Lindsey & Alec are getting married in April, so we had to do their engagements pretty soon after she booked with me in December. So, while I was in Louisville for a wedding at the beginning of January, I met up with them at Cherokee Park. It was a gorgeous day and not too cold! That’s easy for me to say since I was bundled up! But they were troupers and we had fun!
You two were great! I can’t wait for the big day in April!
I’ve known Sarah since she was a freshman in college at Murray State. She was the sweetest thing I’d ever met! She decided after one year at MSU that it wasn’t the college for her (It’s ok Sarah–I won’t hold it against you!) so she transferred to WKU and met Sean. I kept up with her through Facebook and about a year ago, she contacted to tell me she was engaged and wanted me to shoot her wedding.
I’m not sure that I’ve even seen a couple smile so much on their wedding day! I’m sure Sean’s face had to hurt by the end of the night from smiling so much. He was so giddy to see her walk down the aisle…and once he set eyes on her, I don’t think he ever took them off. It was so sweet to watch them interact throughout the day.
Sarah’s family are huge Auburn fans. The only request her dad had the entire day was to pin these tails on and get a few photos before they walked down the aisle.
See what I mean…smiles all day!
I loved his cake! Sarah surprised him with this huge cheeseburger and fries. The bun and fries were all cake!
I think it took three tries for him to throw the garter. The first attempt hit Sarah right in the face!
Congrats Mr. & Mrs. Shannon! I’m so honored to be a part of your day! I know you will have a joyful marriage!

Thank you, Makenzie for capturing Sean & Sarah’s day so perfectly! You did an amazing job.
I love this couple! I have gotten to spend a lot of time with Philip and Emily over the past few years while I’ve shot their engagements, wedding, and now for the preparation of their new baby girl! I’m so honored to be capturing these big and special times in their lives.
Philip proposed to Emily on this bench!
Philip and Emily, Thank you for letting me play a small part in these big moments! I know you will be amazing and fun parents. Lucy will be a blessed girl! I can’t wait to meet her!

This was my second wedding to shoot in Lovett Auditorium on Murray State’s campus. I’ve known Blair’s twin brothers for a long time, but never really knew Blair very well. Then in 2010, our church took a team to Nicaragua and I got to spend the whole week getting to know Blair. She had just met Kip before we left, so the entire week we traveled we picked on her about the new man in her life. Little did we know that he was THE one! I was so excited when Blair asked me to shoot their wedding. I knew no matter what dress she wore, what colors were picked, which theme was chosen…she would make a gorgeous bride! And, I was right! Spending the day with them and their families was a privilege and I’m so glad I had the opportunity to do so!
In all my years as a student and resident of Murray, I’ve never realized that the chairs in Lovett had an “M” on them. How fitting since their last name is Mathis!
The date on her dress was her something blue. Such a neat idea!
I love this photo that my husband caught of her twin brothers!
Congrats Mr. & Mrs. Mathis! Thank you for letting me be a part of your special day!

This was a fun shoot! I bet you wouldn’t even guess that we took these in December, huh?!? It turned out to be a great day for Lauren & Adam’s pics! These two have been together for a long time. Lauren just graduated from Murray State and Adam is in the Army. They met on MSU’s campus during Lauren’s very first semester. So, it’s about time for a wedding!
Shhh…don’t tell! We found this bike just sitting on campus, so we “borrowed” it for a few pics!
Lauren & Adam actually met in the library. She was studying with her roommate at a table. Adam’s friend wanted to go hit on Lauren’s roommate, so he made Adam come with him. So, while their two friends chatted, Adam and Lauren hit it off! As they told me this story, I decided we had to do some in the library since that’s where it all began!
