Bowling Green Weddings | Kentucky Wedding Photographer

Posted in Awards, Personal, Wedding, Wedding Planning

So, it’s for real been a super exciting few weeks around here :) We have been so blessed! It seriously still blows my mind every day when I wake up and I am EXCITED about my job. Excited to get up and work, and edit, or talk to brides, or research, or even do bookkeeping (ok well let’s not push it on that one but… ;-) ). I am so happy that I get to shoot with my husband. I was thinking today about how awesome it is to get to see one of the happiest days in a couple’s life not only through my lens, but also through his. (The images he takes are almost always people’s favorites!) And it’s so wonderful and such a blessing to be reminded of our own vows every time we shoot a wedding together. I could really go on forever right now about how wonderful he is (I am super sappy today haha…must be Valentine’s day closing in…), but I’ll stop there.

So on to some exciting news! First, our official WeddingWire badge is in, which means we are one of the top 5% of vendors on the WeddingWire network. We were the only photographer in the Bowling Green/Paducah area to receive this award, and one of only 11 photographers in the whole state!

Second, today we had a wedding featured on the OneWed Bridal Blog! OneWed is a fantastic source for ideas for your wedding day, and we were so excited when they wanted to feature Allie and Ian’s wedding! We also had a super sweet write up on us on the Sloan Images University blog last week, which totally moved me to happy tears :)

We also have some WONDERFUL brides for 2010…I cannot wait to work with them! And with Valentine’s Day coming up…if you find yourself with something new and shiny on your left hand, we would love to talk to you ;-)

Thanks again (I feel like I say this every day but I really mean it!) to all of you for being so wonderful! Have a great Valentine’s weekend!

Vendor Spotlight

Posted in Vendor Spotlight, Wedding, Wedding Planning

*Sorry for the delay in the Vendor Spotlight week wrap up! Enjoy!*

For the last day of Vendor Spotlight week I just couldn’t narrow it down to one person or place! We really are so blessed with all the people we have met, especially in the last year. So, here’s a short list of other vendors you should check out! Some of these are people/places we have actually worked with, and some are people or run by people we have met and loved!

Places:

First we have Talon Winery and Vineyard in Lexington, Ky, where we shot Allie and Ian’s wedding!

Next up is the beautiful Indian Hills Country Club in Bowling Green, Ky, where Lindsay+Gerrit’s reception was held. The girls also got ready there, and it was just so fantastic. Super classy, and the staff was super attentive and helpful all day. (If you haven’t guessed…customer service is one of my favorite qualities in a business…and Indian Hills definitely gets an A+!)

And next is CJ’s Off the Square in Franklin, TN! Their event specialists, CJ and Amy, are absolutely wonderful. I met them at a workshop in Franklin back in the fall, and have heard tons about their venue since then! They are also have a winter open house on Saturday, February 27, which you can learn more about here. So fun!

Bridal Boutiques and Salons:

The Couture Closet in La Grange, Ky (near Louisville!) is a super cute boutique, and a fabulous experience! This is actually where I got my dress (Pictured, dress by Melissa Sweet, photo by Krystal from Mint and Sage). Couture Closet is a “blend of an upscale New York style boutique with the charm of Southern hospitality.” Owners Lauren and Tera are there to help you find your dream dress, and treat you like a princess during your dress shopping experience :) They also have several trunk shows coming up, so check out their website for more info!

b.Hughes Bridal and formal in Nashville, TN is THE premiere bridal salon of the area! They are also the exclusive source for such jaw dropping designers as Badgley Mischka, Vera Wang, Romona Keveza Couture, Romona Keveza Legends Collection, and Oscar de la Renta. How awesome is that?! They also carry an incredible selection of bridesmaids dresses. While I haven’t set foot in b.Hughes Bridal myself (yet!), I have met one of the owners, the fabulous Karen! And if her bridal consultants are anything like she is, you are in for a real treat and the time of your life :)

So…those are just a few of our other favorite people :) You can also visit our People We Love page (found at the bottom of the blog) to see more of our favorite vendors. We try to keep this updated whenever we meet new vendors that we want to share with you all. Also, if you all have worked with some FABULOUS vendors, feel free to pass on their info! We always love to meet new people :)

Vendor Spotlight: Bridal Opulence

Posted in Vendor Spotlight, Wedding, Wedding Planning

Today’s vendor spotlight is on the fabulous Nashville based wedding coordinator Latrice from Bridal Opulence! To say Latrice is stylish would be an understatement…everything about her and Bridal Opulence is mind blowingly awesome :)

I first had the opportunity to work with Latrice on Destiny+Patrick’s wedding, which was super cool for both of us (we are both WKU alumni!). Hiring a planner can really help bring together all your ideas for your wedding and achieve them in ways you couldn’t even imagine! Planning a wedding for most of us is uncharted territory, and the experience of an awesome planner really can be such a blessing. (I would have LOVED to have someone like Latrice to help me plan my wedding!) And, Latrice doesn’t just rock out the one on one planning, but also has a wonderful blog with planning tips, unique vendors, etc. You MUST check it out! (I especially love her eye candy posts!)

Thank  you all so much for sticking it out here with us on vendor week! We’ll have one or maybe two more vendor spotlights, then back to our regularly scheduled programming with some full wedding posts. I hope everyone has a great evening!

Vendor Spotlight: Etsy Vendors

Posted in Vendor Spotlight, Wedding, Wedding Planning

Today’s vendor spotlight is actually several vendors, from the fabulous vintage and homemade site Etsy.com! I couldn’t narrow it down, so I thought I would feature two of my favorite wedding related vendors :)

First up is Lauren from Handmade Lovelies! She has a fanciful, funky style that is just fantastic. Everything is handmade by her, and she can do custom pieces as well, for that one of a kind look for your wedding day! Lauren also uses recycled materials whenever possible.

I am so in love with her headbands, hairclips, and veils! (I have an awesome peacock feather hairclip from her that I could pretty much wear every day!) This birdcage veil with pink flower is to die for!

Next, we have Garter Lady!

Garter Lady has  a HUUUUGE selection of awesome garters, from traditonal and elegant, to fun and sassy! Many of them also come with a garter for tossing, which is very cool. Her customer service is fabulous as well! Love this one:

Those are just two fabulous vendors to be found on Etsy! If you’ve never shopped around on that site, you definitely should check it out! (Ummm…just don’t blame me if you have a new website addiction ;-) ) You really can find just about anything wedding related you can think of. So check it out, and feel free to leave a comment if you come across any other fabulous wedding vendors!
