Wedding at The Caldwell House – Russellville, Kentucky – Photography By Billie Jean

Wedding

January 29, 2022

Nikki & Dakota had a gorgeous Winter wedding at the beautiful Caldwell House in downtown Russellville, Kentucky.

I had the pleasure of photographing Nikki and Dakota’s gorgeous and intimate Russellville Kentucky Wedding on January 29th, 2022 at the beautiful Caldwell House estate.

Photographing Nikki getting ready for her wedding day was one of my favorite experiences of any wedding I’ve shot. She is a PRO at makeup and seeing her get herself ready for her own wedding was such a delight to witness and photograph.

Look at these gorgeous details!! Photographing wedding day details is always one of my favorite parts of every wedding day and Nikki & Dakota’s wedding was no exception! That gorgeous old mirror was calling my name the second I saw it! <3

Dakota did absolutely amazing during his formal Groom portraits. This is exactly why I offer a complimentary engagement session for all of my wedding clients! Engagement sessions give us a chance to get to know one another, work together, and they allow me to teach the both of you all about my posing system and gives you the chance to get comfortable in front of my camera.

I mean, could these two possibly be any more precious?! They even braved the freezing cold of January to go outside with me for sunset portraits! So beautiful! The downtown streets of Russellville Kentucky afforded us some gorgeous outdoor portrait opportunities!
