Imagine for a moment you are spending a lazy afternoon in one of the quaint little towns scattered across Kentucky, stopping for moment in a local coffee shop to enjoy a fresh hot cup of coffee on a cold cloudy day, when you look out the window and start seeing snow flakes, the only think left to do is grab a camera and a couple who can command your attention. Amanda & Aldo traveled down from Michigan to spend a romantic weekend together in their favorite hide out just a few hours from home, Louisville, the city has captured their hearts as much as each other did. What started out as just another chilly afternoon turned into a winter wonderland with a very romantic twist. We are so looking forward to their September wedding!
Kentucky weather is quite an interesting beast or so I am learning, early summer days are crazy with humidity or thunderstorms, as luck would have it we got the best of both on this Saturday. Late afternoon skies were well behaved for Lonnie & Miriah’s wedding, and more importantly their photos! At the end of I-265 just past exit 1 you will come to a place that is kept away from the every day hustle and bustle of modern life, the Farnsley-Moreman Landing sits with its back to the Ohio river and lush green meadows and rolling hill sides abound. An exquisite location for a couple looking to capture the true romance of the country lifestyle that makes Kentucky what it is. On this particular afternoon Lonnie & Miriah accompanied by close family and friends said their vows to each other and became husband and wife!
One of the things I love most about photography is the opportunities it affords me to travel to places I normally would never venture, meet Lonnie and Miriah who shared a bit of Heaven USA with me on this late spring afternoon. On a remote path out in the deep countryside I met up with them to photograph their engagement session. They invited me to their families get away on a 140 acres of open grassy fields with a lake front view, if you ever needed to get away from it all and just relax this is the place to go. They were an amazing couple to work with and they were so well suited to be together as the pictures below tell the whole story.
I love traveling for weddings and I love it even more when I get to see old friends, this trip to Orlando to shoot Christ+Doreen’s wedding was a perfect way to do both. Christ and I were stationed at Camp Casey Korea together along with a good friend and aspiring photographer Drew the Shooter. I look forward to many more trips to Florida to hang with old Army buddies and enjoy the sunny skies and beaches. The wedding took place in park just around the corner from where both Christ and Doreen lived, a place they both enjoyed often while running or taking the kids for walks along the flowing sidewalks that circled the lake in the center of the park. The clouds gave way just in time to capture some brilliant and amazing photos. Congratulations to this happy couple!
