  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Manitou, KY

My husband is my second photographer, so we come as a photo team! 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 so you look and feel natural and comfortable. 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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Lacie captured moments that took my breath away. Her style and skill is every bride’s dream. She delivers everything you adore from those Pinterest and Instagram wedding photos. So there is no question she can deliver what she is looking for. And we are beyond thrilled with all of our photos. The sneak peeks are also so much fun (she sends a batch of photos shortly after she shoots you). But where Lacie shines and what I have to tell you about is everything else. She truly went above and beyond. She’s not just a photographer, she’ll be one of your favorite people on your special day. Yes, Lacie is kind and friendly and comforting and just the kind of person you need on your wedding day (and who you wished you roomed with in college). But she is so much more. Here are just some of the few meaningful things Lacie did that I noticed that I’ll forever carry with me. Firstly, I had a very important rosary I wanted to photograph, and with the chaos, I had forgotten. It would have broken my heart if I left it behind. Lacie remembered. I got fixated on an insignificant hiccup on my wedding day that could have ruined my day. Lacie redirected my attention to the things that really mattered and brightened up my mood immediately. Leading up to the wedding, Lacie advocated for me and my husband ensuring us she was fully dedicated to only us on the day, literally saying “You and Sean are my priority.” Nobody and nothing would take her attention away from us. She was always quick to respond to texts, I could go to her for quick wedding advice, and she’s genuinely so passionate about her craft. Lacie could really be a wedding planner with how much she knows. Other vendors loved working with her, especially our videographers. She was so quick, efficient, and took initiative. She gave them space and skillfully took turns capturing moments with them. With a big wedding party and spacious venue, we kept losing track of people for pictures, Lacie corralled them masterfully. She’s not afraid to get people to focus and get the photos done, but also in the most polite and respectful way. I watched videos of brides saying I wish this or that moment was captured. Sometimes I’d forget whether I had those moments captured myself. Then I go to Lacie’s photos and every single thing that brides mentioned got missed by their photographer she captured for me. Her vibe! She’s so positive and cheery. I was so nervous and also worried about how dark my church was. She got me excited about it after turning it into a positive saying it would look like the theater and she could absolutely work with it. I texted her a shoot list the night before our wedding. She carried that around and took it so seriously making sure she captured everything I listed. I made a Pinterest board of photos I liked and she remembered ones I forgot I included in there. She was my favorite vendor (tied with my incredible florist @dazyflorals) and the vendor I had no worries about it. I didn’t have to check in with her. I could trust her with my eyes closed. She’d be where she needed to be on time, professional, and prepared. I’m going to miss her. Sign her and soak up her sunshine for me, will ya?

Where do I even begin... first, Heather was absolutely phenomenal! She was able to fit us in with probably the shortest notice ever. She was also able to work with our budget. Her communication was amazing, she answered all of my questions quickly. She made us feel very comfortable! Working with her and her fiance felt like we had all been friends already, we just clicked (haha). Side note: we got to help out two poor little stray kittens with them, so animal lovers always a plus in my book! I am madly in LOVE with the photos she took, they are absolutely perfect!!!! She was able to capture our dream come true and so much more!!! They are so beautiful!!! She was even able to finish the editing earlier then planned. I already talked it over with my husband, and we plan on hiring her again in the future! A five star rating does not do her justice, she was hands down the best!!!

Coverage starts at $2,500 for 8 hours. Let’s keep it simple, real, and meaningful.

After our first photographer fell through, we found Caz and luckily he happened to be available on our wedding date. From the very first contact, he was incredibly responsive (super important to us), friendly and professional. His work looked great so we were excited - then we found out he was featured in Vogue! We were stoked. He was amazing to work with on the wedding day - punctual, friendly, got all the requested shots, and the whole bridal party loved him. We got our pictures back today - and they’re so much better than we could have dreamed of. It’s no wonder he was featured in Vogue - his work is artistic, candid, and beautiful. Thank you Caz for giving us such beautiful memories so we can relive the best day of our lives.

  • Serves Manitou, KY

I’m Jaimee—a storyteller, world traveler, and lover of old stuff. With over 100 weddings photographed, I’ve learned that wedding days are about presence > perfection. My documentary-style photography is honest, fun, and rooted in telling your story exactly as it unfolds—raw, real, and beautifully yours. I’m passionate about capturing the moments that matter most: your partner’s look during the vows, friends dancing like no one’s watching, and those in-between moments you might miss but will cherish forever. When I’m not behind the camera, I’m immersed in nature, treasure hunting in antique shops, or planning my next adventure.

There are truly not enough words in the English language to describe how much I admire and recommend Jaimee for any and all of your photography needs. From the moment we met, we knew she was the perfect choice. As a fellow photographer, I met Jaimee over an online forum on facebook and we hit it off immediately. She was incredibly attentive, open to hearing what a valued for my day, and was all around a joy to work with. Jaimee is a wonderful planner and is ALWAYS prepared which perfectly soothed my anxieties leading up to our day of. Her documentary-style photography captured every raw, beautiful, and unscripted moment—moments we didn’t even realize were happening at the time. Looking through our photos feels like reliving the day all over again. The laughter, the quiet glances, the happy tears—every emotion is preserved in the most authentic and breathtaking way. Nothing felt staged or forced; instead, Jaimee blended into the day so seamlessly, allowing us to just be ourselves. She is quiet, fun, silly, calming presence that truly made my day so much easier. I truly and wholeheartedly believe I could not have done it without her. Not only is her talent unmatched, but she is also a joy to be around—calm, kind, and incredibly professional. Her team made us feel completely at ease, which truly shows in the photos. Jaimee goes above and beyond when selecting those she works with. This truly shone when minutes before walking down the aisle, her assistant,Shelby, re-curled my hair to ensure I looked my best after the rain had made it fall. Jaimee went above and beyond to make sure I felt prepared and confident the entire day. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who will tell your love story with honesty, artistry, and heart, look no further. Thank you sweet friend, for giving us the greatest gift—the ability to step back into these moments for years to come. We are forever grateful and cannot wait to book with you again in the future!

We are a photo and cinema team. Our niche is weddings, fashion and quinceaneras. We love what we do and our foundation is Jesus. Without Him we would not be here. We are a destination team as well. We travel the U.S. and abroad.

Words cannot fully express the gratitude we feel for the incredible team behind R&R Productions! From the moment we met them during our engagement shoot, they instantly made us feel at ease, turning what could have been a nerve-wracking experience into something genuinely fun and unforgettable. Their warm personalities, unmatched professionalism, and creative vision were evident right from the start. When it came to our wedding day—the most important day of our lives—they didn’t just capture moments; they captured the very essence of love, joy, and celebration that surrounded us. They didn’t feel like vendors; they felt like family, celebrating alongside us while documenting each precious second. They even covered us in prayer, which meant so much to us. Raphael worked through an injury without us knowing, simply because he didn’t want us to adjust anything for him. That level of dedication and selflessness left us in awe. They don’t just take pictures and record videos; they weave a story from the beginning to the end, preserving the magic and emotions in a way that’s truly extraordinary. And I just don’t even know where to begin with Rasheeda. We met through a Facebook post I replied to—one I initially thought was a scam. Boy, was I wrong! She and I ended up talking that very same day for over an hour, and it felt like we’d known each other forever. From the start, it was never just a business transaction; it felt like family helping to prepare for the big moments in life. Her warmth and genuine care meant everything to us. I don’t know what I did to be so lucky to have crossed paths with this amazing team, but I am forever grateful that we did. I honestly feel like I should keep them on retainer for every milestone in life because I cannot imagine anyone else being able to document such meaningful moments with the care and dedication they do. Choosing them was one of the best decisions we made, and we couldn’t recommend them more highly! Jerome and I are so grateful for the both of you.

My path into photography started when my wife brought me along as her second shooter and has grown into me taking over photographing weddings with her, occasionally, second shooting for me.

The only words to describe Jeff is a lifesaver. In our choosing process there was never any other competition and his work definitely showed it! He got us back a sneak peek the same night and the pictures were just STUNNING! I owe my life to Jeff. The only thing that mattered to us at the end of the day were our pictures and he hit it out of the park! Very professional and makes the process so much easier!

Lu's Lens Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

I am the owner and head photographer of Lu's Lens Photography. I do 95% of the work with the exception of the occasional 2nd photographer or editor. And hey, I know how to run a business, too! I graduated from Northwood University with a Bachelors in Business, but there's no teaching an eye for photography - I see the moment before it even happens. I build out all the wedding timelines with my couples, so I'm on top of your details just as much as you. I travel everywhere but mainly in Michigan and Tennessee.

I don't even know where to begin, Hannah is a ray of sunshine in human form. Not only, does she make being in front of the camera comfortable and easy, but she does so with humor and professionalism that cannot be taught. My husband usually turns into a cardboard statue in front of the camera, and within minutes he was comfortable, laughing and having a great time. This is all on top of the fact that her artistic, photographic style is unmatched. Her ability to take a sweet moment and turn it into art is a gift that lasts a lifetime. I have been fortunate enough to work with Hannah on all of our major life events and I will continue to do so until she fires me as a client. I love her and I promise you will too!

Your wedding day is the one and only time everyone you love, everyone who has been part of you becoming you, will all be in the same place at the same time. It is a moment in time to be captured, cherished and one you will want to look back on again and again. To ensure you get candid images that will capture real emotion filled moments; you want an experienced professional photojournalistic style photographer.

From the moment we first spoke with Destination Life Photography, we knew we were in good hands. Their communication style was incredibly helpful, with Nicole always available to answer our questions and provide clear, concise guidance throughout the planning process. On the day of our wedding, their invaluable presence and attention to detail were beyond worth the cost - they captured gorgeous, emotional images that truly tell the story of our special day. Destination Life Photography made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, and their skilled team ensured they caught all the fun and energy on the dance floor.

Photog Lexie

Lexie Photog Story-driven wedding photography with an editorial twist. Lexie Photog is all about capturing real moments—with a touch of artistry. Blending a documentary approach with creative prompts and modern posing, Lexie tells wedding day stories exactly as they unfold—authentic, emotional, and beautifully composed. Based in Missouri and always ready to travel, I know when to step back and let the moment breathe, and when to guide you with prompts that bring out natural connection (and killer portraits). The result? Timeless, cinematic images that feel like you. No awkward poses. No stiff smiles.

From the moment she floated into the room (did she walk? did she levitate? unclear), Lexie brought this calm, sparkly energy that somehow melted all my stress into glitter. She wasn’t just snapping pics—she was summoning memories, catching the most fleeting, beautiful moments like they were fireflies in a jar. She knew exactly when to hang back and catch that candid tear rolling down my grandma’s cheek (I’m crying again just thinking about it), and exactly when to swoop in like a creative goddess to prompt the most iconic portrait of us running through a field like an indie film poster. I didn’t know I could look that cool and that in love at the same time. Her prompts? Genius. Her timing? Impeccable. Her presence? Like being wrapped in a warm blanket of confidence and vibes. We didn’t just get wedding photos. We got art. We got memories that feel alive. We got a new best friend who may or may not be part-magical woodland creature. Hire Lexie. Honestly, you’d be doing yourself a favor. She’s the real deal.

Hi there! I want to first say that I am pleased that you're here. I am happily married to my husband, Nick. Together, we have a little girl that we call Jojo. I have been a photographer for 5 years now, and my passion is wedding photography. I love to shoot during the golden hour and catch as many candid and timeless photos. If you don't see me with my family, you'll catch me at target or in the Dunkin' drive thru getting an iced coffee.

We had Angeliccaa at our venue for a wedding in July and she was amazing! So friendly and easy to work with. At one point I saw her on the dance floor holding a child dancing so I asked how long she had been friends with the family, and she responded she hadn’t met then before that day! That’s customer service for sure!! We look forward to the next time she’s back at our venue!
