rosemary & clay's wedding; kentucky wedding photographer

clay, rose & i were all art majors at western together. rosie was my roomie our last semester... they are some of my favorite peops. this day has been in the works for many, many years & i think everyone that knows them believes they're perfect together!

they were married on rose's aunt's property outside of frankfort ky. it was gorgeous! it'd been a rainy week but we got beautiful skies for their big day!

they posted signs so we wouldn't get lost... i still got lost :)~



they chose to have a quaker ceremony & here they're preparing clay's family with the details.


this was the backup location for the wedding in case we didn't get the blue skies... isn't it gorgeous? i threatened to stay forever.


they made all of the beautiful decorations themselves or had close friends help.


her gorgeous dress.


isn't she beautiful?!


the parents walking them to their ceremony...


i love the anticipation on their faces.


rose asked that everyone pick a wildflower & that became her bouquet!


everyone sat around them in a circle. that pile of ruble became the bonfire later that night!


smoochies.


they made their rings out of quarters... crazy huh? very romantic.


a lil footsie!


brad & adrienne made their beautiful marriage certificate. everything was incredibly unique!


friends & family were allowed to speak during the ceremony & say whatever they were moved to say. it was seriously, the most beautiful, heartfelt ceremony i'd ever been to. everyone cried as they told why they loved them, why they're so happy they're together, etc. here is rose's brother sharing his story.


more fabulous art peops.




this is a hickory stick. they're supposed to carve an image onto it for their wedding & then anytime a milestone comes they're supposed to carve another one. how cool is that?
