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.

Where to begin?! Anna made my wedding day MAGICAL! Our photos felt like actual works of art, yet somehow were captured in such a natural way. She was the one decision I made as far as vendors go that I actually felt peace with. I had zero doubts she would make mine and my husbands day so special, and she truly did. I feel like I'm transported back into time every time I look at our photos!

Hey there, I'm Amani I'm a Kentucky native, born and raised in Lexington, KY. I'm a Sagittarius, INFP and Enneagram 4. In English, I have a lot of creative energy and feel deeply, and I hope that reflects. Since doing photography all I can strive for is to present to you the truest version of yourself and your story. Capturing the fluidity of life's moments in a way only we can.

We could not have asked for better photographers or more stunning photos! They captured everything throughout the busy weekend -- fun candid moments, amazing bridal party shots, and beautiful couple portraits, really making use of the venue to give us a variety of settings and capturing all the different atmospheres and feelings throughout the day and into the evening. On top of that, Amani was extremely easy to work with from the start of the planning process all the way through our wedding weekend. We had multiple events in different locations throughout the weekend, as well as large families and a big wedding. She handled all of these with professionalism and ease, giving us a custom experience that always felt well under control. We've gotten so many compliments on the sneak peek photos already, and we cannot wait to get the rest!

I feel so lucky to have found these amazing people! Heather and her incredible team feel like family to us, even though we only met a few months ago. They really care about their clients and want them to have the best photos possible. During the wedding, Heather would always make sure I was comfortable by giving me flattering poses and pointing her portable fan at me when I was too hot from dancing at the reception, ha! She stayed in communication with me, the other vendors, and her own team flawlessly, so I didn't have to worry about a thing. Not only was everything organized and efficient, but it was also fun! Our whole wedding party had a great time making jokes and messing around with the photographers, and seeing them have fun made the whole vibe a lot better. They hyped us up in every pose and made the day nothing but positive. I would highly recommend Heather and her team to anyone who wants a photographer who cares about them! I felt like a million bucks on my wedding day, and I have to say it is mainly because of these incredible photographers. Finally, the results speak for themselves! The pictures we received literally look like they're out of a movie. Their talent is unmatched and should be talked about more. The feelings and emotions of our special day were captured in such a natural and beautiful way. I am so grateful to have these pictures for life, and I can't wait to show my kids one day. I will never be able to forget what it felt like, thanks to these incredible people with unreal talent. I also cannot believe how easy it was to book her and for such a reasonable price! Booking Heather and her team was truly the best decision we could have made. I recommend them to anyone from all walks of life. You will be welcomed and taken care of like a friend or even family!

Hi! My name is Mae, and I live in Brooklyn with my girlfriend, our two dogs Apollo and Bia, her cat Gigi and my lizard, Basil! I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

Awarded Best of Zola
Mae was an absolute pleasure to work with. I knew I liked her from the very first call. She was thorough and asked good questions to make sure she could capture what we wanted. I love the vintage-inspired look of the photos and video. She communicated when she said she would and I always received a quick response to any questions or messages I had. On the wedding day, I couldn’t imagine anyone who would make it as special as Mae did. She was more than a photographer- she helped me put on myself shoes, hyped up all the little details I stressed months over, and was just such a joy. I cannot recommend Mae enough. I loved all the photos and the video made me cry. Mae is the type of person you want to be friends with after everything is done. Trust me, book Mae!!

I photograph weddings the way I see the world — cinematically, with a focus on atmosphere, emotion, and the small moments that reveal who you are. Based in NYC and Atlanta, my approach is calm and intentional, blending natural interactions with a refined, editorial eye.

Awarded Best of Zola
After our first photographer fell through, we found Caz and luckily he happened to be available on our wedding date. From the very first contact, he was incredibly responsive (super important to us), friendly and professional. His work looked great so we were excited - then we found out he was featured in Vogue! We were stoked. He was amazing to work with on the wedding day - punctual, friendly, got all the requested shots, and the whole bridal party loved him. We got our pictures back today - and they’re so much better than we could have dreamed of. It’s no wonder he was featured in Vogue - his work is artistic, candid, and beautiful. Thank you Caz for giving us such beautiful memories so we can relive the best day of our lives.

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!
