Ran and Linda Henry

    Ran and Linda Henry bring the romance of the mountains to your wedding, even if you don't wed in the Blue Ridge Mountains.  We are two lovebirds who love working together, presenting musical entertainment, photography and keepsake videography at weddings in Florida and Virginia for over twenty five years.

    We were married 8,800 feet up the Colorado Rockies, in a wedding chapel accessible by four wheel drive -- his and hers Suburbans, of course.  We danced back from the altar to "Let's Get It On," and drove one Suburban down the mountains to rock to Lynyrd Skynyrd in the lodge.  We are at home in the Blue Ridge Mountains after raising two daughters in the Florida flatlands, loving the romance in the mist hugging the pines.

    Ran Henry wrote for Tropic, the Sunday Magazine of the Miami Herald, telling South Florida's stories in words and photographs from 1986 until the magazine died in 1998.  His stories have appeared in the St. Petersburg Times since 1982. As writer, photographer and Pop Music Critic for the Florida Times-Union in Jacksonville he was the first to interview surviving members of Lynyrd Skynrd in their hometown, after their tour plane crashed in a Mississippi swamp.  Stories and photographs by Ran Henry have appeared in The Hook, the News-Virginian, the Daily Progress web site and other regional and national publications.  He filmed relief efforts in Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina for NBC-29 TV in Charlottesville, and is official videographer for First Night Virginia.  For five years he taught Writing Strategies at Florida International University in North Miami, where he holds a Master of Fine Arts degree in Creative Writing, and taught Advanced Writing at Virginia Commonwealth University.  Professor Henry teaches Writing Strategies for the BIS program at the University of Virginia, and reveres the story of your wedding.

    Linda Henry knows the many faces of a wedding day.  She is an accomplished photographer, videographer and editor, bringing her unique vision and accessible style to your photo collection and keepsake video.  Her work filming and editing the short film "Refill?" earned screen time and a prize at the Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach Film Festivals.  Her work has been featured in the News-Virginian, the Boar's Head Inn wedding brochure and on websites of wedding venues we love.

    We are proud to work alongside Charlottesville's renowned wedding professionals at historic churches, wineries, hotels, country clubs, estates and hilltops in Virginia's heartland.  It's beautiful up here in the Blue Ridge!  We can point out some cosmic ceremony and reception sites.  Feel free to ask the folks at any wedding venue around about our services, and value.  We are one couple who  help you turn wedding plans into memories to fill your heart and home.

     Anything is possible.  Envision elevating your wedding.
