David Blair Photography's Featured Wedding

Louisville Wedding Photographer David Blair, who regularly has his work featured in bridal magazines, just made the cover of Sophisticated Living Weddings. The magazine is also featuring the wedding which took place at the famous Seelbach Hotel in downtown Louisville. Mike and Becky were a complete joy for David to capture. When Becky exclaimed, “I’m dressed so fancy, it’s like I’m getting married or something today!” everyone laughed, but really everyone was all admiring how gorgeous she looked in that wedding dress. Since they invited friends and family from the East Coast, it made sense to hold the wedding at a hotel to accommodate the out-of-towners and the Seelbach's elegance and history made it a perfect fit.

 

These guys sure brought some shame to the “usual” dancers in the middle of a circle. Here are some other images from the wedding that did not make it into the magazine.

Becky and her family are Jewish, but Mike and his family are Methodist so their ceremony consisted of traditions from both a Christian and Jewish wedding, as you may have noticed a Rabbi and a Minister. Following Jewish tradition, the couple was wed under a canopy called a Chuppah. Theirs was made from fabric from Becky’s grandmother’s wedding dress. And the table holding the wine for the ceremony was clothed in handkerchiefs from Michael’s great-grandmother.

After the ceremony, they held an open bar cocktail hour in the foyer where they spent much of their time greeting guests while elaborate appetizers were served. This was also a great time for guests to mingle because so often in a arranged seating reception not everyone gets to say hello.

After a fantastic dinner The Kadillacs, the 11-member band, took the stage and was quite entertaining throughout the rest of the night. The energy from a live band really keeps the dance floor full.

The day went off beautifully without a hitch, even including the riding on chairs! You can see more of David Blair's photos from Mike and Becky’s Engagement Session Here.
