanted her original dress. Needless to say, the house was a big party in itself! It was a super fun vibe rushing around getting ready for the big day. But because Rob and Samee didn’t have a traditional bridal party, she had all of her closest family and friends. When I typically arrive at the bridal suite, I usually find the parents of the couple and the bridal party. HAHA! They are not only super cute but super fun!!! And if you see their party below, I believe you’ll see that too!Ĭheck out their beautiful day through my lens!!! A CLASSIC FLORAL WEDDING AT STONE TOWER WINERY, VIRGINIA. □ One thing that cracked me up during their vows was hearing about their costume parties. We got together around Christmas 2019 for their engagement session with their adorable pup, Pheobe, in their charming (new at the time) Alexandria house! Since then, it sounds like they have enjoyed the married life together. Thinking back to when we first talked about their big day, it was about TWO years ago. It was by far one of my favorite weddings this year!!! In fact, Samee reached out to me last fall saying they were going to completely cancel due to Virginia restrictions.Īfter some time away from planning and restrictions were lifted, Samee and Rob decided to move forward with an August 2021 celebration! I was SO honored that Samee and Rob had me as their photographer at Stone Tower Winery, despite all of the changes. And after trying to plan a celebration with family and friends, their postponement plans were ending up at a dead-end time and time again. Even though they didn’t get to have their Plan A wedding, I feel like this Plan C… or Plan Z … (Who knows how many plans they went through) worked out for the best!!! Rob and Samee tied the knot last May, despite all challenges they faced to even make that happen. Rob and Samee went through so much to get to this party. I was going to publish this wedding on the blog tomorrow … But I couldn’t wait another day!!! This wedding is one of my favorite Stone Tower Winery weddings, as a photographer, for many reasons. ![]() ![]() It is therefore important to download the software on your computer by purchasing a licence via Surfspot or taking a monthly subscription from Adobe.
