Post #2 of Allison and Robbie's wedding begins with the ride in the double-decker bus to the reception site...  (Makeup by Ana Crane-Simpson!)

As I mentioned in Allison and Robbie's last blog, they were a very entertaining and lively bunch...

Allison and Robbie had been taking an island vacation before their wedding and Robbie had not seen their pup, Cali, in a couple of weeks.  Allison surprised Robbie by having a relative bring Cali up to the reception so that they could see each other on the wedding day and for the first time in weeks.  As a dog-lover myself I thought it was adorable..  He was so pleasantly surprised...

Allison and Robbie had their reception held at the impressive Embassy Suites...

Allison and Robbie surprised Allison's mother and father with a special dance who were celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary...

Then the groomsmen surprised Allison with a "boy band" inspired serenade...

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 . . .

More to come . . .

I have absolutely loved having Allison and Robbie as wedding clients this year.  They are so welcoming and have very "open-arm" demeanors that make you feel like you have known them your whole life.  They had been dating for 7 years and when they said their vows I even got a little emotional as if I had been on their journey with them the whole time.  Allison got ready at her parents beautiful home in Lexington.  There were so many awesome art pieces in their house that I had no problem finding spots to photograph the details.  In the first shot Allison is accompanied her sister, Amanda, who did Allison's hair for the big day and her and Robbie's darling pooch, Cali.

Loved the little black bridesmaids dresses from White House Black Market, and yes, it was a HUGE (but very entertaining) bridal party.  :)


Allison's mother gave her a white button-up shirt for getting ready the day of the wedding.  On the shirt it had the word "Bride" on the breast pocket and Allison and Robbie's names and wedding date on the back.  I did catch this other cute little detail that was on the collar of the shirt...

Allison and Robbie got married at the absolutely stunning Saint Peter's Church.  This church is amazing!  It is a truly breath-taking building with many Mediterranean influences (my favorite!)

Check out the hilarious cups!

I love Robbie's smile from ear to ear...

Off to the bus!  Post 2 coming soon!!!  :)

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!

The Quack Band

Jeremy with all his Centre grads!

And Lauren with some of her sorority sisters from UK- including Blair on the far right who you may remember from photographs of her wedding last fall on the blog :)

For their grand exit, they made blue streamers and had a few little lanterns
