Y’all not only is this wedding absolutely beautiful but it was FULL of sweetness and sentimental details. Andrew and Blaire were married in July 2019 at Keeneland in Lexington, KY. They also had their rehearsal dinner at The Apiary in Lexington. This wedding was so sweet for me to capture. I am close to the Barnhart family as I’m good friends with Blairs sister and I also shot the wedding of her brother, so it was only fitting for me to capture another BIG event for this sweet family. I hope you all enjoy all the sweet and beautiful moments of this day, Keeneland was the perfect location for an absolutely beautiful day. If you make it to the bottom you can also see a link for the video from Scott Hayes Productions.

Favorite part of planning process: We didn’t stress about it! Partially because we had an amazing planner, Lindsay-who took care of us ABOVE and beyond anything we could have ever imagined-and partially because no matter what happened, we were going to get married and that’s what mattered. AJ says his favorite part was, of course… testing the food.
