Brown Hotel and St Francis of Assisi Wedding

Ashley at the Brown Hotel for her wedding

This wedding shows how important it is to capture the start of the day.  It's so much more than just make-up and hair.  It's an experience like no other when we get to be there as the energy builds for the day, a mom gives a reassuirng look, or a dad walks into the room for the first time.  Enjoy this day.  We did.

Katie and Aaron enjoying the simple life at Sawyer Hayes for a Kentucky wedding film

It's so ironic we are posting this video on a day when the temperatures are in single digits.  January 22nd was a cold, cruel day.  The joy is that looking back just a few months ago, we were filming at the Sawyer Hayes center in Louisville Kentucky on a perfect wedding day.  It was warm, sunny, bright skies, and a perfect breeze to make the lanterns sway and the flowers rustle.

The best part of this video was how Katie smiled and Aaron just enjoyed every minute of it.  It was the perfect wedding day.  Katie simply glowed all day and the hair by Laura Conard of Wedding Hair by Laura Conard with make-up by Ashley Corsi of Perfect Complexions really made Katie look stunning.  She had the most perfect smile every moment of the day.  It's so great when a bride and groom relax and are able to take in all the wonderful people and moments happening around them.

The stunning view of Sawyer Hayes Community Center on a wedding day

We started our day filming at Sawyer Hayes Community Center.  This popular wedding and event space is located in Anchorage, KY off the backside of the E.P. Tom Sawyer Park.  Filming at Sawyer Hayes for a wedding always lends itself to stunning moments.  The outside ceremony with the wooden terrace, the Chinese lanterns, and the lush scenery all around once again proved to be a perfect setting for an outdoor Kentucky wedding.  

Aaron and Katie also decided to do a first look with Stewart Hunter Photography snapping some photos.  You can link to their photos here on the Stewart Hunter Photography Blog.  It was great working with Stewart and the photos look fantastic.  It's so interesting to see how we both captured such a unique moment with the first look.  Both sides telling a great tale for the couple to share for generations. 

Just a couple of details that made this outdoor Kentucky wedding perfect

We also have to add that the evening wouldn't have been as perfect were it not for Dave Drummond with Odyssey Entertainment.  We worked with Dave many times this past year and he really brings a perfect balance to any day.  The highlight doesn't show the energy of the reception but it really focuses on how Dave set-up all the big moments perfectly from the entrance to the formal dances.  Always good to work with such a top notch professional.  The cake was another masterpiece from Mert's Cakes by Virginia.  They look the best, taste the best, and honestly we can't say enough about how much a stunning cake adds to the feel of the reception.

The song is Jeff Radford's Simple Life available here.  We work with couple to find the perfect song for the day.  What could be more fitting than a "Simple Life" on a day like this?

Sarah and Christopher and The Perfect Kentucky Wedding Video

This day was an absolute blast.  From the moment this video plays you'll see what a great time we had with Sarah and Christopher & Friends.  They were there to enjoy the day and make the most of it.  The trolley started at Seelbach, then on to St. James UMC, and ended up at Mellwood Arts Center for the reception of a lifetime.  

We were able to work with the incredibly talented and wonderfully joyful Honey Heart photography.  Check out the link to see a perfect example of what they not only bring to the table (if the table was a camera and a lens) but how truly fun and genuine this pair is.  We had a great time being a part of the day and the positive energy we were surrounded by.  Honey Heart Photography is based out of Lexington, but Gabe has Louisville roots and knows all the good places to shoot.

And while the incredible work is only shown in a glimpse here (part two soon to come with the stunning orange floral and candle lit reception tables), J. Elizabeth Designs did such a wonderful job providing the floral and decor for the event.  The orange arrangements for the ceremony made such a great impact.  We had a chance to talk to J. Elizabeth Designs beforehand and having the orange to the outside of the altar did an amazing job of framing the altar.  Loved it.  Hands down.  Jill outdid herself once again and the reception portion of the highlight is going to show it.

Enjoy the highlight and the view we once again give into an ICVideo couple.  We are so lucky to do what we do.  And special thanks to Mike (Sarah's brother) for bringing us on to film the day.  Mike is serving our country and we so deeply thank him for that.  

Alex and Todd - A Berea Kentucky wedding at Boone Tavern and The Danforth Chapel

What wonderful idea it is when two people fall in love, decide to get married and simply split the difference between hometowns.  The couple travelled to Berea KY for their perfect day.  The 150 or so guest that showed up were given the best taste of Kentucky hospitality possible.  

Filming at the historic Boone Tavern was an absolute delight!  It is such a grand historic location and the perfect weather of the day allowed us to create what is surely one of our most beautiful weddings of the year.  

One of our favorite moments had to be the first look.  The chance for the bride and groom, in front of parents and friends, to see each other for the first time before the ceremony.  The space behind the Boone Tavern was perfect and everything was in bloom.  It was a truly fantastic day with love and friendship pouring forth the entire time.

Kentucky Wedding Video - St. Martin of Tours and The Fort Knox Leaders Club

Andrea & Casey Clark Flaherty and Fort Knox Wedding from ICVideo on Vimeo.

We have to admit that often our favorite clients are referrals. It is always so nice to have the chance to work with familiar friends and family, sometimes 2,3, and even 4 times. We orginally filmed Andraya's sisters wedding in 2009 (check out the video from four years ago here). It was so neat to go back to the same beautiful church and capture the day. There were several of the same guest and so many smiling faces that seemed familiar.

St Martin of Tours is a traditional Catholic church located in Flaherty KY with the reception portion being held at The Leaders Club on Fort Knox. Great locations for anyone in Meade or Hardin County.
