Brittany & Chris: Lexington Wedding Photography

/

Get ready for a detail explosion.  Brittany's fabulous taste combined with her creativity made for a beautiful southern wedding.  I am in love with this wedding's color palette: coral, light blue, and silver.  The reception venue (The Bell House) itself matched with its blue walls and ivory decor.  Lovely!  And then, of course, there is the bride and groom.  Brittany and Chris are the sweetest couple.  It was an honor to witness their marriage. Even though I see the day through the viewfinder of a camera, I almost always get caught up in the emotion of it all.  It's a beautiful thing.  And then you get to see what I saw. Enjoy!

Love her veil.  She totally pulled it off.

The flowergirl boxes were painted and decorated by Brittany and her wedding entourage.

The adorable little guy above is Chris' son, Kade.  Check out the jars below with her old, new, borrowed and blue items.  Cute!

Brittany, you are beautiful bride.

Every table had a floral arrangement and a song title.  When the DJ played the table's song, the guests had to get up and boogie to it.  Great idea to get the party started.

DeRae created a delicious spread with all sorts of fun, southern foods.  BBQ sundae, anyone?

Their last name is Jones!

I look at the these and I just smile.  Why?  Because Rebbecca's smile is contagious and because they bring back such fond memories of the day.  A few of my favorite moments were (these are in addition to the pictures of course): - Jonathan seeing Rebecca for the first time.  These two are the perfect match.

- The wedding party walking down the street in the heat for me since we had extra portrait time.

- Working with the lovely ladies of Good Shepherd.  They have coordinating down to an art form!

- Seeing old college friends at the reception.  Gabe and I went to school with Jonathan.

- Riding the limo to the reception.  Limos are so fascinating to me.  How do they make those turns?!

- Reception dancing.

Enjoy!  Happy Monday!

The picture below begs a couple questions.  What's so funny?  Why is my mouth so agape?  Who is taking the picture?

The Beautiful Rebecca: Lexington Bridal Portraits

/

The week before her wedding, I met Rebecca, her mom, and her sister at Spindletop Hall.  Rebecca scheduled her hair and make-up trial for the same day and also brought a bouquet along for the shoot.  It was perfection.  Bridal portraits are a great idea because it is just me and you (the bride) for a relaxed session before your wedding.  We get plenty of portraits the day of the wedding but this is a fun opportunity to get all dolled up before the wedding and take photos at a different location.  You gotta have a hair and make-up trial, may as well slip on the dress and get a few photos too.  Love her dress by the way. Look for the Rebecca and Jonathan's wedding blog post later this weekend. In other news, we are featured today in the launch of Wedding Row Kentucky.  We are proud to be their first featured wedding and a preferred vendor as well.  You can check out the site for fun wedding ideas and inspiration in our area.

Happy Friday!  No wedding for me this weekend, so I have decided to tackle more editing and making a pizza from scratch.  Oh boy.
