Last weekend I was able to work with Christine and Tyler photographing their wedding day.  They worked diligently planning all the details and I had the opportunity to capture each one.  As usual with my wedding coverage, my friend and second shooter Steve worked with me to help with the work flow.  They are a great couple and we had a blast working together with them as well as the entire wedding party.  

Bride/Bridesmaids

I began the day with the Bride and Bridesmaid's at a local hotel here in Lexington, Ky capturing hair and makeup before they headed over the the church.  Their hair was done by a longtime family friend from Cincinnati and Christine's sister Catherine was in charge of makeup.  

Groom/Groomsmen

When your name is Ty Cobb and you work for the local minor league baseball team, The Lexington Legends, then it only makes sense to get ready at the ballpark.  That's exactly what the guys did and I had Steve meet them at Whitaker Ball Park to photograph them as they prepared for the wedding.  They took advantage of the location and made the most of the opportunity to have a little fun beforehand.

The Wedding

The wedding ceremony was held at Walnut Hill Presbyterian Church.  The historic church was built around 1800 with land donated by the family of Mary Todd Lincoln and provided the perfect backdrop for the afternoon.  We took advantage of the ample space for photos of the first look, portraits, and group photos before the wedding and then continued with the ceremony itself and the celebration that followed before heading off to the reception venue.  Friends and family all worked well braving the cool temperatures to create some lasting memories :

The Reception

Following the wedding, everyone made their way to Andover Country Club for the reception.  The theme was a Christmas wedding and the venue was decorated beautifully for the occasion.  The Christmas tree was full of lights and ornaments which also served as keepsakes for the guests to take with them as they left at the end of the night.  Tears were shed, laughter was plentiful, and a good time was had by all as the DJ kept the dance floor hopping all night long.   Congratulations to the Christine and Tyler on a wonderful day and may God bless you and your marriage!
