Ashley is a California girl (literally from California) and Brad is a Kentucky naive. They’ll be tying the knot out west next year but opted to do engagement photos here in Kentucky!
I thought it was incredibly sweet when Ashley (again, California girl) inquired with me and said she wanted to include a “rustic” location during their session for Brad, who grew up on a farm. I know when two people get married they’re creating a new life together; but I love when a person is accepting and loving of the life that made the person they fell in love with and happy to acknowledge it and even include it.

Photographer’s Note:
Beckley Creek Park (A part of The Parklands of Floyd’s Fork) requires a photography permit which you can apply for HERE.
Red Orchard Park is open to the public and does not require a photography permit but it’s always a good idea to touch base the Shelby County Parks Dept to see if any events are happening that day.
