Mackensie was incredibly professional, interacting positively with our guests and made everyone feel comfortable with getting their photos taken.

  • Serves Stanford, KY

Ever since I can remember, I've been captivated by the power of a single moment to tell a whole story. As a wedding photographer, I get to capture those fleeting, special moments that make each couple's love story unique. With over 4 + years of experience, I blend artistry with technical skill to create images that are not only beautiful but deeply meaningful.

Caleb was fantastic to work with. From the very beginning, he had excellent communication(from the time we booked him for our wedding.) Caleb made sure to touch base constantly to make sure everything was going good, and to see if we needed anything from him, and to send him any photo ideas we had. He was punctual to the wedding, and his professionalism and laid back style, was perfect for us and our wedding. By the time we got home from our wedding reception, he had already sent us some edited photos. Caleb’s editing style also matches the look we were after. He always had pose suggestions for us, constant ideas for how to take group shots large or small. He made us, our family and our wedding guests VERY comfortable. I would highly recommend hiring Caleb for your wedding, or any event.

Hi, I'm Halie Vertrees. A published Wedding and Lifestyle photographer serving KY + beyond! I take pride in capturing emotion-filled, timeless, light, and colorful images. Over the years I have become a personal hype-woman, professional dress fluffier, and teary-eyed Father and Daughter Dance photog all while capturing candid moments of your wedding day.

I cannot recommend Halie enough!!! She did both our engagement and wedding pictures. Since day one of the whole process, she was AMAZING. She always offered guidance and support when I had no idea what I was doing. She was so professional, yet so comfortable. My husband and I hate getting pictures taken, but we both said immediately after our first session how natural Halie made it feel for us. Her fun & upbeat personality is contagious. Our wedding party, family, and guests all commented on how “great our photographer was.” I’ve heard countless times how the pictures she took “are some of the best I’ve ever seen.” Before having a wedding myself, I didn’t realize that a photographer becomes such a big part of your wedding day. That can be a bad thing if you pick the wrong one, but instead the opposite was true for us. Choosing Halie truly added so much happiness and love to our wedding day. She made our day that much more special. We LOVE Halie and HV photography!!

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.

Brittany Simpson Photography

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!!

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Katie and Dejan are incredible - do yourself a favor, and book them ASAP! From our very first phone call, I instantly felt comfortable with both of them, and could tell that working together would be relaxed and fun, which was exactly what we were looking for. I could tell as soon as we met them for our engagement shoot that we made the right choice. My husband and I are both deeply awkward in front of the camera, which usually makes us very unphotogenic. Katie and Dejan helped us feel comfortable, gave us all the cues we needed to get cute poses, and we had such a great session! It was so nice being able to meet them both and work with them prior to wedding day. On the wedding day, Katie and Dejan were INCREDIBLE. They kept us on schedule, and (when we inevitably got behind because the bridal party was running late in hair and makeup), they stayed calm and collected, got us back on schedule, and never once made me feel rushed or stressed. They even got us some absolutely breathtaking preview photos literally the next day! I could not be happier with choosing Caitlin Davis photography - would highly recommend them for your wedding, engagement, or any special event! They are the absolute best!

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.

  • 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.
