Shelby Shenkman Photography

Hey there! I'm Shelby. Think of me as your bestie with a camera. I'm a fun loving + candid inspired lifestyle photographer in Louisville, Kentucky who believes you deserve photos that look and feel like you. Working with me is like a hanging out with a close friend... I just happen to have my camera along for the ride!

We could not be more happy we chose Shelby as our wedding photographer. From the moment we met her, we loved her energy and passion. We chose a package that included an engagement shoot, which gave us amazing pictures and the chance to bond with Shelby before our wedding day. The engagement shoot and the wedding pictures are everything we wanted - Shelby really understood the vision and brought it to life. She was both easy to find and completely out of the spotlight on our day, which means we have the portraits we want and a ton of incredible candids of all of our favorite people celebrating with us - exactly what we were looking for. We absolutely loved sharing our day with Shelby. If you want a photographer with skill, vision, and personality, look no further - Shelby's the one.

Anna Elisabeth Photography

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
My newly minted husband and I were over the moon from the initial contact with Anna Elisabeth. She is an excellent listener with a superb sense of capturing our wishes in her photographs. We had an unusual experience in that we wanted to capture both of our faith traditions on different days and different geographical areas in the same state. Anna Elisabeth professionally and respectfully photographically savored these traditions beautifully with her photographic gift. She was present and her presence was professionally and discretely demonstrated. Her keen sense of recording precious moments was one of storybooks.. from having the pictures of the bride's mother place, her once veil (when the mother was married 57 years ago) to having the groom's mother putting a family heirloom bracelet on to capturing the special wink given by the groom when he first saw the bride walking down the aisle with her father. All these moments were special at the time and Anna Elisabeth captured them beautifully and discretely. Communication is very important to us, and Anna Elisabeth was professional, prompt and demonstrated honest integrity throughout the entire process. We are providing her a 5 star rating but she is off the charts and anyone who uses her will understand why she should be rated a 10!

Bethany Stacy Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,200
  • Serves Sonora, KY

I'm a wedding, lifestyle, and portrait photographer servicing Louisville and Lexington, KY. I love love and I love capturing it more than anything. (Except for dogs. There's nothing on the planet I love more than dogs!) When I'm not behind the camera, you can find me curled up somewhere watching Parks and Recreation (again), or on a plane for a spontaneous trip. Traveling keeps my heart happy, so if you're looking for a photographer who is willing to travel for elopements, weddings, or engagements, I am your girl!

I accidentally stumbled upon Bethany on Zola while searching around for a photographer, and she turned out to be a hidden gem. My husband and I spent so many hours comparing photographers and we just kept coming back to her. We set up a phone call and then an in person meeting, we realized that we hesitated for no reason. She is THE BEST and is so easy to have a conversation with, we love her professionalism and all of the values that she stands for. We left each conversation with her feeling good and confident. She was kind and helpful on our wedding day and worked well with our family and other vendors. She made us feel so comfortable. We were absolutely blown away when we were able to see our photos. Our pictures turned out INCREDIBLE. Bethany continues to communicate well and even became a friend through the process and we are so grateful. Do not hesitate, you’ll definitely want to give her 5 stars too!

You may not remember what you ate, the table cloths, the centerpieces, or the music played. You may not get to see every guest or the little moments between relatives. You may watch your wedding video once or twice throughout the years. What you will do is use, share and print your photos. My job is to retain the memory, and capture all those little moments you'll be too busy to see yourself, while documenting your special day. Giving you priceless moments and art you'll cherish for the rest of your life. I offer Photography (Some Video) services for any of your needs. I work with budgets.

We are so happy with Alan White Photograph! I can’t say enough about how professional AJ is and the quality of work that he provides. He took our engagement announcements and engagement party photos in Indiana, as well as our elopement in Colorado. He is very professional, creative, and personable. We will treasure our photos for years to come and will continue to use AJ in the future!!

Kendra Farris Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,500
  • Serves Sonora, KY

I want to intentionally & truthfully capture these good ol’ days, so you can have photos to look back on. The years go will on & the photos will get more precious with time. I love capturing weddings of all sizes: from the big wedding that celebrates the blending of two families and cultures. To the intimate backyard wedding or elopement wedding in Red River Gorge, Kentucky. I’ve been photographing weddings since 2015 and have been lucky to capture over 150 weddings since then. The couples I resonate with the most are the ones want their memories captured candidly as they naturally unfold.

Kendra was amazing to work with. First, she met with my sister and I to plan out the timeline of the wedding. She was incredibly receptive to ideas that we had and she was able to help us plan the day to make it all happen. On the day-of, even when I was still being sewn into my dress, she was sure to keep everything on time and keep us at ease. She is such a sweet soul and she made people who don’t like their photographs taken comfortable. Everyone was EXTREMELY pleased with the photographs she took. She is 1000% worth it.

Heather Florance Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Sonora, KY

Hey hey you lovebirds! I'm Heather, a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in Louisville, Kentucky but my bags are packed and I'm ready to follow you to the wildest corners of the earth to photograph your love story! I make photographic art for the dreamers, the adventure seekers, and the wildly in love! I am addicted to the poetic mixture of laughter, light, true love, and raw emotion. Do you have an authentic love story to tell? I will pour my entire heart and soul into helping you document it.

Heather and Arnaud are truly THE BEST! I saw her bright, gorgeous photos on a Louisville Wedding Forum when I started planning and I was floored when she said she was available and would to travel to Colorado for us! From the moment we ran into them the day before the wedding at a brewery, they felt like old friends. Heather didn't hesitate to come sit with our group when we invited her over and she was so fun, we asked her and Arnaud to come to our group dinner that night. They showed up and were immediately friends with everyone. One thing I learned quickly about Heather and Arnaud was that they will adapt to any situation they are in, and you can't scare them away! Heather and Arnaud made the entire experience warm, comfortable, and stress free. Heather went above and beyond in every way imaginable. There were so many moments when I felt overwhelmed because of running late, or when I forgot my bouquet or when someone was already getting married at our originally planned elopement spot, so I asked her to just step in and take charge and that is exactly what she did. She continuously reassured me not to worry about the time, she picked the perfect wedding spot, and after our ceremony, she even climbed through the bushes and created an arrangement from nearby foliage that matched the setting perfectly! Throughout the day, Heather and Arnaud paid attention to every little thing, ensuring each guest was beautifully captured in photos, which was a special request of mine. She always made sure my hair was in place, provided lip gloss when I needed it, and directed us on all the perfect spots to go for photos, even though she had never even been to that location before. Heather had already asked thoughtful questions before the wedding, so she knew exactly what we wanted. The photos were better than anything I could have ever imagined, capturing not only the big moments but all the small, intimate ones that made the day and trip so special. Everyone we have run into since posting the photos online has been gushing about how insanely beautiful they are! There was another elopement photographer couple that I had followed on social media for years, hoping one day I would be able to afford their outrageous prices to hire them for our wedding. However looking back and comparing the two, I would choose Heather and Arnaud's photos and style a million times before I would choose the other photographers now. We feel so incredibly lucky to have found these two and I couldn't recommend them enough, especially if you want to travel and do something different than the traditional stuffy wedding. They are so fun, experts at what they do, and they will make whatever your vision is happen!

In the Shade Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Sonora, KY

Providing happy & sappy couples with vibrant & romantic photographs! We're married high school sweethearts, just celebrated out 13th anniversary, and through out the years of our own relationship, we have learned how important it is to have photos of us to look back on. Photos that show the true us - the laughing, the yearning, the joy and comfort we feel in each others arms. We started photographing ourselves on a point and shoot camera in high school. Fast forward to today, we've upgraded our gear and get to shoot other sappily in love couples (and still make sure to get photos of ourselves along the way)

We were pointed towards In The Shade by some mutual friends. Lily and Justin knocked our October 2024 wedding out of the park! Communication was timely, done over some Zoom calls which allowed us to look at each other and really talk things through. Expectations were set, a plan was executed, and we felt very very satisfied. They were very creative in the ideas they had and super helpful in creating something that fit our vision for the day. Would definitely use them again. Thanks guys!

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

We can't recommend OLAS enough! Our photographer, Victoria, was amazing—super bubbly and made us feel comfortable right away during both our engagement and wedding shoots. She was so fun to work with while remaining highly professional and knowledgeable. The variety in our photos was incredible, but some of my favorites were the natural ones that perfectly captured our personalities. The rest of the OLAS team was also fantastic, helping us develop a detailed timeline and sharing portfolios of potential photographers to choose from. We received our photos quickly, and they were beautifully edited and of exceptional quality. Be sure to check out OLAS—and definitely ask for Victoria!

We cannot say enough good things about Heather and her team. I discovered Heather in a bride group and knew that I just had to have her as my photographer. I expected beautiful photos, but we got so much more. Heather and her team made our wedding era so wonderful. She treats you like a best friend she’s known her whole life. Not to mention her team’s passion for travel. Heather and Andrew traveled 6 hours each way for our engagement photo shoot, then again for our wedding.

Their warmth and friendliness instantly put us at ease, making the entire experience feel effortless and fun. The calls before the wedding to go over details were incredibly helpful, ensuring everything ran smoothly on the big day. One thing that meant a lot to me was getting specific photos with certain family members and bridal party groups, and Joe and Ashley made that happen seamlessly. Being able to send them a list of must-have shots was such a relief, and they powered through it all while still keeping things fun and natural. Those photos will be cherished for a lifetime! And if you’re on the fence about video—DO IT. Having a beautifully edited video with sound clips woven in so perfectly brought our wedding day back to life in a way that photos alone just can’t.
