As I read Nathan Peel’s recap of Katherine and Marty’s wedding day, I could help but pay attention to two things: how their main concern was for their guests, and that they were incredibly humble. And the beautiful thing is how obvious it is in every single photo Nathan captured. It’s weddings like this that remind me why I’m in this business to begin with, and why I enjoy sharing their stories with each of you.

From Nathan, the photographer:

Katherine and Marty are the kind of gracious and caring couple that you would expect from a couple Southerners. Their class and heart was evident at every turn as their concern was always for their guests. At one point, as the DJ was telling everyone to stand on their feet to welcome them into their reception, Katherine even motioned to the crowd as if to say, “Sit down, no need to make a big deal about us.” It was humbling. Even in a moment that they fully deserved all the recognition, they were still concerned with everyone else. Very refreshing. As you can see the wedding was gorgeous. St. Peter in Chains is such a awe inspiring church and The Phoenix is a classic and beautiful place for a reception. Paul and Alex from Fleur de Lis Events & Design created one of the most stunning atmospheres for a wedding. They even arranged all of the florals for the whole day! Unbelievable work. The couple were both Kentuckians and met at University of Louisville. The centerpieces all had a very elegant Southern horse stable feel to them and the table place cards were all custom cut paper glued to horseshoes from Churchill Downs…how cool is that?

Every time a couple makes the effort to infuse personality and meaning into their event, the execution is always wonderful. As a stylist (and a guest), I love to hear the meaning behind those details – it’s what helps to make the even memorable for all involved. What personal touches are you incorporating into your big day?
