Hi! We are Rob and Michelle, we are a couple in love! And our favorite thing to do is photograph other couples in love! We met in college and started dating very soon after, what started as a friendship turned into true love. Photography is our life and passion. We love photography in all of it's variety. When we are not photographing clients we love searching out unique spots for fine art photographs. Rob loves creating images of old churches, barns and landscapes and I love the little microscopic world that lives in the wildflower fields.

I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

Their exceptional, professional, and quick work captured the essence of our special day perfectly. Sean was laid back and brought great energy to our wedding, seamlessly capturing all the important moments without ever being intrusive. We had nothing but a positive and truly exceptional experience working with Sean from start to finish. Not only were our photos top-notch, but he took the time to get to know us as a couple and was able to beautifully document all the candid, unscripted moments that made our wedding day so memorable. I'd give Sean 10 stars if I could!

Anna Elisabeth Photography

I specialize in capturing authentic moments and genuine emotions through a storytelling + editorial style approach - I celebrate the beauty of moments that sing, people who dance, and the essence of love. I can promise every shot will tell a tale that lingers in the heart! I cannot wait to tell your story!!

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!

These ladies are phenomenal! We hired them for our wedding and it was one of the best decisions we made for our day. From our first chat over zoom, we knew instantly that we could trust them and that they would capture us, not just a one-size-fits-all deal. They truly capture each couple in their own unique way and you can tell just by looking at their work. I’m so glad we did an engagement shoot first, because it got all the nerves out for us and we got to build more of a relationship with them before our day. We are not people who like being in front of cameras, but their enthusiasm and professionalism put us, especially me, at instant ease! The photos turned out great even with it being an unforcasted rainy and unusually hot fall day. And the wedding, holy moly! They had to wrangle all sorts of family dynamics and chaos while still taking beautiful photos in the rain. Not sure how that happened, but they made it all seem so easy and we had so much fun with them! We didn’t have to worry about a thing! …Not one thing! We received our first look photos in no time after the wedding and we are in love already. Can’t wait to see the rest! We will definitely be contacting them again in the future. Wherever you are in your photographer search (and reading reviews like this), just stop and set up a chat now. You will not be disappointed!

She listened to our preferences but also had wonderful ideas of her own, guiding us seamlessly through the process.

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!

When we got married in 2007, our only regret is that we didn’t hire a wedding photographer. We had a few friends bring their cameras and thought that would be good enough. Our photos are fine, they are enough to help us remember what happened, but they don’t fully capture US. What we have isn’t quite wall-worthy, except that’s all we’ve got. We want more for you! You want to love your story, to love your photos and appreciate them years from now when you’re sharing stories with your grandkids gathered around. You will want your memories hung forever where you can see them to remember your beautiful day!

Daniel was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. I was thrilled by the quality of our pictures. He was easy and comfortable to be around and felt more like a trusted friend through the whole process rather than someone I'd hired to take our pictures. I can't recommend his work enough. He made the whole process so easy, and I will treasure the pictures for a lifetime.

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. 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!

Hi there! I want to first say that I am pleased that you're here. I am happily married to my husband, Nick. Together, we have a little girl that we call Jojo. I have been a photographer for 5 years now, and my passion is wedding photography. I love to shoot during the golden hour and catch as many candid and timeless photos. If you don't see me with my family, you'll catch me at target or in the Dunkin' drive thru getting an iced coffee.

We had Angeliccaa at our venue for a wedding in July and she was amazing! So friendly and easy to work with. At one point I saw her on the dance floor holding a child dancing so I asked how long she had been friends with the family, and she responded she hadn’t met then before that day! That’s customer service for sure!! We look forward to the next time she’s back at our venue!

I'm Abbey a Northern Kentucky-based photographer who loves making a safe and comfortable space for everyone while we work together. Capturing those beautiful candid moments are some of my favorite shots. I can't wait to capture your special day so you can forever relive those magical moments.

Of all the good decisions my wife and I made during our wedding planning, of which there were surprisingly many, hiring Abbey and Wes with Laurel Roots Photography was the best one. Warning: Long, gushing review ahead. I am naturally suspicious of photographers owing to a lot of bad experiences. Being a guy probably adds to that; I don't think dudes are generally as comfortable being photographed as non-dudes. A lot of photographers I've experienced in the past have been super serious, love to make me do silly poses, and/or just don't do enough good work to be worth the cost, in my opinion. Photographers generally make me uncomfortable. Abbey and Wes could not have been more perfect for our wedding if they had meant to be. From the get-go, they were super communicative and easy to work with. We did our engagement photos super late in the game due to immigration constraints, and Abbey didn't stress about that at all. We scheduled with her easily, and when we had to reschedule and re-reschedule, she didn't mind at all. Both photo days were very easy and laid back. Abbey and Wes are very chill and open people. They're good at their jobs without being serious about it. They made the photoshoots fun, and for me that's a superpower. There were no goofy poses (except the ones we decided to do because we were comfortable around Abbey and Wes). I was very happy with our engagement photos and was actually looking forward to the wedding shoot. I do not exaggerate when I say that Abbey and Wes ran our wedding day for us. They gave us a timeline and made sure we got everything done on time. This is not an extra service we paid for, they just know their stuff and do their jobs well. I didn't really even appreciate it all until after the wedding when I realized they basically served as wedding coordinators for us without us asking them to. They took a ton of stress off of us and we didn't even know they were doing it. That's not all the extra work they did. Most people will just do the job you give them and take your check. I mean, that's what doing the job is. Not Abbey and Wes. The day of our wedding, they took time out of the day of their own initiative to drive around the city and find the perfect spot for photos. Again, this was not expected or requested, they just did it because they're awesome. I guess I just expected to take photos at the venue, but they got all the wedding party and family wrangled together and took us to a great spot in Covington I'd never seen. And the photos turned out fantastic. I know I'm biased, but they're seriously some of the best wedding photos I've ever seen, and we paid half of what my sisters paid for theirs. You know your photographers are good when your guests are talking about them during the reception. I seriously cannot recommend Abbey and Wes enough. I will use them for any and all photoshoots I ever need until the end of time. My wedding day was an amazing experience, and I owe a lot of that to Abbey and Wes. They went far above and beyond what we expected, and the memories we have from the wedding will last of a lifetime. Those memories wouldn't shine nearly so bright without such great photographers.

I could not more highly recommend Kristen! Kristen was one of the very first vendors that I booked for my August 2024 wedding and I could not be more happy in that decision. Kristen's style is timeless and true to color. She focuses on capturing the day as it happens rather than focusing only on super posed shots- which I love! Kristen's communication is clear, prompt, and honest- I so appreciated her insight through the wedding planning process and especially in developing the timeline. We also received far more sneak peeks than we expected and I'm still shocked with how quickly we received our full gallery! Kristen, we are so happy you were there to capture our day!

Leah photographed our wedding at my family's property in Napa Valley, June 2024. Leah took lots of time to scope out the location and seemed to be absolutely *everywhere* during the wedding, at all the right moments. I didn't have to call her over once, because she was already there. She captured the emotions of the day, the little moments, the big moments, and made our day look like the fairytale wedding that it felt like. Once we got the photo gallery back (so quickly!) we relived the day all over again. We were tearing up and laughing at all the photos. I felt like I was looking at photos from a Brides magazine, but it was me! Another thing I'll mention is that Leah gives direction in a kind, calm and encouraging way. My husband is not too confident in photos and he felt SO comfortable posing with her there, and loves his photos too! I felt like she could guide me into more flattering poses when I felt uncertain about my angles. I love Leah and her work and would recommend her to anyone!

What if your photos actually looked and felt like you? Picture yourself 10 years from now on your wedding anniversary looking back at your wedding album with tears welling up in your eyes as you relive your day. Your wedding should not feel like a performance. Let go of boring wedding traditions, think outside of the box and create something unique that has never been done before. Whatever the perfect day looks like for you, why shouldn’t that be your wedding day? I am more than your wedding photographer, I am your guide, biggest fan, and the curator of your love story, I will also be the one tearing up from behind my lens.

Danielle went above and beyond to make sure that my husband and I had the perfect wedding day. Within minutes of our first video call with Danielle, we were sure that she was the perfect fit for our special day. She has such a personal touch about her that really stood out to us immediately - she was so interested in getting to know us as a couple and as individuals. Continually throughout our wedding planning process, Danielle would check in with us to answer any questions we had, offer suggestions and advice when needed and discuss our visions for our wedding day. She brought all our wedding day visions to life through her photography and beyond that, she brought a calming, fun-loving and positive energy. She captured so many special memories on our wedding day - the raw emotion, the candid moments, the beautiful landscapes, the laughs and everything in between. By the end of the day, my husband and I, and our guests, felt like Danielle was apart of the family. When we got our sneak peak photos back, it was impossible for us to choose favorites because every photo is just incredible. I cannot say enough good things about Danielle. She is incredibly talented at what she does and she is such a kind and caring person. She exceeded our expectations in SO many ways and we are so thankful that we chose her to be apart of our wedding day.

Maurissa is such an amazing human being! We could not have asked for anyone better to be our wedding photographer! We knew we loved her the minute we met her for our engagement session last winter. She is very outgoing, friendly and honest! She has been very responsive in communication from the beginning. Maurissa goes above and beyond just being a photographer. She made sure everything was lined up, provided a timeline for all the vendors, made sure to get every "must have" photo. Maurissa also helped make sure we enjoyed OUR day. I was very worried about the timeline and being behind on everything but she made sure to remind me that there is no timeline and this was our special day so anything we wanted she would make happen and the guests would be okay entertaining themselves until we were ready! We also got our sneak peaks back already and are so obsessed and cannot wait to see the rest. Maurissa will definitely be showing up in our future because we love her!!

Since 2013, I’ve been capturing love stories in a way that’s timeless, authentic, and uniquely yours. Whether it’s a quiet elopement or a big celebration, my approach blends classic elegance with photojournalistic storytelling. More than photography, it's about building trust and celebrating love in all its beautiful forms—honoring every culture, story, and connection.

My husband and I flew Golden Hour Images to Utah for our wedding and it was worth every single penny!! Golden Hour Images was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! From the very beginning, their communication was super consistent and they listened to everything we wanted. The photographer, Jenna, did an amazing job and just her sneak peaks had my husband, me and my family absolutely balling. She did the best job at capturing all our sensitive moments and made us feel and look absolutely beautiful throughout the day. Jenna listened to exactly what we wanted and exceeded all of our expectations - our wedding photos are stunning and we will cherish them forever. We cannot recommend Golden Hour Images enough!
