Bowling Green Weddings | Kentucky Wedding Photographer

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!

Michelle and Pedro are married! | The Grand, New Albany, IN

12-31-09. New Years eve. Everyone is out partying, watching the ball drop at midnight, and sharing a kiss with their love. But not me…I had food poisoning! But…January 1, 2010 dawned bright and gorgeous (though it was cold!), and I was feeling better and ready to go celebrate Michelle and Pedro’s marriage in New Albany, Indiana!

Their wedding was at The Grand theatre in New Albany, IN (which doesn’t appear to have a website, but you can Google it!), which is a really awesome, gorgeous venue! They had a very small wedding party (one bridesmaid and one groomsman), which made for such a beautiful and intimate ceremony. Michelle’s bridesmaid was her sister, Jennifer, and it was wonderful hanging out with them and their sweet mom all morning! They are such a close family, and it was so beautiful to see and capture :)

Michelle also did a fantastic job of scouting out some locations for us to take pictures after the reception! It was so much fun! So, here are some favorites :)

The Grand has such fabulous, classy details throughout the whole venue! Love it!

Always love the moments right before walking down the aisle

They had an Elvis singer at the reception. So fun!

Just loved this random spot in downtown Louisville we stopped at!

Alrighty! That’s it for today :) Thanks for sharing your day with us, Michelle, Pedro, and family! You all were wonderful!

Georgetown, Ky Weddings | Katie and Aaron

Everyone ready for a new wedding share? Well you’re in luck! I’m sitting here watching the snow swirl around in amounts I haven’t seen in years, and decided everyone could use some warm fuzzies from some wedding pictures :)

Katie and Aaron were such a wonderful, loving, Christ centered couple to work with. I have known Katie since high school, and she has always just had this beautiful “joie de vivre” about her. But once we started talking about her wedding, and her love for Aaron, (and always, more importantly, her love for her God), she became a million times brighter, and has consistently blown me away with her Joy. They are SO in love with each other…even looking at their Facebook pages brings huge amounts of encouragement to my life!

This was such an emotional wedding for us to capture! Aaron is in the Army, and much of their time the last few years has been spent apart, including a stint in the middle east. Seeing everyone come together to celebrate their love was so overwhelmingly beautiful!

We also had an absolute blast with everyone :) The girls were dancing around the salon (the beautiful Colonial House of Beauty in Georgetown) all morning, while the guys consumed (what appeared to be from Chris’s pictures) mass amounts of food as they were getting ready haha. After the ceremony, we drove out to the Kentucky Horse Park area for some super fun pictures. And the reception, with dj Jeff Gibson of Sound Travels was so fun! As Katie and Aaron left, it even snowed (the first snow I had seen for the year at that point!) So really all in all just a fabulous day :)

Why yes, we do have the most gorgeous clients ever :)

Katie and Aaron decided to see each other before the ceremony, and their first look was super intense and emotional and beautiful

Katie surprised Aaron by having them sing a duet of Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillet’s song “Lucky.” While Aaron was overseas, this was “their” song. It was so sweet!

Favorite! (By Chris)

That’s all for today! Everyone stay safe in the snow, and have a wonderful and fun weekend! Congratulations, Katie and Aaron, we are so glad we got to spend your wedding day with you :)

Lindsay+Gerrit | Bowling Green Wedding Photography

Hello my lovely blog readers!

Today, I am honored to share some of Lindsay and Gerrit’s wedding images with you! Lindsay and Gerrit were married in Bowling Green, Ky on December 20. These two are so wonderful :) Their wedding was originally planned for April of 2010, but was rescheduled for December when Gerrit found out he would be stationed at an Air Force base in England! So, Lindsay graduated from WKU on Saturday, got married on Sunday, and they moved to England a week later. How crazy!

With all that going on, you’d think things would be a little crazy and stressed on the wedding day, but it was absolutely wonderful! Their ceremony was at a darling little chapel in Fairview Cemetery, and the reception was at the gorgeous Indian Hills Country Club. Lindsay was such a glowing bride, and I had so much fun hanging out with her and her bridesmaids all morning! (Rocking out to Spice Girls and the soundtrack to Wicked!) Chris got to hang out with the super chill guys watching movies and stopping at Zaxby’s (in their tuxes!).

Seeing Lindsay and Gerrit’s faces during the ceremony was enough to bring tears to anyone’s eyes. So in love, and so happy to be there with each other. They could have been the only ones in the room :) I love our job so much, it’s so awesome to be reminded of my own wedding vows at every wedding Chris and I shoot together. Such a blessing! The wedding party also put up with my crazy idea to take pictures outside in the 20 degree weather…you all rock! And the reception…seriously one of the top parties we’ve ever gotten to capture. So so fun!

But…enough of that, on to the images!

LOVED Lindsay’s bouquet, by Alice Rockhold!

I always love these sweet sweet moments immediately after the ceremony

Haha! Love it!

After the reception, we went down to the Square in Bowling Green for some shots with the Christmas lights. LOVE this one!

I think that will do it for today! (But, you can become our friend on Facebook to see more!) Congratulations, Lindsay and Gerrit, and thank you so much for having us be at your wedding. You all have been so unbelievably wonderful, and we are so excited to hear about your adventures in England!

2010 has just been such an amazing blessing so far! We know it’s going to continue to be awesome :) Thank you everyone so much for your support! Have a great afternoon!
