Couples & Engagements

Tala and Ali began their lifelong journey together at their Louisville engagement party surrounded by family and friends.

Ben + Lauren’s home in Louisville, KY, is a testament to their hard work, dedication, and unique personalities.

July graced us with its warm embrace as I met Johnny + Elisabeth at Yew Dell Botanical Gardens in Louisville, KY, for a special couples session.

There’s something magical about the early summer months in Louisville, Kentucky, and Beckley Creek Park provides the perfect backdrop for capturing love in bloom. Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing an enchanting engagement session there for a lovely couple, Nate + Jordan, who are eagerly counting down the days until their August wedding.

There’s something truly special about capturing the love shared between a couple and their beloved dog. As a Louisville wedding photographer, I recently had the pleasure of photographing a beautiful session that highlighted not just the bond between two people, but also the affection they share with their furry friend. Here’s a glimpse into that heartwarming day at Anchorage Trail, along with some valuable tips for anyone considering including their dog in a photo session.

There’s something magical about love blooming amidst the vibrant colors and fragrant scents of a botanical garden. Recently, I had the pleasure of capturing such enchantment during Hank + Miranda’s engagement session at Louisville’s Waterfront Botanical Gardens. Nestled along the banks of the Ohio River, we started at the Botanical Gardens and then moved to Waterfront Park for a walk along the river to end our time together – and it was beautiful!

I met Grace + Gabriel on a Tuesday evening and had so much fun with these two! I loved the little looks they would give each other and the genuine laughter that flowed. Grace is one of my oldest friends and I was SO happy to see her. One of the things that I love most about this job is that it allows me to connect (or reconnect!) with so many people – and there’s something beautiful about that. On this evening we met in Norton Commons for their couples session, and what a beautiful location!

Bryan + Blair’s engagement session was absolutely GORGEOUS. They chose to wait until spring for their session and I’m so glad they did! As winter bids its final farewell and nature awakens from its slumber, there’s no better time to celebrate love in all its splendor than the vibrant season of spring. With blossoms in full bloom and the air filled with the sweet scent of flowers, it’s the perfect backdrop for an enchanting engagement session. And what better place to capture this magical moment than amidst the timeless beauty of Louisville’s St. James Court?

As the temperatures drop and snowflakes start to dance in the crisp air, love is in full bloom. Winter engagement sessions provide a unique and enchanting backdrop for capturing the warmth and intimacy between couples.
