What an honor to film a destination wedding video at Keeneland! Nestled in the rolling hills of central Kentucky with picturesque views from virtually every angle, Keeneland boasts some of the most exclusive and elegant amenities for a wedding party. Jay and Lisa are from Murfreesboro, Tennessee but chose to hold their wedding at Keeneland after falling in love with the rich tradition, beautiful scenery and fun atmosphere this special venue provided.
We met up with Lisa and Jay just as they returned from the starting gate where they were having photos snapped by two of our favorite photographers, Gabe and Mary Lawson with Honey Heart Photography. From the first moment we arrived Jay and Lisa went out of their way to make us feel welcomed…and they sure were ready to get the wedding party started! After a couple hours laughing and enjoying the pre-wedding festivities while filming, we moved downstairs and setup our gear for the ceremony.
The ceremony was held “trackside” where guests sat on the coveted green benches while taking in the stunning perspectives of the winner’s circle and the paddock with the grandstand in view to the left. Stunning spring floral arrangements by Hide & Seek Design adorned the ceremony location (way to go, Erica!) as the minister gracefully led Jay and Lisa through their wedding vows. (One thing is for certain: no photos or wedding video will do justice to the views at Keeneland!)
After the ceremony, the reception took place on the fourth floor of Keeneland (the Kentucky and Lexington dining rooms) and offered awe-inspiring panoramic perspectives of the track at sunset (not to mention the perfect spot for one heck of a celebration!).
Jay and Lisa lined up some incredible talent for the reception. Jay’s friend and Nashville-based musician Joe Harvey played an acoustic set while guests dined on a delicious meal prepared by Turf Catering, and once the traditional first dance was out of the way the bride and groom broke it down thanks to the amazing sounds of the Joe Harvey Band. Although our ears were ringing the next day, it certainly was worth it to experience this band up-close and personal while filming this fun wedding video.
From our perspective this wedding video was an absolute joy to capture and we’re grateful to Jay and Lisa for choosing us as their wedding videographers.
