Rainy weddings are special. It might be easy to think something along the lines of “um, no! please no!” but I think it refocuses couples on the best part of the day - that they’re getting married!

Some anxiety around the threat of rain is understandable though, which is why I cover it in my Bridal Guide. It’s basically a magazine full of inspiration from real weddings I’ve photographed and the best advice on how to help plan your wedding so that you get the best photos possible.

I joke that I’m part meteorologist. I have a nerdy/awesome app on my phone that gives moment by moment weather updates for my specific location so we can utilize even 5 minutes of break from the rain!

When I showed up to the venue, one of the first things that came up was that Kelsey knew I could get great photos with just one porch to work with and that we did!

Fun Facts

Kelsey and Andrew met at the University of Kentucky College of Pharmacy and both graduated last year!
They got engaged in Hawaii (yes really, Hawaii!)
They have an adorable dog named Blue (go Wildcats!) and I think he and our Hugo would make great friends :)
They’re honeymooning in Barbados!

Kelsey and Andrew are the kind of people that make you feel comfortable right away. They both have a genuine, unassuming warmth. Add on the fact that they both graduated from the UK School of Pharmacy? That makes them a power couple in my book!

In the Details

There were so many beautiful, thought-out details that it’s hard to pick favorites, but I must say their unity cross was a wonderful way to honor their coming together.

Also, can we pause to appreciate Kelsey’s train? Stunning!
