Kens Cotton Photography

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $2,100
  • Serves Crab Orchard, KY

Since 2022, I’ve been telling love stories with an editorial eye and a documentarian’s heart. My work lives in that space where timeless elegance meets honest emotion—where the unposed and the beautifully composed exist side by side. Whether it’s an intimate elopement in a quiet corner of the world or a grand celebration surrounded by hundreds, my approach is grounded in trust, subtlety, and intention. I believe in honoring every story, every culture, every kind of connection, with care and with artistry.This isn’t just about beautiful photos. It’s about capturing what’s real and making it unforgettable.

Awarded Best of Zola
I couldn’t be happier with how my wedding pictures turned out! Kenz did an amazing job getting more relaxed and candid shots like we wanted. You can see a lot of personality in or friends, family, and my husband and I which makes them even more special for us. I also couldn’t believe how great the pictures of my husband and I turned out. I didn’t know we could be so model-esc! She was very organized to work with and was one of the easiest parts of the wedding planning. Highly recommend!

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!

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 husband and I come as a photo team! We feel your day should be captured your way! So we tailor our style and editing to each unique couple! It’s not about us, it’s about you. We will help you document what is most important to you, the way you envision! Just like you, we have felt awkward in front of the camera. We’ve had photos taken of us that we didn’t like. We will make sure you not only feel comfortable, but that you look good! We give you prompts to keep you moving so you look and feel natural and comfortable.

Awarded Best of Zola
Where do I start with Lacie and Tim?!? Lacie was the first vendor I booked and for a good reason, it took one call and that was it - I knew she would be perfect for our wedding day. My husband and I have always been photo-shy and have often took awkward photos, and had a fear this would happen during our wedding day. There was never a moment that Lacie did not know what to do or what to suggest. We never had to think about it. What I believe contributes to Lacie's photo magic is she is an amazing person, incredibly easy to talk to and a joy to be around, and makes you feel confident and comfortable - we realized during photos it was like we were gabbing and being around one of our friends, and this distracted us from the fact and anxiety that we were actually taking a photo. Not only did this make taking photos fun, but it captured a lot of great candid moments and the photos felt natural and not overly staged. On wedding day, they were on top of it - timely, organized, and efficient. They were also incredibly supportive while we were both pretty anxious. They also give your sneak peaks freaky fast. We have already seen a few of them, and they look straight out of a magazine. It was an absolute joy working with Lacie and Tim, and we definitely plan to use them again in the future as we grow our family.

Love Knot Photography

  • Serves Crab Orchard, KY

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
Isaac’s photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking.

Awarded Best of Zola
Choosing the right photographer is a big deal—truly one of the decisions that can make or break your entire experience. We met Nathan at the very beginning of our journey, during our engagement shoot at the Biltmore Estate. We were both nervous, awkward, and completely unsure of what to expect. Then Nathan arrived, and everything changed. Within minutes he had us laughing, relaxed, and genuinely enjoying ourselves. That was the moment we knew he wasn’t just talented—he was special. So when it came time to choose someone to capture our wedding in Sedona, we took a chance and asked if he would fly out. Honestly, we thought it was a long shot… but he immediately said yes. And thank goodness he did. I will never forget the moment he walked into the room on my wedding day. I had just started feeling that wave of nerves while finishing my hair, and the instant Nathan stepped in, I felt completely at ease. How does he do that? He has this quiet magic about him—an ability to ground you, hype you up, and disappear into the background all at once. His passion is infectious. His eye for intimate, meaningful moments is unreal. And somehow, while capturing every single one of those moments, he manages to remain practically invisible. When we received our gallery, we both laughed, cried, and sat there in awe. It felt like reliving the day, but through the lens of someone who truly understood us. To put it simply: Nathan is gifted. Exceptionally, unmistakably gifted. We even showed our engagement photos to another top-tier photographer, and her reaction was: “Book him immediately. His editing is some of the most incredible work I’ve seen—I want to talk to him myself!” If you're reading reviews trying to decide who to trust with your memories, stop here. You’ve found the one. Nathan exceeded every expectation we had—and then ten more we didn’t even know we should have. He is the best of the best.

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.

We carry this love for love into every wedding we photograph.

We absolutely loved working with Cara and can’t recommend her enough. From the very beginning, she was flexible, easygoing, and genuinely wonderful to be around. We had a few plan changes along the way, and Cara handled everything with total grace — no stress, no pressure, just support. On the wedding day itself, she went above and beyond to make both of us feel comfortable and special. Neither of us are naturals in front of a camera, but Cara made everything feel relaxed and fun, and it shows in the photos. We felt truly taken care of. One thing that meant a lot to us: during a time when finding vendors for a Jewish wedding can feel a little nerve-wracking, Cara didn’t blink twice. She was completely open, respectful, and excited to be part of our day, which made us feel so at ease and so grateful. And the photos are stunning. She captured the joy, emotion, and energy of the day perfectly — we love them so much. If you want a photographer who is talented, kind, flexible, and deeply invested in her couples, Cara is the one. We’re so thankful we found her. — Molly & Andrew

I’m Cameron, a husband and photographer who got my start in commercial and fashion work before falling in love with weddings while planning my own. I focus on editorial-style weddings, with a special love for candid, unscripted moments—the jokes from the speeches, the look of joy on relatives face, the tearing up during the ceremony. All these things that make each day unforgettable. The moments I cherish from my own wedding are the ones I aim to capture for my clients, so you can relive them for years to come.

We have chosen Cam as our wedding photographer and couldn't be happier so far! Cam has been super responsive and so friendly. He scheduled a call with us to get to know us as a couple and make sure we all had the same vision. We had our engagement shoot recently and we are so happy we chose Cam! My fiancé and I have never had professional pictures taken and Cam made it so easy. First, Cam created a great inspo board and invited me to collaborate on it. It was great that he put in all that work to make sure he understood what we wanted. He was so prepared that when he was checking out the details of our chosen site and found it was closed due to the government shut down. Cam didn't panic and helped us find a new location last minute. During the shoot, Cam helped us feel completely comfortable and at ease. You can tell Cam really cares about his art and the couples he works with. We are so excited to continue working with Cam!

I’m a cinematic/documentary style photographer based in East Tennessee but I’m all over the globe documenting true love. I’m a wife, mom and lover of Jesus. I love people SO much it hurts and weddings are so special to me. So welcome!! I’m so glad you’re here :)

Savanah Marie Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with on our wedding day. From the beginning, their communication was easy-going, clear, and consistent, which put us at ease throughout the planning process. On the day itself, Savanah was so considerate - it was freezing outside, which made it difficult to take photos, but she gave us ample breaks to warm up and recover from the unrelenting wind. She also made sure to capture all the poses I had requested. While we haven't received the full collection back yet, the sneak peeks we've seen are absolutely captivating and such high-quality. The photos beautifully capture our love story and the beauty of our wedding day. I have never felt more beautiful and my husband feels the exact same way. Savanah's work is truly of the highest value, and we couldn't be happier with the results.

We’re Lights and Sound Media Weddings—your one-stop dream team for unforgettable, high-energy wedding experiences. We’re not just here to document your big day—we’re here to elevate it. From cinematic videography to swoon-worthy photography, epic DJ sets, seamless coordination, timeline planning, and even custom social media content, we do it all with flair, flexibility, and heart. Every package is handcrafted around your style, your story, and your budget—because no two love stories should look the same. We’re obsessed with getting every detail right and making you feel celebrated, not stressed.

Working with S&LM was pretty good. They communicated to me closer to the event, and asked me for everything they needed and more. The pictures I have seen so far look great, and the small video I have seen looked good as well. They made sure I got almost all of the specific photos I wanted, and had a take-charge attitude while photographing, and making sure everyone was in the right place and looking great! The DJs were pretty good, but didn't know all the specific songs we mentioned that we wanted played for certain dances/moments. They also didn't announce the first dance until they were hitting the play button, which threw our choreography off until we asked them to restart! Unfortunately, some people missed our dance because they didn't know that it was happening. It still worked out in the end, and all the right songs were played at the right moments. All in all, I would definitely recommend Lights & Sound Media to prospective couples.

I am a photographer (obviously) from Frankfort, but I currently reside in NKY. I am an enneagram type two (wing three), which basically means I’m a hard worker and a giver.

As a photographer, my goal is much more than just to take photos that look good. I want to help capture the spark between you and your significant other.

Hannah at Winn's Lens was an amazing, understanding, and great listener throughout our wedding day. The quality of her work was outstanding, stunning, and exactly what we asked for. She truly brought our special day to life, not only capturing incredible photos from every angle, but also helping to wrangle our wedding party and making sure my dress and hair stayed in place.

When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3
