Kimberly and Christopher – After All This Time?…. Always

On June 7th, 2014, I was fortunate enough to be the photographer for a fellow friend and photographer of mine, Kimberly McClellan Woods.  It was a magical day, inspired by the story of Harry Potter.  It started with a bridal session in my loft, then a walk around historic Old Louisville.  The ceremony and reception were in the Glassworks Building in downtown Louisville.  I want to thank Gary Barragan for stepping in to assist and 2nd shoot for me this day.  Some of the images below were taken by him.  I also want to thank Kat McKyle for rocking the bridal makeup and hair.

Harry Potter love theme and inspiration:

When I asked Kimberly about the Harry Potter theme, she related her wedding and love for Chris to the following…..

“Dumbledore watched her fly away, and as her silvery glow faded he turned back to Snape, and his eyes were full of tears. ‘After all this time?’ ‘Always,’ said Snape.'”

“When Snape confesses his continued love for Lily, he shows that his love is still strong, and no amount of time or distance can break it.  That is a true love story.  Chris and I, (Ok mainly me) wanted to share the same love that Snape had for Lily. We didn’t do the traditional wedding because our love isn’t traditional.  We made a vow, the unbreakable vow in fact, to promise that our love isn’t temporary.  Our love is like magic.  It never really leaves us.  It is strong, and we will love each other… always.”
