Connor & Alyssa | Elegant Talon Winery Wedding in Lexington, KY

From the very first moment, it was clear: Alyssa and Connor are two of the kindest, most genuine souls you’ll ever meet. Their wedding day was such a reflection of that — full of warmth, laughter, deep love, and so much intentionality.

The day began with two of the sweetest first looks — moments that perfectly set the tone for everything to come. Alyssa shared a deeply emotional first look with her dad, who was giving away his youngest and last daughter. You could feel the weight of that moment, full of love and bittersweet pride. Then came her first look with Connor — and he was absolutely stunned. From the second he saw her, he couldn’t stop smiling… or hugging her. It was the most tender, joy-filled moment, and you could just tell they were ready to take on forever together.

Their ceremony at Talon Winery was every bit as beautiful. Set against a vineyard backdrop and filled with heartfelt vows and a gentle summer breeze, it felt sacred and serene. From beginning to end, faith was at the center of it all — anchoring their love and shining through every detail.

And when it was time to celebrate? This group brought it. Their indoor reception was bursting with energy, laughter, and the kind of dance moves that only happen when you’re surrounded by your favorite people.

A joyful, elegant, love-filled day — it was such a gift to be part of it.
