Allie and I grew up spending Thanksgivings together in Winchester, KY where she’s from and where my grandparents grew up. She was there for some of my favorite traditions as a kid like going to see the lights display at the Kentucky horse park in Lexington after dinner on Thanksgiving day. She was always one of the most beautiful and popular people I knew and her wedding day was no exception - she looked absolutely stunning and was surrounded by so many friends and family. Just check out their gorgeous bridal party!

This wedding was especially meaningful because I’ve known Allie my whole life. Our grandmothers were sisters-in-law and best friends. My whole family was there so I got to spend time with them as well as photograph them.

Allie and Ryan have such a special bond and everyone just seemed so thrilled to see them marry each other. I’m so happy for my little cousin who has grown into a beautiful woman, mom to their precious little girl, and now wife. Best wishes to the Marklands!

The wedding was at a gorgeous venue in Frankfort, KY of which my Granddaddy later filled me in on the history. It was great working with so many vendors I’ve never worked with before. Thanks everyone!
