You may remember Kristina and Robert from their engagement photography session in September. I had so much fun being their photographer that we just instantly became friends. A little over two years since they first met and now they are married!!! This was one of the most traveled weddings that I have other done with four different destinations around Louisville.  We started in New Albany at the Sheraton, went to the Falls of the Ohio, then to Louisville at the Presbyterian Seminary Caldwell Chapel near Garden Court and then Jeffersonville, Indiana to have the reception at 300 Spring Street. Now that’s a destination wedding!!  haha.    Their wedding was beautiful and so was Kristina. I think I was just as taken aback as her family when I saw her for the first time in her mermaid style wedding dress – she was stunning!!! Robert was so blown away seeing her the first time – he just kept holding her hand. I love this picture because it shows the warmth of their wedding.

Their whole wedding had a warmth to it which I believe shows in their wedding photography. The day started out at the Sheraton Riverside in New Albany (across the river from Louisville) where the bridal party stayed the night before.  Kristina wrote Robert a letter while everyone was putting together the final touches to look gorgeous for her fall wedding.  

It was such a beautiful day with the fall colors and the warm weather, I just had to take the bridal party to the beach at the Falls of the Ohio for their outdoor wedding photos.  The bridal party was so much fun and so willing to do a little extra to get some stunning and amazing photographs for Kristina and Robert’s special day (even if it meant climbing rocks).  haha

This picture was taken somewhere in the middle of traveling.  The blue wall really makes her eyes pop!!!

Then off to Caldwell Chapel in Louisville at the Presbyterian Seminary where the ceremony was to take place.

Yes, I know .. lots of photos!!  I just have so many favorites from her wedding!!  Feel free to vote for as many favorites as you would like!   Here a few more from the reception at 300 Spring Street.   Her sister had the best maid of honor toast I have ever heard… i guess it was more like a rap than a toast.  Believe me i looked everywhere for a copy to post her infamous wedding rap, but i haven’t been able to find it.   Here’s a photo of the memorable event and Kristina’s reaction is priceless.

What a beautiful ‘destination’ wedding!  :)    For the rest of their wedding pictures, click here. Two more for the road.

While I was photographing the bride and groom, I just happened to look over and see a few of the groomsmen practicing for the reception.  Do you know what dance they are doing?   I’ll give you a hint: “It’s Electric!”   So funny and of course they nailed it at the reception!!   Way to go Men!!  Emily and Luke love dancing as well.  Such a fun wedding.  I loved being their photographer.   Emily and Luke chose to see each other before the wedding, which of course allows for some amazing photos!  Here are some of my favorites.

The guys were pretty funny – they loved getting their pictures done. So much so that i have a lot of them!! haha… i think they would have taken photos all day! Those of you who have followed my blog know that I have a soft spot for grandma’s since i lost mine a few years ago. I always tend to get a few extra of grandma! Here are some with Emily’s – such a sweet interaction.
Congratulations Emily and Luke!! Thanks for letting me be a part of your day!  For the rest of their wedding – click here.

Just a little wedding photo preview of what’s to come :) This couple is A-Dorable!

It matched the warmth of their wedding. (i am not being cheesy.. if you were there.. you would of said the same thing!! And you may have even teared up .. because i think EVERYONE did!!
