A Family Affair – Emily & Josh
I have been hired to shoot in Kentucky several times over the past few years and I am in love with the landscape. I am also loving all these intimate weddings and the weddings that are taking place on family property that I am getting to shoot. So this wedding was right up my alley. Emily was in the army and one day while visiting a church near where she is stationed, Josh sat in the same pew as her. They said maybe two words to each other. She was smitten. A few weeks later Josh asked Emily to go out to lunch with him after church. They barely talked the whole time. She was even more smitten. Josh is a man of few words but is extremely kind and personable and Emily fell in love.
Emily and Josh wanted to have a wedding that was centered around them becoming husband and wife but also about the marriages that were the greatest examples to them, their parents'. The wedding and reception took place on Josh’s parents’ property. Emily’s dress was reworked from her mother’s wedding dress. Framed wedding photos of each of their parents functioned as table decor. It was charming and so was this couple and their family. It was a delightful day filled with a s'mores bar, a bonfire, old fashion soda bottles (where I'm from it's pop by the way), and Josh’s old blue truck. They had no more than 50 people and that consisted of mainly family members. Please enjoy this very sweet wedding.
