Kristen Dillon (26, Marketing Professional) met Keith McCalla (26, Accountant) at the University of Richmond while the two pursued their Bachelor’s degrees. The two began dating and continued their romance after graduation. After working in Richmond the two decided to migrate north to Keith’s hometown– Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Before packing the moving van, Keith planned a surprise proposal. On May 18, 2013 Kristen and Keith went on a winery tour through Charlottesville, Virginia. After touring wine country Keith took Kristen back to the University of Richmond, where their love story began, to ask her hand. Keith proposed on bended knee, presenting Kristen with a diamond stunner. During their 15 month long engagement, Kristen and Keith planned a classic summer wedding. The two tied the knot at the Church of the Messiah United Methodist in Westerville, Ohio, the same church in which Kristen was baptized as a child. The bride and groom invited their 200 guests to celebrate their union at the Pinnacle Golf Club in Grove City, Ohio. Photographer Simon Yao of Simon Yao Studio captured every moment of the couples’ big day.
