Stacey + Louis

There was not a single thing I didn't love about this wedding. Smaller and intimate weddings are always my favorite. The day started out with the girls getting ready at the church. Louis and the guys were on the other side and as usual with guys they were much more relaxed and chill while the girls fixed the dresses and placed their makeup on just so. Stacey looked beautiful and had the perfect dress. My favorite part of her dress was the back. It had roses that made the dress just right. After the ceremony we headed over to the Bell House. This is the first time I have shot a wedding there and it was delightful! I loved this venue and it was the perfect place for this wedding. Family and friends gathered around each other and talked and laughed the entire afternoon. Stacey and Louis were just right for each other and I caught them several time sneaking a smile at each other. I wish them both good luck and say thank you for such a great time!

Estee + Ron

Estee and Ron were the beginning to my Lexington weddings this summer and what a great start! Their ceremony took place at Northeast Christian Church in Lexington and if anyone has ever been there you know how BEAUTIFUL the church is! I was in amazement as I walked into the sanctuary! I loved the ceremony because it was very family oriented. After the ceremony, Ron and Estee greeted each guest and it just made it very personable. After the ceremony, we headed over to the Equestrian Woods Country Club for the reception. Once again, it was very personable and Ron and Estee made sure to talk to everyone there. Something I really loved about their wedding was how they incorporated their strong faith in God into there ceremony and reception. The evening was filled with dancing, great food and great friends. Here are some of my favorite shots from the day...

Cake Smashing!

I had the best time this week with Jadalyn and her cake smashing session! It will be her 1st birthday this week and we celebrated with cake! And lots of it! She was a little shy at first and very much a lady, but quickly dove right into the cake and it was hilarious! By the end of the session she had it everywhere... including on me and her mommy! What a great time! Happy birthday Miss Jadalyn!

Jessica + Marcus

I met Jessica for her consultation and immediately loved her! She was so excited to tell me all about her now husband Marcus and how he purposed to her. Her personality was bubbly and very friendly and I just couldn't wait to do her wedding! Jessica and Marcus got married in Fairdale, KY at South Park Country Club and it was absolutely beautiful! Their wedding reminded me of something you would see on theknot.com. Such beautiful and vibrant colors all throughout the entire event! Everyone at her wedding was just as friendly as Jessica and it was such an honor to be part of it.

Amy + Nick

On May 7th, I was able to attend Amy and Nick's wedding at Gingerwoods Estate in Prospect, KY. I loved photographing this couple... every detail about it was perfect from the decorations on the tables to the outside ambiance of the ceremony. I don't think there was a single person at the wedding without a huge smile on their face the entire time. It was so great to see everyone enjoying themselves and just having a great time. Below are a few pics from the big day!




This one is my favorite! This image depicts how much this couple adores each other. During their first dance, it was as if no one was there but them.

I thought this was a GREAT idea! This was Amy's late grandma. To honor her memory, she put a picture on her bouquet. Made it very personal!

Jade + Jake

On a beautiful Saturday afternoon two weeks ago I had the opportunity to go to White Mills, KY for Jade and Jake's engagement session. They were such a fun couple and just genuinely nice people! We walked around a camp taking lots of shots and the two just had such a good time with each other! I felt like I was with a couple of friends the entire shoot. Towards the end of the shoot, we decided to get adventurous and go down a VERY steep hill. Me being my large pregnant self, the two were very concerned I would make it down. But we must go on to get great pictures! Both Jake and Jade helped me down the hill, but of course me being my clumsy self, I still tripped and kind of slid down the hill a little until they stopped me. It was totally worth the hardship as those shots were my favorite out of the entire session. Jade and Jake are getting married in sunny Florida and I just know it will be absolutely beautiful. After meeting this couple and having the privilege of shooting their engagement session I can see how perfect they are together and will be blessed with a very loving marriage. Here are some of my favorite shots from their session...
