Lindsay + Tim { Wedding }

I had the recent pleasure of photographing Lindsay & Tim Finley's beautiful May 21st wedding.  I have known Lindsay since middle school, and have always thought she was such a beautiful person, through and through.  Her and Tim's happiness radiates through each photograph.  Both of them love music and Lindsay teaches music at an elementary school in KY.  She had a timeless dress, so elegant and sophisticated, complete with many details.  The wedding itself had amazing details and a personal touch that contributed to the overall feel of Tim and Lindsay's relationship.  One of my favorite moments from the wedding was when they sang together during the ceremony! Breathtaking! Ok, ok, I am going to stop rattling on about it, and show some pictures!  Pictures always speak louder than words! I hope you enjoy!
I thought the detail on her dress was amazing!


This is such a gorgeous church- glorious windows and woodwork!   I thought it complemented her dress well!

Tim is waiting for Lindsay to arrive for their "first look."

This stunning piano caught everyone's attention, especially the groom!   

First look moment-Showing off the dress-which the groom had not yet seen!

Serenading his bride!



Lindsay is re-arranging his flower :)


This makes my one of my faves :)

And this one!







Gotta love the older buildings in Elkton!  Another fave :)



I love the detail in the front of her dress as well!

So pretty!








Love the detail on the back of her dress also!


Gorgeous flowers!



I love ring shots!


This is a shot that has occurred in several generations! Bride and Mom :)


And they're off!  Love the bubbles!


Until next time, take care!

Part 1 of Catching Up-Tulips!


Woohoo!  I survived April-by far the busiest month of the year for me so far!  To keep my sanity, I did what I love and took a lot of pictures when I could!  I am just now getting time to really go through them and "dissect" them so to speak.  My first post is going to include Tulips! I have been obsessed with them this year...This desire stemmed from my interest in Cheekwood Botanical Gardens last year, during the time of year when their Tulip Garden was in bloom.  I made a point to remember-next year, photograph Tulips, which I had never attempted, or oddly enough, not even given attention to.  My ultimate goal was to drive to Cheekwood and take some photos of their beautiful Spring flowers and Tulips, however, life got in the way :)  I drove around my surrounding areas/towns and found some beautiful Tulips in Russellville Kentucky's town square.  And of course, I had to buy some of my own Tulips from Kroger!  I have always thought Tulips were not "fun" to photograph, because they were so plain.  I challenged myself to think of the Tulip as not just plain, and attempted to try to create something very elegant and timeless.  I still wanted to keep them simple, as they are, but as you will catch me saying, in my teaching job as well, "take something ordinary, natural, and common, and create something entirely new, extraordinary, and unique."  I hope you enjoy them, as I did.  A gorgeous piece of nature, something I hadn't taken the time to notice, has taken my breath away. I am a little sad that most of them have faded now, but I definitely will plan to photograph them from now on!



I love the deep violet color of these Tulips!  These I found while driving, pulled over, and took the picture!


I love the color on this one as well!  

I tried to photograph more than one flower at a time!  

I really like how the sunlight was shining through!


Different view :)




This is one of my all time favorite photos, I love how this Tulip caught droppings from the flowering trees, and was partially open, as if to show what it had caught!

This one begins the Tulips that I bought from Kroger.  It hadn't opened all the way just yet.





This one I laid in the bird bath to add some water and reflection...

Not much left of this one, but still simple and interesting...

I hope you enjoyed these.  I plan on redecorating parts of my house using some of these photos as inspiration, and wall decor.  I will be posting another blog soon, hence the title, "Catching Up, Part 1." Until next time, take care!
