Lauren and Jeremy were filled with joy the entire wedding day and it just exuded from them and their guests. Everything was gorgeous on this hot and humid June day. Worth a little sweat for great photos!! Their ceremony and reception was held at Arlington Country Club in Richmond, KY.

When Lauren showed me her invitation, I fell in love!! Classic calligraphy invitation by hand- Who does this anymore?? Just stunning and fit perfectly with Lauren's classic style.

Bria and Jimmy are getting married this fall in Louisville. They have been dating several years and actually met in high school. Jimmy still wears proudly his Trinity Football Championship ring on his keychain :) Such a sweet couple and Ana Crane-Simpson did a beautiful job with Bria's hair and makeup.

Post 2 of 2 from Melissa and Abe's wedding. Wedding planning, event design, and beautiful florals by Lauren Chitwood Events. Their reception was at The Gillespie downtown Louisville. There were several Arab traditions at the reception. They had a DJ and then a separate Arab music group that would alternate songs. I had never photographed an Arab reception before and it was really neat to see all the traditions take place. See below :)
