Laurie and I have known each other since 5th grade! Laurie and her twin sister, Marie, were the new girls in school. I remember meeting them and thinking about how awesome it would be to have someone I was that close to... Then I got to know Laurie with Zach. I also got to know Marie with her husband, Tyler! I photographed Marie during her journey of building a family with her husband. Now I get to photograph Laurie at the very beginning of building her forever with Zach!
They've been together forever, and still we all felt the butterflies of this gorgeous wedding day in Lexington, Kentucky.
The wedding day is hosted at the Signature Club in Lexington. Years ago I became a Louisville based wedding photographer, so I love getting to come home to shoot weddings in Lexington.
There are so many fantastic photos of Laurie getting ready... and I couldn't choose between Black&White or Color, so I'll post them both...
Laurie & Zach opted to do a 'First Look' before their wedding. It was such a romantic moment... Normally, I'm traditional and prefer to wait for the ceremony. This wedding actually made me really love first looks, and the awesome photographic opportunity!
Before the ceremony began, we went into the reception area to see how everything came together.
A special surprise that Laurie had made for Zach, the soccer fan!
And now, the ceremony. I think everyone in attendance thought, 'Finally!'
