I 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!

I’ve known Dave for the better part of a decade, and he’s just an unbelievable human being. I was thrilled to be able to help out with his wedding up in Lexington, KY! Karen & Dave were married at the gate of Gratz Park, and then rode their horse-drawn carriage a few blocks to the Carrick House for a beautiful reception. Karen is an amazingly expressive woman, and she looked beautiful throughout the day: she was a joy to photograph. Her makeup artist Ana did a superb job, and that always makes a huge difference! I was ably assisted by Mr. Tom Cannon on this set.

Thank you so much Karen & Dave for allowing me to be part of your day. I hope you love these pictures! To register for the full online gallery, please follow this link to my Pictage site: David & Karen’s Wedding Gallery.

I journeyed up to Hopkinsville, KY this past week to do an engagement portrait session for Melissa and Bart, who are getting married in the fall. Melissa and Bart were looking for an organic, outdoorsy style of images that captures their personality, and also incorporates their furry family-members. I hope you all enjoy viewing this set as much as I did shooting it!

For 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 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…

I traveled up to Bowling Green, KY for this engagement session, which was shot both in town and on the Western Kentucky University campus. The heart wall was totally a lucky find, and I was thrilled with some of the shots inside the WKU auditorium. Kelly and David were a total joy to work with, and the session came out great!
