Laney & Wes… engaged!

Another sunrise session! Though this one was a little more difficult. We rescheduled this engagement session several times starting in April (!) and always got rained out. This morning didn’t seem to be different but we decided to forge ahead and do it no matter what. Laney and Wes’ wedding is coming up in October and we were running out of time. Sometimes my favorite photos come out of less than ideal situations and this was definitely one of those times! It was still pretty dark when we started and the humidity was intense. But I love how the photos turned out – Laney and Wes are so fun and I would love it if all my future brides and grooms were covered in tattoos! I can’t wait for their fall wedding – I know it’s going to be beautiful.

Jennifer & Charlie… Married!

You guys. This wedding was amazing. It had everything you could ever want in a wedding (especially as a photographer!) – a beautiful ceremony in a lovely church, an amazing reception in one of the most charming venues in Kentucky, smiles and laughter all day, and full of wonderful friends and family. It’s the kind of wedding where on the drive home I can’t stop smiling thinking about it. I knew when we did Jennifer and Charlie’s engagement session that their wedding was going to be something special. But I really had no idea how spectacular it was going to be. And, my favorite part – we had so much time for photos! In three different locations! It was a photographer’s dream come true.

AbiGail and Chance… married!

I’m not sure what it’s like where you live, but it’s freezing in Kentucky.  Makes me think of warmer spring days, and of AbiGail and Chance’s wedding on a horse farm in Paris, Kentucky.  It was a beautiful day, full of sunshine and warm breezes. *sigh*

Sam and Brian’s wedding (preview)

It’s been way too long since I’ve blogged anything – this year has been crazy. Winter is coming (I turned on our heat last night!) so soon I will have time to get back to the blog.  I’ve been a part of some sweet weddings this year and I can’t wait to share!

 

This wedding was on the first (real) day of fall. It was chilly, leaves were everywhere, the bride wore a jacket – I loved it. I’m excited to edit the rest of the photos – I’ll be obsessed with Sam’s dress for a while! It was a tulle dream.

Puppy love…

Dogs at weddings are the best.  And the heart on her chest?  Too perfect.

Sara & Damian… married! (preview)

I had a lovely time with these two yesterday at the Griffin Gate Marriott in Lexington, Kentucky.  The first day of summer is a wonderful day for a wedding!  

Katelyn and John… married (a little preview!)

Such a beautiful wedding yesterday at the Cardome Center in Georgetown, Kentucky!  Congrats Katelyn and John!  ❤

 

Thank you John for your service!  Happy Memorial Day!

Kathy & Jay… married!

You may remember Kathy and Jay from their engagement session from last summer.  We had a blast then, and I knew their wedding would be even more so.  These two make my heart so happy – it was a beautiful day full of laughter and sweet moments.  And the wedding was in Midway – which is one of my most favorite small towns in Kentucky!

A quick stop for a little taste of bourbon at Heirloom in Midway.  🙂
