Brittany & Caleb’s Ashland, Kentucky Wedding Photos

Brittany and Caleb were married in November, in their hometown of Ashland, Kentucky.  We traveled to Ashland to photograph their ceremony at the Historic “Chocolate Church” (First United Methodist Church).  Their reception followed at the Bellefonte Country Club.  Although it was a bitterly cold day (for November anyhow) and the skies spit snow at us all day long, the spirits were warm and our bridesmaids braved the cold to create some pretty awesome images for Brit and Caleb!   (Kudos to bridesmaids who are willing to take on for the home team! – no pun intended)

At any rate, the wedding ceremony was beautifully candle lit and yes, I cried, a couple of times as a matter of fact.  To see Caleb’s face light up when he finally got to see Brit turn at the end of the aisle… priceless.  Of course it is always an emotional moment to watch a father hand his daughter over, turn and walk away but that is another post for another day   Stay tuned!

Here is a sneak peek!  They had amazing details and their reception venue, and decor was stunning!  Of course I LOVED that they used enlargements from their engagement as decor!    Always makes me smile to see a print or engagement guest book because I automatically know how proud my couples are of their life, their love and their images!!

I loved that Brittany had tons of BLING!  Her necklace was fabulous.  Be sure to look for pics of it in the movie.  The back of the necklace had these long strands of crystals so every pic we took from that back of her dress had some bling in it!  I had never seen a necklace like that before I brides, I HIGHLY recommend it!  It photographed REALLY well and added a pop to each photo!

Their historic church was beautiful (quite dark- which any photogs know that dark church + no flash= tough lighting situation!) but there were lots of twinkling candles!!!

And of course the reception at the Bellefonte Country Club in Ashland was awesome!  The tables were draped in beautiful flower centerpieces, and even the CAKE had bling!!!  LOVED IT!

And yes, I could not resist.  Brit and Caleb had a stunning sparkler exit from the church and I snagged some spare sparklers to play with later at the reception.  I am just a big kid when it comes to wedding!  I think that your wedding should fulfill all your childhood dreams and should be one of the most emotional, spiritual, FUN days of your life!

Brit & Caleb’s Wedding Movie is still to come!  Check back later in the week for it!

Wedding “ish” session at Keeneland

We were unable to photograph this beautiful couple due to a conflict in our schedules but we were able to spend a little time with them at Keeneland for an impromptu session. Keeneland happened to be one of the ONLY locations in Lexington that actually had fall color this year and God smiled on us and gave us an absolutely stunning evening with blue sky and unbelievably warn light.

Yes… I broke out the fisheye… gotta love the modern look it bring to the photos as well as the wide angle!  Our favorite fisheye happens to be a 10mm so I always have to be careful to not catch my feet in the pic!  LOL

Jason and Mandie

Jason and Mandie were married at Estes Chapel on the campus of Asbury College in Wilmore. Kentucky.  The cool crisp day was decorated with a bright blue sky and passing clouds.  Even though the breeze was chilly the day was beautiful and all of the bridesmaids were in good spirits for our outdoor photos   The day was full of tears and smiles … just as every good wedding day is and was followed by great food and fun shared by family and friend at their reception which followed at the Lexington Country Club.

Mandie and Janson- Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your beautiful wedding day.  We wish you many years of health and happiness together!

Without further ado… Mandie & Jason Romesberg

Mandie & Jason’s Wedding and Engagement pics are coming soon!

Until then… here’s a sneak peek!  Do you ever take a photo that literally pops out of the camera and takes your breath away?  I love my photos and my couples but its not often that I gasp watching the photos download onto my screen.  Tonight… even though I captured this couple, this IMAGE captured me…..

Trish & Shawn’s Berry Hill Wedding

Trish and Shawn were married on a cool cloudy fall day at the Berry Hill Mansion in Frankfort, KY.  The wedding was coordinated by Brandan Gravitt of The Bride’s Assistant here in Lexington, KY.  There were so many cool special little touches its hard to even go into them all!  My favorites were the place cards hung on clothespins at the entrance of the reception tent, and the dramatically lit trees with tiny birds gracing their branches… you will have to watch the slideshow to see!!!  The food was amazing as always, by DaRae & Friends Catering.

We actually met Trish almost two years ago.  She was a bridesmaid in another of our weddings and we were SO happy to get the call that she too, had gotten engaged!  I know that the whole wedding planning was a bit stressful for her as she was doubling up a wedding in the same time period as the first semester of her Master’s program!!!!!!!!!!  (Congrats on that btw Trish!)

Trish and Shawn, we had a blast.  The whole day was elegant and beautiful!  Thank you for allowing us to share the day with you.  We hope that when you look back on these images, in years to come, that you will still feel how special your wedding day was!  Best wishes for an amazing life together!

Brittney and Eric’s Fasig-Tipton Wedding

Brittney and Eric were married at Fasig-Tipton in Lexington. Although the skies threatened us with rain, the day was beautiful and the sun set over the rolling hills with a warm glow in the sky. The day was filled with tons of fun. After the ceremony, the wedding party took a drive downtown for a quick toast at the Big Blue Martini and a few pics in Triangle Park. The reception kicked off with Brittney and Eric receiving Broncos vs Chargers tickets! That was a huge hit! Their decor was stunning and their cake was of course fabulous as ever (by the one and only Brenda of the Sugar Forrest).

There were so many little touches that made their day special. Instead of signing a guest book, the guests signed a pair of Ski’s that will be displayed in their home. In lieu of favors, the couple made a donation to the Wounded Warriors and Livestrong Foundations and had the always cool Livestrong bracelets and support our troops magnets as their favors!

We always have a blast with our couples and I know I always say that each of them are my favorites because they truly are. Brittney and Eric, thank you for allowing us to capture your wedding day memories! We wish you all the best that life has to offer!
