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!

When our credit union called in a favor to run a photo booth for their annual end of summer charity event for Children’s Hospitals I was happy to say yes! We met a lot of great people and had a ton of fun with our basket of props for the kids to dress up with, even some of the older kids got in on the fun, heck even had a grandma wearing a costume! Making people smile is what I love about photography, but making people laugh is just an absolutely wonderful perk of the job. We are offering these photos for people to use as they wish for personal use only, basically that means you can’t sell the image or use it any commercial medium, posting on facebook is ok, emailing it to grandma is cool, selling it to Martha Stewart magazine is not!

The photos here are just a highlight, if you would like to see all the photos please visit our online gallery by clicking this link: End of Summer Fest Pictures

Erica is an all around great person to know, she is hard working, honest, and always has a smile for anyone. This year I am starting to add senior portraits/shots to my list of services I will be offering, pricing and availability will be updated on the site shortly, for now these few shots were taken just before the sun was going to start setting. We had a lot of fun trekking around Shelbyville stopping randomly by abandoned places and taking photos.

I absolutely love the evenings in Kentucky and to make it even better we had a friend come by with her little girl who was looking to have some photos done. Erica was such a fun spirited little girl, she loved being in front of the camera and had a million poses she wanted to do, although we didn’t have time to capture everyone that she wanted we did get as many as we could. To sweeten the deal our neighbors run Windy Ridge Quarter Horses stables and allowed us to use one of their horses for the photo session, which was a perfect touch!

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!

Aggghhh the mystical land up yonder beckens, as it turns out I have never been to Canada, since this seems shameful in the light of all my other border crossings in Europe and elsewhere overseas I thought it was high time to make the trip. At last what should I find that I can point my camera at…

Congratulations to Ron + Natalie! We had a very successful day the rain even cooperated with the events, it started raining right as they were driving off with the wedding party to the after party, amazing but true. Everything went off without a hitch and it was an amazing day for Ron and Natalie. Natalie was so much fun to work with, an absolute dream to photograph. Natalie is set to deploy to Iraq sometime later in the year, I hope they will enjoy these photos for the time they have to be apart. Thank you guys for allowing me to be part of this truly wonderful day.
