Hard to believe that it is almost July! Where does the time go?? We have been working some super fantastic weddings lately and I wanted to show off our first wedding of 2010.
Brandi and Chris were so much fun to work with when planning their wedding, and in the process we became friends! Here are a few pics from their photographer. A full post will be up very soon!
I recently met Alan and Kristina at the ACE Weekly “Best of Lex” celebration and I was more than impressed! Alan made everyone feel like a movie star while working the red carpet and Kristina captured all of the moments of the evening. I love their style and their personalities – totally important when choosing your wedding photography.

I always love the very first wedding of the season! Something about having the first wedding of the year under my belt gets me geared up and ready for the year. 
Anne and Chris came to me a while ago. I have loved getting to know them and seeing how special their relationship is. Although Chris had little to do when it came to the design and details, it was obvious he just wanted to make Anne happy. I just adore when a groom gets it.
Anne is such a beautiful bride and it helped that all of her bridesmaids were just as beautiful. The pictures are gorgous, the venue was great and the weather was absolutely perfect!
I will have the photo gallery up soon. Until then here are a few pics for you. Taken by the fabulous Frank Becker/The Time Photography.
WOW! I recently had the pleasure of visiting The Brown Hotel in Louisville, KY and all I can think of is WOW! OK – so you know I have much more to say than that.
Jeri Stewart, Catering Manager, called me a few weeks ago and we finally were able to get together for lunch and a site tour. What a treat she is! She is so fun and energetic- I am looking forward to working with her and hopefully soon. We had lunch at the J. Graham’s Cafe, home of the legendary KY Hot Brown! It was oh so YUMMY! We even treated ourselves to dessert and because I am on a bread pudding kick lately, I just had to try theirs. It passed my test with flying colors!!
After lunch I got the grand tour. The meeting and event rooms are nice and have an even better view of the city and river. The treat of the tour was the Crystal Ballroom!! This picture does not even do it justice. This room is breathtaking to say the least. Imagine your fabulous wedding, social event or corporate awards ceremony in this amazing ballroom! I could go on and on…
Next are the guestrooms and suites. While this hotel has some amazing history – it has been kept up very nicely. The guestrooms are spacious and full of luxury amenities, the suites are even more impressive!
I can totally see my and my honey spending a night or two at this stunning hotel enjoying the amazing service, yummy food and the atmosphere of elegance. Impressed!!
I just have to add The Brown Hotel to my Love-it file!! You simply must check it out for yourself.
