Hey, I'm Mary! It's nice to meet you. Summing up who I am in an "about me" is always difficult. What you must know: (1) I'm a nerd. If you want to talk video games, LOTR or Doctor Who, we HAVE to sit down for a bourbon or a coffee. (2) Yes, I will be out on that dance floor with you snapping away while joining in on the fun. And (3), while I'm a photographer first, supporting you during the planning process feels crucial to me - from building a timeline to having your back any way I can. Woman/LGBTQIA+ Owned

“Mary was with us through our proposal, engagement, and wedding journey. She captured all of our special moments so perfectly. She is professional and always communicated with us to deliver us her best work!! We couldn’t have asked for a better person to capture our most perfect memories.”

Hi there! I'm born and raised in Louisville, KY and have taken my Bachelors degree in Photography into my photography business! I photograph everything from newborns to weddings, and even a 100th birthday party! I've loved every moment of every event, and I am thrilled to continue this for many more years.

“I hired Kyle to take our wedding photos for our July 3rd, 2021 destination wedding and he delivered a breathtaking album! I love his use of color and editing style. He captured so many beautiful moments and the vibe of the wedding day shined through each picture. He was so professional, fun, and creative on the day. He guided us through poses when the time was right. When we were in the moment having fun, I swear I didn't even know he was near us taking pictures, because he is so stealthy! He worked so hard and really bonded with all our guests at the wedding. His presence is so calming. He will make sure you pose in flattering ways and kept in mind the areas that I was self conscious about while shooting. He made all the photo taking that comes with a wedding FUN to do and not laborious. He is just the best there is! I am a wedding planner by profession and my standards were high with all the vendors we chose for our big day. Kyle hit it out of the park and has this wedding planner/bride's seal of approval! He has won our business for a lifetime and will be at all the major milestones from here on out for our family. Hire him for your wedding before someone else does!!! If I could give him more stars, I would!”

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.

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 was a joy to work with! She has a special ability to capture your emotions in a photo. My husband and I don't like being in front of the camera, but made it so much fun and comfortable. She manages to catch moments you miss, like your groomsmen goofing off to the side or small moments with your significant other. She will capture what you want and so much more. The pictures are stunning and we couldn't be happier!”

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.”

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.

“Where to start, where to start… There are just so many good things I can say. Working with Adam was so refreshing, effortless, and fun! I’ll break down my review in a couple different areas. 1. Professional, but never stiff – Adam is a joy to work with. He has perfected the balance between professional but still lighthearted and fun. It’s all about the photos and the process, but yes, we will gab about Dungeons & Dragons in between photos. I felt the ease and comfort of working with a close friend, but the confidence and assurance of working with a seasoned professional. As someone who can be awkward in photos, this made all the difference, and I was able to relax and enjoy the wedding and know that I’m going to get good photos. 2. Personable – Again, I felt like I was working with a friend, but never in a way that I felt I wasn’t getting professional services. We can laugh, joke, and then discuss timelines and money in the same breath without issue. He took the time to get to know me and my wife and really cater our engagement session to represent us. We did a Dungeons & Dragons theme and it was so fun, especially because he totally understands and plays the game as well so it was great to geek out about it and get some fantastic photos. But you can easily tell he was genuinely interested in us and making this a perfect experience for us, not putting us into a mold that worked best for him. 3. Technical Ability – the photos really speak for themselves and his technical ability. His use of lighting, angles, focus, and catching those candid moments is amazing. You can just tell that he knows his way around his equipment and had created a seamless process for capturing an event. It really was seamless – while I was catching up with friends at the wedding, he’s setting up a photo station for those staged, family photos. He ushered all us in, got us set up, knocked out the photos, and then tore everything down and was back to the ceremony before I even realized I wanted him to get a photo of something else. I had the thought of “Oh, I want to get this” and boom, he’s already there. He had great ideas for photos, too, which was super helpful as I’m not really creative that way. As someone who needs a bit more direction in how to pose and facial expressions, Adam has a gentle, polite manner. But the fact that he took the time to say, “Hey, can you lift your chin a little?” or “Can you relax your shoulders just a tad?” was comforting because it shows he’s looking at the whole picture and thinking about how the client will feel about how they look in the picture. The little things that maybe seem “picky” or not “that important” can make all the difference, and he makes sure that the person in the photo is going to be their most flattering selves. So, yeah, 5/5 stars, thumbs up, would 100% recommend. Prices are fair and payment systems worked really well for us. I never felt like I would be cheated out of anything. I definitely got my money’s worth and then some. Turn-around time for photos was spot-on. I got married on 2/28/2021, and got a sneak-peek a few days later with polished, sharp, amazing photos.”

I have been photographing as a hobby for over 15 years. Three years ago I took a job as an assistant for a Wedding Photographer and I was hooked. Starting out as an assistant I learned a lot about lighting and how to pose clients but also the importance of when to give couples their distance and let the moment happen naturally. A year later I started second shooting for other photographers and started branching out on my own. Now, 3 years later I have started my own business photographing weddings, boudoir, private bridal sessions and more. I love that creativity through the art of photography has not limits.

“Wonderful experience!! Brittany helped me and my husband feel really special on our day! Turn around time on photos was lightening fast. We got so much positive feedback on our pictures, I immediately booked her again to take pictures of my parents for their 40th anniversary! She even bought them a gift. Very sweet, would use again!!”

Natalie and her teams photos are just that. While she was who did all our final edits, she was not able to be present on my wedding day. Instead two girls who she works closely with did my wedding photos. I was a bit nervous about this at first but after working with Natalie I put full trust that her recommendations would not let me down.

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.”

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!”

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.
