Richmond + Berea, Kentucky

Madison County weddings, where the Bluegrass meets the hills.

Richmond and Berea are about half an hour south of us. Mansions from the 1800s, a vineyard with five venues on one property, barns with a view, and the first ridges of Appalachia behind all of it.

01

What Madison County looks like on camera

This is where the flat horse country starts to roll. A lot of venues here have long views out to the knobs, which means sunsets with some depth to them. Richmond has the old estates and a college campus with art deco ballrooms. Berea has the arts-and-crafts town, the college, and the foothills. We like using both in a single day.

Both towns are inside our included 60 miles from Lexington, so there's no travel charge, and we go look at the venue before the day.

How we work

Quietly, mostly. Clara photographs and Nathaniel films as one crew, so there's nobody competing for the aisle and the gallery and the film match. We direct a short portrait walk and the family photos you want, put real microphones on the vows and toasts, and otherwise stay out of the way.

Photography starts at $2,400, film at $2,800, and both of us for ten hours at $4,800. Sneak peeks in 48 hours, the gallery within six weeks, films within ten.

Chenault Vineyards

A vineyard with several ceremony and reception spaces on one property.
