This past weekend I had the honor of attending a styled shoot at Mather’s Mill, a gorgeous wedding venue about an hour outside of Louisville, in Central Kentucky. The first thing I noticed when I arrived was how pristine everything was, and I was impressed! The long white gravel driveway provides a nice drive up into the venue and the red barn really pops against the countryside. It was a rainy Sunday morning when I arrived so I quickly threw on my rain boots sitting in the passenger seat, grabbed my bags, and ran inside the farmhouse.

Cameron and Abby are the sweetest couple. We met at golden hour at the Crescent Hill Reservoir, which was built as Louisville’s only water reservoir in the late 1800’s, and is gorgeous! We spent a bit of time at the park across the street, and then walked the loop around the reservoir.
