2008-03-15T23:34:00.013-04:00

KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN THIS WEEK FOR OUR NEW SITE!!!!!

Now, back to the weddings......

Brooke's wedding was in Ashland KY, and she was sweet to put me and Cara up at the Ashland Plaza, with some beautiful gift baskets waiting for us in our rooms! Great big thanks

We started out with Brooke at the hairstylist...and stayed till everybody was completely worn out at the reception!

Sorry girls, I'm only going to show a few of Brooke's photos! You'll have to wait until my new website comes out, hopefully, this coming week....

A little "Rossi" never hurts to start off the day....mmmmm

I love my bridesmaids!

Hopefully my next blog will come to you from my new site....see you then!

Oh how could I forget, one more shout out to my "JO"! Thanks for encouraging me to get my blog back on.....

Much blog love,
wendy

Well Jo, I hope you're not too disappointed...I know you really wanted me to catch up! I'm going to go back and add much more to each of my last posts for you. Love ya!

I am really excited about my 2008 weddings!! All my girls seem to want to allow me to take off with my creative efforts. Don't get me wrong, traditional is still a good thing! I just want every bride to have something unique!!

But again, I also want to go back and give you all much more of each wedding from 2007. We had some beautiful brides, unusual locations and some beautiful (but "hot") days to shoot!

I'm also going to add a gallery to my site, which will showcase the different new styles of Coffee Table Books I'm going to offer this year.

We'll also be taking on a couple of promising new interns, that I am excited about. I finally have some guys who have taken some intern positions! I guess I've always had women apply, because they feel more comfortable working with another woman....but, I think they soon found out (though we all know I'm absolutely lovely to be with ....lol) that this is a tuff job!! I hope my little intern guys don't think I'll be taking it easy on them. I treat every bride as though she were my own sister, and I expect 110% every time from my interns/associates! So far the guys follow my instructions a little better than the gals....hmmmm....what's up with that? We'll see....this should be interesting.

Oh yes, I hope my friend Nura is still keeping up with me! Give me a shout sometime girl!

How can I forget...!!!! Angela, where you be my girl?!! Miss you...give a girl a call will you!

Much Blog Love My Friends,
Wendy
P.S. hi Kindra...much love!

Well....What do you know? I'm back at it! Finally! Here's to all my blog fans that have been telling me to catch up. I wasn't able to get all the poses and stories posted that I wanted to...but, at least this will give you some idea of what I've been up to....

2007 brought some fun, tears, music, dancing... and HEAT! We had alot of outside shooting to do. Whether the weddings were outside, or my brides just want some outdoor photography.

Carrie Tomko is a great example! Everything was inside, but how could we go without shooting the cool shots at Lexington's own Keeneland. I've also added some other neat shots, that were my personal favorites.

Carrie's flowers were done by the Ivory Rose, Beth Sampson Owner. Beautiful, just beautiful! I've worked with Beth Sampson for years. My clients have always raived over Beth's work!

You know what? I'm going to have to come back to this wedding when I can add more. There's just too many I can't leave out!

At least this is a start!

Talk to you soon my little blog friends!

May 19, 2007 Swafford & Sawyer Wedding

2007-07-05T00:14:00.000-04:00

Our May 19th wedding was held at Second Presbyterian Church, and the reception was at the beautiful Headley-Whitney! Courtney & Cooper couldn't have had a better day!

You'll have to forgive me for putting up so many of the flower arrangements, but Crist Creona did an amazing job!! As a matter of fact, I've put up so many more images from this particular wedding, because this was the gathering of the "A" team of wedding vendors:

*The Headley-Whitney/Ivey Hinton Wedding "Special Events Director" iveyhenton@aol.com

*Crist Creona Designs/Flowers 252.6833 cristnick@aol.com

*South-Van Premier Catering/Sam Sears "Executive Chef" http://www.southvanevents.com/

*Wendy Highbarger Photography/ w/ additional photography by Rickerson's Photography, as well as my own photographic associate Cara Grandy. It's on rare occasion that four professional photographers join efforts on one particular wedding.

A big thanks to Paula Miller for letting us take care of her girl! I also can't thank Ivey Henton enough for sending these wonderful clients my way !

Congratulations

Courtney & Cooper!

A WILD WEDDING SEASON!

2007-06-18T02:00:00.000-04:00

I know I'm suppose to get every wedding posted every week, but it's been so crazy this wedding season so far!!! Much thanks to my good buddies, Teresa & Rick Rickerson!! They have been more than gracious in helping me cover some events this year.... and I love them!

You would be so suprized at how "on time" my bridal party people have been this year. I am... and it's made more time to do some awesome shots..... I'll catch you up to date tomorrow. I'm afraid I'm pretty whipped right now... Cara and I stayed and danced last night at the wedding, after we went off duty, and well let's put it this way... I'm not as young as I use to be, girls I'm dying today. And a quick shout out to my bridesmaidds last night, You girls throw down!! I don't know when I've laughed so hard. And I think you're the best dancers I've seen all year! Holla

I hope to get my last weddings posted for you all tomorrow. And thanks for the emails and calls about the blog! I think it's sweet you guys are keeping up with Cara and I!

Oh yeah, Angela I'm desperately trying to get back to Louisville..... but, I just haven't had time to breathe. But, I'll get up there, I promise. You still love me ..... I know you do, so don't even front girl.

Much blog love, wendy

I was so happy to shoot a wedding in Owensboro KY, because that's where my family lives!!! My cousins Mark and Tammy Bozarth, and my little precious mini cousins!!! Philip had to leave for a conference, Blake was probablly hiding from the camera and the three cuties around me are: Crissy, Brooke and lil' Jeb!! Aren't they the cutest things you've ever seen?! I had a blast with my peeps... They treated me like a queen!!!! And to be honest, I didn't want to come home!
Cuzin Tammy even cooked me some tater soup...

Oh yeah, I guess I should mention the last four weddings I've shot... oops, I'm a little behind. I'll catch ya' up tomorrow...

Much love to my sweet cuzins!!!!

It's Late...

2007-05-19T02:56:00.000-04:00

As usual in wedding season, I'm up late (or early)... and I'll be hitting the road tomorrow, to another happy Saturday wedding. I'll be at Second Presbyterian and the Headley Whitney tomorrow. I look for this wedding to be a "show stopper"! I've ask Teresa Rickerson, from Rickerson Photography, to shoot with Cara and I, since there is so much going on... The weather is suppose to be good, so I'll check back in with you on Monday with some awesome shots...
Much blog love,
wendy

Congrats Allyn & Andrew / May 12th

2007-05-19T01:55:00.000-04:00

As promised here is the start of the 2007 wedding season views!

Isn't this the most unique church!

Allyn and Andrew's day couldn't have went any better!! Her choice of berry red for her bride's maid dresses is one of my favorite colors... and her hairstyle was so classic. But my favorite part was when the couple pulled me aside and said, "let's do some creative poses outside" during the reception... fun!

Much love Allyn & Andrew!

A Blast From The Past!

2007-04-18T20:52:00.000-04:00

Guess Who This Lovely Young Lady Is????

Lindsey Wheeler was actually the "flowergirl" at one of the weddings I photographed early on in my career in Lexington Kentucky!! And she's back to get hitched herself!!!

She and John met with me, and I kept thinking I recognized her pretty blue eyes from somewhere... Wow! It's times like these that I so especially love my job!! At Lindsey's wedding, I'll get the chance to see her aunt, Jean Wheeler-Miller, and all her family! I've photographed all of Jean's children, and now her nieces' wedding... I feel like part of the family now. It's been a long time Jean...but, we both still look good... true... just keepin' it real...

I can't wait Lindsey & John, we'll have a blast!!!!

Me, Lindsey and John planning their big day!
