JMF Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $589
  • Serves Summer Shade, KY

JMF Photography was born out of a deep-rooted passion for visual storytelling. My journey began with a simple yet powerful idea: to capture the beauty and emotion of life’s fleeting moments in a way that transcends time. It all started with photographing my children’s sports events, where I discovered my love for the craft. Recognizing the potential to freeze not just a scene, but the essence of a memory, a feeling, or a story, I decided to go back to school to hone my skills. Now, I photograph something almost daily, continually refining my art.

Our company has had the pleasure of working with James from JMF Photography on multiple occasions, and each experience has been exceptional. James consistently demonstrates a high level of professionalism and courtesy, ensuring that every event is captured beautifully, even under unique and challenging circumstances. James is always the first person I recommend when clients ask for a reliable and talented photographer. His ability to listen and understand our needs, combined with his skill in capturing the best shots in various settings, makes him an invaluable asset. I highly recommend James and JMF Photography for anyone seeking top-notch photography services.

Every day I get to meet new and unique people who allow me to join them & to capture the most intimate and emotional moments of their lives. I seek couples who have wandering hearts and adventuring souls, Catching that closeness between two people completely in love. The way your hands fit together, the laughter, the way you hold on to each other.. That kind of chemistry, that’s what makes my job so much better, I get to be the one witnesses it, and saves it. I’ll shoot that kind of love all day and twice on a Sunday.

Ashton really is such a great photographer & person. She made it so easy to be comfortable in front of her and her camera. Doing the boudoir shoot with her was not easy for me, but she made it easy. Didn’t even think twice about what I was wearing lol she made my husband and I so comfortable, really listened to what we wanted and captured our wedding day/relationship perfectly. Looking at our wedding albums seriously looks like we’re watching a movie of the day. So many candid effortless pictures. She caught the emotion, the fun, the ugly, the love, the happiness. EVERYTHING. Ashton pays attention to the details, she has your back, most importantly she makes you feel comfortable. I will 100% be booking her for future family portraits. As long as she’s a photographer, she’ll my photographer. Thank you Ashton for capturing all of our special moments.

Shelley + Portugal 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Summer Shade, KY

Hey! We're Shelley + Portugal. We met on Instagram and fell in love over FaceTime. A shared interest in roadkill portraiture is what brought us together (it’s a funny story), but what compelled us to exchange numbers and talk every day for 3 months was the fact that we were both seeking the same things out of life. Nothing about our story is conventional (and it goes against every warning from our parents against Internet stranger danger) but despite the “what-ifs” and the long-distance logistics, we said yes. And in saying yes to something we couldn’t fully comprehend, we were unknowingly saying "yes" to a life full of adventure together.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Shelley & Portugal as our photographers was the best (and easiest) decision we made in planning our wedding. First, they are both extremely talented. We fell in love with their portfolio when we were looking for possible wedding vendors and knew their style of photography and approach would mesh well with our wedding aesthetic. After seeing the photos, that was an understatement. They captured our wedding day so perfectly just just in the moments they captured but the actual feeling behind the pictures themselves. When looking for wedding photographers, we also wanted to make sure we were working with people who we felt comfortable with on a personal level, particularly since my husband and I *hate* being in front of a camera. Shelley & Portugal are such wonderful people; we loved getting to hang out with them on our wedding day and during our engagement photoshoot. We were able to be ourselves in front of them. Finally, it's worth noting how professional and "on top of things" Shelley & Portugal are. I never felt like I was in the dark at any point in our planning process. Honestly, Shelley helped me stay on track and helped me think about things related to our wedding that weren't at all on my radar. I also couldn't believe how quickly they were able to get us a sneak peak of our wedding photos (Monday, we got married on Saturday)! Shelley & Portugal also did our wedding album and wedding video which they did a beautiful job with as well. I know we'll be looking back on these two keepsakes for years and will be just as grateful for the work Shelley & Portugal put in to capturing our day as we are today.

Just like you, I have felt awkward in front of the camera. I’ve had photos taken of me that I didn’t like. When you go on a session with me, I will not only make you feel comfortable, but I will make sure you look good! I will give you prompts to keep you moving and laughing. I’m sorry but there are some angles, and poses that are not flattering for everyone. Like, please don’t take a photo of me from below! Hello double chin! What I’m saying is, I got you!

PictureMeThisByLacie was one of the best decisions we made throughout the wedding process. Lacie was amazing to work with the entire time. She was easy to communicate with and kept us updated on our photo timelines, not to mention all of our photos turned about AMAZING. Our package included an engagement session and Lacie worked out a weekend she was already in Chicago to accommodate us. Leading up to our session, we had issues with controlled fires and protests in our preferred location, but Lacie found us a spot that blew my expectations for photos out of the water. She gave us a sneak peak and also got our pictures back to us super quick. On our big day, Lacie and Tim(her husband/second photographer) were the best to work with. They made us feel comfortable and captured our day better than we could have imagined. As soon as they got there, they got straight to work. Lacie got all the details and getting ready photos that I will cherish forever. Things were running behind the day of and they let us add on an hour to our contract the day of and pay at a later date. This ensured that we got dance floor photos and it was so worth it! Specifically getting pictures of my husband's grandmother in her 80s dancing with all her grandkids. We received a sneak peak very quickly and our whole (massive) gallery less than 2 months after the wedding. For as many photos as we got, this was a crazy quick turn around. Overall, PictureMeThisByLacie captured our day better than we could have ever imagined, we could not recommend them more!

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!

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

For as long as I can remember I have always loved to create. My passion for photography started when I was a teen. As I honed in on my craft I began to photograph on a more professional level right out of high school, but stepped away for academic pursuits. After completing both a bachelors and master's degree in Anthropology, I came full circle, determining that a career in doing something creative was where my heart lies. Whether it is your wedding, or any other special moment in your life, I cherish the opportunity to document it in a way that highlights the artistic elements, while still capturing an authenticness that is uniquely you.

If adventure makes your heart beat fast, you don't mind straying from tradition, sarcasm and retro music are your love languages, and if you're down to frolic through an open field with me, we'll be best friends in no time. When you choose your wedding photographer, it's about so much more than just hiring a professional to take your photos - it's about connecting with someone who'll capture your special day with intention. So be sure to ask all your questions, and make sure you *click* (pun intended) with the person behind the camera!

Faith is one of the most intentional people I’ve met — she was there every step of the way during wedding planning to support us and provided so much comfort and overall good vibes on the day of! I felt so at ease the entire wedding day, and I credit that to our incredible vendor team, Faith and her team included. I received so many sneak peek pics just under a week after my wedding (a few I got almost immediately!!), and it was amazing to be able to relive those moments already and share them with friends and family. Seeing how she captured these moments, big and small, makes me SO excited to see the final gallery!!! Her editing style is simply gorgeous — it was the main reason I reached out to her initially — but she’s also just a wonderful friend and human. When you already feel like you know someone, it makes it so much easier to be your authentic selves in front of the camera, and for that to shine through in photos. We both have so much love for Faith and are forever grateful she was there to document the beginning of the newest chapter of our love story

We were so impressed by 505 media and their quick responses and quality of photo/video they took! From the initial phases of planning, they were quick to respond and eager to help in the planning process of making sure timelines were manageable. They were able to capture all of the milestones during the day and were even willing to hop on our party bus when we wanted footage of the wedding party driving around! We were so impressed by how quick the photos were delivered! We received a text while on our honeymoon the week after our wedding that our edited photos were done and one week later we received all our pictures! You don’t hear that often from photography companies! We also watched our wedding video trailer today (which was delivered in less than 2 months from our wedding) and can’t stop watching it!

As a documentary-style photographer, I truly believe that the essence of life is captured in the unscripted, candid moments that often go unnoticed-- Each click of my camera is more than just a snapshot; it’s an opportunity to freeze time and preserve the love, joy, and uniqueness of your moments for generations to come.

Anna is absolutely incredible and such a pleasure to work with. She really knows how to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Her work is absolutely phenomenal as well. I have never been so pleased with a photographer before! Her editing is beautiful and she really can just capture emotions in her photos. Her photography became my favorite aspect of my wedding. She did not only our wedding photos, but a few other shoots as well, including our engagement photos. She is honestly the only person I would trust/recommend to capture your sweet wedding memories.

Your Love Story. Told through imagery as vibrant and authentic as you are. Hello, friend! My name is Maria, and along with my husband, Donny, we are the husband and wife foundation of Vimana Photography & Cinema, LLC. We have over a decade in business, global and nationwide clientele, and focus on timeless, authentic, and fun documentation of your wedding day, through fine art photography and cinematic videography. When we aren’t behind the camera, I enjoy interior design, gardening, our menagerie of pets, and travel. Ask us about capturing your destination wedding!

My husband and I got married 10.21.23 and the photos from the wedding were miraculous and we are so I love with them. They are ALL so good and there are 1200 photos. We had them shoot our wedding for 10.5 hrs on the wedding day. The experience before the wedding day was amazing too. They did not include a travel fee which was a big perk. Even though our wedding was in Waxhaw, NC, we had an engagement shoot in Oct 2022 in Montreat NC which they did amazing with as well. We have not seen our wedding video yet but are SO excited and can only imagine what it will be like. Totally Recommend this husband and wife duo for photo video.

Hello! My name is Kristen Thomison, I am passionate about capturing your story in a way that feels completely like you! Myself along with my team love getting to know you and capturing your day in a way that feels super intentional and like having some friends with you with a camera! Our promise is to keep it lighthearted and playful so that you look back on these images for years to come and remember the conversations, laughs, and maybe tears as if they were yesterday.

We were so worried about finding the "perfect" photographer for our big day, but Kristen Thomison was an answer to prayer! She is a precious person who goes above and beyond to make sure the client has exactly what they want and envision. Before booking with her, she made me a Pinterest board of what her vision was for our big day based on our venue parameters and our personal wishes. This extra detail that she chose to provide helped me to feel settled in my decision, trusting we had the same vision! Furthermore, she gets to know her clients on a personal level so she can write our story pictorially. She is incredible and gives her heart and soul to what she does!

It was such a pleasure to have Rebecca as the photographer for our wedding. Her package offered a free engagement shoot and those pics turned out amazing! She was so easy to work with on the day of the wedding. She felt like a part of our friend group and got along with everyone so easily. She was great at directing everyone into poses and getting pics with everyone needed. The quality of the photos is amazing, and she even got a sneak peek back to us the night of the wedding before we even left the venue. We are going to cherish them forever! I highly recommend booking with her for your wedding!

Hi, I’m Heather! (that's me on the left) I'm a wedding photographer with a deep passion for capturing the genuine moments and raw emotions that make each wedding day so special. I’ve always been drawn to storytelling through photography, and over the years, I’ve developed a style that combines artistry with authenticity. My goal is to not just take pictures, but to tell the unique love story of each couple I work with, from the grand moments to the quiet, intimate details. My husband is a wedding videographer. So, if you are also looking for video, look no further!

From the moment we first reached out to HEARTS in FOCUS, we were impressed by their great communication. They were quick to respond to our inquiries and very helpful in answering all of our questions. On the day of the wedding, the HEARTS in FOCUS team was professional, efficient, and discreet, capturing all the special moments without being intrusive. The final photos were absolutely stunning and we felt we received great value for the cost of their services. As an LGBTQ couple, we were grateful to work with a vendor who was inclusive and celebrated our love. We highly recommend HEARTS in FOCUS to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.

Awarded Best of Zola
I’m typically shy and not very photogenic, so I was extremely anxious about how our wedding photos would turn out. But after finding LaDonna through a Facebook ad, I immediately knew I wouldn’t have to worry if she was our photographer. She took the time to understand me and helped me find my confidence in front of the camera. By the wedding day, I felt completely at ease and able to focus on the moment with my husband rather than my insecurities in my head. LaDonna and the LT² team captured everything beautifully, balancing candid moments with fine art shots that truly tell our story. The photos are so authentic, and I’ll cherish these memories forever, along with the confidence I gained. Thank you, LaDonna, for an unforgettable experience! 3 7.27.24

Andrea Powell Photography was an incredible choice for our wedding day. From the very first interaction, Andrea's communication style was transparent, detailed and she was incredibly prepared. Her work is simply stunning - the photos she captured are truly impressive and have exceeded all of our expectations. Andrea came early on the wedding day, ready to work tirelessly. She listened to our preferences but also had wonderful ideas of her own, guiding us seamlessly through the process. Andrea made my husband and I feel so comfortable, and she even sent us teaser photos just a few days after the wedding. She was an absolute joy to work with, and we couldn't be happier with the incredible value she provided. We highly recommend Andrea Powell Photography to any couple planning their wedding.

First off just like that, the day got a whole lot better now that you are here! But let’s get one thing straight: if you are here, I want you to feel free to be YOU! Being true to who you are makes this process a hell of a lot easier! This is a judgment-free free safe space, and I want you to be as comfortable as humanly possible! Now that’s out the way, I'm Jovan Kiah, specializing in wedding and portrait photography located somewhere in the cornfields of Indiana. But always prepared for a photography adventure, I’m already packed with a suitcase of snacks, my passport, & playlist that spans from Disney musicals to '90s R&B hits.

Jovan was absolutely amazing to work with. On our calls before the big day, she was always happy and excited and answered all of our questions and it gave us such a sense of ease. I never once had to worry and stress about photos. Day of the wedding, she completely killed it. She was still her happy self but was able to organize us and snap some amazing photos. She worked with me on some odd family and friend dynamics and eliminated any worries I had. She did a fantastic job of catching the perfect small moments, some of which I didn’t even know she was capturing. The photos are all so naturally beautiful and I can’t even begin to describe how much we love them. They are clean and bright and show us, our personalities, and our people perfectly. 100% the best decision we made.

Your wedding should be a stress-free and joyous celebration! And to capture all the love and life and happiness, your photographer should be focused on the emotions of the day, not only the pretty centerpieces. At Mischief and Laughs Photography, we believe that the important things aren’t the things at the wedding, but the people – your families, your friends, and most importantly the person you are about to marry. We carry this love for love into every wedding we photograph.

Working with Mischief and Laughs Photography was wonderful. Cara was very responsive and easy to work with, leading up to and on the day of the wedding. She was extremely professional and went above and beyond in working with us. The ceremony and bridal party pictures are absolutely beautiful, but I think where the photos really shine are the wonderful little moments of the day that she captured. Neither my husband nor I are big on staged photos so we wanted a photographer who would get those in-the-moment shots. I am so happy with all of the pictures from the after-dinner cigars on the outside patio and of our friends and family on the dance floor. If you want someone who can truly capture the celebration, you need to book Mischief and Laughs for your wedding.
