For the last day of Vendor Spotlight week I just couldn’t narrow it down to one person or place! We really are so blessed with all the people we have met, especially in the last year. So, here’s a short list of other vendors you should check out! Some of these are people/places we have actually worked with, and some are people or run by people we have met and loved!

Places:

First we have Talon Winery and Vineyard in Lexington, Ky, where we shot Allie and Ian’s wedding!

Next up is the beautiful Indian Hills Country Club in Bowling Green, Ky, where Lindsay+Gerrit’s reception was held. The girls also got ready there, and it was just so fantastic. Super classy, and the staff was super attentive and helpful all day. (If you haven’t guessed…customer service is one of my favorite qualities in a business…and Indian Hills definitely gets an A+!)

And next is CJ’s Off the Square in Franklin, TN! Their event specialists, CJ and Amy, are absolutely wonderful. I met them at a workshop in Franklin back in the fall, and have heard tons about their venue since then! They are also have a winter open house on Saturday, February 27, which you can learn more about here. So fun!

Bridal Boutiques and Salons:

The Couture Closet in La Grange, Ky (near Louisville!) is a super cute boutique, and a fabulous experience! This is actually where I got my dress (Pictured, dress by Melissa Sweet, photo by Krystal from Mint and Sage). Couture Closet is a “blend of an upscale New York style boutique with the charm of Southern hospitality.” Owners Lauren and Tera are there to help you find your dream dress, and treat you like a princess during your dress shopping experience They also have several trunk shows coming up, so check out their website for more info!

b.Hughes Bridal and formal in Nashville, TN is THE premiere bridal salon of the area! They are also the exclusive source for such jaw dropping designers as Badgley Mischka, Vera Wang, Romona Keveza Couture, Romona Keveza Legends Collection, and Oscar de la Renta. How awesome is that?! They also carry an incredible selection of bridesmaids dresses. While I haven’t set foot in b.Hughes Bridal myself (yet!), I have met one of the owners, the fabulous Karen! And if her bridal consultants are anything like she is, you are in for a real treat and the time of your life

So…those are just a few of our other favorite people You can also visit our People We Love page (found at the bottom of the blog) to see more of our favorite vendors. We try to keep this updated whenever we meet new vendors that we want to share with you all. Also, if you all have worked with some FABULOUS vendors, feel free to pass on their info! We always love to meet new people

I first met Allie when I was in high school, and we ended up in the same cabin together at Aldersgate. Well, that also happens to be where Allie met Ian (a different year) at canoe camp. The way the story goes (or so I’ve heard!), is that Allie had her eye on Ian, and after several nights of sleeping on rocks with her friend Emily (which they later found out the boys had been placing under their tent every night), they finally began to “talk.” Several years later, I got to work with both Allie and Ian at the same camp…and I just have to say that they have always been such a blessing to everyone around them I love their wonderful, adventurous spirits! They are now living in Wyoming, which I can only imagine is incredible!

But enough with the chatter…on to some images! I had an incredibly hard time narrowing these down for a blog post, so I hope you enjoy!

Allie and her bridesmaids got ready in the Bridal Suite at Talon. Talon is such an incredible venue! It pretty much has everything you could need…from getting ready to ceremony sites to reception areas

Of course I always love a good shoe shot!

So gorgeous

I am in love with this series Allie and Ian chose to see each other before the ceremony so we would have more time for some beautiful, natural light photos. Whenever we do this, we do a First Look for our bride and groom so they have a few minutes to themselves before the day gets crazy. We also are still able to capture the reactions as they see each other for the first time on their wedding day. These are always some of my favorite images!

The weather made for some incredible dramatic skies!

FAVORITE!

So fun This shot was actually Ian’s idea, and I love the way it turned out!

I love this shot of Allie and her father about to walk down the aisle, so precious! Allie and Ian had planned for their ceremony to be out under one of the gazebos. But October 17 ended up dawning very unseasonally cold and windy, so they moved to a tent over the patio of the barn. It was gorgeous!

Fabulous capture by my husband Chris Creed!

The decorations for the reception were fabulous! In love with those paper lanterns…

Yay, so fun! Allie and Ian, thank you so much for choosing us to be part of your WONDERFUL wedding day! Best of luck and many adventures to you in Wyoming Friends and family can go here and request the password to view Allie and Ian’s proof gallery and purchase prints

Hope you all enjoy! Feel free to leave some blog love for the bride and groom, and check back later this week for some images from Courtney and Clayton’s Illinois wedding!

Here are some of my favorites!

(Look closely and you can see some of the cicadas in this one!)

Artsy fartsy, I love it!

Love her ring!

Congratulations on being a senior Kacey, I can’t wait to see where God leads you in the next few years!
