That’s right you guys! Did you know we have a Castle in Kentucky? Ok, ok, it’s not like the vistas I saw when touring France, but it is a fun place for a gorgeous date night and a bit of Lexington, Kentucky lore. Driving through the hills of the bluegrass, I passed Castle Post as a kid and just dreamed about what must have gone on inside those gates. Returning as an adult, and celebrating the engagement of Ashlee and Michael, was the perfect compliment to the princess day dreams of childhood!
Paul and I had the pleasure of meeting Ashlee and Michael at the Kentucky Bride Magazine’s How Charming Bridal Event in Louisville this spring! We were so bummed to already be booked for their wedding day, but thrilled at the chance to shoot an engagement session for them! We started the day in Gratz Park in Lexington, Ky.
Castle Post is a special place for these two, because it’s where they got engaged! On the rooftop after dinner, just like the start of any good fairy tale wedding. It was lovely to be able to go back and explore the grounds with them!
If you ever want to check it out for yourself, check out The Kentucky Castle, over on their website below. Thanks for a wonderful evening, Ashlee and Michael!

WOW, these are so lovely! I have never been to Kentucky and wouldn’t associate a castle with it. It’s great you have this type of venue for any type of session to give people variety also it’s kind of nice that they chose a venue (that happens to be pretty) but personal to them both.
This Kentucky Castle location is incredible! Congrats to the beautiful couple, wish you got to shoot their wedding day too!
I love castles and had no clue there was on in Kentucky! I know these two love their engagement photos- so beautiful!
What a cool location, it feels like you’re somewhere exotic! And you did an awesome job with this session; an engagement in a castle is worth it!
Seriously!? I had no idea there was a place like this in KENTUCKY! Such a gorgeous location and couple, Congrats to them!!
How fun! I didn’t know there was a castle in Lexington. What a unique place for engagement photos.
what an incredible place! I can’t believe there is actually a castle in Kentucky!! This couple looks like they are made for each other! I can’t wait for their epic day!
Holy cow! This place is unreal! I totally want to go there now. I love the lighting on these images. You have a beautiful way of capturing things in such a soft and pretty light.
What a cool location. It was a perfect place for their engagement session. Lovely work.
I’m obsessed with this! I wish my engagement pictures had been in a castle!
Wow who knew there was such a beautiful castle in Kentucky? That first balcony shot is seriously stunning! I also love the one of them in the lawn in front the huge castle on the horizon. Beautiful couple and beautiful work!
I love this engagement session so much! I’m from Kentucky and the castle has always been such an interesting spot. Apparently it makes a stunning location for a photo session!
What a beautiful location, couple and photos! I’m so in to the bourbon aspect of it too 🙂
So jealous!! I still haven’t had the chance to photograph at The Kentucky Castle! This engagement session is lovely – they are going to have the hardest time trying to figure out which photographs to frame!
