Sneak peek

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

Here is a little peek at an Engagement shoot i am working on…. Stay tuned – many more to come. :)

Went out to Fox Hollow right outside of Louisville to photograph an awesome couple on their wedding day. I absolutely LOVE this couple and I had so much fun being their engagement and wedding photographer. They are adorable. I told Claudia that is just plain wrong that one bride can be that cute in every picture. And Fox Hollow was perfect for their Wedding Day – it started off raining but cleared up just in time for photographs. YAY!! Here are some of the fun photos for their day!

Went to a bridal show a few weeks ago in Louisville… and wanted to announce the winner of our wedding drawing. The lucky bride and groom get 20% off a wedding package of their choice when combined with videography. And the winner is!!!!!

Ha.. i almost showed all of Kathy’s information – had to do a little quick edit. In order to redeem – just contact us before the end of the month.
For those of you tuning in… Eric and I will give 10% off the total wedding package (photography and videography) if you book both of us before Feb. 1, 2010. Looking forward to capturing your beautiful day :)

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 :)

Amanda and Jamie are the couple i got to spend the most time with.. they hired me to do several events with them the week of their wedding. I had so much fun with them.. and really developed a friendship. I even came up with an idea for his grooms cake which Jamie absolutely loved and did :) haha. Their bridal party was so much fun too .. we laughed so much and i really enjoyed getting to know them and their families.

Louisville Photography Engagement-16

Love is in the Air

posted in Engagement

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.

I just love chicago!! I wish i could have stayed longer to take a lot more pictures

Why am i there? Well I went to Chicago for the day to learn from “Mr. Tofurious” – Lawrence who taught all us wedding photographers some cool stuff that will be way helpful for my wedding photography business. So, happy i went!! I also met so many cool wedding photographers like Kenny Kim, who was so nice to offer to drive me to the airport, Jay Crihfield, who is a veteran in photography, Otto Rascon, so friendly and personable, Ray Pryor, used to be a web designer,Kameron Olds, way fun photographer, molly michels, we had so much fun with our iphonesPeter Garr, great guy – very knowledgeableKara Schultz who had such a joyful personality and Bob Davis (who btw: is also doing p90x – but he totally brought cookies to the meeting :) – don’t tell Tony Horton. Talk about awe struck – It was awesome to meet all these guys who have done so much already. I am just so thankful they are not grumpies as Dane Sanders says – they truly are generous and humble photographers ready to teach and give advice to those who are still wet behind the ears. I was thankful to meet all of them.

As a result of going to the photography conference, i have been able to network with so many more wedding photographers who i am looking forward to learning from and hopefully working with one day. Photographers like Jessie Cho, Marin Kristine, Miguel Pola, Chelsea Elizabeth – just to name a few :)

After we were brain dead from all the awesome information… we went out to replenish ourselves – by eating some deep dish chicago style pizza – YUM!!!

Lawrence likes the fried food – lol. (taken from iphone)
