Ellen had these gorgeous silver charms attached to her bouquet.  I thought it was a very sweet and sentimental touch.

Ellen looked absolutely stunning.  I am sure Ty was blown away when they saw each other for the first time in the Transy Chapel.  Flowers were by the fabulous Beth of Ivory Rose.

Possibly my favorite groom pic EVER!!!  Ty definitely rocks the aviators.  So much so I think they are a part of his persona!  LOVE these!

Ellen and Ty were married in a very personal ceremony conducted by Ellen’s priest and Ty’s grandfather (who is a minister).  They left the church in a flurry of bubbles (which were the best bubbles we have seen all year!  Note to brides: get the bubbles in the skinny tubes like Ellen did… they rock!).

Cake was by the fabulous Brenda at the Sugar Forrest.  I mean really… has Brenda EVER made a bad cake… NO!  Brenda rocks, this cake is amazing… enough said.

The reception was at Castle Hill Winery in Versailles.  I was in awe… the light was that perfect few minutes before sunset and on multiple occasions I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes.  Yes… I am a sap.  It happens.  That is why I shoot weddings… because I love every minute of the long wedding days!

I truly thought the bridesmaids might knock each other out trying to catch the bouquet!!  Ellen’s expression says it ALL!

Ryan and Danelle were married on January 12, 2008 at Central Christian Church in downtown Lexington. Their fabulous reception followed at Talon Winery off Tates Creek Road. It was a total blast. I think that Ryan and Danelle definitely will hold the record for largest wedding party for a while to come … all told there were 24 member of the bridal party!!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY COW!! It was so fun getting try to new things. We had hoped for snow alas we were on the opposite end of the spectrum.. I believe it was close to 60 degrees… I guess if there was no snow then our second choice was a GORGEOUS blue sky and a nice sunny day!! I don’t know that I can choose one thing about their wedding day that was my favorite! They had a KILLER cake done by Sugar Forest , gorgeous flowers by Ivory Rose, awesome food by Sam Sears and the crew at South Van Catering, the coolest Dodge Charger limo EVER by Celebrity and Boss Limos and of course one of our favorite locations Talon Winery!

We have spent the past few months getting to know Ryan and Nelle and they truly are two amazingly fun people!! Ryan happens to be a Neurologist at UK so unfortunately we get to see him a lot more than we had hoped but that is fine by us… he brings us chocolate so its all good! Ryan and Danelle- we wish you two all the best in life. We hope that this is just the beginning of a long, amazing and happy life together!

Lisa and Nick were married at Central Christian Church in Lexington on December 29,2007. It was a beautiful cold crisp winter day. Lisa chose very chic bouquets made from Cabbage for her bridesmaids. Their reception followed at the Ramada Inn. There was great food and tons of dancing. Let me tell you… Lisa can get jiggy!!!!! The grooms cake definitely gets our vote for best groom’s cake ever!! It was a very fun and laid back day. We truly enjoyed photographing Lisa, Nick and the whole family!! We wish you two an amazing, long, and healthy life. May this be just the start of a beautiful life together. Thank you for allowing us to share in your special day!
