I’m a true believer that everything happens for a reason.  Only months before Keri and Caleb’s wedding, this awesome couple received the news that their original wedding venue was closing.  Not something that any bride EVER wants to hear.  But Keri did what she had to do and basically re-planned her wedding.  Changing the date, changing the venue, and even finding me as her new photographer.  While I don’t exactly know what that reason is for this happening to Keri and Caleb, I am thankful that their path led them to me, as it was truly an honor to witness their love and I had a great time getting to know this fun couple.
Knowing what stress they must have gone through, I felt extra compelled to give them beautiful images to look at to remember their perfect day.  And it really was a perfect day.  La Banque at the Seaplane Base, settled right along the shores of the Susquehanna River in Havre de Grace, was an absolutely beautiful location for their wedding.  There was a strong threat of rain for right at ceremony time and when we would be taking all of their photos and all I kept thinking was please do not have it rain out this poor girl’s waterfront wedding, she has already been through enough with her venue closing.  It just didn’t seem fair.  I guess the weather was in agreement because, while it had poured just about an hour prior, it stopped and held off in order for them to have their waterfront ceremony and take some portraits out on the dock.
Their nautical day was full of sweet touches and fun moments.  Keri and Caleb’s big ball of love Bernese Mountain Dog, Fin, served as ring bearer and literally dragged Caleb’s sister down the aisle.  The father/daughter dance with Keri and her father was tear-filled and heart touching.  Caleb had a special dance with his Grandmother and it was just adorable.  Then the rest of the reception was crazy with goofy hats and blow-up instruments.  There was even an adult game of musical chairs in which Keri won.  Obviously  🙂
