Cristen & Jared’s Engagement Session
Tuesday, July 6th, 2010I traveled up to Bowling Green, KY to photograph the engagement of Cristen & Jared last week. The couple had the awesome idea of renting a killer 1940 Ford Sedan Deluxe from Labold Classics as a theme to work into the session. I also need to thank Tim Labold for being willing to help me out with a reflector and with positioning the vehicle throughout the shoot! We spent the session out on a back country road and in the fields, and couldn’t have asked for better weather.
Thanks for the wonderful shoot guys!












Megan & Alex’s Wedding
Saturday, November 22nd, 2008Megan and Alex were married in Bowling Green, KY, and I was honored to be there to chronicle the event with my great friend Kay Anderson. Megan is a professional designer, and her aesthetic for the wedding was classic and timeless. As such, I created an entirely black & white album from her images, with is featured as one of my sample albums.
The fourth image is worth a special note: I’d reached a point where I felt comfortable that I had enough “bride getting hair done” shots, so I left my second to cover in case anything happened, and asked the mother of the bride to step outside with me for a moment. It was a nice partly-overcast day, but a bit brisk. Knowing I didn’t have long, I chatted with Mom for a moment and then asked her: “If you could have one wish for your daughter’s marriage, what would it be.” She responded: “Only for her to be as happy as I’ve been.” This picture was taken just after her response, and just before the tears came. This image is not a “rockstar” shot with an amazing composition or elaborate lighting. This image matters to me, because I can see in this woman’s eyes just how much she loves her daughter.
Enjoy!

Megan & Alex’s Engagement Session
Wednesday, September 24th, 2008Megan and Alex chose to have their engagement photos taken out on the family farm in Bowling Green, KY, near the spot where Alex proposed. I knew that I had to shoot some strong photos, because Megan is a designer and has supremely discriminating taste!











Kelly & David’s Wedding
Saturday, June 28th, 2008For this wedding, I was fortunate to have Tony Schreiber along with me as a special guest. Tony is a good friend and an excellent photographer: many of his images are featured in this set. Kelly & David are friends of another couple of my clients: Chad and Jennie. They chose a wonderful venue for the ceremony: The Historic Railpark in Bowling Green, KY. The image of Kelly & David inside the car received an Accolade of Excellence in the first half 2009 WPPI International 8×10 Print Competition.
Enjoy!

Jennie & Chad’s Wedding
Saturday, May 31st, 2008Jennie and Chad were married on May 31, 2008 in Bowling Green, KY. You may notice a lot of familiar faces in the crowd for this wedding: Chad & Jennie seem to know everyone in Bowling Green, and provided me with a multitude of referrals up there! So many of my other BG couples attended this wedding. I love shooting families who are spontaneous, and the day was filled with much humor. I’m particularly partial to the shot of Chad’s dad giving him a big old kiss right before the ceremony…
