Kristy loves books – she is always reading sometimes several books at a time. It seemed only suitable that we do their engagement shoot at the Louisville Campus, specifically the library. A little side note: Gordon is from Canada so that might help you appreciate one of these a little more. :)

Here it is, Louisville: my favorite wedding and engagement photos of 2010. Believe me, choosing my favorite photographs was not an easy undertaking!! Looking back at all the weddings and people I have met, I feel incredibly blessed to get to know so many awesome couples. To be included and invited into their lives on such a special day, is truly an honor and I am so thankful for each of them. I felt a little nostalgic looking back through all the wedding photos that sometimes I would get a little lost in remembering some of the funny moments and tear jerking moments as well. So, here it goes! Vote on your favorites too, the couple just may get a prize!!!

I have known Amanda and Gabe for about five years. It’s so amazing to see how their friendship turned into romance. Gabe is so good for Amanda and he makes her laugh. Watching them interact together was so sweet and adorable – I’m a fan! As a photographer, I often get the privilege of sharing in some intimate moments with couples. It’s so awesome to see people in love :). I’m thankful I get to celebrate their love story! I can’t wait for their Wedding! Here’s some from their Engagement Session at Louisville’s Speed Art Museum. Feel free to pick your favorites – and yes, you can have more than one :)

One of the best parts of being a wedding photographer is taking engagement photos. The engagement photo session allows the photographer to get to know the bride and groom and get a feel for who they are before the wedding. I also find that engagement sessions helps the bride and groom become more comfortable with their wedding photographer so that you end up with some amazing shots. That’s what happened with Emily and Luke as they began to be comfortable with me and get creative and make suggestions by their end of their shoot. So enjoyed getting to know them. And i am looking forward to their Louisville WEDDING in just a few weeks!!!
We spent the day in Louisville and had so much fun. Luke really surprised me when he showed up with his uniform on.. it totally changed the game plan for the day! And we went to Old Louisville and St. James Park to match what he was wearing with the best background. Here are some of my favorites.

Amanda is the bride that has got everything together.. she booked me as her wedding photographer about 16 months in advance! Her Louisville wedding is coming this October and I just know it will be fabulous!!! We had an amazing engagement photography session at Yew Dell Gardens, just outside of Louisville. The flowers and barn style buildings at Yew Dell made for great photographs. Here are some of my favorites:

I have known these two since before they were a couple. I have been able to watch them from Ross pursuing Jessie to Jessie getting all flutter-pated about Ross. (flutter-pated is when you can’t stop grinning and you talk in a high voice). Talk to some couples who are falling in love and you will see what i mean :). It’s adorable!! I even helped get the house ready so that Ross could propose :) !!!! So, here they are engaged and about to get married on JULY 31!!! woo hoo!! Yeah.. it’s great – i am so happy for them. I am looking forward to celebrating with them at the wedding. Here are some of the fun photos from their Louisville Engagement Photo shoot :) We went to the Mellwood Art Center to play around. Love it there.. such a fun environment!!
