Waterfront Botanical Gardens Wedding in Louisville, KY

It rained most of the day, but they didn’t care and neither did I. There’s something about rain breaking the heat (August was a hot one this year) that gets my creative juices flowing. It was just an honor to capture this day & I’m so lucky to have witnessed it!

A few of my favorite things from their day . . .

~ all the COLOR. Suzannah said that since they already had their micro wedding (check that out here) which was more traditional, they decided to go all out with a colorful, fun, vintage 70s theme for their big celebration.
~ the cute haikus the couple wrote to each other to renew their vows
~ Suzannah had her dogs with her while she got ready!!
~ the fog & bubble machines
~ the flowers (Bailey @bloomedrootsdid a lovely job!)
~ donuts and vegan gluten free cake by @rawnaissance
~ when the bride’s dress tore halfway through the day, she had a backup dress! She wasn’t going to wear it till the end of the night, but it worked out perfectly
~ I played around with a honeycomb flash for their reception photos to go with their vintage theme, and I love how they turned out.

A huge shout out to the rest of the vendors, who were great to work with!
