{ Grace Ann + Matthew Wed Post 1 of 2 by Amy! }

use 2009 blog AA-09Watermark-BIG-amy-sm.jpg

You may remember Grace Ann and Matthew's cute engagement session I posted last fall or more recently Grace Ann's beautiful bridal session both photographed in Nashville. I was so excited to photograph their wedding because they are both wonderful people to be around and I knew they would have a fabulous wedding. The ceremony was held at Woodmont Christian Church in Nashville.

This is post 1 of 2:

All the girls had vintage handkerchiefs to carry with their flowers-

Her something blue-

Grace Ann's cowboy boots she changed into after the ceremony

Bridesmaids had elegant Jenny Yoo dresses

Grace Ann filled with emotions-

Grace Ann and Matthew gave all the bridesmaids cowboy boots and all the guys custom Chuck Taylors. After the ceremony they all changed.

More to come . . .

{ Erin + Greg Wed Post 1 of 2 by Amy! }

Erin and Greg were married at the gorgeous Talon Winery in Lexington. The event was coordinated by Ashley of Always Planned. Their wedding was beautifully simple and laid back. My favorite part was seeing them say their vows that they wrote and tearfully told to each other. I got to see them again this week for a family portrait session of their new family and will post those photos soon.

The photo below was during their "First Look". I thought Erin's expression was great!

It was a super hot day and guests loved the lemonade and tea before sitting for the ceremony

I love the next 2 photos!! Take a minute to look at the emotion with both Erin and Greg-

Greg kissed Erin's hand moments after the minister started his prayer and everyone was looking down. So sweet . . .

Part 2 of 2 of Lauren and Jeremy's wedding at Arlington Country Club in Richmond, KY.

Their grand entrance to the reception

They had an area on the piano with all of the parents and grandparent wedding photos. This one was one of my favorite!

Beautiful "present" style cake with perfect bow by Martine's Cakes

Cake cutting, but notice the junior bridesmaid in the window in awe :)

They gave out flip flops as favors for their guests at the reception! How fun! At the end of the night the baskets were empty!

Lauren and Jeremy were filled with joy the entire wedding day and it just exuded from them and their guests. Everything was gorgeous on this hot and humid June day. Worth a little sweat for great photos!! Their ceremony and reception was held at Arlington Country Club in Richmond, KY.

When Lauren showed me her invitation, I fell in love!! Classic calligraphy invitation by hand- Who does this anymore?? Just stunning and fit perfectly with Lauren's classic style.

Also love the lush peonies with extra long stems-

Her great grandmother handkerchief-

Lauren- so gorgeous! Makeup by Sara Drury.

{ Melissa + Abe Wed Post 2 of 2 by Amy! }

Post 2 of 2 from Melissa and Abe's wedding. Wedding planning, event design, and beautiful florals by Lauren Chitwood Events. Their reception was at The Gillespie downtown Louisville. There were several Arab traditions at the reception. They had a DJ and then a separate Arab music group that would alternate songs. I had never photographed an Arab reception before and it was really neat to see all the traditions take place. See below :)

When I photographing Melissa and Abe, Melissa's son Dillon surprised her -

I can remember at our first meeting, Melissa told me about this idea for a photo (below). So we went upstairs away from guests for this steamy photo-

Amazing decor and flowers by Lauren Chitwood Events.

This is the candle dance where the women circle Melissa with candles and alternate coming in the middle with her

At one point during one of the ceremonial songs, family and friends came with gifts of jewelry for Melissa

Melissa and Abe (Ibrahim) are a free-spirited fun couple. Melissa works with horses and teaches riding lessons and Abe is a Radiologist. Their wedding was just beautiful. I had never been to St. Michaels Orthodox Church before and just found it stunning, rich in tradition and colorful artwork. Their reception was held at The Gillespie in Louisville. Everything was well planned and beautifully decorated by Lauren Chitwood Events. Reception photos coming in post 2!

Melissa is so naturally beautiful and I loved her up-do!
