On July 24th I felt like one of the luckiest girls in the world.  Not only was it the most perfect summer day in my ‘old Kentucky home’…but I was honored to photograph the wedding of Cacey & John.  It was hands down one of my favorite days of the year.

Justin & I lived in Maysville, Kentucky, during our first year of marriage.  Not only does that town hold a special place in our hearts (and will always be our ‘other’ home), but the people we met there will continue to be some of our very best friends, forever.  One of those lovely people we became friends with was Cacey, we even actually worked together at the Miniatures Museum.

I can honestly say that Cacey has the most beautiful voice of anyone I know…she’s a trained opera singer.  Her love of music led her to meet the love of her life, John (*awesome* story about how they met below).  John is the Music Director and Conductor of the University of Kentucky Symphony Orchestra.  Their love for music, their family & friends, and each other were evident on their wedding day, and I pray I captured it for them to remember that day. Here are a few of my favorites.

A few details of the amazing Clarke home:

I *love* this car shot Justin (my second shooter/husband ;) captured…I think I may have to frame it.

These shoes are *very* special to the sweet couple.  While they were running the finale of Act II in La Boheme, Cacey’s character, Musetta, was throwing a hissy fit (as directed by the director, of course) and as she was kicking and screaming, her shoe flew off, hit the ceiling, landed on John’s head as he was conducting, then his music stand, and they had their first date the next night.  She had been flirting with him for weeks and he didn’t realize it till she hit him in the head with a shoe.  So cute!

Gorgeous couple!

Love this series:

You know I love when my couples want to do a big group shot!

This couple means the world to me…and I just couldn’t help but post these two images.  By the way, the image on the right completely captures Kaye (one of my Maysville Mommas!)

Ok, I have to stop now…I just browsed through and found more I would love to post…however, I will refrain.
Cacey & John, Thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to photograph such a wonderful day in your lives.  It was such an honor to spend the evening with you and your sweet family & friends.  Oh, and I’m so happy Paris was everything you thought it would be…and more :)
