Michael and Kirby’s Louisville Wedding

Michael and Kirby’s Louisville wedding at the Gardens at Ray-Eden and St. Boniface Catholic Church was gorgeous. As a Lexington and Louisville wedding photographer I get to photograph couples tying the knot all over Kentucky and I love how at this wedding we got to enjoy both the old architecture of a historic church in downtown Louisville and then make our way to a beautifully manicured garden at the edge of the city. I am looking forward to more Gardens at Ray-Eden weddings in the future. Michael and Kirby’s day was nonstop fun from beginning to end. The house where Kirby got ready was busy with activity. I loved the custom cups she had made for her bridesmaids. The first look took place in the gardens followed by some photos. Then the party bus took everyone to the ceremony. St. Boniface is a beautiful building and a great place to get married. I loved shooting their silhouette against the stained-glass window surrounded by the towering pipe organ. Before we knew it we were back on the party bus making our way to the gardens for the reception. We arrived in the midst of the cocktail hour and after a lively introduction it was time for dinner and all of the anticipated festivities. After several touching toasts the couple cut the the cake and then made their way to cut the Louisville Cardinal grooms cake. To Michael’s surprise Kirby had ensured that the inside of the cake was UK blue! The laughter led perfectly into the dance party. A unique part of the reception was a pretty impressive Ice-cream Sunday station, complete with all of the toppings you could want. After everyone had danced their heart out it was only fitting to send off the couple in an archway of sparklers. Congratulations Michael and Kirby!
