Kate and Matt’s Louisville Wedding

Kate and Matt’s Louisville Wedding started downtown at the Seelbach Hotel. It is an excellent choice and as a Louisville wedding photographer the Seelbach is one of my favorite venues to photograph in. Although this winter wedding was surrounded with many days well below freezing, Kate and Matt were blessed with temperatures in the 50s and no rain. The suite where the ladies were getting ready was bustling with activity when I arrived. Kate was having a great time with her ladies and the excitement was certainly building. Laura Conard did a fabulous job with the ladies hair as did Ashely Meadows with make up. Once both Kate and Matt had gotten ready they enjoyed a intimate first look followed by some portraits around the hotel.  Kate’s excellent taste was evident throughout the entire day. She looked stunning in her dress and she made my job easy. Matt did not look too shabby either and certainly fit the part of a handsome man in uniform. Next the whole bridal party climbed aboard a trolley and headed to the church. The ceremony took place at St. Louis Bertrand Catholic Church. The stateliness and grandeur of the church building matched the elegance of the whole wedding day. After the vows have been made the party headed over to the Mellwood Art Center for the reception. Stephanie MacDonald of Planned Perfection Events did an amazing job of both helping the whole day to run smoothly and especially of making the reception look amazing. I loved all the blue up lighting and the different centerpieces used throughout the reception hall. After a cocktail hour and dinner the dance party kick into high gear.  Everyone had a great time and I certainly was honored to be photographing such a fun celebration.  Congratulations Kate and Matt!
