Sneak peek

Here’s a little peek at a Louisville Engagement Photography session…
More to come….. :)

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.

I love Emily’s sass!! Her personality is so bubbly and fun.. she is adorable. I like how Luke is keeping his composure.. “like he has been trained”… but i think he may have a soft spot for some little cutey!!

Here’s a Louisville engagement photography session that i am finishing right now, but i couldn’t help but share this super cute picture of emily and luke. Emily knew how to work the camera… adorable!!

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!!

In case you didn’t know – Ross is a little mischievous – you will see more evidence as the day goes on.

One request that Ross made for his engagement pictures was for some pictures to be taken on a playground. These are just for you Ross!!

About 6 weeks ago, i get a call from Matt. He is going to propose to his girlfriend and wants me to be there on the day of the big event. I was extremely honored, of course!! I had to be careful to keep it quiet. He planned out the day and we met up at Anchorage Park in Prospect, Ky – which is just outside of Louisville. Prospect has a beautiful small town and is a great place for photographers to do surprise engagement photo shoots, as well :)!! I arrived just after the proposal and they were still all smiley and giddy. I love those moments!! … when you can’t talk without a big grin on your face!! We went to the place where he proposed,( he said.. he cried when he proposed). AWWW… Jordan, he’s a good one!! And to top it off, he scheduled a photographer to commemorate the day.. I say he’s doing pretty darn good!!! i was so happy to celebrate their engagement with them!!!
