Chris 'n Carrie

After some confusion during which we discovered that there are not one, two, or three, but FOUR Heine Brothers coffee shops on Bardstown road (honestly, is that necessary?), we finally landed at the same one. I thoroughly enjoyed my time getting to know them and talking about their wedding coming up in September. They are laid back, easy to work with and I genuinely appreciate that! For example, I have to embarrass Chris and mention that his one special request for the wedding photography is that we have as many awkward close-ups of his friends as we could manage. Photographers, how often do you get permission, and not only permission, but requests, like that!? :)

Meet Chris and Carrie...Love Carrie's shoes!

In contrast to the serious pose above, I had to post this one.
Isn't Carrie photogenic??I believe the answer to the above question is yes!A pretty old church...
And a good-looking young couple...
Classic situation. He's a Louisville fan, she's a Kentucky fan... we did a really fun series with these t-shirts. I wanted to post them all!
They look like they get along pretty well for rival fans...
They took me to where they had their first kiss – on a playground. It was a gorgeous day and there were underage kids tearing around everywhere. They did a great job with this part of the session, I'm really glad we came!
We had to boot some kids (nicely, of course) off the swings to get these. Once again, I'm so glad we did. I really like this one, it has that little something...
Last, but not least, one of my most favorites...
You guys were great! I'll look forward to September!

Mark + Melissa

You might recall a wedding in the recent past where the bride has some similarities with this bride. For good reason, Katie is Melissa's sister and got married just 6 months ago. Melissa and I also have tons of memories together. I love this girl! Not only is she so much fun, but above all, she has a heart that seeks God no matter the cost. And she got married this past weekend in Michigan! Seeing her with Mark would put a smile on anyone's face. I know Mark is a good man, he treats her so well and makes her SO HAPPY. A beautiful thing to see God's plan unfold for them!
Beautiful, and it shines from the inside out.So happy!UPDATE: As I was looking back over this post, I wondered to myself, "What's with the groom always taking second violin at their own weddings??" So, this is Mark – looking pretty good himself... He's definitely looking at Mel here. And that's the way he likes it, obviously. :)
They met out west on a traveling harvest crew, so it was only fitting that we photograph at the farm... I love this one of them!
And this one.

A fun little shot...
This wedding party looks like they came right out of the latest "winter wonderland weddings" magazine, don't they?

The colors for the wedding were orange and blue, and it was gorgeous! Melissa thought of every little detail...
We headed outside for one last shot... Here's to having and holding each other for the rest of your lives.
Love you guys!
