It’s not often that you get to shoot a wedding planner’s wedding, and when you do, it’s quite the dream! Kerri, from Blush Events, is a talented designer, planner, and one of the sweetest people in the world. If you are looking around for a planner, don’t hesitate to reach out to her! She does her job gracefully while also being down to earth. She was such a beautiful bride, and I could not have been happier for her and Randy.
They met for the first time on Kerri’s first day of high school — high school sweet hearts!! She was a freshmen, he was a sophomore. They dated off and on, and reconnected years after they graduated. They met up and fell in love all over again years later, but this time as adults!
When Randy knew it was time to make things official, he planned to take Kerri to a comedian’s show where they would get all dressed up. They first stopped at his mom’s house where they ate dinner, and had a glass of champagne…. But no ordinary glass of champagne! In the bottom of Kerri’s was the engagement ring!! They celebrated with the family and the rest was history!
On the day of their elopement, a forecast of potential thunderstorms turned into a beautiful mid 70’s bright sunny day! There was a breeze that I thought added a great feeling to their film. They had their ceremony at The Virginia House – which is one of the most enchanting, historical venues right outside the city! The architecture was actually transported from England to Richmond VA in 1925. It’s situated right along the James River, which made for shooting aerials quite the treat.
I was incredibly honored Kerri chose me to capture their intimate, sweet elopement & ceremony. I wish Kerri and Randy all the best as they begin their wedded lives together!
