Rich and I had the opportunity to join Kelly and Lucas for their amazing wedding day last Saturday. Everyone was in high-spirits and everything was so beautiful. Although it was nearly a 12 hour day we loved every minute of it! Both Lucas and Kelly have absolutely wonderful and loving families and we were blessed to hang out all day with them!
Enjoy the blog post and be sure to check out the slideshow at the bottom for more wedding day images!
The day started out with a very calm and collected Kelly having her hair done by the talented Diana.
Already looking vibrant and gorgeous, Kelly then had her makeup done by Jill with Elea Blake.
Kelly’s amazing gown! We loved using the beautiful arches at the church for some creative images!
Lucas and Kelly opted (much to our delight) for a “first look.” Here is Kelly approaching her very handsome groom…
After the bride and groom had a few special moments together, we spent some time with them in various locations around the church. It was far too easy to photograph these two…they are so in love and it shows! We could not have asked for a sweeter, more easy to work with couple! Here are just a couple portraits with many more to come…
Kelly is not only stunningly beautiful, she is calm, kind, and thoroughly gracious. She and Lucas are more than clients…they are friends!

The gorgeous rings:
The ceremony was beautiful and incredibly meaningful. While Rich circled the sanctuary, I was perched in the choir loft for images with a totally different perspective and I think the team work paid off! I love the resulting ceremony coverage!
Some of the most beautiful cakes I’ve ever seen:
Lucas and Kelly’s first dance as husband and wife! Beautiful!

Dancing and celebration!!!
The send off!
Note from Rich: These last two picture Heather captured (along with several above). She did a brilliant job and I absolutely love these last two photos. I can’t figure out which one I loved more so I included both! I’m so proud of you, sweetheart!

Beth - For real! You guys are truly blessed with an incredible gift, thanks for sharing it with all of us. Makes me want to do my special day all over again just so I can have you guys take the pictures. Love, love, love it!
MattDJ - I was expecting some kind of blow-me-away-ness but I don’t think I was quite ready for this. This family is so fortunate to have had you guys document this once in a lifetime day for them. Truly another Smith classic.
