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 […]

It’s a thing, and I’m not mad.  Not mad at all…… Cathy posted on her FB page last Saturday, “So we did a thing…” Private weddings and elopements are catching on and it’s the coolest “thing!” If you don’t want all the fuss and fanfare of a traditional wedding (I love those too!!), but you […]

Joy and love shine any time of day, but early morning and late afternoon light just illuminates everything more beautifully. DeLinda and JB are new friends that I’ve been so blessed to meet. Their story is nothing short of a miracle, and their love for each other and for their new life is heartwarming. They […]

The glow in these photos is outshined only by the happiness on Alli and Mason’s faces.  They’ve smiled at each other for five years, and next May, Mason will put a ring on his blue-eyed beauty’s wedding finger.  He caught her attention first, but he is definitely equally interested now.  When a guy is willing […]
