Versailles Engagement Photography: Adam + Christine

2010 is zooming to a rapid conclusion and I still have lots of photos that haven't yet made the blog! I couldn't let any more time pass, though, before sharing these from Adam and Christine's engagement session in Versailles. Having recently relocated in the Bluegrass to realize a long-time dream of owning a horse farm, Adam and Christine are planning for the next big venture in their lives: marriage! I'm excited to be photographing their June nuptials for a nearly entirely-out-of-town guest list, hailing from the east and west coasts and a few northern states in between. Wanting to share the best of their new home, Adam and Christine's wedding will be held none other than on their property. A farm girl myself, I was completely loving shooting all over their acreage, especially inside the barn. Enjoy a few of my favorite images...

Versailles Engagement Photography: Shaun + Nicole

Earlier this month I had the pleasure of photographing Shaun and Nicole's engagement photos. They are getting married in Maysville this June and I'm looking forward to their wedding at an historic home there! This was my first time to meet Shaun and he arranged for us the opportunity to shoot on a beautiful private farm in Woodford County. The weather was kind of iffy but somehow we managed to dodge cloudbursts and hailstorms that reportedly fell all around us, but nary a drop on us!

Nicole laughed that she doesn't do serious very well -- I thought they did just great! This was one of my favorites!





I think I could have shot all afternoon in the field above. I loved those skies and November light!

Michael and Rachel

Last weekend provided the special treat of spending some time with Michael and Rachel at one of Kentucky's most spectacular natural treasures: Red River Gorge. And the fresh snowfall on the ground was literally the prettiest icing on our landscape. Rachel and Michael were great sports, climbing up and down trails and sitting in cold snow on even colder rocks as I asked. I believe sign language was even employed at one point when I couldn't shout over the roar of flowing water. (I can't imagine how that looked!) And it all was fun (at least for me -- I was able to dress in multiple layers, probably resembling the abominable snowman because after all, I wasn't the one being photographed). If they were cold, they never complained! But enough writing... here's a sampling of my favorites:

Yesterday I was reading the most recent issue of Rangefinder and learned an unofficial term which I think would apply to the image above: lovescape

Thanks, Rachel and Michael! I really enjoyed the time with you both and can't wait for May! ;-)

Amber's Engagement Session Collage

After taking someone's photograph, I don't often have the privilege of seeing what they do with their finished prints or wall art (aside from those used in albums)! You can imagine my excitement when Amber described the famed wall collage she made with her engagement photos. I asked her to take a snapshot of itbecause I REALLY wanted to see how it turned out.

She was so sweet to oblige and then gave me permission to share here on the blog with you all! I love the combination of color and black and white photographs. I think it really lets your eye move around the collage, yet enjoy each image independently.

If I've taken your photographs and you have a cool wall display you want to share -- snap a photo of it and e-mail it to me! You'll make my day!

Here's a link back to my favorites from Amber and Kaleb's engagement session at an amazing Woodford County horse farm...

Drew and Kelsey's Wilmore Engagement Photos

I really enjoy taking engagement photos and Drew and Kelsey's were no exception. These two (as you can see) are great friends with the camera and selecting images for this post was quite difficult! We had fun shooting here in little 'ol Wilmore and I love that even in a "familiar" place, I can find new places to shoot. I promise for the railroad track photo we were literally just crossing the tracks and snapped like three pics. ;-) Drew and Kelsey -- thanks for a fun evening and enjoy these days of being engaged! Blessings on your wedding next May!
