Katie and Steve - Blowing Rock Wedding Videography at Chetola Resort
Blowing Rock Wedding Film - Katie and Steve had a fun-filled weekend at Chetola Resort in Blowing Rock, and we were lucky enough to be part of the celebrations as photographers and filmmakers. We created this five-minute film of their wedding to showcase highlights from the rehearsal and the wedding day. Be sure to check out the photographs we did for them too!
From the moment I spoke with Katie about her wedding day, I knew we were in for an unforgettable experience! She and Steve radiated positivity and joy, making me feel truly privileged to be a part of their celebration.
The festivities began on a drizzly September afternoon at Chetola Resort in Blowing Rock. My team and I arrived early to explore the beautiful surroundings, fly the drone, and capture some fantastic initial footage for the wedding video—stay tuned for that! During the heartfelt rehearsal by the water, a favorite fishing spot of Katie's dad, Katie donned her mother's wedding dress, creating a beautiful connection to her past.
The following day overflowed with laughter, happy tears, and cherished memories from the 30 years Katie and her family have spent at this beloved place. It was profoundly special to hold the ceremony at the very spot where her father's ashes rest, symbolizing the unbreakable bond of family.
As guests eagerly awaited the ceremony, an unexpected shower broke out. I heard someone remark, “These are tears of joy from Katie's father in heaven,” which perfectly captured the sentiment. Everyone quickly found shelter in a nearby tent, and we pivoted to hold the ceremony there.
Amid brief moments of sunshine, we managed to capture stunning photographs of Katie and Steve, even amidst the rain. The evening was filled with joy as the newlyweds celebrated with their wonderful family and friends. It was a delight to capture every moment of this fun-filled night!
