Our first attempt at engagement photos with Austin and Geneva at Keeneland in Lexington, KY ended almost as quickly as it began. It wasn’t supposed to rain, but rain it did. We did manage to get in a few photos before it started to pour, but we got back together a couple weeks later and shot around downtown Lexington to finish up their session. Luckily this time we had a gorgeous spring day to finish up Austin and Geneva’s engagement photos. Here are a few of my favorites.
Let’s start with this…I am really terrible about updating my website…like REALLY terrible. It just takes so much time. If you want to see my latest work, you should definitely be following me on Facebook or Instagram.
Now that that’s out of the way, let’s talk about Charlie and Sarah’s Lexington, KY engagement session at Keeneland. It was really important to them to incorporate their faith into the session, and I think we nailed that. I love that they also wanted to incorporate quilts from their grandmothers. Speaking of things I love, I love Charlie’s huge smile when he looks at Sarah. They are such a sweet couple, and it has been so fun to get to know them. Here are some favorites from their session.
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.
