Talk about tricky lighting! I was really wanting to get this shot and hold the details in both the shadows and the highlights, so I did a test or two as some of the wedding guests came in the door. I knew the white wedding dress would look cool, but I didn't know how the light would play exactly. Very dramatic entrance for those who turned to look!
One of the last shots I took at the wedding and glad I was able to hand hold the camera and still retain some detail in the shadow areas. This couple had surprises around every corner during their wedding and reception, which turned out to be great photo ops, like traditional Irish dancers and a sparkler exit!
This photo taken behind the Duncan Memorial Wedding Chapel in Crestwood, Kentucky. I could have worked with them at this location forever!!! There were so many nice little locations like this on the property, but unfortunately, schedule did not allow. I had to make the best of my time there to really do the location justice for my clients and a little pre-wedding day site survey did just that. I hardly every visit a new location for the first time on a wedding day unless it's too far away. And if distance is a factor, I really make sure that time is not, arriving with ample time for a site survey and really plan my photographs.

Absolutely beautiful!
Too pretty to eat, almost!
I just had to put this series together as one photo… So what if the “C†is backwards. The little boy was dancing up a storm with a little help from bridesmaid Mommy.
Incredibly pretty
I love this barnyard portrait. Great use of light.

There's something about those freckles! What a beautiful bride.
Before all is said and done, Steve will probably bring out the blue and green in this photo to make it a touch more vivid, but...oh, man. Is this not Gone With the Wind? So awesome. So romantic.
If this were my wedding photo, I would buy a poster-size print for the living room. Absolutely. Because that's what I want to see each day when I open the door and walk in through the door.
Beautiful.
Before the wedding

Thanks!
P.S.
Here's the photo story of Jamie & Lindsay's wedding day, the bride in the photo in our ad:
This couple is so awesome, Steve got out in the creek to get this photo. And look at that lighting! Brian and Gina are not just gorgeous and golden, it's like the two of them are walking on sunshine in this pic.
Steve shot this at Cherokee Park. It's one of his favorite spots, and yet, the photos are always different. I think it has to do with the lighting, the couple, the angles, the mood.
Anyway, I love this one. They're having a Christmas wedding.
You know, recently someone said he noticed Steve and I put a lot of photos of the two of us kissing on our website.
We kind of looked at one another.
"Of us?"
"Yeah, it was a couple of people kissing a lot..." said the man.
We realized that what he'd been seeing were engagement photos. And wedding photos. So, yeah, there are a lot of kissing photos on our pages!
But, sadly, none of them are of Steve and I kissing. Maybe we should put up some like that. We'd have to do it by remote control, I guess.
Anyway, if I could have a photo of Stephen and me to have on my desk at work, or hang on my wall at home, or carry in my wallet, I would have to say, it would be one like this. I love everything about this photo. These two people are in love.
Maybe that is why I post a lot of kissing photos on Steve's site. Some of them just really grab me, because of the emotion I see in them.
This is one of them.
Enjoy!

I'll see you...at the wedding!
Yep, it's on its way. Unbelievable in this 100 degree heat, but it really will be fall soon. This image has had no photoshop retouching. It was scanned in from a print of the original.
You can almost smell it.
Steve did this with Leslea's Sony pocket camera. No photoshop.
