Lori & Keith

Featured on Beloved DarlingBlackberry Farm Wedding Vow Renewal

We’d like to share this Blackberry Farm wedding vow renewal with you today! Lori and Keith are celebrating their 17th wedding anniversary this year, and they traveled from Richmond to Blackberry Farm for a romantic getaway during the week of Valentine’s Day. Not only was it an opportunity to renew their vows, but it was also Lori’s birthday. Their getaway was full of celebrations!

We met Lori and Keith on Monday evening at Yallerhammer Pavilion at Blackberry Farm. It was absolutely gorgeous, with sunset reflections in the water, smoke from the fireplace lightly floating out of the chimney, and horses grazing in the adjacent field. Yallerhammer Pavilion is a popular location on the farm for weddings and rehearsal dinners.

Lori and Keith wrote their own vows and read them to each other in front of the fireplace in the candlelit pavilion. It was a romantic wedding vow renewal, and this sweet couple celebrated their continued love for each other.

“True love is eternal, infinite, and always like itself. It is equal and pure, without violent demonstrations:
it is seen with white hairs and is always young in the heart.” — Honore de Balzac

After their wedding vow renewal, we chatted about how they first met, their favorite date, and their wedding in Chattanooga nearly 17 years ago. As Lori and Keith were telling us their love story, they laughed together, exchanged glances and nods, and told their pieces of the stories as if they were reliving it again.

Lori and Keith met while working at a jewelry store together, and their first date included an evening out — they chatted until 3 am the next morning. Although Lori originally thought it was a group of people from the jewelry store going out together, Keith told everyone not to come so it would just be the two of them!

One of their favorite dates early in their relationship included Keith buying Lori a formal gown, whisking her away on a last-minute flight to Texas, and taking a limo to an amazing restaurant that was an antique store during by day and a five-star restaurant by night. They had dinner in the restaurant’s wine cellar dining room that had a 6+ month waiting list. The restaurant just so happened to have a cancellation that evening, so Lori & Keith got the romantic dining room!

It was an honor to capture Lori and Keith’s wedding vow renewal at Blackberry Farm. To meet such a sweet couple, laugh with them as they told us their love story, see how proud they are of their two daughters as they told us about each of them, and celebrate their continued love for each other.

Many thanks to Don of Midnight Magic Studios for referring us to Lori & Keith!
