KISS ME

And your heart’s against my chest, your lips pressed to my neck
I’m falling for your eyes, but they don’t know me yet
And with a feeling I’ll forget, I’m in love now

~ Ed Sheeran

He couldn’t wait to see her come down the aisle. The most beautiful bride, Jeanie was. She sparkled in a mermaid style Lazaro gown and crystal laced cathedral length veil. Behind the scenes, she waited in anticipation with her dearest Mother, her most admired person in the world. Then, she smiled. Daniel waiting…. with the biggest smile.

Daniel is the kindest, sweetest man, with a big heart. His family and friends can attest to that.  Jeanie, shy but not always has indeed found her prince charming. Someone who will hold her hand and heart in good times and not so good times. He is good to her. And more.

Jeanie is beautiful, in her stilettos and Uggs. Fine silks and JCrew pajamas. Sparkly minis and skinny jeans. But, one thing’s for sure, she completes him. Mind, body, and heart. Completely. Yes, he is one lucky chap ; )

So much love.

Doug Smith Designs created Jeanie’s hand tied bouquet with blush pink and pale peach garden roses.

The girls sparkled in their fabulous heels by Christian Louboutin and Jimmy Choos. Can I have a pair?

Daniel looking oh-so dapper and handsome in his classic black tux and bow tie.

I love Jeanie’s one of a kind BHLDN back drape necklace. It has the perfect amount of delicate sparkle.

A quick stop at Shakespeare and Co. The coolest vintage hang-out in downtown, Lexington.

The fabulous Spindletop Hall. One of my dream venues to photograph. See my first POST here.

Classic and romantic. The wedding cake was DIVINE.

Jeanie and her niece, in a beautiful flower girl dress by PEGEEN.

Daniel’s “aquatic” grooms cake by Martine’s Pastries. Looks great and taste h-e-a-v-e-n-l-y. We had an extra slice : )

A Cinderella moment.

It is PROOF

that a pair of shoes can change your life.

One of THE best looking bridal party to date. Champagne and gold ensemble, perfect for an elegant, great Gatsby-ish affair. I had to pinch myself…

Special THANKS to Doug, Glenn and their crew for this gold and lace opulent and glamorous affair. You cannot go wrong with lots of flowers, candles and gold accents.

This is one of the many MOST BEAUTIFUL weddings I’ve ever photographed!

FINALLY! I’m able to share it with you and the world : )
You can see their wedding FEATURE and their love story in the January/ February 2016 edition of Bridal Guide Magazine, in stands now!
