Bowling Green, Ky | Engaged | Misty & Matt

So….about today. Today was cold. Today was windy. Today was snowy. But….I LOVE today! Because today, I got to do the BEST part of my job. Capturing people in love. Capturing the kisses, the laughs, the shared glances, and hearing their stories. And, I even got to shoot with my husband! It really just doesn’t get any better. This was the first official session Chris and I have shot since we attended Imaging USA in January. We have been dying to get out and really try out some things during a real live session, and today was perfect! And I just have to say…we HAVE to shoot more engagement sessions…they are seriously one of my favorite things ever :)

Misty and Matt are so incredibly sweet together. I’ve known Misty since we were freshmen in college, but hadn’t really had the chance to get to know Matt until recently. All I can say is that these two definitely have that special kind of love…that we-can-handle-anything kind of love. It was so beautiful to see the real “them” come out in front of the camera today….especially Misty, who has told me before she has a hard time not making her “model” faces for the camera. I feel so blessed that they have allowed us to see inside their relationship, and celebrate along with them. We can’t wait for their wedding in July!

Normally I would just post one or two for a sneak peek, but I made an executive decision (because I can! Ha!) that since today was a snow day and I’m mostly caught up on other work to edit more and post more than normal :) Enjoy!

Uh huh. You know it’s a good day when something like this happens in the first 5 minutes of the shoot!

HAD to post this one because of the location :) This is the inside of the very newly renovated Van Meter theatre on WKU’s campus. It’s not officially open yet and I didn’t think we would be able to get in, but someone on the construction crew let us in. It is amazingly gorgeous in there!!

Gorgeous.

Something about this just really draws me in…we had lots of awesome moments from this spot, but I am just loving this one :)

So sweet.

Misty and Matt-thank you, thank you, thank you for braving the cold with us today, and for just being awesome in general :) Love you all!

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!
