Couples & Engagements

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. I’m Michelle Bordenkircher, Louisville-based wedding photographer, and I’m here to guide you through the wonders of winter engagement photography.

Red River Gorge, often referred to as the “Little Grand Canyon,” boasts stunning rock formations, towering cliffs, and lush greenery that create a natural cathedral of love. As a wedding photographer, the opportunity to capture couples exchanging vows against this awe-inspiring backdrop is a dream come true. The towering sandstone arches and majestic landscapes offer a sense of grandeur that elevates the entire wedding experience.

Cameron and Abby are the sweetest couple. We met at golden hour at the Crescent Hill Reservoir, which was built as Louisville’s only water reservoir in the late 1800’s, and is gorgeous! We spent a bit of time at the park across the street, and then walked the loop around the reservoir.
