Lexington Garden Wedding | Kentucky Documentary Photographers
When we first started working with Megan & JD, we had no clue just how much we’d come to love them. And I’m not saying we thought they’d be hard to love or anything! We knew right off the bat that they were both wonderful. But over the course of the year we spent together (engagement photos, planning and documenting their wedding), we fell in LOVE with them!
These are two of the sweetest, most fun people we’ve ever met, and their entire wedding day was SO inspiring. The ceremony was at St. Peter Catholic Church in Lexington, but everything else took place at Megan’s Versailles family home… Which, I feel the need to mention was TOTALLY haunted. I still get chills when I think about the story Megan told us about coming home one day to find a wooden chair had been smashed through the glass oven door… And apparently things like that were just commonplace for them growing up (lol???). Look for the oil painting of the original owner of the home as you’re scrolling through these pics… crazy stuff.
Hauntings aside, the historic property was the most perfect backdrop for their massive wedding celebration. We took almost all their portraits in the garden that Megan’s mom Margie has been tending to for decades. Margie (who is a florist) also did all the arrangements and bouquets for the wedding. And ALL their siblings were in the wedding party, along with their many nieces and nephews. Truly felt like something straight out of a Nancy Meyers’ movie!
There’s so much more I could gush about when it comes to this amazing day… Like JD and the groomsmen stumbling upon a music video being filmed downtown and taking the funniest, most random photos… And of course, all the nods to their Lexington roots: stopping at Belle’s with their wedding party to get cocktails before the reception; a full Kentucky bourbon collection for guests to enjoy; Goodfella’s Pizza delivered as a late night snack alongside Graeter’s Ice Cream cart…
I mean I really could go on. But I will let the photos speak for themselves from here on out!
