Girl Time at Please & Thank You

/

Please & Thank You is consistently on lists describing Louisville's best coffee shops and in my opinion, has THE BEST chocolate chip cookie in town!  They also have heavy whipping cream, so you know that makes this girl happy!

I met my friend Lindsey there to catch up now that all the holiday craziness has settled.  She's also a wedding photographer so we couldn't help but make it into a mini-photoshoot together before we scurried inside to warm up with a butterscotch latte, which tastes even better than it sounds.  But don't let the cozy sweaters and warm smiles fool you - this day was anything but warm!  The giggles were from the fact that we were both happy as clams freezing in the middle of the street to have some play time with our cameras.

Styled Shoot: 21c Hotel & Museum

/

I wish I'd known about "Styled Shoots" as a little girl.  Of course, I had my own version complete with Barbie dolls and a hot pink corvette (reception exit inspiration?).  The beauty is getting to work with other wedding vendors, and execute a vision that helps us say to brides "if you love this as much as we do, we may be a great fit!".  It gives a glimpse of what they can expect.  

This styled shoot took place at 21c Museum Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky.  I may or may not have experienced a celebrity sighting when I walked into the lobby with all of my equipment (and saw he who must not be named - franchise hint).

I've now photographed three styled shoots with Victoria Stanton (pictures of the third are coming soon!), and I must say her work is beautiful!  I've listed all of the vendors at the end of the post.  Enjoy!
