This weekend’s wedding here in Louisville Kentucky was nothing short of spectacular. The church was amazing (photographers: the light was insane!…very warm and diffused), the bride and groom looked like they “stepped out of a J. Crew Magazine” (inside joke from the best man’s speech), and the food was amazing! Yes, I snagged a little [...]

Today we received our studio sample of our new Collages album. This 8X10 album comes with our “Rose” package, includes 10 spreads, and normally showcases 35-40 images.

The Horse And My Great God

This afternoon I was shoting a session in an open field [...]
