Margaret & Brantley at the Brown Hotel

Margaret is the kind of bride I love to photograph.  She's stunning, styling and has a real inner beauty that everybody sees.  At several points during the day she would ask me about my family and my adoption and even my beliefs.  On her wedding day, she's asking me questions about my family and wanting to make others feel important?  To me, that's real beauty. 

And Brantley? I liked him right away... but when he switched into that white dinner jacket for the reception?  Mind blown.

Wedding Planner: Mackenzie Spalding of One Fine Day//  Wedding Band: Louisville Crashers//  Church: Basilica at St. Joseph's Proto-Cathedral//  Reception Venue: The Crystal Ballroom at the Brown Hotel

Countryside Linen Coffee Table Book

One of my favorite things about my job is creating a family heirloom that my clients will cherish forever.  Eleanore and Justin's sample wedding book just arrived at the studio.  It's absolutely stunning.  This one is a 15x10 inch coffee table book with 64 pages and a light countryside linen cover.  It's even more gorgeous in person. 

Lauren & Michael at The Olmsted

Sometimes I feel like Spotify stuck on the repeat. 

- So and so's wedding was so much fun. 
- How gorgeous is this bride?
- Look at how much they love each other.
- Details... (those monogrammed robes are pretty stellar!)
- That party though.

And you know what?  I'm completely fine with it.  When you have clients as wonderful as Lauren and Michael, you're going to rave about them. Their wedding at the Olmsted was characterized by most of my favorite things in life.  Smiles, hugs, laughter, joy, family, love and friends.  Oh... and some really funky dancing.  Don't believe me?  Take a gander. 

I do believe there is one thing that separates this wedding from ALL of the other weddings I've photographed.   I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've blogged a photograph of someone picking someone else's nose.
