Kentucky Engagement Session (cont'd...)


The summer is in full swing but we didn't want to move on before sharing at least a glimpse of Chris and Lesley's pictures with you! Because Chris and Lesley also live in Kentucky, this was our first time meeting Chris. We had a great time visiting with them, talking about the coming wedding and sharing funny stories.

For their session's location, Chris and Lesley chose a local distillery, Maker's Mark. The grounds were beautiful! Even though our session continued after the place closed, management unlocked the buildings and allowed us to continue the session as long as we closed the doors behind us :)

Kentucky Engagement Session... but first, some sleep.




We're in the Lexington KY airport right now waiting for our flight to Memphis and then back to Omaha. Unfortunately we don't have a long enough layover in Memphis to visit Graceland:( (just kidding)

We had a great time here at our engagement shoot with Chris and Lesley and the people of KY have been great! We didn't get to go to The Derby though, can you believe the winner was a 50-1 longshot! We grabbed lunch at a local pub and the owner was telling us how he won, not a bad payback. Anyway, Erin liked the sleep package the hotel gave us so we thought we'd share. It was quite relaxing... it came with a sleep CD, earplugs, lavender pillow spray and the eye cover. We also found out that our hotel, The Lexington Crowne Plaza, is one of the oldest hotels in Lexington (recently remodeled thankfully).
