Melissa and Brad started dating in high school and have been together for 6 years – that’s almost as long as Sean and I and we’ve been married for 5 years now.  I can’t imagine!  They must have been soooo ready to tie the knot!  Their day finally came last Saturday and we couldn’t be happier for them.  They are such a sweet couple with the sweetest families! 

The ceremony performed by Melissa’s dad at Community Church was beautiful and I don’t think you could have packed another soul into the ballroom at the Bluegrass Yacht and Country Club!  You guys have A LOT of friends!!  Thanks for having us join in the big celebration!  Hope you enjoy the sneak peek! :o)

Happy 4th everyone!

Before we get to Melissa and Brad’s wedding, I had to show you some of the images we created with Melissa for her bridal session.  We started out at Historic Cedarwood and then headed over to the Capitol and the Legislative Plaza (War Memorial Plaza) for the remainder of the session. 

Cedarwood is great because it’s a rural setting just outside of downtown.  It makes it so easy to get a variety of settings in a short period of time.  Linda and the rest of the staff were very generous in inviting us in to use their house and grounds.  Thanks Linda! 

Melissa’s dad did quite a bit of work up at the Capitol when Melissa and her sisters were kids so she has a lot of great memories from spending time there with her dad.  Add to that the fact that it’s a stellar place for a shoot, and it was the perfect second location choice! 

Hope you enjoy them! :o)

We have been dying to show you Jessica and Jason’s wedding that we photographed back in February!  We just had to wait until the press came out with it first and it’s finally here!  We had expected a February wedding to be freezing but in a total fluke, it warmed up to something like the 60’s for their wedding day and the weather was sublime.  CJ’s Off the Square was the perfect place for this intimate wedding and Amy and her crew were spectacular hosts!  It was such a sweet, laid-back wedding with family and close friends.     

Sean and I have not exactly been the best at finding time to submit to magazines which is why it was so nice to have Jessica’s lovely publicist do it for us! :o)  We’re super excited to have their wedding featured in this season’s In Style Weddings!  You can find them in the “Celebrity Weddings” section.  We’ll be getting more from their day up soon but for now, go pick up a copy of In Style and check them out! 

On a side note, many of you have seen the feature already and sent us the sweetest emails.  Thank you so much for sharing in our excitement over our first published work! :o)
