The wind was blowing, the sun was setting, and the kissing was sweet!

So romantic…Happy Wednesday!

Simple romance...

When the owners, Pip and Susan, asked us to photograph a real couple in the space, we were so happy to oblige!  Katie and Travis are one of our Monarch wedding couples and they enjoyed getting dressed up again for the session!

Check out the image music video below and double-click on images to see them at a larger size!

And a big congrats to Pip and Susan–your event space is SHEER PERFECTION!  Check them out on Facebook, too!

I promised them a quick sneak peek before they head off for their honeymoon in Mexico tomorrow, so here they are!  Congrats to Melanie and Ben!  Thanks for asking us to share in your special day!

All about details...

Melanie was just lovely!

Our handsome groom, Ben!

Beautiful bride!

Down the aisle with her sweet dad...

The church is amazing!

Melanie and her family--such a great group of people!

I love this image of Ben's grandmother during the ceremony...

A moment with The Blessed Mother...

Gorgeous!

Romance...

The cake was truly the centerpiece at The Olmsted.

Party time!

Ben's mom had a great time!

And Melanie's mom, Dottie, did as well! Congrats, everyone!

We have gotten to know owners Susan and Pip through a mutual friend, and we are thrilled to be a part of this wonderful new place to tie the knot, celebrate a big event, host a soiree, etc.!

Here is just a quick shot of Monarch couple, Katie and Travis, for some promotional work we did for Pip and Susan–it is gorgeous!  I will post more tomorrow!

And they are hosting an open house tomorrow evening from 6-9 p.m., so be sure to join us!

Congrats to The Marcus Lindsey!

Louisville's newest venue! Lovely!

They actually have TWO wedding anniversaries because they had a little ceremony first since Nick was active military and was headed overseas.  Once he got out of the military, though–the BIG official wedding and reception were held!  How fun to be able to celebrate your love twice?

They had a lovely wedding in March 2011 and we were honored to be a part of it.  They are an awesome couple and wish them many years of love, laughter, and married bliss!

Check out some of their wedding day images below–click on an image to see it larger!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, you crazy kids!  It was a great big party on your day!

Almost all of our collections come with this FABULOUS customized proof box and folio, as well as print credit to purchase great keepsakes like the gallery wrap canvas that Lindsey and David ordered!

Attention to detail, beautiful images, and incredible customer service–we love our clients and it SHOWS!

Happy Wednesday!

Silly me–I had kept the images all along and had just forgotten to download them. As I said before, though, we were in the middle of moving to our new home studio, so may I please use that as an excuse?

So, here are some more images of their BEAUTIFUL Italian hand-bound wedding album!  Lots of bling, beauty, and completely something to treasure for years and years!  And yes, we are still accepting 2012 wedding dates!  Happy Monday!

In my defense, we had just moved into our new home here in The Highlands and I probably forgot to snap some images of the fabulous album!

I wish everyone could see all of these albums in person!  They are hand-crafted in Italy and so beautiful.  I take the time to work with every couple, design the albums with THEIR CHOICE of images (no pre-designs done here) and then they choose from a multitude of lovely Italian covers–from silk shantung to leather.

Lindsey and David chose a beautiful black and white album design with a lot of bling!  You should see it in person–

And A BIG shout-out to Lindsey, who snapped some photos of her album FOR ME since I totally forgot to do it.

Thanks, Lindsey, for sending me these photos!

Beautiful front cover with acrylic image and gorgeous fabric!

Lovely page spreads...

Romance...

Lots of sparkle, too!

An album to truly treasure...

Congrats to ERIN AND STEVEN, who are tying the knot in downtown Louisville this coming October!

Thanks for choosing us to share in your big day!  We are honored!

Wedding season starts in April for us–we cannot wait!

STEPHANIE and BRIAN will be celebrating their big day this coming September and we are SO excited to be a part of their wonderful event!

Thank you to all of our Monarch wedding couples, past and future!  We adore you all!

Sincerely,

Rosemary  & Jonathan
