Sean + Lindsay + Baby | A Super 8mm Maternity Film

Deanna Kaye — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 00:56:31 +0000

Sean is Deanna’s brother. He and his wife Lindsay gave birth to an adorable baby girl Norah Jane, last Easter. Since we had never gotten around to blogging their Super 8mm maternity film, I figured now was as good of a time as any since we’re closing in on her birthday!

Matt + Nicole | Super 8mm Wedding at Wildwood Inn, Denton,TX

Deanna Kaye — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 00:26:39 +0000

When Matt and Nicole asked us to film their wedding with Super 8mm film, we were stoked! There was a tiny issue however. Their Super 8mm wedding was taking place at Wildwood Inn located in Denton Texas, and we were photographing a wedding here in Louisville the day before! We finished up our wedding here late Saturday night, went home to pack up, and headed to the airport for our 7 a.m. flight. We landed in Dallas at 9:30 a.m., grabbed lunch, dropped our luggage off, got cleaned up and ready to head to to the wedding. At this point we’ve been awake for close to 30 hours! But, we caught our 2nd (or 4th) wind and were ready to rock.

Their intimate wedding was an absolute blast to film! While I was filming with Super 8mm, wedding photographer George Dean made sure I got my shot and was a fantastic guy to work with!

Enjoy!

Rebecca + Adam | Lexington Engagement Photography {Glover’s Bookery + Gratz Park}

We have been super excited about Rebecca and Adam’s Lexington engagement session ever since we first met her at the beginning of the year. She mentioned to us that she and Adam love to read, so obviously we had to incorporate that into their session! Rebecca found an awesome rare and out-of-print bookstore in Lexington called Glover’s Bookery, which made the absolute perfect setting for the first half of their session. We absolutely loved all the old stacks of books in this charming old two-story home in Lexington.

After spending some time at Glover’s Bookery, we headed down to Gratz Park in Lexington. Rebecca and Adam brought their adorable dog to be in a few photos with them as they sat on a blanket with a stack of books to read together. Rebecca found a couple of old Alice in Wonderland books at Glover’s, which was PERFECT since that’s the theme for the wedding next fall! It was the perfect way further personalize their awesome session!

Enjoy a few favorites from their book-themed session!!

Jen + Jordan | Louisville Engagement Photography {Central Park + Garage Bar}

Deanna Kaye — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 02:32:56 +0000

Because Jen and Jordan live in California, we hadn’t had the pleasure of meeting this fabulous couple until they were in Louisville recently for their engagement session. These two both work in creative fields, so we got along perfectly :) We started out at Central Park in Louisville, then headed down to Garage Bar on Market Street… an awesome new place to hang out, and the perfect location for Jen and Jordan’s engagement portraits. We had a perfect fall day for photographing, complete with beautiful colorful leaves on the trees.

Jen and Jordan are getting married here in Louisville in the Spring, and we cannot wait! These two are absolutely wonderful, and simply adorable together. Enjoy a few of our favorite photos from their engagement session!

Kathryn + Chris | Somerset Wedding Photography {The Barn at Redgate}

Deanna Kaye — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 17:40:20 +0000

Kathryn and Chris are awesome. We didn’t get the chance to actually meet them until the night before the wedding, but we could tell immediately that these two were all about having fun! It was an incredibly hot day, but this couple and their bridal party were not going to let that stop them from enjoying the day and celebrating properly :) They had a gorgeous wedding in Kathryn’s hometown of Somerset, Kentucky. After a lovely ceremony in her home church, everyone headed over to the Barn at Redgate, which was the perfect venue for their reception… a massive tent housed lots of tables, a bar, and the dance floor for all the guests to enjoy the evening, and when anyone wanted to escape the heat for a bit, they could head into the air conditioned ‘barn’ where the food and cake were. I absolutely loved all of their decor… four huge balls of white roses hung from the ceiling of the tent over the dance floor, and the tables were adorned with tall topiaries and lanterns surrounded by a mixture of beautiful white and pink flowers. And, it’s always great to see the guests dancing all night long!

Enjoy a few of our favorite images from the day!! Congratulations, Kathryn and Chris!! :)

It wouldn’t be a real blog post without a few film images… Enjoy! :)

Megan + Aaron | Louisville Wedding Photographers {the Marriott Downtown}

Deanna Kaye — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 22:18:17 +0000

How many times can I begin a post with how much we adore a couple http://www.marriottlouisville.com/://www.marriottlouisville.com/ you begin wondering if it’s really true? I’ll go ahead and clear it up for you… if I say it, I mean it… and we (as Louisville Wedding Photographers)seriously have been consistently blessed with having the most incredibly wonderful couples to work with!! Megan and Aaron are no exception; we love them! We knew that we would enjoy working with these two from the very first time we met. It was simply obvious how in love they are with each other, how pleasant they are to chat with, how fun they are to spend time with, and how much they will cherish having fabulous photos of their wedding. That pretty much sums up our favorite type of couples to work with :)

Megan and Aaron had a small but beautiful celebration at the Louisville Marriott Downtown. Guests enjoyed a simple and sweet ceremony and a lively evening of dinner and dancing. Enjoy a few of our favorites from the day!

Congratulations to Megan and Aaron… We are so excited for you and so thankful that you asked us to share in such a special day with you!!

And, of course, I must share a sampling of the best 35mm film images from the day!

Andrea + Kennon | Louisville Wedding Photographers {Wildwood Country Club}

Deanna Kaye — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 03:17:23 +0000

Andrea and Kennon are one of those couples who you can’t help but love being around. Full of smiles and always laughing and having fun, these two have been a joy to work with over the past year! On the wedding day, I noticed immediately that every time Andrea heard my camera click, she’d look straight at me with a huge smile across her face… I couldn’t help but smile back every single time and take one more photo :)

As I followed Andrea and the girls around while they prepped for the big day, Eric hung out with Kennon and the guys as they spent the morning fishing. I love the fact that we are each able to photograph separate parts of the day when we need to; it’s so great for our brides and grooms to be able to look at their wedding photos and see how the other spent their time anxiously awaiting and prepping for their wedding. The little moments matter in the story just as much as the big ones!

Enjoy a few of our favorite images from Andrea and Kennon’s gorgeous day!

Marty + Matt | Louisville Engagement Portraits {Downtown + Locust Grove}

Deanna Kaye — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 01:02:06 +0000

Anyone that lives in the Ohio Valley area is well aware of the fact that we might as well have been in Seattle this Spring… It rained CONSTANTLY. We have never had to reschedule so many sessions due to the rain before. Marty and Matt’s session took about 6 tries before we finally got a beautiful day to shoot. It was worth the wait though… these two were simply amazing to photograph, and such a joy to get to know in the process! We began their Louisville Engagement Portraits session in downtown, and finished it off at the gorgeous historic Locust Grove. Their fall wedding is quickly approaching, and {as much as I want time to stand still for a while…} we cannot wait! But, more on that when the time comes :) Until then, enjoy a few of our favorite images from their lovely engagement session!

And, of course, I must share a few film images that I love from this session! :)

Emily + Luc | Louisville Film Wedding Photographers

Deanna Kaye — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 01:59:59 +0000

What an amazing, insanely busy summer this has been! In the midst of all the weddings, portraits, and travel over the past few months, I have apparently forgotten to update our blog with all the latest and greatest images of our fabulous clients. My apologies! Let me begin making it up to you with some seriously gorgeous images from Emily and Luc’s spring garden wedding :)

Emily and Luc are a pretty fantastic couple… Fun, easy-going, all-around lovable kind of people. So, we obviously knew we were going to enjoy spending the day with them as they celebrated their marriage at the Sawyer Hayes Community Center :) In spite of the looming thunderstorms off in the distance, their lovely garden wedding went on as planned, and was oh-so-pretty! With an old forgotten road disappearing into the woods as their aisle, buckets of fresh flowers to brighten the field, and bits of sunshine peeking through the clouds, it really could not have been any better!

Normally I save some favorite film images for the end of each blog post, but there were so many that I LOVED from Emily and Luc’s wedding that I couldn’t help but do an entire post just of film. Simple, clean, and timeless… We are falling more in love with this somewhat forgotten medium each and every day, we love being film wedding photographers. And it’s the simple things in life that make me smile :) Enjoy!

Diana + Patrick | Frankfort Lifestyle Engagement Photography Session {Buffalo Trace Distillery}

Deanna Kaye — Thu, 12 May 2011 22:52:36 +0000

Diana and Patrick live in the beautiful state of Colorado, so until they were home for their lifestyle engagement photography session, we hadn’t had the pleasure of meeting this fantastic couple yet. They are so interesting, fun, sweet, adorable, … the list could go on!! Eric and I had a lovely time getting to know Diana and Patrick as we walked around Buffalo Trace Distillery grabbing lots of stunning photographs of the two of them. We simply cannot wait until this fall for their wedding! Until then, enjoy a few of our favorites from their spring lifestyle engagement photography session :)

Eric shot some film, as always, and I LOVE the images he got! Here are a few faves:

And… he decided to try a pack of instant film from the Impossible Project. Pretty awesome stuff!
