Lexington Engagement Photos: Laura + Aaron

There were so many good ones from this session, it was a struggle to limit myself in posting here! I don't say that to credit myself, but we had great light, great weather, a great location, and great subjects! Aside from the occasional dog walker, we had the park to ourselves and all the elements for a successful shoot! Thanks, Laura and Aaron! I look forward to your December wedding!

Wilmore Kentucky Wedding: Rachel + Michael

It was a warm and sunny Sunday at the end of May when Rachel and Michael wed after a long courtship. Family and friends drove from the eastern and western parts of Kentucky, converging on my lovely "home" town of Wilmore for their nuptials.

Rachel was tickled by her handbag from Etsy.com that included her wedding date on the personalized tag. I loved it too!

I love how goofy these two are together (they had moments like this during their engagement session too). Hope they don't mind that I am posting these! (I may have told them I was just testing my camera settings...)

Special, special thanks to Jennifer (far left) who referred me to Rachel! It's always special to have a friend in the bridal party!

Beautiful florals provided by Curtis A. Grace, hair and make-up by Ziyan Salon and Spa (can I say I was pleasantly surprised to learn the girls were done with hair and make 45 minutes EARLY thanks to the efficient and proficient hands at Ziyan? That hardly ever happens!).

Rachel and Michael's parents brought some momentos from their weddings to the reception, including a toss bouquet and cake topper! Rachel also made the fun backdrop for a personalized photo booth for her guests! In addition to traditional wedding cake, dessert included Michael's favorite (and mine!) rhubarb pie!

Other vendors who contributed to a great day:
Sally Foster of Urbaniste (ceremony coordination)

Jeff Gibson/Sound Travels (DJ -- see you in December!)

Florals: Curtis Grace

Venues: (Ceremony) Asbury Theological Seminary

(Reception) Embassy Suites, Lexington

Congratulations, Rachel and Michael! Thank you for the honor of photographing your wedding! I had a wonderful time celebrating your special day with you!

The "B" Sisters!

I still have oodles of sessions to blog from the "Wall of Fame" promotion for A Caring Touch Pediatrics (our favorite health care professionals in Lexington!). Here's one I was anxious to share this weekend but couldn't get my image uploader to cooperate... (if you are a participating family, don't worry, yours is coming!)

The image above just arrived as a canvas yesterday and oh it will be so hard to part with!

Lexington Children's Photography: MS&S

After photographing "S" for her 12-month photos, I was excited to meet her big brother, "MS". Watch out girls! This little guy has the looks and the charm! We're adopting a little guy this summer and I can't wait til he's a little older and we can break out the hair gel like this. And maybe find our own seersucker suit and paisley tie...
