My heart just smiled.

My good friends, Hannah and Jake, were married on a beautiful day in May. The ceremony and reception took place at the Farmington Plantation in Louisville. Very cool spot. Hannah and Jake had so many unique ideas that made the day all theirs in every way... see if you agree.

Her dress was creme with a champagne sash that came together in the back with a vintage pin.

Hannah, is this how you pictured yourself as a bride in your little-girl dreams?This is the moment when they first saw each other... after all the stress of getting ready and being asked a thousand and one questions... this is what its all about. This is why I love wedding photography. I get to be a part of all the emotion that goes along with a day like this. In this moment my heart just smiled.
So happy! Notice her lack of an earring? That lost (and found) earring was a source of several answered prayers that day!

This is the pathway that all of the guests took as they drove back to the wedding site.
Since I was privileged to also stand up with Hannah, the credit for this image and the next one belong to Jesse Fabish, Jake's brother. Thanks Jesse! This is one of my favorite wedding party shots ever!
Look at that light!

Leaving through a shower of rice! On their way to Anne(with an e)'s very own Prince Edward Island! Doesn't that just make your heart smile?

Now presenting

On a beautiful weekend in May, I had the privilege to be a part of this special couple's wedding day... you may have "met" this couple before, via their engagement photo shoot last year. At that time I had heard that they had a mutual passion and talent for singing. We all had the pleasure of experiencing it that day. They treated the whole audience, on their wedding day, to a song that they sung to and for each other. Tears came to my eyes as I listened to them declare their love, through a song, during the rehearsal.

The much anticipated and planned for wedding day is here!
Kaila looked like a princess.

Wouldn't you agree?

The prince...
I love it that the flower girl happened to be passing through on this one.
One of the many sweet guestures from Dustin to Kayla that day was a surprise trip in a full size tour style bus. It's their dream to someday ride in one of these full time, and with God's blessing I have no doubt that they will. So what a fitting "first ride" together.
The first dance. Congratulations Dustin and Kaila. You are a gifted and special couple to so many people. The love and grace of God was shining bright through you both on that day and I know it will continue... to bless others and glorify the matchless name of our Saviour.
