Forever and Ever Amen. Talon Winery Sneak Peek

This had to be one of the most gorgeous weddings I have ever attended. Talon Winery in Lexington, KY is stunning- rolling hills, vineyards, lakes, barns. It was like a dream. Of course, Jessica and Shane made the day even more fantastic. They are two of the nicest, most real people I have ever met. And so was their day.

I am particularly close to these two, this was the third time we've met with my camera. Shane knows what to expect every time he sees me. He's always waiting til the moment I ask him to get on the ground. Although he wouldn't admit it, he loves it.

I know I say I work with the most amazing people. I can't help that I get close with my clients, so close that we end up being good friends. Hey, I'm not complaining. The day was perfect, and although we were a little scared it was going to rain on our fun... it cleared up just in time.

I have to admit, I am sad that Jessica and Shane's Wedding Day is over. I asked them if I could just stay and live at Talon forever... but I wasn't allowed.

Enjoy the peek- many more coming soon.





















Jessica and Shane decided to see each other before the wedding so I set up a little spot beside the water. The intimate moments between a bride and groom before the wedding are something really special. I always end up with tears.

I told Shane not to peek, he wouldn't listen. Can you blame him?










Shane and his boys. Two of the sweetest, well mannered little boys I've ever met. I asked them if they were going to "break it down" on the dance floor later and they smiled and said no. They so did.















The little moments between the ones we love the most. Those are my favorite.











































The bride's niece, Ava. She melted me.











On the bride and groom's table at the end of the night.



The bride's sister made a thank you sign for the bride and groom to hold up. The sign was gorgeous. They are going to put the image on the thank you cards they send to everyone. I thought this was the cutest idea ever. Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Kitts, for asking me to share in your day.

Carrie and Craig Wedding Sneak Peek

This summer has been a blur. I remember May coming and being so excited for the upcoming months, and now it's almost the end of August. Seems crazy to me. I've met some really amazing people this summer, and have been blessed to be so busy. Here are a few favorites from Carrie and Craig's Wedding. It was beautiful and as usual, I have so many favorites. Can't wait to share more. Lots, and lots more.
Enjoy! :)

Carrie and Craig- Sneak Peek Preview

The father and daughter dance. I was looking through pictures from Carrie and Craig's Wedding from this past weekend and ran across this picture. I felt like it needed to be posted by itself. They danced to Cinderella by Steven Curtis Chapman. That song is beautiful and moving, it always brings tears to my eyes. I can't help but picture a little girl in a fancy dress twirling around. I'm sure her father did too. "So I'll dance with Cinderella, while she is here in my arms. Cause I know something the Prince never knew. I will dance with Cinderella, I don't want to miss even one song. All too soon the clock will strike midnight... and she'll be gone."



FULL SNEAK PEEK coming in the next few days!! :) Can't wait!

I'm blessed!

I know I've shared with you before that I have the best clients in the world. (Really I do.) This is a recent email from the bride of a wedding I photographed this summer.

Sarah,
We were so excited to see the wedding album - the pictures look great as always! Thanks for all of your hard work. I am so happy to have such beautiful photographs that I will be able to one day share with my children and grandchildren! I am so grateful you were there to capture all of the special moments and share the day with us!

Thanks!
Valerie

I'm sure all of you have probably seen Valerie and Justin. They are featured on the top of my blog and also printed on my business cards. People like this are one of the reasons I love my job so very much. Taking pictures and capturing life is absolutely amazing... but creating a special bond is even better. Thanks to all of my clients out there. I wouldn't be here without you. I am truly blessed! :)

Maria and Nathan

While editing Maria and Nathan's Wedding tonight I ran across a new favorite. It was way too cute not to share.



I promise I haven't fallen off the face of the earth, I've been a busy editing bee. More weddings and sessions coming soon. :)
