Kens Cotton Photography 

5.0

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $1,650
  • Serves Stanford, KY

As a USMC veteran, I’ve developed a strong sense of discipline, attention to detail, and a deep commitment to my work. These qualities naturally translated into my passion for wedding photography, where I can capture the genuine, unscripted moments that truly define a couple’s day. I’m drawn to telling real stories through my lens, ensuring each moment, big or small, is remembered authentically and beautifully.

Kens was an exceptional choice for our wedding photography. From the very beginning, her communication style was attentive, thoughtful, and dedicated. She went above and beyond to ensure our special day was captured beautifully. Kens not only took stunning, high-quality photos, but she also helped with things that were not even part of her duties, like helping with decor, keeping everything on schedule since we didn’t have the Day of coordinator and helped with our dog that wouldn’t let us take any pictures without him lol. She was such a joy, all our guests loved her, she would try everything to get the best shots and angles, ensuring we have memories to cherish forever. The value she provided was truly exceptional, and we are so grateful for her caring, professional service.

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
Our entire experience from start to finish was amazing. We received exactly what we wanted in out wedding photos as well as quite a few unique ideas that they came up with based on our personalities. Brighton and Basette were professional and fun! Their presence felt more like family than it did a vendor. In addition to our experience, the quality of our photos was beyond exceptional! They have unique style that made our photos stand out against the traditional style. They have a way of capturing natural emotions and not making things look posed or unnatural. You will have your expectations met and exceeded in choosing Brighton and Basette Photography!

Brittany Simpson Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,400
  • Serves Stanford, KY

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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 absolutely loved working with Emily! My husband and I definitely aren't naturals in front of the camera, but Emily made it so fun and easy! Her pictures are amazing! She's great at capturing the moment. Our engagement pictures were the most fun I've had getting my picture taken, and I think my husband would agree. Our wedding was rainy and cold, but Emily was a trooper and we got some amazing outdoor pictures. We love her work and have had her photograph our maternity, Christmas, and family pictures as well, and I'm sure we'll have more pictures taken with her in the future.

Hello hello! My name is Marie and I am the owner and photographer for Wild Elegance. We are a brand for adventurers, for lovers of life, and genuine people who love those little moments between the moments in life and seek out truth over perfection. Your marriage is unique because of the relationships you have with the people you choose to celebrate with. Spending my day with you and your closest family and friends brings me such joy, and creating art out of some of the best moments of your life is something I am truly honored to be a part of for so many.

Awarded Best of Zola
Knowing how much of a financial investment a wedding photographer was going to be, I did not take my decision lightly. I reached out to several companies and had several questions when determining who would be the right fit. And I have to say, Marie was by far the most understanding and compassionate during that process. While many photographers seemed annoyed by the (many) questions I would ask before booking, Marie was patient and very thoughtful with her responses -- she even took time to arrange a phone call with me while traveling! And during that phone call, she made sure I didn't feel rushed and that she answered all questions I had fully, it truly felt like I was talking to a friend. That was when I made the decision to book with Marie. Beyond that, when booking the session for our Engagement photos, she brought several creative and adventurous ideas to the table and had the PERFECT locations to take us to. We had a blast together. I would recommend Marie to anyone looking for a photographer who is friendly, compassionate, accommodating and just a joy to be around.

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.

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.

Pottinger Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our weddings. Brenda and her team are friendly, helpful, honest, and professional in their communication style. The quality of their work is timeless, professional, and light-filled, capturing the magic of our clients special day perfectly. Brenda is a seasoned pro who is always prepared and on time.
