A Sugar Grove Wedding

Blog submitted by Danielle Lear, Turning Point Productions

Forever ago (September), I shot my first HD wedding at Sugar Grove Carriage House in Oak Grove, Kentucky. We had just made the switch from standard to HD and I was looking for a nice, happy couple to help me try out the new high def equipment. A photog friend of mine, we'll call her "Bethany", had the PERFECT couple! She was already capturing their wedding day - photo style - and thought they'd be the perfect couple for a free HD video. Not only were they fun and nice, but I also happen to share a last name with the groom, so I'm pretty sure it was fate!

The couple's ceremony and reception venue was Sugar Grove Carriage House. "Present day 'Sugar Grove', nestled in the beautiful rolling open fields of southern Kentucky, offers a unique blend of rustic charm and elegance for your special event. The Carriage House, Pergola Garden and fireplace, the tiny Guest house, walking trails, horses and carriages, and the farmhouse residence with large open grassy lawn offers all the options needed for your...weddings and receptions..." -sugargrovecarriagehouse.com

Their website blurb (above) does not lie! The ride up Sugar Grove's driveway to the venue is gorgeous! Ponds, horses, and acres upon acres of beautiful farmland surround the location, and I loved every bit of it. I met Bethany Ann Photography at Sugar Grove that afternoon and we had such a great time capturing James & Andrea's wedding day at such a perfect venue.

WAY back in October, I had the pleasure of filming Joann & Ryan's wedding day at Kuttawa Harbor House. It was my first time filming there and I was excited to see what all the buzz was about! After a classic-rock filled interstate ride, I found myself a couple turns off the highway, driving along the GORGEOUS Barkley & Kentucky lakes. "Kentucky’s wonderland combination of Barkley and Kentucky lakes present a uniquely unspoiled beauty offering entertainment for everyone. The elegant Kuttawa Harbor House, with its beautiful lakefront grounds, sits in the midst of romantic Old Kuttawa." -www.kuttawaharborhouse.com

As soon as I arrived, I found myself exploring the Harbor House grounds. I wandered around to the garden, where Joann & Ryan's ceremony would be taking place. Waterfalls, weeping willows, the lake view - it was beautiful! I finally met Joann & Ryan, a super fun couple, loaded with personality, and began capturing their wedding day. One of my favorite parts of the day has to be their ceremony. The Harbor House ended up being the perfect venue for their intimate, meaningful (and highly entertaining!) wedding ceremony, which I highlighted in their mosaic film below:
