Hello everyone!

Merry (almost!) Christmas! This past weekend we photographed our final wedding of 2013, with Abby and Patrick at Rough River State Park in Kentucky. It has seriously been an incredible year, and we are SO thankful to each and every couple who trusted us to document the moments of their wedding days. So awesome. Abby and Patrick’s wedding was the perfect celebration to end the year! You may remember their engagement session in NYC, where they currently live, but they had their intimate state park wedding back home in Kentucky, where they both are from. They chose Rough River State Park for their outdoor ceremony, because it’s just so peaceful and beautiful! Not many people would have been brave enough for an outdoor ceremony in December; even though it was FREEZING, it was absolutely perfect! Their friends and family all gathered outside the lodge to see Abby and Patrick get married below, right at sunset. We have just loved getting to know these two, and had such an amazing time with them and their friends and family! So many sweet moments, topped off with an awesome party!

My favorite thing about this intimate wedding was how intentional they were, and that they weren’t afraid to go outside the box and prioritize the things that mattered to them (great photos, and fashion!).

Abby works in fashion, so of course her dress by KaufmanFranco was gorgeous, and the Jimmy Choos were to die for!

One of my favorite shots of the year! Fun fact: they later turned the tree from this image into a tattoo that they both got. What. Bad-ass.
