Red River Gorge Wedding: Matt & Becky

October 12, 2019

Callie’s Campground in Stanton, KY was the perfect backdrop for Matt and Becky’s wedding ceremony. There was so much to love about this day…the hilarious first look where Becky surprised Matt with a T-rex mask, the gorgeous mountains of the Red River Gorge in the background, the beauty of the lake, and a Bride and Groom that look like models. Oh, wait, did I mention that the reception got crashed by 30 something foreign exchange students?? It got a little crazy on the dance floor, but it was so much fun! Here’s a glimpse into Becky and Matt’s wedding photos…

Red River Gorge Wedding Photography: Brett and Megan

February 23, 2017

I loved Brett and Megan’s colorful outdoor wedding at the Cliffview Resort in Campton, Kentucky. Megan’s wedding dress really popped against the red cabin where she got ready, and her green shoes are among some of my favorites ever. It was a day full of happiness and lots of sweet moments, including a first look with Megan’s dad that might have left me a bit misty-eyed. The last few photos at the end are from Chimney Rock in the Red River Gorge, one of Brett and Megan’s favorite trails. There are so many more photos that I could include, but here are some of my favorites:

Red River Gorge Engagement Session: Andrew and Rebecca

February 11, 2017

Rebecca had me hooked at “outdoor vineyard wedding” in Winchester, KY when she came in for her in-person wedding consultation. But when she mentioned possibly doing their engagement photos in the Red River Gorge, I knew we were a perfect match. It honestly doesn’t get much better than getting to combine two things I love–photography and hiking–in one of my favorite places.

The day of the engagement session turned out pretty magical; not a unicorns-and-rainbows kind of magical, but a 50+ degrees-in-February-and-a- beautiful-sunny-day-when-the-forecast-called-for-mostly-cloudy-all-week kind of magical. So it was probably only magical to me.

We started with a few shots at the barn near the Gladie Center for a different look. Then we did a little hiking on the Angel Windows Trail and the Whistling Arch Trail. They’re both pretty short, easy hikes, and honestly, the most strenuous thing we encountered all day was probably the hill in the parking lot at the Gladie Center. If you’ve never done any hiking and you’re in the area, these are both great trails to start with, and be sure to check out Sky Bridge or Chimney Rock while you’re nearby. Oh, and Miguel’s Pizza…you haven’t really been to the Red River Gorge if you haven’t had pizza and an Ale8 at Miguel’s.

Here are a few of my favorite shots from the day…some of them might even be just a little magical.
