I met Kerri almost 5 years ago at a wedding I was shooting in the mountains. Kerri was the hairstylist. I love meeting other vendors, but normally there just isn’t much time to chat, this wedding was no different in terms of chatting time, but there was something that clicked between Kerri and I that had us planning a coffee date for the following week. Turns out, Kerri is a good friend of an acquaintance and we are interconnected with lots of mutual friends. So began an extremely mutually beneficial business relationship and friendship- we both are huge advocates for trading services and because of Kerri’s encouragement I have traded for things like my cut/colours, dog grooming, acupuncture, cleanses, professional cakes, personal training and the list goes on. It’s pretty awesome. Kerri has been a mainstay in my life for the last 5 years and I have always looked forward to our chats and so when Karl came on to the picture (again, for the very first time) I was absolutely thrilled. Kerri and Karl were inseparable at a young age, but circumstances as they were would see them part ways for years. However, life has a strange way of working itself out, and Kerri found herself at a wedding that Karl also happened to be attending. Some might call it fate, destiny, luck. I love stories like this, friends consider me a hopeless romantic and a believer in love and I have to say, it’s just who I am. Kerri and Karl are meant to be and just to solidify the bond, they partnered for life in addition to growing their beautiful family. I loved working with Kerri on their elopement, what a different experience! Kerri pretty much left the location and the time of the ceremony up to me! I immediately thought of the docks at the fish hatchery and Kerri knew Karl would love that. It was a beautiful moment shared between two people and I am so honored to have been a part of it. Enjoy!
