One thing I have neglected to mention is that Mallory and Kyle decided on a photographer that I simply adore! All of these amazing images are from a dear friend of mine, Shaun Ring.
Shaun and I grew up together in Mt. Sterling and I have several fond memories of us in High School.
A note to Shaun – I cherish that we are both doing what we love, and I am honored to be in the same industry as you. Not only are you an amazing photographer but you are a dear friend. I will never let you forget the songs you wrote in high school 
, the time my car overheated in Winchester (when we HAD to get ice cream) and the countless times you played the guitar on my patio. Those memories always bring a smile to my face!
Ok- so now you have seen some of the fantastic details from Mallory’s wedding. Isn’t she BEAUTIFUL! Mallory now lives in Shelbyville with her new husband. If you are getting married in the Louisville area – she would love the opportunity to chat with you about your upcoming wedding. Schedule your complimentary consultation today!
Since this was an Always Planned wedding – in it’s truest sense. I thought it was only fitting to show some fun pics of the AP team! Enjoy!

I met Mallory last spring when she contacted me for the internship position at Always Planned. I knew instantly that we would be great friends – maybe because her interview lasted over 4 HOURS!
When she told me she was going to marry her high school sweetheart on her family farm my, heart skipped a beat. Although I am a total and complete girly girl, I must admit that I grew up on a farm in Mt. Sterling.
Since Mallory has been working with some of the best vendors in Lexington, she knew exactly what she wanted and I must say she got it right. The perfect photographer – Shaun Ring Photography, cake -Tinker’s, venues – Family Farm and Blue Licks State Park and of course the wedding planner – Always Planned!
Her day was flawless – as we could not be happier for the new Mr. and Mrs. Kyle Harmon! Since there were so many details – you will have to come back in a day or so to get the rest of the story. Until then, here is part 1 of her day. Enjoy!

Mallory just got married on May 23, 2009 and WOW! You can imagine how much fun it was to plan her wedding. She is so beautiful and her wedding day was perfect. We will have pictures up very soon.
1. Where are you from/background: I grew up in the small town of Carlisle, KY. Nobody really knows where that is and you wouldn’t because it is very, very small. I don’t plan on ever moving back there, but I have definitely come to respect it and proud to say that is where I grew up.. My whole family is there, so I visit very frequently. I then moved to Morehead for four years while I went school and I absolutely love that town and miss it very much. After I graduated last May, I moved to Lexington and will now be moving to Louisville next month.
2. What is your favorite …. place to shop, food, drink, etc..: I have been on a J. Crew kick here lately… I pretty much love all food. If I could eat all of the time I would, but my favorite meal is scalded lettuce, mashed potatoes, bacon, and cottage cheese with some sweet tea. I love good ol’ country cooking. My favorite drink is Cherry Coke, Dr. Pepper or Barque’s Red Cream Soda.
3. When did you start with Always Planned: May 2008!! A whole year!!
4. How did you meet Rayna: Well… one night it finally hit me that I was fixing to graduate and head out into the real world and needed to decide what I was going to do. I always had this idea that I wanted to be an event coordinator or wedding planner, so I googled wedding planners in Lexington, KY and up popped the Always Planned website. So, I started reading about Rayna and she had grew up in Mt. Sterling, not far from me.. Something about all of this gave me a good feeling, so I emailed her. She called me and told me I could do an internship and we planned to meet. We met, the interview lasted for over four hours, I hopped in her car and went to Garden Ridge and on a bridal consult, and she hired me…. as an intern. However, that didn’t last long. The next thing I knew I had my own wedding and business cards and have been around ever since. Now, she’s one of my best friends.
5. What is your specialty at events/weddings: Sometimes, I am the realistic one of the bunch. I think about codes and laws and what we really CAN do compared to what we THINK we can do.
6. Favorite part of weddings? The bride walking down the aisle and the look on the groom’s face. I cry every time.
7. Most memorable wedding? My most memorable wedding was probably Megan and Dave’s… it was definitely a learning experience, but turned out beautifully.
8. Best part of Team AP? We all are happy working together. Our job is fun, but gets very stressful, but we have such a great team that no matter how stressed we are, we get through it together and just laugh together about it… because as some points… all you can do is laugh.
9. Where do you fit in in the Future of AP? I am here all the way. I hope to get the Louisville branch started as soon as I officially get up there in June and settled in and then hopefully move back to Lexington in a few years and continue to work taking over the world with Rayna and the whole gang.
