James and Randa’s Asbury Wedding

So I made it mostly through proofing James and Randa’s images before I completely lost it.  That is a side effect of being so close to your clients… although you give them a gift of photography, they are forever emblazoned in your heart.  I enjoy all of my clients.  I have fun with all of my clients.  I say goodbye to many of my clients knowing that it may be a long time before we see each other again as they move on with their lives, out of state, to bigger and better things.  But every now and then a client wanders into is divinely placed in your life.  You know that they are there for a reason and you feel lucky and blessed by their friendship.  James and Randa are one of those.  Those people who leave a footprint on your heart and you know you will never be the same.

I watched as their wedding ceremony was as much about worship as it was about them.  It was as much about friends and family as it was about them.  These two are the single most selfless people I have known in a very long time and in proofing their photos, in seeing the love and light inside them, they make me want to be a better person.

I am sure they never set out on their journey to plan a wedding thinking “I think we’ll go change some lives today” but … for such a time as this… we were given the privilege of spending their wedding day with them.  We were the lucky ones.

Congratulations James and Randa.  I know that God has a truly “beautiful ending” for each of you.

Randa & James Engagement

Randa and James were the winners of our Free Wedding Giveaway.  Each year we like to find a way to give back so we host a contest and give away a completely free wedding photography package with all the perks.  Randa and James have a pretty amazing story (they are so humble that I am sure they would debate that their “amazingness” but I can say it just the same!). We had SO much fun shooting their engagement pics, from Keeneland to Train Tracks to Commonwealth Stadium and back again.  I always “plan” to shoot an engagement session in under an hour but somehow that seems to get blown out of the water!  We get started and just cannot stop… LOL.

They will be getting married in Wilmore at the Estes Chapel on Asbury’s campus in August.  We are SO very excited to spend their big day with them!!

I give you Randa and James Engagement:

Melissa and Bill

Melissa and Bill braved the elements with me for their engagement session at Keeneland.  They are getting married in June and we are looking forward to their big day!

Brittney & Eric’s Engagement

Ok so I am going to be a post a holic for the next few days! I am trying to post most of my sessions from the fall that I have not had time to get around to blogging! First are Brittney and Eric. We headed out to Waveland and a few surrounding areas to create their engagement images. They turned out truly fabulous!! But then again… how could they not with such great subjects! Brittney and Eric are an absolute blast and I cannot wait to photograph their wedding next fall at Fasig Tipton!
