I‘m Patrick Abanathy: husband, Western Kentucky native, international traveler, lover of gardening, baking, indie/world rock (even the new stuff) and, finally, great 80s pop! I grew up in this area and am never at a loss when it comes to the many beautiful wedding settings found in and around this wonderful place. Second to my amazing wife, Elizabeth, photography has been my passion for more than 25 years and wedding photography has been my life since 2013.

My husband is my second photographer, so we come as a photo team! Just like you, I have felt awkward in front of the camera. I’ve had photos taken of me that I didn’t like. When you go on a session with me, I will not only make you feel comfortable, but I will make sure you look good! I will give you prompts to keep you moving so you look and feel natural and comfortable. I’m sorry but there are some angles, and poses that are not flattering for everyone. Like, please don’t take a photo of me from below! Hello double chin! What I’m saying is, I Got You!

Awarded Best of Zola
PictureMeThisByLacie was one of the best decisions we made throughout the wedding process. Lacie was amazing to work with the entire time. She was easy to communicate with and kept us updated on our photo timelines, not to mention all of our photos turned about AMAZING. Our package included an engagement session and Lacie worked out a weekend she was already in Chicago to accommodate us. Leading up to our session, we had issues with controlled fires and protests in our preferred location, but Lacie found us a spot that blew my expectations for photos out of the water. She gave us a sneak peak and also got our pictures back to us super quick. On our big day, Lacie and Tim(her husband/second photographer) were the best to work with. They made us feel comfortable and captured our day better than we could have imagined. As soon as they got there, they got straight to work. Lacie got all the details and getting ready photos that I will cherish forever. Things were running behind the day of and they let us add on an hour to our contract the day of and pay at a later date. This ensured that we got dance floor photos and it was so worth it! Specifically getting pictures of my husband's grandmother in her 80s dancing with all her grandkids. We received a sneak peak very quickly and our whole (massive) gallery less than 2 months after the wedding. For as many photos as we got, this was a crazy quick turn around. Overall, PictureMeThisByLacie captured our day better than we could have ever imagined, we could not recommend them more!

Debra Aslanidis Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Salem, KY

We specialize in documentary-style micro weddings and elopements, which means we focus on capturing your day as it naturally unfolds. Instead of staging or posing moments, we observe and photograph the real, unscripted emotions, connections, and intimate details that make your celebration unique. Our goal is to tell your love story authentically, preserving the genuine moments that reflect the true essence of your special day.

My husband and I were beyond impressed with our entire experience with Debra Aslanidis Photography. From start to finish Debra made my experience as a bride so smooth and stress-free. Wedding planning can be a stressful process, but Debra provided excellent communication about what to expect leading up to the wedding and the day of, so we felt very at ease the entire time. When I ran into an unrelated issue (a problem with another vendor), Debra reached out and sent me recommendations and offered support while I dealt with the situation. It was unbelievably kind and not at all expected, but it really made me feel cared for and I appreciated Debra going above and beyond for me! On the day of our wedding, Debra and her partner Jeremy were absolutely phenomenal. For one, they worked so perfectly together. We had guests complimenting how well they worked and coordinated together! I seriously can’t thank them enough for not only being amazing photographers, but also helping with other tasks that they voluntarily did. I seriously felt like they assumed the role of our wedding coordinators at times, since we didn’t have one, by providing suggestions and opinions since they’re the experienced ones when it comes to weddings! I couldn’t be more thankful for their confidence and comfortability in doing so! Finally, I am seriously blown away by the fact that we got our photos about a month after our wedding day! Debra has worked weddings, engagement shoots, and other photoshoots every single weekend and has a family, yet still managed to bust her butt to finish our photos, and it was the best surprise to get our photos back right before celebrating one month of marriage. I am so in love with our photos and have looked at them every single day, multiple times a day, since getting them back. Photos are the one thing you keep from your wedding day (besides your memories!), and I am absolutely in love with the final photos! The editing is beautiful, and I’m so happy we prioritized finding a photographer who emphasizes the behind-the-scenes and candid moments. I love that our pictures are 100% in the moment and capture the real, raw emotions of everyone! There were several detailed shots of our venue and decor and I love those just as much as I love the ones of me, my husband, our families, and our friends! They’re all so stunning!! Our photos made me laugh, cry, audibly say “awww,” and smile the biggest, cheesy grin. I absolutely believe your photographer is one of the most important vendors you choose for your wedding day, and I would 1000% recommend Debra Aslanidis Photography to everyone I know!!

Mae was an absolute pleasure to work with. I knew I liked her from the very first call. She was thorough and asked good questions to make sure she could capture what we wanted. I love the vintage-inspired look of the photos and video. She communicated when she said she would and I always received a quick response to any questions or messages I had. On the wedding day, I couldn’t imagine anyone who would make it as special as Mae did. She was more than a photographer- she helped me put on myself shoes, hyped up all the little details I stressed months over, and was just such a joy. I cannot recommend Mae enough. I loved all the photos and the video made me cry. Mae is the type of person you want to be friends with after everything is done. Trust me, book Mae!!

  • Starts at $4,800
  • Serves Salem, KY

I’m Jaimee—a storyteller, world traveler, and lover of old stuff. With over 100 weddings photographed, I’ve learned that wedding days are about presence > perfection. My documentary-style photography is honest, fun, and rooted in telling your story exactly as it unfolds—raw, real, and beautifully yours. I’m passionate about capturing the moments that matter most: your partner’s look during the vows, friends dancing like no one’s watching, and those in-between moments you might miss but will cherish forever. When I’m not behind the camera, I’m immersed in nature, treasure hunting in antique shops, or planning my next adventure.

There are truly not enough words in the English language to describe how much I admire and recommend Jaimee for any and all of your photography needs. From the moment we met, we knew she was the perfect choice. As a fellow photographer, I met Jaimee over an online forum on facebook and we hit it off immediately. She was incredibly attentive, open to hearing what a valued for my day, and was all around a joy to work with. Jaimee is a wonderful planner and is ALWAYS prepared which perfectly soothed my anxieties leading up to our day of. Her documentary-style photography captured every raw, beautiful, and unscripted moment—moments we didn’t even realize were happening at the time. Looking through our photos feels like reliving the day all over again. The laughter, the quiet glances, the happy tears—every emotion is preserved in the most authentic and breathtaking way. Nothing felt staged or forced; instead, Jaimee blended into the day so seamlessly, allowing us to just be ourselves. She is quiet, fun, silly, calming presence that truly made my day so much easier. I truly and wholeheartedly believe I could not have done it without her. Not only is her talent unmatched, but she is also a joy to be around—calm, kind, and incredibly professional. Her team made us feel completely at ease, which truly shows in the photos. Jaimee goes above and beyond when selecting those she works with. This truly shone when minutes before walking down the aisle, her assistant,Shelby, re-curled my hair to ensure I looked my best after the rain had made it fall. Jaimee went above and beyond to make sure I felt prepared and confident the entire day. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who will tell your love story with honesty, artistry, and heart, look no further. Thank you sweet friend, for giving us the greatest gift—the ability to step back into these moments for years to come. We are forever grateful and cannot wait to book with you again in the future!

I’m thrilled to meet you and start creating a connection! I began photographing weddings four years ago and quickly realized the most meaningful moments are unscripted—raw, emotional, and unforgettable. Capturing these authentic experiences is my passion. With a background as an outdoor educator and a wilderness therapist, I bring a unique perspective and skill set to wedding photography. Whether guiding backpacking trips or earning a Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, each chapter of my life has shaped my ability to support couples with humor, care, and creativity. Let’s capture your day exactly as it unfolds!

I chose Foxtail to take our family pictures, our first picture with our new baby. These were supposed to be very special photos that I was to cherish forever. Before even speaking over the phone, or getting pricing, I chose her because I LOVED her editing style. I knew she was the one. However after speaking to her over the phone my choice was 100000% solidified. So friendly, informative, flexible, creative, and open-minded. She did not bat an eye or show frustration towards me when I changed our shoot location multiple times. Our session was absolutely perfect. She makes you so comfortable in front of the camera & will even fix your hair !! and when we received our gallery, I was blown away by the quality of her work and just how beautiful our photos turned out.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about my wedding photo shoot. The professionalism and the making sure we had what we wanted was on point. So patient with me and my bride during a very chaotic day. He made sure that everything was covered before he lady for the evening and the sneak peek of our photos has left us in a world of excitement for what is to come with the rest. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants a their wedding day to be captured in every perfect way.

I am the owner and head photographer of Lu's Lens Photography. I do 95% of the work with the exception of the occasional 2nd photographer or editor. And hey, I know how to run a business, too! I graduated from Northwood University with a Bachelors in Business, but there's no teaching an eye for photography - I see the moment before it even happens. I build out all the wedding timelines with my couples, so I'm on top of your details just as much as you. I travel everywhere but mainly in Michigan and Tennessee.

I worked along side Hannah as a videographer for a wedding in Benton Harbor, MI. Working with her was a great experience. Not only was she nice, easy to talk to, and fun to work with, but she is very good at what she does. It was a pleasure shooting along side her and I hope we get the chance to work together again!

Lexie Photog Story-driven wedding photography with an editorial twist. Lexie Photog is all about capturing real moments—with a touch of artistry. Blending a documentary approach with creative prompts and modern posing, Lexie tells wedding day stories exactly as they unfold—authentic, emotional, and beautifully composed. Based in Missouri and always ready to travel, I know when to step back and let the moment breathe, and when to guide you with prompts that bring out natural connection (and killer portraits). The result? Timeless, cinematic images that feel like you. No awkward poses. No stiff smiles.

Working with Lexie was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From our very first conversation, she brought a sense of calm, professionalism, and genuine care that made us feel completely at ease. On the wedding day, she moved with such grace, present, but never intrusive. It felt like she was everywhere and nowhere all at once, quietly documenting every meaningful moment. Her eye for detail is extraordinary. She captured the big, beautiful scenes. our ceremony under the trees, our first dance in golden light, but also the quiet, intimate ones we might have missed: a hand squeeze, a teary glance, a laugh caught mid-air. Every photo tells a part of our story, and looking through them feels like reliving the day all over again. Lexie has a rare talent. Not just for photography, but for people. Her ability to make us feel seen, celebrated, and completely ourselves was truly special. We’ll cherish these photos forever, and we’re endlessly grateful for her artistry and heart.

We are a photo and cinema team. Our niche is weddings, fashion and quinceaneras. We love what we do and our foundation is Jesus. Without Him we would not be here. We are a destination team as well. We travel the U.S. and abroad.

Words cannot fully express the gratitude we feel for the incredible team behind R&R Productions! From the moment we met them during our engagement shoot, they instantly made us feel at ease, turning what could have been a nerve-wracking experience into something genuinely fun and unforgettable. Their warm personalities, unmatched professionalism, and creative vision were evident right from the start. When it came to our wedding day—the most important day of our lives—they didn’t just capture moments; they captured the very essence of love, joy, and celebration that surrounded us. They didn’t feel like vendors; they felt like family, celebrating alongside us while documenting each precious second. They even covered us in prayer, which meant so much to us. Raphael worked through an injury without us knowing, simply because he didn’t want us to adjust anything for him. That level of dedication and selflessness left us in awe. They don’t just take pictures and record videos; they weave a story from the beginning to the end, preserving the magic and emotions in a way that’s truly extraordinary. And I just don’t even know where to begin with Rasheeda. We met through a Facebook post I replied to—one I initially thought was a scam. Boy, was I wrong! She and I ended up talking that very same day for over an hour, and it felt like we’d known each other forever. From the start, it was never just a business transaction; it felt like family helping to prepare for the big moments in life. Her warmth and genuine care meant everything to us. I don’t know what I did to be so lucky to have crossed paths with this amazing team, but I am forever grateful that we did. I honestly feel like I should keep them on retainer for every milestone in life because I cannot imagine anyone else being able to document such meaningful moments with the care and dedication they do. Choosing them was one of the best decisions we made, and we couldn’t recommend them more highly! Jerome and I are so grateful for the both of you.
