Kailee married Jamison surrounded by family and friends at The Gillenwater Barn in Tompkinsville. I met these two back in the early spring when we did their engagement photos.  I learned then that they are an amazing couple, and they are deeply in love – and such fun to be around.  I love that they […]

It was a stunning display of florals, joy, and love at Shaker Springs last Saturday. Katelyn and Jr are incredibly loved and their friends and family couldn’t smile any more than they did last Saturday.  They both grew up with acres of land and with a love for family and animals alike.  I think the […]

I can’t begin to find the words to describe the perfect beauty of Kayla and Logan’s wedding at Country Ridge Venue!! The Franklin-Stewart wedding was a labor of love and lots of planning. Kayla’s mom did her flowers, her food, and so many other things behind the scenes. But, as with all weddings, not quite […]

Elizabeth and Cole’s wedding at the Naimoli Estate Vineyard and Winery was one of the most sentimental and also most energetic weddings ever. I had already determined that the Mathis-Abbott wedding would be both of those.  Sentimental because this couple loves and loves deeply.  Not only do they love each other with their whole hearts, […]

I’ve known them both for years, and Erika since she sat in my 7th grade Social Studies class and talked just a little bit. The history I have with this couple makes me smile. They are both my friend and I’ve seen joys and struggles with each of them separately, and now happiness for them […]

I can’t wait to photograph Julie and Joe’s wedding at Twisted Cedar Farms, Lebanon, in October!  I met Julie a few years ago when she was a bridesmaid in her friend Brooke’s wedding.  It’s always amazing to me how paths cross, move away, and then cross again. They are the absolute sweetest couple (Sorry that […]

At this point, we’ve photographed over a thousand weddings through the last 27+ years. And no two have ever been the same. That’s one of the most beautiful aspects of weddings. Almost every little girl dreams of her wedding day. She plans and changes her ideas through the years, and virtually every time, it happens […]

Chasidy and Dwayne married in front of the apple tree in their back yard. Their close family and friends shared in the joy.  Both Chasidy and Dwayne wrote their own heartfelt vows and promised to stand side by side until this life is over.  Their love for each other and for their family/friends was so […]

As soon as Aaron began to tell me his plan, I knew the perfect spot. I’ve wanted to photograph a session at Briar Rose Garden for a couple of years, and it just hadn’t worked out. What better place to capture some romance, a proposal, and the deepest joy than in a beautiful flower garden? […]

It rained. And rained again.  That’s the story of life in Southern Kentucky in 2021.  Luckily Highland Stables has both indoor and outdoor space for ceremonies, so it didn’t matter one bit.  With the July heat, indoor was the place to be until it cooled down anyway.  No one really believes much in old wive’s […]
