My wedding wouldn't be the same without Ashley Ellis! For some background, I booked my wedding at Boondocks Barn & Lodge in Knightstown IN and it was HORRIBLE! The venue staff was so rude, there were flies EVERYWHERE on the grounds swarming us during our ceremony, and the day of coordinators skipped over special parts of my day such as my bouquet toss. When I think back on what my favorite part of my wedding day was... it was the times with my photographer. Ashley checked in with me throughout the day, and had an emergency kit on hand for anything I needed that I forgot to pack. My venue staff was stressing me out, but when I was alone with Ashley she would remind me that today was all about me and to smile and have fun, and it showed in my photos! During our private couples photos, it was so nice to escape the chaos of everything else and just be with my partner as my photographer captured moment of our love. The hour of private couples photos was honestly the BEST PART of our entire day! Not only did my photographer have to endure the abuse of my venue staff, but when we were running behind and would miss the time to capture photos of our sparklers, she stayed extra to make sure we captured all our special moments. She went above and beyond and was hands down the best part of my wedding experience! I will recommend her forever & always!!!! BOOK HER PLEASE!!! And your wedding photos and memories will be magical!

We are Caitlin and Dejan (pronounced Dayin), we met each other in high school and we’ve been together ever since (time flies when you’re having fun!). Photography is something that we both have always had a passion for, and it wasn’t until we started to plan our own wedding that we realized we wanted to turn our passion into a career. Aside from photography, we love to spend time with our two dogs, Stella and Blaire. They are Australian Shepherds with HUGE personalities, and they are a big part of our lives. We are excited to start this journey and we can’t wait to become friends with you during it!

I am an avid yogi, podcast lover, and travel enthusiast. I first picked up a camera at the age of 15 and fell in love with the art of photography.

HI there! My name is Natalie and I own Natalie Kathryn Photo! I love having the privilege to capture you on the best day of your life! I absolutely love weddings and being able to be there for every part of your day!

Wedding photos were such an important part in planning my wedding. I wanted to make sure I was investing in something high quality and would match the editing style my husband and I prefer. 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. We are so thrilled with our sneak peaks and are so glad we trusted this team. Everyone was so great in making sure we got the posed photos we wanted but also capturing moments as they happened. Looking forward to receiving our full gallery. If anyone is looking for bright and romantic photos, look no further.

Pottinger Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Stanford, KY

What if you could stop time and hold it in your hand? I heard that I could have superpowers when I was very young and that is when I knew I would become a photographer. Using an old girl scout camera found at a garage sale, my father taught me the rules of photography and composition. On weekends we would go for photo adventures. From old cemeteries to Civil War reenactments to Dawn at the Downs, we always had fun practicing photography. In high school, I took a newspaper class and learned how to develop photos in the darkroom. At college, I fell in love with art graphic design. Throughout my life, photography has always been there.

Brenda Pottinger, the woman behind Pottinger Photography and the camera, has an eye for beauty and detail. Her unique ability to capture the essence of the event and her attention to detail set her apart in the world of photography. Pottinger Photography has completed two styled shoots at The Landing at Brush Creek, and both times, we received stunning photos that highlighted the treed landscape and three-acre lake. Her indoor photography is equally impressive. She has an eye for color, decor, and light. Brenda is pleasant, creative, and energetic. Pottinger Photography captures precious moments and produces an upscale product. We highly recommend that they photograph all your special occasions.

There’s something to be said about understanding another person. Sometimes you experience it in conversation. You know the feeling: interactions that leave you and that other person thinking, wow; we just said the Exact. Same. Thing. But if you’re lucky it’ll go deeper; understanding that person so much that you begin to anticipate what they may say or do. It's what makes our partnership so strong. As brothers, we understand each other, and we feel it shows in our work. But our greatest joy comes from sharing our work with you. To have all the memories of your day come flooding back to you in waves is magical, and it never gets old.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are one of the lucky one's. No matter how excited one might be about celebrating the best day of your life, it can still be rather stressful and intimidating to have someone taking pictures of you at every turn. Yes I know that's the whole point in hiring a Photography... but it can be stressful nonetheless. However, these guys has a way of taking the stress out of the process. Breighton & Basette are the most personable people that I've ever met! They made my wife and I feel totally comfortable just being ourselves while they kind of faded off into the background but somehow managed to capture the most absolute AMAZING shots of us! We are so happy that Breighton & Basette had our date available. Booking them was the second best decision I made for my wedding, the best decision was choosing my wife, of course. (I hope everyone understands why I had to explain that, lol!) But seriously if you want to guarantee that your special day is captured perfectly, book Breighton & Basette! You will be so happy you did and when it's all said and done you can join us and others as one of the "Lucky One's".

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.

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 has captured a ton of real proposals/engagements for my clients, as well as weddings and does a great job. His attention to details is perfect and he is a very skilled photographer. Styling is more bold and colorful, not moody or light/airy. Daniel delivers very full and detailed galleries very quickly compared to industry standards. The Smyths are so nice and caring and are great people to work with.

I’m very big on candid moments and in between of your wedding day, from the little looks from across the room, to grandpa breaking it down on the dance floor.

Savanah Marie Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with on our wedding day. From the beginning, their communication was easy-going, clear, and consistent, which put us at ease throughout the planning process. On the day itself, Savanah was so considerate - it was freezing outside, which made it difficult to take photos, but she gave us ample breaks to warm up and recover from the unrelenting wind. She also made sure to capture all the poses I had requested. While we haven't received the full collection back yet, the sneak peeks we've seen are absolutely captivating and such high-quality. The photos beautifully capture our love story and the beauty of our wedding day. I have never felt more beautiful and my husband feels the exact same way.

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!

Hi! My name is Lydia and I'm a Nashville Wedding Photographer. While I'm based in Tennessee, I'm more than willing to travel well beyond that. My photography style is light, bright and true to life. My goal is to make you feel at ease in front of the camera and provide photos that you can cherish for the many years to come. We will always take traditional posed photos, but you can expect to receive lots of candid moments in your final gallery. Feel free to reach out and let me know more about you and your vision for your wedding day.

Lydia and her assistant Lanie photographed our wedding at my grandparent’s house. They were both prompt, friendly, professional, and they took the most BEAUTIFUL photos!! All of our guests enjoyed interacting with them, and I am seriously going to have a hard time narrowing down my top favorites because the photos are just fantastic. Lydia even delivered our gallery ahead of schedule! I highly recommend her :)
