Louisville Wedding Photography

If a picture is worth a  thousand words….then times that by five!!  This photograph may be the proof needed that I should not venture into the world of child photography anytime soon! (No, really I do really love to photograph children!!) We all remember our parents lining us up on the couch with the cousins or friends, being duly threatened (or bribed) and then the brigade of flashes started.  It is hard to believe that I am now in the role of….”sit up straight…smile…stop crying…get your finger out of  your nose!  For the record the tortured children in this delightful photograph did receive their just reward via the local ice cream shop.  Cheers for the lazy days of summer!!

As we reach the mid-point of the  2009 wedding season, it is fun to take a breath and think back on all of the amazing weddings we have photographed so far this year.  Busy might be a giant understatement, but we have had a blast working with so many great couples and look forward to fabulous weddings we have ahead.  Bookings for 2010 have been strong, so all around we are in a very happy place.  We barely had time to re-pack from Christan and Dan’s wedding in New York before we headed out again to photograph Brooke and Chad’s wedding in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.  There is no place I would rather be than on a beach or playing in the ocean, so I have to admit I was thrilled just to have the chance to smell the salty breeze.  The wedding weekend was super fun!  Everything kicked-off on Thursday night with an informal beach session with Brooke and Chad,  which wrapped up with a few shots of the family on the beach.  Friday morning we did a shoot with the bride and groom alone, and then everyone returned to the hotel to get ready for the rehearsal dinner that evening.  Saturday was the wedding ceremony, which was held at the Members Club at Grande Dunes.  The day was fun and relaxed - the guys headed out for a round of golf while the girls spent the morning at the salon.  Fortunately, we were able to find some time before the ceremony to photograph the bridal party on the beach.  The weather had been a bit questionable and I was a bit nervous about how the day would play out.  We could see the rain rolling in from the distance, so we picked up our tempo a bit and took a lot of great beach shots…really fast!  We got back to the beach cabana just before the heavens broke loose.  Fortunately, the rain passed and all was well for the ceremony later that afternoon.  Following the ceremony the bridal party met back at the Marina Inn at Grande Dunes to hop on a friends yacht for a fun ride down the intercostal waterway to the reception.  Good times were had by all, and I was so thrilled to a part of all the festivities.  Congrats!!

Hot!! Hot bride, hot groom and super hot temperatures!  To say that the day was unusually warm would be an understatement, however, the heat did not detract from the beauty and excitement of the day.  I love the simple elegance and natural environment of Yew Dell Gardens, and the tented reception following the outdoor ceremony was spectacular.  Carol Grisanti headed up and all star team of vendors to make the day completely flawless.  I can never say enough about Carol and her approach to weddings!  Brides…if you are worrying about the details of your day are coming together my best advice to you is give Carol a ring.  (Then go have a margarita!) 

Enjoy!~

I get that bitter-sweet, melancholy feeling as wonderful vacations come to an end.  Tomorrow is our last day at the beach and I am already feeling a bit sad.  Of course I am ready to settle in back home, but there is nothing like the carefree days of summer to tempt us away from life’s obligations and responsibilities.  I took the boys out this evening for a little photo session, and as much as I love them photographing one’s own children is quite a task.  I was about ready to send up a flare for the super fabulous Melanie Mauer to come rescue me from my endeavor.  With one camera and several assistants we managed to come up with some fun shots.  What can I say….they are my kids so of course I think they are cute.  So, thank you for agreeing with me~

Stacy and Michael celebrated their wedding in early June before the crazy heat wave hit.  The perfect day was only a reflection of their beautiful spirits and their love for each other.  I have a particular fondness for country churches, especially ones that have the quaint red doors.  We had so much fun finding locations for the pictures.  Stacy and Michael designed a time-line that allowed them to relax and enjoy their day.  We were never rushed and were able to take tons of great pictures. Best Wishes to you both.

Speaking of relaxing…We are spending the week at Myrtle Beach for some much needed R&R.  The view from the 18th floor condo is amazing.  So here I sit…looking at the ocean, sipping my lemonade and staring at the ocean.  (Not a bad day!)

P.S.  - Stacy and Michael-  the last picture was shot on the way home from the reception - this one is for you!
