The Best Wedding Photographers in Kentucky

“We couldn’t be happier with the incredible work Portraits by Sean did on our wedding day! From start to finish, he was professional, creative, and so easy to work with. Sean stayed until the very end of the night, capturing every special moment without ever making us feel rushed. One of the things we really appreciated was how he worked with the kids—getting them to smile and be comfortable without any stress. Their ability to blend in while also capturing candid, beautiful moments was outstanding. We were blown away by the quality of the photos, and they truly exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Portraits by Sean to anyone looking for a talented and reliable photographer to capture the magic of their day!”

“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.

“Stephanie reached out to us after I posted about searching for a new wedding photographer. Our previous one had to cancel our contract on his end, and we were stuck without a photographer. I was already overwhelmed being back to square one, as picking the person capturing your big day is no easy task. Stephanie's example galleries showed me just how amazing her true-to-color, professional-quality photographs are. After opening our communication with her, it was a no brainer to sign her on! Since even before signing the contract, she has been so communicative and flexible. She creates insanely-detailed timelines and cares to note all of the important names for family photos and portraits. No stone goes unturned when it comes to her attention to detail, and as a fellow Type-A person, I highly valued that quality. My wedding gallery is also proof of this. So many moments and details of the wedding that my husband and I may have missed or were not present for were captured and included. It was a nice surprise for us when we initially opened our gallery. Stephanie also works very well alongside other vendors. I had a videographer on site who partnered up with her for the entirety of the day. They did a phenomenal job balancing out photo and video coverage and got along with our guests great! When we got our photos back, you could tell hard work and editing went into each one. So much emotion and movement were captured in such a way that allows us to relive our big day every time we look through them. I cannot recommend Stephanie enough for photos. She's truly a certified professional who's been in the business and knows her style. You will not be getting overly-filtered or whitewashed photos with her, she keeps her work colorful and in an "as-it-happened" style. Thanks to Stephanie, our photos will forever be a timeless memory of one of the biggest and happiest days of our lives.”

She was communicative throughout the entire planning process and was exactly where she needed to be on the day without taking away unnecessary time and attention, letting us experience our special day to the fullest. Her experience shows in both the quality of her work and the support she provides on the day.

“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.”

“Katie was a remarkable wedding photographer. When budgeting my wedding, photography and videography were a top priority. I had always dreamed of beautiful photos and videos that could be held forever. I began searching for photographers and quickly was recommended Katie. After talking to Katie and viewing her work I decided to hire her. She appeared to be a fun, organized photographer, and upon hiring her I realized she was so much more! Katie set up our engagement photos, a true test to see our compatibility as a couple & photographer. We left our engagement session confident that Katie was the photographer that could perfectly capture our big day. We received our edited engagement photos quickly and were very pleased. The week before the wedding zoom call eased my nerves of ensuring Katie got every picture I wanted. The day of the wedding my family couldn’t believe how incredible Katie worked. She kept us on schedule, helped fluff my dress, helped keep me calm, and so much more. Katie had poses ready, which made photos a breeze. We never once had to ask Katie to take a photo, she was already there ready to capture it. Our photos are absolutely gorgeous and we have received more compliments than I could ever count on them. I would absolutely recommend Katie for any of your photography needs. I hired a photographer and walked away with a friend! We love Katie and have continued to use her to capture our photos throughout our “year of firsts” as a married couple. Every time we are absolutely pleased with her work!”

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!
