“Working with Masterworks Photography for our wedding was an absolute blast! From the moment we met Rob and Michelle, their professionalism, attention to detail, and calm presence made us feel completely at ease. They were an amazing team and great at communication, and the quality of their work was truly outstanding and very professional. Rob and Michelle were so helpful beyond the scope of their work - they assisted with planning before and during the wedding, and helped us feel at ease when we were overwhelmed with other details. They were able to capture the essence of our day in such a beautiful and authentic way, and every photo tells a story. We can't stop looking through them! Masterworks Photography truly went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had an incredible wedding day.”

Hi! We are Rob and Michelle, we are a couple in love! And our favorite thing to do is photograph other couples in love! We met in college and started dating very soon after, what started as a friendship turned into true love. Photography is our life and passion. We love photography in all of it's variety. When we are not photographing clients we love searching out unique spots for fine art photographs. Rob loves creating images of old churches, barns and landscapes and I love the little microscopic world that lives in the wildflower fields.

“Choosing a photographer to capture the best day of your life is a HUGE and sometimes overwhelming decision… but from the moment you start working with them, your heart will fill with ease that you’ve made the absolute best choice for your wedding photographers! Every decision and detail is thought out and planned with your vision in mind. We always joked that we had never planned a wedding before and had SO many questions- everything from what to where to our engagement photoshoot, planning the perfect timeline in October in the mountains, timing our confetti pop down the isle, and making sure they know what special details we want capture- they helped us plan EVERYTHING. The day of our wedding, Michelle and Nick executed our plan flawlessly, and even went with our last minute change in plans to take a Skylift to the top of Natural Bridge to capture our love that day. I could go on and on about how amazing they were that day, but that’s not where their magic stops. Michelle delivered our photos in record time, sent us a Christmas gift, and continues to work with us to create our wedding photo album. We never once worried that we didn’t get what we paid for; their price is 100% fair and worth it for the quality and the professionalism you receive. My husband and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for not only a wedding photographer, but for lifelong friends to hopefully capture more beautiful life moments to come.”

Hi! Im Courtney and im so glad you decided to give me a look! Here's a little bit about me! I am a full time mommy of 5 beautiful children. I am married to an amazing man, Dwight. He is very supportive in everything i do including my business and strives to help me in anyway he can. Many of you may see him accompanying me to your session, wedding or event. Our house is cluttered and chaotic 99.9% of the time but is filled with lots of love and laughs from our little family and i thank god everyday for letting me be their mama and wife.

“In October of 2019, the love my life proposed to me. All excited and bushytail from the engagement I immediately started planning our wedding that night. Before 9pm I had our date set, May 15, 2021. I had asked a few people I knew what was the one thing they wished they could have redone or really could not live without. Most said "if you're going to spend money on a photographer, make sure to get a professional with plenty of experience." So I took those words and ran with it. Fast forward spring of 2020, COVID is new and at its prime. I stressed about getting a photographer and meeting one. That's when I found Courtney. From the first message I sent her, she made me feel at ease. She set up our first meeting over zoom and went through everything with us. Budget, theme, and most importantly what we wanted out of our photographer. She was very professional and set us up with a payment plan for the wedding package. Fast forward to our engagement session with her, she made everything go so smoothly as we did not have to worry about posing or being uncomfortable. The pictures were absolutely beautiful. Comes May 15, 2021 as any bride would be the nerves are as high as they can be. My soon to be husband has a large family so this weeding was bigger than expected. Courtney laid everything out and immediately went to work. Working around everyone. She already had a few things planned out and asked if there were anything we wanted specifically that we may have forgotten to tell her. She made me feel so at ease. The pictures we recieved were absolutely breathtaking and incredible. Courtney has been one of the most understanding and professional people I have ever met. Since our marriage in 2021 we have welcomed a beautiful baby girl in which Courtney done her newborn session and is about to do more photos for us. She has become our go to person when it comes to the best pictures. I highly recommend her!”

Most couples tell me they’re not comfortable in front of the camera, and that’s completely normal. I’m experienced at guiding people just enough to feel at ease.

Skills that turn out to be very useful on a wedding day.

“We met with Julia for the first time at a wedding show hosted by Rhinegeist Brewery. By the next morning she had already reached out to us and we started planning a date to meet to discuss wedding photography! She is absolutely fantastic and really made me feel comfortable with her during our initial meeting by taking time to answer any question I had, and helping explain her process to me. The first time I got to witness her in action was during my proposal. My fiancé reached out to her and she helped him plan a lot of it, which I was so grateful for! She has such a unique and mesmerizing artistic vision which I absolutely loved in my proposal. The pictures turned out even better than I could’ve imagined!! I’m awkward in front of a camera but I felt like I was able to be myself while she was there. Our Super 8 video made me cry when I saw it for the first time, it was everything I could’ve wanted and more! You can tell she really takes pride in what she does, and she’s the best at it!! I can’t wait for our engagement session and wedding. I know she’s going to do an absolutely incredible job! If you wanted a photographer who will really listen to, help, and make you feel comfortable in front of a camera, I definitely recommend Julia! She really is the best.”

The love, the pure joy, and the emotions on the faces of everyone who attended shines through in every photo of our gallery.

“I’ll start off this review by saying it’s taken me so long to write because the thought of capturing all the magic and warmth and talent and goodness that Shelley and Portugal infused into our wedding was an incredibly daunting task. How could I begin to describe how comfortable they made us feel? How they simultaneously brought the energy and life to the party but practically disappeared into the background so they could capture those special in-between moments? When you think of wedding photography, you think of the big, posed moments. But the reason why we hired Shelley and Portugal is because we also wanted to see all the moments in between. And man, they DELIVERED. As I click through my wedding album, it’s almost like I’m being transported back to the day. You can literally feel the joy, the memories, and the emotion jump off the page, and something like that can only happen when the creators are immensely talented, thoughtful, and devoted to their craft. Let’s talk about Shelley and Portugal themselves. Talk about a dream team. Shelley will walk you through your day with laughter and an arm around your shoulder. She is an expert at capturing those big, beautiful moments and making it feel so easy for you and your whole wedding party. She’s bright, energetic, and truly a joy to be around any day, but especially on such a crazy day as your wedding. Portugal is the other side of their wonderful coin. The number of times I would see him out of the corner of my eye capturing tiny moments or the movement and energy of the evening was countless. One of my favorites is when my husband and I were in our getaway car and Portugal popped in and took a few quick shots, which ended up being some of my favorites of the whole album! With the two of them, you get it all. Their services were by far some of the best money we spent on our wedding and I would do it a hundred times over. The photos and video they created for us are among my most treasured possessions! Their true superpower is storytelling — and who wouldn’t want expert storytellers documenting their love story? I’m so grateful our paths crossed and that they were the ones who captured ours.”

Photography has been my passion since I graduated High School in 2013. After I had my son in 2014 I wanted a hobby to do and I took a leap of faith picked up my camera and started taking pictures. My father had a passion for photography and it’s always been my dream to carry on that passion. I love to capture the best moments in people’s lives because pictures are worth more than anything. Always take pictures because one day you may not have them.

“The pictures came out very nice. She did a great job. She will work around your schedule”

Katie Micha Photography

Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)

“Katie Micha Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer. From the start, her communication style was quick, effective, and incredibly kind. The quality of her work was truly outstanding - she captured all the special, emotional moments of our day in a way that was both beautiful and perfectly tailored to our vision. Katie and her team went above and beyond, using our photo shot list and wedding day timeline to ensure they didn't miss a single moment. The team's calm energy and attentiveness throughout the day was so appreciated, and the sneak peak photos were everything we had hoped for and more. (CANNOT WAIT for our full gallery). Truly the best wedding photographer we could have asked for. We are overjoyed with the results and couldn't recommend Katie Micha Photography highly enough.”

My name is Katie Pruitt and I am the face behind the camera! My whole life I have truly had a love for capturing memories through the lens of a camera. I am a graduate of Morehead State University (and have taken college photography courses). I'm an enneagram 7, a wife to an amazing man who always supported my dream to be a full time photographer, a goldendoodle mom to the sweetest girl, and am a travel enthusiast! I have been to over 20 countries; I love to travel and have awesome experiences (yes, I would love to travel for your wedding)! I am always busy and go on the go, but I wouldn't have it any other way!

There’s something to be said about understanding another person. Sometimes you experience it in conversation. You know the feeling: interactions that leave you and that other person thinking, wow; we just said the Exact. Same. Thing. But if you’re lucky it’ll go deeper; understanding that person so much that you begin to anticipate what they may say or do. It's what makes our partnership so strong. As brothers, we understand each other, and we feel it shows in our work. But our greatest joy comes from sharing our work with you. To have all the memories of your day come flooding back to you in waves is magical, and it never gets old.

“I cannot recommend Breighton & Basette Photography enough! They shot both our engagement session and our wedding day, and the results are absolutely stunning. They worked tirelessly throughout the entire event, making sure not a single moment was missed. Their dedication and hard work shone through in every single frame. They didn't just take pictures; they captured memories and emotions that we will treasure for the rest of our lives.”
