Aboretum Engagement: Randa and James

As I went back pulling images for our brand NEW WEBSITE (coming soon!) I realized something.  I managed to fall back in love with SO many of my older images.  Every photographer struggles with feeling like their NEXT image is always the best but for me, I find comfort, in the “oldie but goodies” … if you KWIM.  In looking back over my work through the years I found many images that still tugged at my heart strings and made me say “oooh” and “awww..”.  It made me feel good.  Warmed my heart a little to know that my clients must be feeling the same when THEY look at these images from years gone by.  Some of these clients have moved away, started families and we don’t get to talk to them as much as we would like but they are always with us… in our hearts.  Somehow, we get to keep a little piece of them with us and that is a neat feeling.

Randa and James have touched our hearts many times over.  Their sweet story and passion for God, life and each other is just contagious.  I remember photographing their engagement pictures and knowing what a fun time would be had at their wedding.  I was RIGHT!!!   We are lucky that we still get to keep in touch with these two and continue to be blessed by them and their families.

These photos actually brought tears to my eyes… then and now!

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:

Keith & Ashley

Not only is it the season for weddings… but engagements too! I have about 5 engagements to post over the next week or two! This is the first. Meet Ashley and Keith. They are getting married next May. I have known Ashley for several years and she is a total sweetheart! I am so glad that she found her prince charming! You can definitely tell by the way Keith looks at her that they were meant to be!
