Leslie and Asher wed in Louisville, Kentucky at the beautiful Speed Art Museum. Creating art surrounded by art! This was one of my all time favorite weddings. I would even go as far to say that this museum is one of the best wedding venue spaces anyone could hope for.
I was able to work with an amazing crew that day as well, so to make sure to share the vendor love…

Kasey and Desiree had the most beautiful intimate gathering with family and friends at the historic bed and breakfast, Richwood on the River. Truly a wedding weekend to remember. There was so much calm, kindness and love between the two, and especially with the people they chose to surround themselves with on such a special day.
According to the home page for the bed and breakfast, it is a destination wedding venue right in your backyard, can accommodate up to 40 overnight guests and just 2 miles from the small but charming town of Madison, Indiana. After staying overnight myself, I have to say I’m a huge fan!
The b & b is about an hour drive from Louisville, KY and a little over an hour from Cincinnati, OH. This has become one of my all time favorite venues, I would love to photograph more weddings at this location.
Venue location: Richwood on the River in Milton, KY

The new year kicked off with an engagement session at one of my all time favorite spots, The Louisville Palace Theater in Louisville, KY. We ventured around the building for a couple hours taking photos. This was my first time capturing an engagement session at the location, but have photographed many other events and concerts in the past (as well as having a few dates here with my husband).
In just a few short months, the couple will be having an intimate wedding at the Louisville bed and breakfast, 1840 Tucker House.

Louisville natives, Nicole and Michael eloped out west in Joshua Tree National Park, California then celebrated with friends and family at Mellwood Art Center. The Pigment Gallery, where the reception was held, is the perfect space for smaller events and gets a ton of natural light from the large windows.

Farmington Historic Plantation was the perfect location for Rachel and Jonathan’s wedding celebrations. Tucked away off of Bardstown Rd, right off the 264 exit is this hidden gem. If you are newly engaged and on the lookout for a Louisville venue, are a fan of a little southern charm, prefer an outdoor ceremony and plan on having less than 150 guests, then this spot is probably perfect for you!

Is it a little intimidating to photograph two photographer’s? Maybe! Taylor and Connor are a suuuuper relaxed, chill couple that enjoy traveling and appreciate photos… so I think I got pretty lucky! It was a beautiful wedding day!

I’ve actually known Taylor for a while since we are both from Lexington, KY… but flew the coupe over 8 years ago. I had just graduated college back in 2008, moved back home and didn’t know what I wanted to do with photography… so I waited tables. If you know anything about Lexington, then you might know a little something about Ramsey’s Diner. I met Taylor’s mom, Theresa while working at the establishment and I ended up going on some outings with Taylor so she could pick-up some photography skills. Over the years, we ended up working together quite a bit once I started shooting weddings and she was my second shooter. And now…. working as a visual merchandiser for H&M and being the coolest blogger/Insta famous chick I know (give her a follow @forever.overdressed). I seriously couldn’t be happier for these two! Taylor and Connor currently live in Cleveland, OH and Connor is a videographer & photographer focused on commercial work. If you want to check out Connor’s work, check out his Instagram.

Pew seating for the ceremony, plenty of parking for your guests, the orchard at sunset (my favorite), I love the patio area at night, nice airflow through the event barn, and close to Lexington!

A few wedding teasers for the bride and groom, Julia and Jeff. An idyllic Kentucky wedding in April at the Polo Barn at Saxony Farm in Lexington, KY.
The story of their love and how it all began:
We sat at desks next to each other in graduate school in Pittsburgh for a few years before ever really getting to know each other. We were both studying philosophical questions in the physical sciences. Jeff’s desk in the corner gradually accumulated so many books that he could hide behind them, especially with his headphones on, and Julia was taking on too many projects and not in the office much while she worked on her dissertation. Eventually she moved offices and our contact was even sparser. Then Jeff started playing pool with Julia’s friend, Katie. Julia came along a few times, and later starting tagging along with them to the gym. It turned out that the of us shared a sense of humor and interests in physical training, sci-fi, dancing to ’80s music, and space, as well as some similar philosophical views. Most of all, though, we shared a delight in each other’s company. We began spending more time together and became fast friends. A lunar eclipse was due to appear over Pittsburgh in the wee hours of the morning on April 15, 2014, and Jeff suggested we watch it together. Julia was skeptical of her ability to stay awake, so put on a movie–Say Anything–to pass the time until the eclipse came out. When the hour was right we went outside. Despite the cloudy night, we caught intermittent glimpses of the moon, growing dark and then deep pink. While we were waiting for a wave of clouds to pass, Jeff spun Julia around and kissed her for the first time. It was a very good kiss.
