Western Ky Wedding Photographer | Tamara + Matt

Tamara and Matt had a beautiful, spunky wedding at First Baptist Church in Fredonia, Kentucky. From the excitement inside the church, you'd never know it rained most of the day.

Matt's dad was his best man. I am always so moved when grooms choose to do that.

Tamara and Matt had a sort of half first look where Matt was blindfolded (with a zebra print scarf, of course) so they could pray together before the ceremony. It was so sweet!

This one of Tamara looking at her dad as he said, "Her mother and I," chokes me up every time I see it!

Talk about a grand first kiss:

Josh captured this sweet moment between the two of them in the vestibule just after they'd walked down the aisle. It wasn't until editing that I noticed what the mischievous little ring bearer was doing! 

They really wanted their dog, Lexie, to be in the wedding, but settled for having someone bring her to the church after the ceremony so they could say goodbye and get a couple of pictures with her. I loved that Tamara was so excited to see her baby that she didn't even care about getting her dress dirty!

Paris TN Wedding Photographer | Rebekah + Dustin

I've been to a good number of weddings in my life, and I can truly say that I have rarely seen such a beautifully God-honoring event as Rebekah and Dustin's wedding. From Rebekah's dad (who officiated the wedding) giving Dustin a key that she had given her dad when she was 13 as a symbol of her purity, to their first ever kiss, to the beautiful blessing that her dad spoke over them at the end (the same one he spoke over all of his children at bedtime as they were growing up). I could hardly see through my tears to keep taking pictures after that! 

The worship continued into the reception as friends and family toasted the couple with affirmations of God's faithfulness in their lives and blessings for their future. To say that I was blessed and honored to be there would be an understatement.
