Mary Beth & Brad's Wedding

First off, even though I'm a day late, I'd like to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving weekend!

Secondly, I'd like to post some favorites from Mary Beth & Brad's rehearsal and wedding that took place on the weekend of October 24th. The wedding took place at the First Presbyterian Church in Pikeville, KY. (This blog will be a little different than some of my previous posts.) I asked Mary Beth to give me some input on her favorite images from the day. (I added a few of my favorites to the mix as well.)

Look at these happy expressions! I love you can look on a couple's faces and see joy!

After the rehearsal everyone moved to the Hampton Inn for the rehearsal dinner.

I think her dress was absolutely beautiful! When we met each other to go over details for the wedding she brought a picture of it to show me and I fell in love with it then!

This one was my absolute favorite of Mary Beth's individual portraits!

Here's the lovely bride and a few of her bridesmaids.

Here are some favorites from Brad's individual portraits!

And of course no wedding is complete without some couple shots. Right?

This was a very pretty church. I'm so glad the weather was good for outdoor portraits!

This was a favorite of mine!

Funny Side story: As I was taking this series of portraits, I took my camera off of the tripod for some handheld shots. As I turned back around to put the camera back on the tripod, I ran face first into it. If you know me well, it will not surprise you when I say that I busted my lip and there was blood everywhere. However, the show must go on and we finished up the session busted lip and all. I'm sure Brad & Mary Beth were completely distracted by my early Halloween-like appearance while finishing up these shots..lol What was Jeremy doing? Laughing at me for being clumsy as usual. He did find me a napkin though! Anyways, these turned out to be some of my favorite shots from the day. I love stained glass windows, inside and out!

Ok, and this one three!

I really liked this one as well.

I really liked their cake. I'm a huge fan of monogram type toppers!

I liked this one of her wedding favors, so I'll throw it in the mix for the blog too :)

Here they are at the reception. I like this picture of the garter removal an awful lot!

After the reception was over we went outside to get a few final shots before the happy couple drove off into the sunset. This is a top five favorite of mine from the entire day!

Thanks for allowing me to be a part of your special day!

Attention Brad & Mary Beth fans! If you like what you see here let Mary Beth and Brad know! If they get 25 comments from different people about this blog they'll get his and hers set of keychains with their favorite image from the day to carry around with them. Make sure you leave your name along with the comment so that they will know who loves them!

(I'd also like to thank the two of you for taking time to focus on the couple pictures that day!) *Usually, for some strange reason couples don't get much time to take pictures alone together on their wedding day, because they have so many other responsibilities and things on the agenda for that day. Mary Beth and Brad decided to see each other prior to the ceremony for a private photo session and then took time to go outside with me after the reception. I'm so glad they made this decision!
