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.

Mackensie was incredibly professional, interacting positively with our guests and made everyone feel comfortable with getting their photos taken. She was also very timely in getting our full gallery of photos back to us, which we absolutely loved and appreciated.

Prest1ge Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,800
  • 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.

Breighton & Basette Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,089
  • Serves Stanford, KY

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".

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!!

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.
