Katy & Justin at The Henry Clay Building

There were so many things to love about photographing Katy and Justin's wedding last July.

- The tears as Katy read Justin's sweet letter. 
- The look on Justin's face as he realized that Katy had gotten him a 23 year old bottle of Pappy.
- The roughly four pounds I lost from the HEAT!
- The kids!  (Just wait, you'll see what I'm talking about.)
- Observing Katy's special relationship with her father.
- Watching those who love Katy get emotional as they watched the father daughter dance.
- Justin and his boys were a riot.
- Getting access to the super intimate, beautiful moment right after Katy and Justin committed to unconditionally love one another for the rest of their lives.  It was amazing!  (See the images that were shot through a crack in the door below.)
- Justin and his boys get their fiddling on toward the end of the night!

Madison & Alex at The Gillespie Building

Happy winter everybody!  I've got a doozy (sp?) of a wedding from July to warm you up.  (Just because I'm blogging more recently doesn't mean I'm any where CLOSE to caught up... someday.)

Madison and Alex (two huge Kentucky Wildcats) had one of those weddings that you can't erase from your brain if you tried.  Not that you'd want to try.  Because it was amazing. 

I've never been to a fraternity party.  But after experiencing firsthand Madison and Alex's wedding reception, I've got a pretty good idea what I missed out on in my younger days. 

I'd like to make a few comments before the images.

- Older folks and selfy sticks make me laugh.
- I LOVE the way Alex looked at Madison all day.
- How about all those bridesmaids... you all are awesome!
- Yes... Alex has a twin.  When in doubt, Alex is the one with the white bow tie. 
- The mother son dance was insane.  Future grooms take note.
- There may or may not have been flying pizza during the reception.
- This group really knows how to celebrate.  Pom poms, groomsmen convincing bartenders to let them bring trays full of drinks to the dance floor, hoisting people up in the air like Green Day concert... the list goes on.  And so did this wonderful wedding.

Matia & Andrew at Spindletop Mansion

Two blog posts in one week?  What's gotten into me?

When Matia and I talked on the phone about her upcoming fourth of July wedding, I knew I had to be involved.  She told me their incredible "we met on a flight when I least expected it" story and what she had planned for her fourth of July wedding at Spindletop Mansion in Lexington.  And how Andrew is in the horse business and how he's got family flying in from all over the world for the wedding. 

The wedding did not disappoint.  These two were styling, expressive and incredibly sweet toward one another which made documenting the wedding a sheer joy.  Not to mention two adorable flower girls and a classy getaway car.  (Note: if you want to make your wedding photographer smile, have adorable kids in the wedding and a classic car... among other things of course.)

I love telling people's stories through a collection of photographs.  Here is theirs.
