The video, which was filmed by King William resident Ginger Topham, received over 4 million views on YouTube and was picked up by CNN, Fox News, Good Morning America, The Today Show, Entertainment Tonight and Inside Edition, among other media sources.
“Thankfully, the groom, Kirk, he let me in on the surprise at the ceremony,” Topham said. “Of course, I had talked about a lot of the wedding day details with the bride, but she didn’t know about it [the dance].”
The reception venue was particularly special because the groom and the bride both danced at Center Stage for the Richmond Ballet, according to Topham.
A few of the groomsmen also are professional dancers.
Topham, who has 10 years of videographer experience, placed the video on YouTube and was surprised after posting that the number of views continued to climb.
“I mean, I’ve definitely filmed some great dances, but this one was so unique,” Topham said. “The video going viral on YouTube — I’ve never had so many views, so that was really exciting.”
Topham said she is thrilled that her video garnered so much attention and was excited to be part of such an experience.
“I think just being visible on so many well-known television networks and programs is always a good thing, so I think that’s — yeah, it definitely would help,” Topham said. “It’s always good in your business to have your name out there so I think that’s definitely helpful.”
Topham works with her father, Mike Topham, at the family-owned business, Mike Topham Photography, which is located in Mechanicsville.
She did say she was unaware of the groom’s plans when she showed up to film the wedding and reception.
