Michael and I have come to realize that we love Charlottesville!! Why?! Because one day we want to retire on top of a rolling hill that overlooks the blue ridge mountains! We love the rolling hills and the beautiful historic estates and vineyards. It’s the perfect place to start a brand new season of your life. Hutch and Kerri said their vows on the gorgeous grounds of King Family Vineyard with horses and mountains as their backdrop. It was a beautiful 80 degrees and their day couldn’t have gone any smoother! I’m biased because the girls were in light teal dresses but everything was stunning and Kerri picked the perfect palette for a mid June wedding! As I entered the bridal suite, I was greeted by not one but TWO KJ Brides!
Katie was Kerri’s wonderful matron of honor and I just loved seeing her and having her in a bridal party! There’s something so special about being a part of someone’s wedding day from beginning to end! Michael and I loved photographing this amazing day and we felt spoiled because of how convenient this whole event way! EVERYTHING was in the same location. No golf cart needed! Getting ready locations, ceremony, reception, portrait locations… it was all within walking distance and that saved us so much time!
I always have favorite moments at each wedding that I photograph. Sometimes they’re funny moments and sometimes they are sweet, sentimental moments. I think all of my favorite moment’s from Hutch and Kerri’s wedding day were sentimental! The daddy/daughter first look had EVERYONE in tears… Kerri’s brother sang “All of Me” during the ceremony and one of Kerri’s bridesmaids literally couldn’t stop get teary ALL DAY LONG, it was the cutest thing! Wedding days are beautiful but wedding days full of emotion and excitement are the BEST!! Enjoy this gorgeous Charlottesville wedding! And Congrats to Hutch and Kerri! I hope Jamaica is treating you very well!!
