Another album out the door!
This is Erin and Tony's Storybook Album. They got married last year but then life got in the way of them ordering it. Well, here it is! I love how each album is so different-- they really capture the uniqueness of the day!

It's that time of year!Time to book your engagement session-- the leaves are starting to turn and I have limited availability on weekends. Call or email me to schedule your session. I will be happy to try to help-- even if I'm not shooting your wedding!

Heck, even if you are already married how fun would that be to have some playful and romantic shots of the two of you? I now have a sample Fall Engagement session on my website so be sure to check it out!

What happened last Saturday....Everyone's been asking me what happened with Megan & Ryan-- the ones who's wedding venues canceled on them due to no electricity from the big windstorm. The reception canceled on Wednesday and the church canceled Thursday! So there went a year and a half of careful planning!!!

Well, everyone pulled through for them. Megan's parents offered to have the wedding in their backyard. The neighbors got together and removed fallen trees from the windstorm and mowed their lawn. The bridesmaids pitched in to call all 325 guests. Plus the pastor, the limo company, florist, cake baker, the band and everyone else had to be notified!

On the day of the ceremony, the power was to be cut off at the house so the utility workers could make some repairs down the street. The neighbors got together and pleaded with them to please turn the power back on and wait till after the wedding-- which they did!

Friends/neighbors also volunteered to park cars for the guests. And it looked to me like all 325 showed! How great is that? And I loved during the ceremony when the pastor mentioned the mailman's creed (neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet, etc.). That is so true-- nothing was going to stop these two from getting married!

So that's them at the top of this post. Such a beautiful setting and so amazing that this was pulled together in just two days!

What a wonderful story Megan and Ryan will be able to tell on each anniversary! Check back later this week for more pics!

Happy One Year Anniversary to Kelly & Stephen!
I love how their album starts out, especially the first page, and I have many fond memories of their happy day. Be sure to check out all the details in their album! And congratulations Kelly & Stephen!!!

Getting married and Windstorm 2008Imagine that while Louisville is recovering from over 400 broken utility poles and over 6000 downed power lines that you are getting married the Saturday after the storm. And imagine a couple days before your wedding both the church and the reception sites CANCEL due to lack of electricity. Well, I just can't imagine but that is exactly what happened to Megan and Ryan who are getting married today.

I do know that everything is going to turn out wonderfully for them. Check back next week for the details and pictures!

And what a crazy week-- I hope if you don't have your electricity back yet that it comes on soon!

Put some love on your walls!
I always think it's wonderful when couples choose to put a few romantic photos of themselves on display in their home. And some kissy-shots in the bedroom can help put out some good vibes, too! This is the latest picture I've custom-framed and is for Hannah & Michael. They are getting married next week!!!

Booked another wedding!
I'm booking weddings left and right-- and I love it. Looks like 2009 is going to be a great year. Kari and Matt are my newest clients and are planning a June wedding. I met with Kari and her mom and both are as sweet as can be.

Check my dates to see if your date is still available!

Dana & Blake's Storybook Album is here!This one has the works: their engagement photos, chapters, colored borders to match their wedding colors, extra pages, and more! I know that Dana & Blake will be thrilled to get their album so soon! I like how well the sage green cover looks- the color looks especially great with the pink stripe on their chapter pages.

Booked another wedding!
A big welcome to my newest clients, Rachel & Anthony. I will be traveling for their wedding in Illinois next summer. That's right, I will travel for your wedding and have very reasonable rates. But first, check my availability as I book up fast!

Happy One Year Anniversary to Bethany & Doug!
I remember how beautiful the weather was for their wedding day. We had (finally!) gotten through the horrid heat wave of 2007 and now it was a perfect 71 degrees. Bethany and Doug and all their guests had so much fun doing UL & UK chants at the reception- what a fun day they had!

Bethany has a great personality-- check out how she laughs-- actually LAUGHS-- when her cake collapses!

The next Storybook Album......will be Jessica & Chad's. It rained on their wedding day-- and they laughed!!! What a fun day it was. I look forward to creating a one-of-kind Storybook Album for them.

Kim & Blake's Album is here!They chose the classic black with silver for their album. Each page opens flat and the pages won't bend or get dog-eared. These are beautiful albums that will get passed down the generations! Kim & Blake's album captures the romance of their day- be sure to check it out!

Why I am I so fast with these albums? Because I set up my whole business around what I would want if I were a bride. I don't photograph babies, pets, families so I can focus exclusively on weddings.

Custom FramingI do custom framing and can help you choose the right mat and frame to really show off your photos! These are both 16x20s that I framed recently. The top one is Kim & John's and has the deluxe non-glare glass. The other one is Megan & Ryan's and I left the glass off so the guests can sign around the mat. I love framing (but only if it is of my photography!) and I will be sure to post the next ones I do.

New Storybook Album!
I'm just having so much fun making these albums~~~ I love how each one is as unique as each wedding day. I put words on Natalie & David's album, on the first and last pages. Be sure to check it out! And stay tuned-- more albums are coming up!!!

Happy Anniversary to Amanda & ShawnOk, so how did a year go by so fast? Amanda & Shawn had a wonderful wedding day last year. And I will always remember how EVERYBODY got up and danced at their reception. It was so fun and festive. Check out the details in their Storybook Album!

Court & Curt are married!
The bride wore sneakers!Getting the shirt cut off. That's sister Lindsay doing the deed (I shot Lindsay & Mike's wedding in 2006).
The beautiful flowers were by Dixie FloristGorgeous setting at My Old Kentucky Home.
The First Dance was a YouTube moment when they surprised everyone by doing a wild and fun routine!
And yes, he even jumped over her!
Things got really crazy after that and there were moments when first the groom, and then the bride were turned upside down!
I had such a great time shooting Court and Curt's wedding day. Court showed her fun side by wearing sneakers down the aisle-- and Curt put his sneakers on at the reception! Everyone including the guests picked up on the fun vibe-- I think I laughed all through the day. Oh-my-gosh, I sure do love my job! More pics later!

Holly & Brad are Mr & Mrs!
The awesome invitations were handmade.
Gorgeous flowers by Gatherings
Brad is SUCH a romantic-- his card to Holly says 'To my wife"
And he scored big points by giving her a Christmas ornament with 2008 on it. I needed a hankie when I saw that!!! Actually, I think everyone in the room got misty eyed~~~
Walking down the aisle at St. Thomas More-- where BOTH sets of parents were married!The custom guest book, with photos from their engagement session. (Let me know if you want to book an engagement session with me so you can get your own guest book!)Brad REALLY likes bread, so he got a 'groom's loaf'-- how funny! The dough and catering was by Chardeau's. Cake was by A Personal Touch Cakes by Carolyn, with the reception at 300 SpringAfter the first dance it was a real throw-down party!
I sure had a blast photographing Holly & Brad's day. What a way to kick off the weekend. The day was so sweet and romantic-- did I mention yet that BOTH sets of parents were married in their church? How cool is that?? And then they had quite the party-- it even went into overtime! I can't wait to go through their pictures- I'll post more later.

Booked another wedding!
A warm welcome to Vicki and Eric, who heard about me from Monica & Jason (thanks guys!) and are planning a 2009 wedding. Their day sounds like it will be quite fun--- I'm going to start out at the hotel photographing the guys and gals getting ready. Looking forward to it! And check my availability to see if your day is still open-- I book up fast!

Happy one year anniversary to Anna & Jimmy
They had an amazing day, be sure to check out their awesome album! They ended up choosing the sage green leather cover, which went so well with all their photos.

Kentucky and Indiana wedding photography
I hope everyone is having a very restive and/or festive Labor Day weekend. Holly & Brad and Courtney & Curt are why I love what I do! I had SO much fun capturing their weddings on Friday and Saturday. I will be sure to show more later in the week! And that's Court & Curt at the top and Holly & Brad below them.
