I was so excited for the wedding day of Kelly and Chris to arrive and a little anxious as well!
Until I walked into the beautiful Church in downtown Nicholasville, KY on labor day weekend I had never meet the bride or the groom.
This is unusual because I normally like to get to know my couples during their engagement session or over a cup of coffee before their wedding day.
My worries were quickly dissolved when I met the Bride carrying her wedding dress in the parking lot of the Church and I was welcomed like part of the family!
Before I met Chris I knew I would like him too … especially after I saw the huge bouquet of flowers and sweet note he had left for Kelly in the room she would be getting ready in!
Kelly’s Dad took over to help these guys get ready on time!
There was so much happiness surrounding Kelly by her Mom and Best Friend, Katie!
I have no idea what was so funny right before they walked down the aisle, but I could not help by giggle too!
Once the giggles were over my heart sighed over this father lost in his thoughts.
I have never hidden the fact that I love when couples decide to do a first glance!
This day was an exception ……… and I have no words for the look on Kelly’s face when she rounded the corner to walk down the aisle with her Dad …..
and when I turned around to see Chris’s expression… I got a little choked up!
Such a sweet moment stolen between this couple during the ceremony!
This is always my favorite moment of any wedding day …………….
Kelly was a stunning Bride!
Did I mention her name was Kelly??? =]
It was funny to share a first name with a bride because I kept thinking I was so popular because EVERYONE knew my name!
I believe every daughter should a portrait like this with their Dad ……
We cannot forget the Groom! He was looking especially handsome too!
This wedding party was so much fun and kept me on my toes! =]
The reception was held in the back yard of Kelly’s parents!
The large white tent made such an intimate setting for their family and close friends!
The date for this wedding was chosen around Kelly’s brother being deployed overseas. In a quick turn of events, he had to leave sooner than expected and his absence was greatly felt by everyone.
They put together a little ‘Hello’ to let him know how much he was missed on this special day!
I felt certain the minute I took these photos they would be some of my all time favorites!!
This light was so delicious!!
Congratulations to Kelly and Chris
