Kerri & Ryan = Rose Hill Estate Wedding Day!

Rose Hill Estate Wedding Day  |  Kerri & Ryan  |  October 21, 2022

Kerri’s sweet dad, Dwayne, kept saying over and over in amazement what a PERFECT day it was for his little girl’s wedding day. With tears in his eyes, he said it was exactly the day Kerri had dreamed of her whole life, and it just made him so happy to see HER happy!!! Gosh, how precious is that?! But he was right – we had sunshine ALL DAY LONG without a cloud in sight, and no winds – a smooth timeline making for a day that went AHEAD of schedule, sweet bridal parties to make the day fun, and the dreamiest venue with a colorfully styled design! 🙂

Kerri and her girls were busy getting glammed upstairs by the WINK Hair and Makeup team. All the girls ended up choosing a hairstyle with their hair down – and it complemented Kerri’s hairstyle so beautifully! Kerri is a very organized and timely bride – so I LOVED how she also kept everyone on time and it made for such an enjoyable morning where no one was rushed or stressed!!! 🙂

Ryan and his guys enjoyed a morning of clay shooting, eating lunch, and playing poker downstairs! All the guys looked so handsome and classic in their black tuxes – and I just loved looking at Phillip’s photos of Ryan and how he was always laughing and having fun with his friends!

Kerri did a First Look with her bridesmaids & then one with her precious dad. We just LOVE her dad – he was just the sweetest when seeing Kerri, and all his kind words are exactly what a bride HOPES her dad would say when seeing her. It brought me to tears! I loved looking up and seeing Kerri’s mom peeking out a window to watch the First Look and wiping away tears of her own.

The ceremony took place on the front of the Manor house, and Expressions of Love Florist did an incredible job (as always) with creating beautiful floral pieces – with such texture and colors! The bright colors were such a nice contrast between the black/white of the Manor House. The ceremony was beautiful and I love that Ryan & Kerri chose to have communion together as their first act as husband and wife! It was really meaningful. After the ceremony & all the portraits – Kerri & Ryan dug up their bourbon and then entered their reception!

Rocky Top Catering served the guests delicious chicken, Prime Rib, mashed potatoes, rolls, salad, and green beans! Around the Table designed a STUNNING cake with 3 different flavors! The guests were also treated to an open bar, and LOTS of dancing! Dow Oak Events kept the dance floor PACKED, and I had the BEST evening watching how much FUN Kerri and Ryan were having together dancing! I just kept smiling and asking Phillip, “Aren’t they the CUTEST?!” – I think Kerri had the MOST FUN at her wedding, and it was awesome. They passed glow sticks and lighted glasses to their guests, and everyone just enjoyed themselves so much!!!

At the end of the evening, Ryan & Kerri had a final last dance together, and then it was time for sparklers!!! Kerri had such a fun day that she wiped away tears during their last dance saying she didn’t want the day to end!!!! 🙂

It was such a beautiful day – and we are SO honored to have been part of it! Congratulations Ryan and Kerri! We are so happy for you!!!! I hope you all love seeing my favorite photos from their Rose Hill wedding day. ENJOY!!!!
