One of my first big weddings I ever did was at Undulata Horse Farms in Shelbyville. When Anna asked to do her engagement photos there, I was thrilled because it’s just simply beautiful and perfect for an outdoor photo shoot. So, we got on our boots and made the drive from Louisville to Shelbyville. Undulata farms doesn’t do weddings anymore but Anna managed to charm them enough to let us do her engagement session, we even got a peak inside the mansion. It’s all who you know.. I know Anna.. lol. In fact, I’ve known Anna for a few years now. She used to attend a bible study I led and then we got to go to Kenya together, which interestingly enough is where her and Ben first met. He was a summer missionary there and she came to spend a few weeks in Kenya helping out. They had to travel half way around the continent to meet and once they met, well.. it was all over – they were smitten. And still are :). I have evidence. Here are some of my faves from their engagement shoot. I must warn you there are a lot of faves… my brides are just too photogenic.

Louisville has been raining non-stop for about two weeks now and I have been getting trigger happy. So, instead of rescheduling their engagement session, Mallory and Chas agreed to do a mini session in the rain. Such good sports and I was happy to be shooting!! We chased ducks, made wishes on dandelions and well, just played in the rain. I loved Mallory’s super cute rain boots. Props are always fun to a photographer. I am looking forward to their sunny engagement session in a few weeks, but for now, here are my faves from their rainy day photoshoot.

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!!!

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:

Someone is gettin’ Hitched!!!! That’s how us kentucky folk say it anyway :) Another thing us Kentucky folk like to do is go on picnics. So, as i was talking with Kelly about what we would do on our way fun Engagement Photo Shoot – we decided a picnic would have to be somewhere in the mix. Kelly and John love wine so we incorporated that into their engagement session (no not the drinking it.. haha – we just represented with a bottle :)! We started in Oldham County which is just outside of Louisville.. to get the rolling fields and picnic type atmosphere.
Kelly’s eyes are awesome in this photo!! Hello Gorgeous!!

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.

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!
