Kelly and Tony were/are as in love as any one couple I’ve ever met.   They had their wedding at the Duncan Memorial Chapel in Crestwood, Kentucky.  It was a beautiful chapel in a unique setting.   When Tony looked at Kelli the love poured from his eyes.  It was such an honor to be a witness and to capture, a wedding that I truly believe will last a lifetime.

Kristen and Greg were married at St. Theresa in Nelson County, Kentucky.  If anyone knows me, they know I love to observe people, I could sit for hours at a park or a restaurant and watch others with their family and friends while the world goes on around me.  Not to judge, but to see the beauty in everyone.  That is why I love photography,  I can observe and “capture” .  Young couples in love are fun because the room is filled with so much promise, they have so many plans for the future, buying a home, starting a family-having children, so many dreams. 

Kristen was absolutely breath taking.  She and her family are some of the nicest people I’ve ever met and it was such an honor to capture their wedding.

Sara and Tau are a wonderful couple.  They had their wedding on the CQ Princess at Captains Quarters in Prospect, Kentucky.  It was a BEAUTIFUL September morning.  The week leading up to the wedding the weather was just horrible and I was a hoping for great weather for their sail.  And it was just that…..

Sara looked stunning, she is as funny as she is beautiful.  A lot of times after I photograph new families and people, I almost feel like we become friends….no exception with Sara.  After spending a short time with her,  I felt like I’d known her for years!   Best wishes, Sara and Tau for many years of happiness.

When I think of Scott and Angie, the lyrics of a song come to mind....God Bless, the broken road that led me straight to you (or in their situation "back" to you).  There is something special about the simplicity of marrying a more experienced couple.  The concentration isn't on the hoopla of a grand produced ceremony but rather than the love the two have for each other. 

 

Angie and Scott were high school sweethearts who have gone through many dead end trails searching for their path to the top of the mountain but it obvious they are there now!  They couldn't appear to be more in love. 

 

Angie is such a dear friend and it was pleasure capturing her special day.

We come to love by not finding the perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly  -Sam Keen  (one of my favorite quotes on finding love)

Susan and Randy were alot of fun and so relaxed on their wedding day, which made taking their photographs a breeze!

John and Lindsay had their wedding and reception at the Bodley Bullock House in Lexington, Kentucky on a late July evening. 

 

It was a small, quaint, beautiful and intimate wedding.  Being the photographer, I get the privilege of witnessing many special moments that many may not and as Lindsay walked down the spindled staircase to meet her father she looked at him and said "this is how I always dreamed my wedding would be."  As the ceremony began it was filled with emotions, tears, smiles and support as every guest was a close friend or family member. 

 

Lindsay had a few key photographs in mind, and it was our goal to capture what she wanted....enjoy a few of my favorites. 

 

Congratulations John and Lindsay!

This weekend I photographed Monica and Chad and I was in their presence for less than five minutes and knew they were crazy in love.  When Chad looked at Monica his eyes light up and if you didn't notice his eyes you most certainly noticed his smile....and who could blame him, Monica looked radiant!    The intimate ceremony included only close friends and family.  It was held in the mother of groom's, beautiful botanical gardens.  So needless to say, between the personalized vows, the father singing, the mother's beautiful officiating of the ceremony (she is a pastor of a church) and the OBVIOUS love the two of them have for each other....it was hard to keep a dry eye. 

Here is a sneak peek of a few photographs I snapped that day.
