JMF Photography

  • 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.

We booked Ashton and another photographer for our wedding and couldn’t be more in love with the photos we came back with! We were picky about what types of photos we wanted—rather than getting a generic shot list because we wanted it to be more about us as the couple, and Ashton was amazing at focusing on the photos we wanted! I still walk by our photos in the house and feel like I can relive the memory of our wedding and am so thankful that we chose her to capture our perfect day! We’ve continued to book her beyond the wedding too! She’s amazing! And we’re so grateful to have had her be a part of our memories!

I photograph everything from newborns to weddings, and even a 100th birthday party! I've loved every moment of every event, and I am thrilled to continue this for many more years.

Kyle shot the wedding of a close friend of mine - I remember being so impressed with his creativity & initiative that when it came time to start planning my wedding, he was my list. My husband and I are not photogenic and hate being in front of the camera, but Kyle has a very calming presence that puts you so at ease! He photographed our pandemic elopement and our one year anniversary micro vow renewal - our plans changed a lot as the pandemic changed but Kyle always replied quickly and was always professional and understanding. Kyle is so, so talented and so, so creative and it shows in his work - the shots are always gorgeous! He is an absolute dream to work with! So much of a dream that our family ended up booking him for a sibling’s wedding and we have more plans to keep being repeat customers! Kyle is the best!

Winter holds a special place in my heart, as I embrace the beauty and charm of every location I photograph.

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

Now that’s out the way, I'm Jovan Kiah, specializing in wedding and portrait photography located somewhere in the cornfields of Indiana.

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.

It was a toasty, sunny, fast-paced wedding day, and Caleb remembered to do all the shots we had asked for, and many more at a comfortable pace. Time flew and we went longer than expected, but he was gracious, easy to work with, and didn't allow anything to stress him out. Choosing Prest1ge was the best decision we could have made!

Jason "Snorlax" Cun is an all around photographer that currently resides in Los Angeles, California. He was raised in the heart of Los Angeles, where he found his calling in photography. He aims to capture the beauty of the world and the people in them. He has recently begun his travels around the U.S capturing the life of those within that city.

Jason was recommended to me by a family member, and to this day, I'm so grateful. Jason was so quick with communication. He responded and asked for details from the very beginning. He was easy to talk to. We ended up booking him for our engagement photos AND our wedding photos. Our engagement photo session was seamless. Jason was easy to work with and he made my (now) husband and I feel so comfortable. Photo sessions do NOT have to be awkward with Jason. He recommended the LA Arboretum and the Pasadena City Hall for our shoot and we couldn't have asked for any better location. Jason knew exactly where to go and what to do. When it came time for our wedding day, Jason and Mae (his second) were so nice. They did not rush us for any photoshoot. He had us take our time, take breathers, and helped us stress about one less thing during the day. We just got our photos back and they are downright GORGEOUS. I could not believe these were us. I am still amazed by it all. The turnover time was so quick as well. Again, communication was so easy with him. I HIGHLY recommend Jason as a photographer. We could not have asked for anyone better.

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.

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.

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.

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.

My name is Shannon, and I have been doing photography since the beginning of 2021, and I absolutely LOVE it. It started as a hobby and has grown into my true passion. I recently moved to the Louisville area and am so excited to connect with new clients to capture their unique and fabulous lives. I specialize in lifestyle photography, focusing on capturing authentic, everyday moments. Whether it’s families, couples, engagements, or weddings, I aim to create memories that feel real and unposed. I don’t do fashion or editorial photography because I believe the best photos are the unplanned ones—my favorites are often the bloopers!

Shannon was so sweet and amazing, she was about to move to New Orleans and her foot was giving her grieve and still took me on as a client. She was everywhere she needed to be, she got so many photos and the edits she made were better than I could ever imagine. I will forever cherish these photos and if she ever comes back to Washington I will defiantly book her for another shoot with my husband.

Lydia even delivered our gallery ahead of schedule! I highly recommend her :)

I recently had a small backyard wedding and Liz came highly recommended by several friends. Some had used her for professional headshots, others senior pictures, and I’d even seen her work in some of the social publications around the greater Nashville area. When I spoke with her about our event, I had zero concern that I’d get good photos but what I really wanted more than a stunning photo fit for a canvas, was for her to capture the immense joy and raw emotion of the day. I wanted to be certain we’d never forget how happy we all were to finally be a family. And WOW…did she ever do that! I was so pleased. AND we got that stunning photo fit for a canvas! I cry happy tears every time I look at my photos and I feel like people who weren’t there can look at them and feel our happiness. I would highly recommend Liz for any event.

Hey there, I’m Holly Johnston! I’m a wedding and engagement photographer based in Roanoke, VA, and I’m all about capturing love stories in the most authentic and heartfelt way possible. My photography style is raw, emotional, timeless, and fun. Whether I’m photographing a tender moment between a couple or the spontaneous laughter during a celebration, I strive to capture the genuine connection and joy shared on your big day. There’s nothing more rewarding for me than freezing those fleeting moments so you can relive them for years to come. If you’re looking for a photographer who can capture your day as it unfolds, I’d love to chat!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Holly was immediately responsive & answered all our questions in detail. She was incredible at our engagement shoot & had even looked up several nearby parks to choose from, & looked at great locations within the 1 we chose to shoot our engagement photos. I was able to change outfits & my fiance/now husband & I felt totally comfortable despite it being our 1st time having professional photography focused on us with her down to earth & direct communication style. Our photos turned out gorgeous & classic. On our wedding day, we had a lot of unexpected things happen like wind & rain at our outdoor ceremony & photography session, but she handled it all with grace & got our photos done beautifully & timely with our wedding party & immediate family as we wanted. We did some outdoor portrait photos & got some adorable ones inside our bridal suite. It was relieving to see her there every step of our 8 hours we hired her for, including our pivotal dances, cake cutting, dancing, etc. She even went above & beyond her job by stepping in several times in several ways when our coordinator was completely forgetful & careless. She communicated with my Mom who was very high strung & quick tempered beautifully. My husband & I literally cannot thank her enough for how beautifully & peacefully she took care of our photos & us on our our wedding. Would recommend her 10x over.

You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

Awarded Best of Zola
Abby wasn’t able to travel to my wedding but she sent her assistants and she edited the photos. It went absolutely perfect. The photos were beautiful and I got so many meaningful photos with my family and his family that I wouldn’t have thought to get. I sent her draft of a timeline and the photographers printed it out and had it to make sure the photos I wanted got done. They were absolutely amazing. Thank you so much to Abby and her team.
