Hey there! I'm Shelby. Think of me as your bestie with a camera. I'm a fun loving + candid inspired lifestyle photographer in Louisville, Kentucky who believes you deserve photos that look and feel like you. Working with me is like a hanging out with a close friend... I just happen to have my camera along for the ride!

We could not be more happy we chose Shelby as our wedding photographer. From the moment we met her, we loved her energy and passion. We chose a package that included an engagement shoot, which gave us amazing pictures and the chance to bond with Shelby before our wedding day. The engagement shoot and the wedding pictures are everything we wanted - Shelby really understood the vision and brought it to life. She was both easy to find and completely out of the spotlight on our day, which means we have the portraits we want and a ton of incredible candids of all of our favorite people celebrating with us - exactly what we were looking for. We absolutely loved sharing our day with Shelby. If you want a photographer with skill, vision, and personality, look no further - Shelby's the one.

As a documentary-style photographer, I truly believe that the essence of life is captured in the unscripted, candid moments that often go unnoticed-- Each click of my camera is more than just a snapshot; it’s an opportunity to freeze time and preserve the love, joy, and uniqueness of your moments for generations to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
My newly minted husband and I were over the moon from the initial contact with Anna Elisabeth. She is an excellent listener with a superb sense of capturing our wishes in her photographs. We had an unusual experience in that we wanted to capture both of our faith traditions on different days and different geographical areas in the same state. Anna Elisabeth professionally and respectfully photographically savored these traditions beautifully with her photographic gift. She was present and her presence was professionally and discretely demonstrated. Her keen sense of recording precious moments was one of storybooks.. from having the pictures of the bride's mother place, her once veil (when the mother was married 57 years ago) to having the groom's mother putting a family heirloom bracelet on to capturing the special wink given by the groom when he first saw the bride walking down the aisle with her father. All these moments were special at the time and Anna Elisabeth captured them beautifully and discretely. Communication is very important to us, and Anna Elisabeth was professional, prompt and demonstrated honest integrity throughout the entire process. We are providing her a 5 star rating but she is off the charts and anyone who uses her will understand why she should be rated a 10!

I'm a wedding, lifestyle, and portrait photographer servicing Louisville and Lexington, KY. I love love and I love capturing it more than anything. (Except for dogs. There's nothing on the planet I love more than dogs!) When I'm not behind the camera, you can find me curled up somewhere watching Parks and Recreation (again), or on a plane for a spontaneous trip. Traveling keeps my heart happy, so if you're looking for a photographer who is willing to travel for elopements, weddings, or engagements, I am your girl!

Bethany did an awesome job with our wedding pictures! She worked great alongside our videographer who she never met before our big day. Our wedding pictures turned out amazing and her prices are unbeatable. We will definitely be using her to capture all of our other big life moments!!

Based out of Kentucky, serving clients in the local area and beyond! I started photography in 2010 and took my business full-time in 2019. With more than 100 weddings under my belt, I would love to be considered to be a part of your special day! Please submit a contact form to inquire and we'll create a custom package for you! I love to capture the unique moments that every wedding includes, but also the sweet special moments that are unique to you and your fiancé! I love a warm documentary style with a mix of traditional.

Andrea Powell Photography was an incredible choice for our wedding day. From the very first interaction, Andrea's communication style was transparent, detailed and she was incredibly prepared. Her work is simply stunning - the photos she captured are truly impressive and have exceeded all of our expectations. Andrea came early on the wedding day, ready to work tirelessly. She listened to our preferences but also had wonderful ideas of her own, guiding us seamlessly through the process. Andrea made my husband and I feel so comfortable, and she even sent us teaser photos just a few days after the wedding. She was an absolute joy to work with, and we couldn't be happier with the incredible value she provided. We highly recommend Andrea Powell Photography to any couple planning their wedding.

Hi! I'm a documentary-style wedding photographer and videographer in the Louisville, Kentucky area. Capturing genuine love, happiness, and awkward moments is my specialty. I give you space to be yourselves and document those in-between moments and let your personality as a couple shine through. Let's capture your story.

We can't say enough good things about Adam and Shutter Photo & Film! He exceeded all our expectations. His demeanor and great sense of humor immediately put us at ease. We expected our engagement session to be about 30 minutes, but Adam was still going after an hour to get just the right lighting as the sun went down. When we received our engagement photos, we knew we had made the right choice for our wedding photographer. Adam and his assistant, Emily came to the wedding rehearsal to scout out the church and to talk to the priest about camera placement, etc. The day of our wedding Adam and Emily were on time and ready to get started. We had all our group photos taken before the wedding, and Adam had asked us prior to the wedding to make a list of the groupings we wanted. This made things go much faster and smoother. During the ceremony, we can't even remember seeing Adam or Emily. They managed to perfectly capture the joy and love we were feeling that day in photos. When we look through the photos, we are blown away by the candidness of many shots, and can't remember seeing Adam or Emily. It was like they just faded into the background. This was true of the reception as well. We could not have been happier with Shutter Photo & Film. They truly were a major contributor in making our wedding day the BEST DAY EVER!!!

You may not remember what you ate, the table cloths, the centerpieces, or the music played. You may not get to see every guest or the little moments between relatives. You may watch your wedding video once or twice throughout the years. What you will do is use, share and print your photos. My job is to retain the memory, and capture all those little moments you'll be too busy to see yourself, while documenting your special day. Giving you priceless moments and art you'll cherish for the rest of your life. I offer Photography (Some Video) services for any of your needs. I work with budgets.

While we’ve had plenty of photo sessions over the years, our family session with AJ was the best yet! It was such an easy process and he was able to help us pose naturally, but the best ones were the beautiful candid moments he had an eye for. Wish we would have been able to have him shoot our wedding photos and look forward to working with him again in the future!

Kendra Farris Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,500
  • Serves Chaplin, KY

I want to intentionally & truthfully capture these good ol’ days, so you can have photos to look back on. The years go will on & the photos will get more precious with time. I love capturing weddings of all sizes: from the big wedding that celebrates the blending of two families and cultures. To the intimate backyard wedding or elopement wedding in Red River Gorge, Kentucky. I’ve been photographing weddings since 2015 and have been lucky to capture over 150 weddings since then. The couples I resonate with the most are the ones want their memories captured candidly as they naturally unfold.

Kendra was amazing to work with. First, she met with my sister and I to plan out the timeline of the wedding. She was incredibly receptive to ideas that we had and she was able to help us plan the day to make it all happen. On the day-of, even when I was still being sewn into my dress, she was sure to keep everything on time and keep us at ease. She is such a sweet soul and she made people who don’t like their photographs taken comfortable. Everyone was EXTREMELY pleased with the photographs she took. She is 1000% worth it.

It all started when… We met. 12 years ago. We were 16. I was an artist. Cody was a rebel. A million things have changed since then, Ups and downs, loops, twists, and turns. We are different people now and I would rather tell you about who we are… We started our family young and had a gorgeous little girl. Since then we have gained a small zoo of 7 pets.

I loved Jenna and her husband were wonderful!! They made taking the pictures so easy, they stuck with us when we climbed down a mountain in the dark, and they were the most easy laid back people to work with! If I had questions, she would answer in a timely manner as well! I really appreciate everything that she did and our engagement and preview photos are everything that I would want and more! I would hire her again and again.

Heather Florance Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Chaplin, KY

Hey hey you lovebirds! I'm Heather, a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in Louisville, Kentucky but my bags are packed and I'm ready to follow you to the wildest corners of the earth to photograph your love story! I make photographic art for the dreamers, the adventure seekers, and the wildly in love! I am addicted to the poetic mixture of laughter, light, true love, and raw emotion. Do you have an authentic love story to tell? I will pour my entire heart and soul into helping you document it.

Heather and Arnaud are truly THE BEST! I saw her bright, gorgeous photos on a Louisville Wedding Forum when I started planning and I was floored when she said she was available and would to travel to Colorado for us! From the moment we ran into them the day before the wedding at a brewery, they felt like old friends. Heather didn't hesitate to come sit with our group when we invited her over and she was so fun, we asked her and Arnaud to come to our group dinner that night. They showed up and were immediately friends with everyone. One thing I learned quickly about Heather and Arnaud was that they will adapt to any situation they are in, and you can't scare them away! Heather and Arnaud made the entire experience warm, comfortable, and stress free. Heather went above and beyond in every way imaginable. There were so many moments when I felt overwhelmed because of running late, or when I forgot my bouquet or when someone was already getting married at our originally planned elopement spot, so I asked her to just step in and take charge and that is exactly what she did. She continuously reassured me not to worry about the time, she picked the perfect wedding spot, and after our ceremony, she even climbed through the bushes and created an arrangement from nearby foliage that matched the setting perfectly! Throughout the day, Heather and Arnaud paid attention to every little thing, ensuring each guest was beautifully captured in photos, which was a special request of mine. She always made sure my hair was in place, provided lip gloss when I needed it, and directed us on all the perfect spots to go for photos, even though she had never even been to that location before. Heather had already asked thoughtful questions before the wedding, so she knew exactly what we wanted. The photos were better than anything I could have ever imagined, capturing not only the big moments but all the small, intimate ones that made the day and trip so special. Everyone we have run into since posting the photos online has been gushing about how insanely beautiful they are! There was another elopement photographer couple that I had followed on social media for years, hoping one day I would be able to afford their outrageous prices to hire them for our wedding. However looking back and comparing the two, I would choose Heather and Arnaud's photos and style a million times before I would choose the other photographers now. We feel so incredibly lucky to have found these two and I couldn't recommend them enough, especially if you want to travel and do something different than the traditional stuffy wedding. They are so fun, experts at what they do, and they will make whatever your vision is happen!

In the Shade Photography

Providing happy & sappy couples with vibrant & romantic photographs! We're married high school sweethearts, just celebrated out 13th anniversary, and through out the years of our own relationship, we have learned how important it is to have photos of us to look back on. Photos that show the true us - the laughing, the yearning, the joy and comfort we feel in each others arms. We started photographing ourselves on a point and shoot camera in high school. Fast forward to today, we've upgraded our gear and get to shoot other sappily in love couples (and still make sure to get photos of ourselves along the way)

We were pointed towards In The Shade by some mutual friends. Lily and Justin knocked our October 2024 wedding out of the park! Communication was timely, done over some Zoom calls which allowed us to look at each other and really talk things through. Expectations were set, a plan was executed, and we felt very very satisfied. They were very creative in the ideas they had and super helpful in creating something that fit our vision for the day. Would definitely use them again. Thanks guys!

They were both professional and personable and made our day that much better. I have no doubts that the quality of our photos will match the quality of our experience with them.

Eivan's made our wedding day wonderful! Alexander Schmidt was our photographer, and our videographer was Noah. We got our pictures back sooner than expected, and they suited the exact style we had hoped for. Communication was great, photos were easy to access, and we were allowed free download for so many pictures! One family portrait had one person not looking, otherwise people were smiling and looking in everything. Many people commented on their professionalism as well as their kindness at the wedding. Thanks, Eivan's!

Hi! My name is Mae, and I live in Brooklyn with my girlfriend, our two dogs Apollo and Bia, her cat Gigi and my lizard, Basil! I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

Awarded Best of Zola
I came across Mae’s work when looking for a photographer for engagement photos in Central Park, and I was immediately impressed with Mae and knew we were going to be incredibly happy with the results. Mae responded immediately to all my questions, day or night, and took the time to video chat with me at length twice before the shoot to discuss what we were looking for in our photos. Before the shoot, I had sent her a few examples of what I liked, and not only did the photos come out exactly how I wanted them, but were even more perfect than I envisioned. The engagement shoot itself was so much fun, and Mae made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process, despite us thinking we’d both feel awkward getting posed photos of us taken. Mae truly had a vision for what poses, locations, and lighting would work, and the execution was perfect. Some of the feedback we got from our friends was that the photos looked like a magazine, and that they were “ethereal.” Even better, Mae somehow got us the edited photos back within 24 hours of the shoot. Her pricing is also incredibly reasonable given the quality of her work, meticulousness, and experience in photography, as well as the very quick turnaround time. My fiance and I truly cannot recommend her enough, and we are excited to work with her again in the future. She is truly an artist, and any couple would be incredibly lucky to work with her!
