{ Mike + Samantha Engagements by Amy! }

Mike and Samantha are getting married in October and for their engagement session they wanted to do something a little different. For the first two looks Samantha wore white dresses to make it more bridal. She even brought a little bouquet. We started with a picnic in the park, went to an awesome Bed and Breakfast called the Inn at the Park (where they are staying the night of their wedding), then did some downtown photos at nightfall.

Hair and makeup by Ana Crane-Simpson.

I love these next few. The lighting was amazing!

{ Kristian: Bridal! }

You may remember Kristian from her and her husband, Zac's, engagement session in January and their wedding from last month (post 1 and post 2.) I cannot stress enough how much I adore them both. Just today I received the sweetest thank you note in the mail telling me how much they've loved all of their pictures and how they cannot wait to work with me in the future. How stinkin' sweet!!! Needless to say when Kristian told me she wanted bridal pictures taken of course I was thrilled. Below are some of my favorite shots from our shoot last week... (Hair and makeup by the always astonishing Sara Drury from the Jon-Beck Salon in Lexington, Kentucky which is actually owned by Kristian's uncle.:)

I wanted to shoot some photos of Kristian down by the river and you are not going to believe what we found when we arrived at Cox's park. It was a car-boat! Not just a car and not just a boat, but a car-boat. I did not know that something like that existed but it ran on land and water! The owners of the car were so sweet and allowed us to take pictures with the car-boat. I could not pass that opportunity up! Below is a photo of the owner of the car taking Kristian out for a short cruise of the Ohio...

I loved that fact that the car's name was Molly Brown from "The Unsinkable Molly Brown"...

Of course I had to shoot Kristian's amazing Kate Spade's from her wedding...

Check out the propellers and engine on the back and how high up the muffler is. How cool?!?

For Kristian's last look I took her to the locally famous Homemade Ice Cream and Pie Kitchen for a more vintage-inspired set of pics. Notice the gorgeous birdcage veil with the feather and rhinestone accents...

How cute is she?!?`

I love the old jukebox in this photo...

{ Amy + Jon Anniversary Photos by Amy! }

For our 4th Anniversary in July, we stayed at this really cool B&B in Anna, IL called Davie School Inn. My husband Jon is from Southern IL and we discovered this gem a few years ago. It is an old school that they restored and kept the feel of an old school house- old maps, desks, chalk boards, etc. We were inspired to take photos just for fun to preserve some memories of our last anniversary of just the two of us-- If you haven't heard I am expecting and due next month. These photos were taken when I was at 30 weeks.

These next few were taken by my husband, Jon-

{ Candace + Neil Engagements: by Amy! }

Candace and Neil are getting married this fall in Louisville. For their engagement session, they really wanted to get creative with their locations. We started in the studio. Then Lauren Chitwood, a fantastic wedding & event planner of Lauren Chitwood Events was able to meet us and allow us to photograph at the gorgeous Greystone Estate located on the Ohio River for some beautiful outdoor photos. Neil has Churchill Downs connections granting us VIP access and some dramatic evening photos with the twin spires in the distance!

Candace's different hair and makeup looks were created by the amazing Ana Crane-Simpson.

Then to Greystone Estate . .

Now to Churchill Downs . .

{ Whitney + Brian: Angela }

Whitney and Brian were married in Jackson, Kentucky last month. I had definitely been looking forward to their wedding, well ever since I met them but especially since their engagement session. See it HERE. They were so much fun as I am sure you can see in the photographs. Brian makes me laugh so hard, he is charmingly goofy, charismatic. And Whitney, well she is stunning. And her smile is absolutely incredible. She absolutely lights up a room because when she smiles she just lets it take over her entire face. I love it. I *think* they may do a Mr & Mrs session for fun since we did not get as much time on the wedding day for fun photos. I have my fingers crossed because they would be awesome to do that with!!

So without further ado, the wedding!

The inimitable and impossible to live without, Ana Crane-Simpson was present!

The smallest, cutest little dog ever! I just loved her!

The ring on top in the next photograph was a beautiful gift given to Whitney by her parents on the wedding day.

The smile I was referencing above. :)

Whitney's mom. ;-)

{ Kristian & Zac: Wedding Post #2! }

Post 2 of Kristian and Zac's wedding at Keene Run Golf Club in Nicholasville, Kentucky. Kristian's alluring gown and flowers were from Ruth's Bridal and Stems in Lexington, Kentucky. Kristian's makeup by Ana Crane-Simpson and hair by Sara Drury...

Kristian, Zac, and I had so much fun taking portraits with all of the cute little props...

LOOOOVED the fake mustaches!!!

Kristian and Zac got a lot of their cute, vintage touches at their reception from etsy (which I totally dig), including this banner for their candy bar...
