I spent Saturday with Ben and Staci as the celebrated their wedding day surrounded by close friends and family.  We met early at the wedding venue, The Lyric Theater in downtown Lexington, to document hair and makeup.  We left as the 1958 Bentley pulled away from the curb with the newlyweds in the backseat!  Needless to say, it was a day to remember and I was honored to play my part in that role as their photographer.  

A wedding in a restored theater provides some amazing photo opportunities.  They were able to do hair and makeup in a theater dressing room complete with lights and we took opportunity of the stage and theater seating to grab a few photos as well.  We had planned on using the outdoor courtyard area for the ceremony but the weather was not cooperative.  The ceremony was moved to an alternative location, an upstairs art gallery. I must admit, I liked the atmosphere.  It had the feeling of a metropolitan event in a larger metropolitan setting and I think the bride and groom enjoyed being the focus during their ceremony.  

I could go on longer about the day but I think I'll let the photos do the rest of the writing, that's actually what I prefer as a photographer.  Before I share those though, I want to share credit with all the vendors that made this day possible:
