I absolutely love this couple.. i laughed so much my jaw hurt. We had so much fun all over Jeffersonville in Indiana taking pictures and finding out of the way fun places. I thought of going to this part of town because of Adrianne’s Bakery. Claudia is an amazing pastry chef – seriously!! She does wedding cakes and cupcakes so i thought she would love to meet Adrianne and visit her cute little bakery for inspiration. We decided to hang out in there to start off the engagement photos as the atmosphere is so them.

Spent the day in Louisville taking some photos for save the date cards. We will do their full engagement sessions later, but we needed to get some save the dates out right away so that no one would miss their special wedding day :). We spent about thirty minutes out in the Louisville cold to capture some of these. We will do lots more when it’s warmer. Here are some of the favorite from the mini engagement session

Here’s a little sneaky peak at my friends mini engagement shoot in downtown louisville. I say mini because we just needed a few pictures for a save the date and the rest of the engagement session will be done when it’s warmer in louisville… much warmer :). I love this one.. because it it so them.. playful and fun.
There are some brave souls out there… willing to go out into the wintery mess of Louisville and play in the snow for some fun-filled engagement photos. After seeing an amazing engagement photography session IN the SNOW!!! – by the fabulous Bobbi + Mike – i was so inspired to do some myself. So, you can imagine how thrilled i was to have Jenna and Nate call me and ask if they can get some photos in the snow!! woo hoo They were pretty excited too!

Just a little side note… that i forgot to mention. One of my roomies got engaged over the holidays!!!!! woo hoo. Her boyfriend asked if he could get in our house to decorate her room (wink). Yes, girls totally know the code – it’s not really that hard to figure out when a guy says he wants to decorate– HA. And she was so surprised ..i heard her yell… Yes :) !!!!! Soon, i will get to do their engagement photos.
And then the very next day, another friend got engaged. There have also been several more. Love is just all around me :)
I had to grab some photos of the happy girls!! and, of course, show off the bling!!
And their fellas are so amazing. I’m so excited i get to participate in celebrating both couples by doing their photography. So, you will definitely see these couples again!!! All together now on the count of three
1 votes // vote as favoriteI may have to practice with Ari (the guy on the end:) haha. One more time….
1 votes // vote as favoriteI wonder who will be next :)
I pretty much love all the brides i get to work beside. I am absolutely honored that they choose me to be their wedding photographer. A wedding can be a pretty intimate time for a couple and it is a privilege to get to be a part of their special day and capture those moments through photography. 2009 was my first official year as a Louisville wedding photographer so I am thrilled to show you some of my favorite moments and photos from these weddings which are in Louisville, Cincinnati and random other parts of KY. I have included some engagement photos as well.
Jessi and Josh – so much fun running around louisville getting these amazing shots that so captured their personality.
yes, they are in a dryer :)

Ah.. love. i LOVE it. Seriously i am a sucker for it. That is why i am a photographer.. because i like to celebrate love, engagements, family and weddings :) – i love LOVE!! ha – i know.. such a girl. However, i must say that one of my favorite parts about photography is when i can show people how beautiful they are and capture their personal moments that celebrate relationships. Just recently, i photographed an engaged couple who both are not fond of having their pictures taken. I had to get creative to get them to loosen up. We had a great time running around Louisville taking photos.. i even was able to get them acting natural and interacting together. But the best compliment ever is when a couple is overjoyed by their pictures – they were so surprised. But they shouldn’t be – i am just capturing them at their best in good light :) Here are Amanda and Wayne in their Louisville e-session.
Nothing like a good ole fashioned leaf fight. Ha.
