That’s right!  We want to continue the journey with our wedding couples and stay in touch, so we love gifting our couples with a portrait session every single year!  It can be family, pets, maternity, baby, etc.  and it is so much fun watching our couples grow with the families and new experience in their lives!

Today’s family is Natalie and Alan–The Smiths!  They were married back in 2008 and we loved being a part of their big day!  Then the BIG CHANGE!  Little Miss Savannah arrived a couple of years later!

Check out their progression below–love it!

So, come on–become a member of the Monarch Family.  We know you are special–and we treat you like you deserve to be treated–LIKE FAMILY!

SO, from the engagement until now–Here is the Smith Family!

Natalie and Alan's engagement session

We had a blast!

Their beautiful wedding day...

The newlyweds...

A couple of years later--Savannah arrived!

And Savannah grew some more!

And the latest portraits--SAVANNAH IS ONE YEAR OLD!

She was not a fan of that hate, for sure!

But she loved her balloons!

And some yummy birthday cake! Smith Family--we love ya!

Today, I wanted to feature part two of Melanie and Corey’s engagement session.  We shot the first part at UK (you can see that if you scroll down our posts) and NOW–their engagement portraits we photographed in lovely downtown Louisville!

Can’t wait for their wedding in late June! It will be wonderful!

Check out their music slide show and images below–have a great week!

SO cute!

Perfect sky for them...

Simplicity.

By the bridge...

Silly fun!

They are so good together!

The downtown view...

Melanie's dress was adorable!

Fun with textures.

Sweet.

Congrats to Melanie and Corey!

To celebrate their big success, I thought I would show off Melanie and Corey’s engagement portraits!  We had special permission a few months ago to do a part of their engagement session at the Joe Craft Center at UK and it was a blast!  Melanie and Corey are super-fun and are wonderful fans of the UK Basketball program, so I was so happy that we had a chance to get in there and shoot some portraits of this happy couple!

Tomorrow, I will feature their downtown Louisville engagement session part, but for now–GO CATS!

Check out their music image slide show and double-click on any image to see it larger–What a fun session!

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

If you got a gorgeous engagement ring for Christmas or New Year’s Eve, congratulations!  Now the wedding planning begins!  One of the best ways to see wedding service professionals in person is to come to a wedding show!

We only do one show a year, so we would love to see you there–

The Downtown Wedding Show is on Friday, January 6 starting at 5 p.m. at the International Convention Center in gorgeous Louisville!  The Cascade Ballroom is lovely and so spacious!

We are so excited to meet prospective wedding couples and chat about the big day!  We have so many albums, images, and products to show you!  We take great care in making our wedding couples very happy and we love what we do!

Here are details to the show–and it’s absolutely complimentary!  You don’t even have to pre-register unless you want to be a VIP!
