I have been struggling to come up with the words to tell Adam and Kim's story. Every wedding is so unique in its own way but not every wedding is so personal. Typically I have the chance to meet with a couple, discuss their wedding day and photograph their engagement session. However, Adam and Kim live about 6-7 hours away (depending on whether I drive or my husband drives). I've known Adam and his family for a very long time and a little over 2 years ago, I officially became a part of this self-proclaimed "crazy family" when I married Morgan, Adam's cousin. I only met Kim the day before their wedding but it just takes about a half second to realize how amazing, sweet,  and not to mention STUNNING she is. You can immediately see how Adam and Kim fit together. They laugh easily and love deeply... and I think they get it honest. Each detail of their wedding was thoughtfully chosen to represent not only their style but also their love for friends and family. They even chose family for a few of their vendors! Michael, Adam's brother in law, did an beautiful job officiating their ceremony and personalizing it to fit such a special couple. I was blessed to capture their amazing day and get to celebrate with ones I love! Mr. & Mrs. Bird - I'm humbled that you trusted me to capture one of the most important days of your lives... especially when it was at a winery ;)  I hope you both love these images as much as I do! 

HUGE thanks to Jade Spence for capturing the shot below!... She didn't realize she volunteered to help me :)

Meet Jade: super helpful volunteer second shooter and child whisperer extraordinaire!

Kim & Adam - thank you again for letting me be a part of your beautiful day. Now let's plan a big family trip!
Much love to you both and Jackson... and Boogie and MJ! -Jill

When I first met Stacey and Robert to chat about their wedding plans, I instantly knew we'd be a great match. I had a blast with them on their engagement session and couldn't wait to see what creative details Stacey incorporated into their fall wedding. It's obvious this couple just loves to have fun together- I mean their cake toppers were Gonzo and Camilla and their wedding vows included quotes from Kermit the Frog! You simply can't spend time with this couple and their family and friends without smiling. It was a perfect day for a fall wedding to celebrate this milestone in Stacey and Robert's love story. Thank you both for making me feel like family and letting me be a part of your special day! 

Stacey and Robert- I hope you guys are having a blast at Disney and can't wait to see fun pictures from your trip! You are both so genuine and fun and I can't wait to see what adventures await you. 

Much love,
Jill

We decided to add on a few extra days to our trip for a Kentucky wedding to give us time to visit with family and lose a little bit of money. This way my very first time at Keeneland and the day started out fairly dreary. The weather could not stop my excitement! I learned all about the different ways to bet on a horse and that "burgoo" = beef stew. Morgan (husband), Trent (brother in law), and I could not pick a winning horse to save our lives; I won a whopping $4 on a second place finish. Regardless of our empty wallets, I had an awesome time! Keeneland has such a beautiful track, gorgeous paddocks, and super friendly staff members. Next stop- hat shopping and the Derby!

CHEESE!!! These horses are apparently from London... ;)

To say I'm obsessed with this engagement session is an understatement. The High Museum of Art is an amazing place to get really unique images and this couple ROCKED it! Kelsey and Drew are such a super sweet, fun-loving couple and I had the best time just getting them to laugh... Apparently kindergarten-3rd grade humor works best for Drew. There was such an ease and comfort between these two and with their wedding almost 70 days away, they are not stressed or frazzled by the details. Instead they are focused on celebrating their love with family and friends. I cannot wait for December!! Kelsey and Drew- thank you guys for just being awesome. I hope you love these as much as I do! Enjoy!

Andrew and Lindsey are just about the sweetest people you could ever meet and I think I was pretty smitten with their sweet pup, Ellie. Although I'm also pretty sure that Ellie was way more interested in playing in the park than smiling for the camera. Either way, I definitely had a blast with these two and cannot wait for their wedding in April! Andrew and Lindsey - thank you so much for spending your evening with me and being just so awesome. Enjoy!
