I‘m Patrick Abanathy: husband, Western Kentucky native, international traveler, lover of gardening, baking, indie/world rock (even the new stuff) and, finally, great 80s pop! I grew up in this area and am never at a loss when it comes to the many beautiful wedding settings found in and around this wonderful place. Second to my amazing wife, Elizabeth, photography has been my passion for more than 25 years and wedding photography has been my life since 2013.

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.

The photographer, Jonathan, and his assistant, were absolutely amazing. They arrived early, were flexible and really accommodating to our vision. They also really hustled! They took advantage of every spare moment they had to get additional photos, and kept us on schedule super tightly. They even carried around things like bottles of water for me (the bride) as we took lots of photos in the hot upper floor of the venue. Many guests also mentioned how beautifully the photos turned out. However, we did have an issue in which, due to an injury to the editor's hand, we did not receive our photos in the agreed-upon timeframe. Had we been informed of this delay ahead of time, we would not have had any issue just waiting a bit longer. The main concern was that we weren't alerted of this delay until after the initial deadline had passed. We did request a discount due to this, which they accommodated. And the photos did still turn out amazing!

Lacie and her husband helped us to feel so comfortable during both our engagement shoot and on our wedding day. My husband is not a fan of having his photo taken and they took this into account to make sure he felt comfortable throughout the day. Our ceremony photos and bride/groom portraits are beautiful, and our reception photos are so so fun. Highly recommend!

Hi! My name is Steve. I do visual storytelling. I’m married with three kids and in my spare time I record music and build things. I've been filming and photographing weddings since 2009. I love travel and getting to know unique couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Steven and his team to do our wedding photos and videography. I really wanted a photographer that could capture the soul of the event, and Steven did exactly that. His photos are full of life, and I shared so many portraits with guests that actually got printed out or posted online. If you're looking for hundreds of photos of your wedding party that look exactly the same and for every planned second to be documented, Steven is not your person. If you're looking to hit the big moments but focus on capturing raw moments with timeless photos to get framed, I couldn't recommend them more. I never thought I would get a wedding video because it always seemed cheesy to me. But after watching examples of his work I fell absolutely in love with his videos. I've honestly had a hard time watching ours because it evokes so much emotion. Steven was collaborative and willing to go with the flow. We gave him the difficult task of being prepared for 3 different locations with totally differing lighting (indoor/outdoor plus shooting from high sun into the night). He puts an immense amount of care into his work and the photos are truly art that we will cherish forever. If there are specific things you want covered, be sure to share a list. When it comes to capturing the moments that can't be planned, he is on the case!

I’m Jaimee—a storyteller, world traveler, and lover of old stuff. With over 100 weddings photographed, I’ve learned that wedding days are about presence > perfection. My documentary-style photography is honest, fun, and rooted in telling your story exactly as it unfolds—raw, real, and beautifully yours. I’m passionate about capturing the moments that matter most: your partner’s look during the vows, friends dancing like no one’s watching, and those in-between moments you might miss but will cherish forever. When I’m not behind the camera, I’m immersed in nature, treasure hunting in antique shops, or planning my next adventure.

Jaimee was an absolute pleasure to work with for our engagement session and maternity session(s). From our very first interaction, Jaimee's communication style was natural, authentic, and carefully articulated, putting us completely at ease. Her attention to detail and commitment to capturing every meaningful moment was unparalleled. The quality of Jaimee's work is truly one-of-a-kind - her photos are breathtaking, beautifully capturing the unique essence of our milestones in a way that will allow us to relive those memories for generations to come. Jaimee's passion for her craft is evident in every shot, and we are beyond grateful to have found such a talented photographer to document each adventure of our marriage journey. We cannot recommend Jaimee Raneigh Photography highly enough.

We can’t say enough good things about them! From the start, they felt like part of the crew, super chill, easy to work with, and just fun to be around. On the big day, they somehow managed to be everywhere without ever feeling like they were in the way. They caught all the laughs, happy tears, and little moments we didn’t even realize were happening. And when we saw the photos/video? Absolutely blown away. It’s like they bottled up the whole feeling of the day, and now we get to relive it forever.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
My newly minted husband and I were over the moon from the initial contact with Anna Elisabeth. She is an excellent listener with a superb sense of capturing our wishes in her photographs. We had an unusual experience in that we wanted to capture both of our faith traditions on different days and different geographical areas in the same state. Anna Elisabeth professionally and respectfully photographically savored these traditions beautifully with her photographic gift. She was present and her presence was professionally and discretely demonstrated. Her keen sense of recording precious moments was one of storybooks.. from having the pictures of the bride's mother place, her once veil (when the mother was married 57 years ago) to having the groom's mother putting a family heirloom bracelet on to capturing the special wink given by the groom when he first saw the bride walking down the aisle with her father. All these moments were special at the time and Anna Elisabeth captured them beautifully and discretely. Communication is very important to us, and Anna Elisabeth was professional, prompt and demonstrated honest integrity throughout the entire process. We are providing her a 5 star rating but she is off the charts and anyone who uses her will understand why she should be rated a 10!

I spent 10 years as a photojournalist covering news, sports, and political campaigns, and for the past 25 years I’ve photographed weddings with the same calm, observant approach. That experience taught me how to anticipate moments, work quickly in changing light, and capture genuine emotion without getting in the way. I focus on the natural moments as they unfold, keep portraits relaxed with gentle direction, and make family photos organized and efficient so they do not take you away from your wedding for long.

My wife and I used Roman Photography's services for our wedding in 2015 - we absolutely adore the the photos. Our fun and family were captured beautifully. We loved the work so much, we contacted Roman again ten years later to do our anniversary photos. Roman came out and did another magnificent job. He kept things playful and light (we're both uncomfortable in front of the camera) but still professional. I can't recommend Roman Photography enough!

Haley was such a pleasure to work with. We were unsure of where to have our elopement pictures taken. She gave us so many great recommendations. She was so helpful along the way, leading up to our big day! She helped take the stress out of worrying about the details of the day. She even had an assistant to help with our fur babies on the day off. She is so sweet and thoughtful. The polaroids were definitely one of our favorite parts of our wedding pictures. I would recommend Haley to anyone wanting to have their elopement/wedding brought to life by photography.

Hi, I’m Kirsten, the creative heart behind Kirsten Wray Photography! Since 2008, KWP has been capturing life’s most amazing moments, right here in Indianapolis and beyond. After earning my Bachelor of Fine Arts from Ball State University, I followed my passion for photography to the vibrant city of Indy, where I’ve been telling stories through my lens ever since.

She gave us feedback in the moment, which I really appreciated so that I could make small adjustments if needed.

Awarded Best of Zola
Words cannot fully express the gratitude we feel for the incredible team behind R&R Productions! From the moment we met them during our engagement shoot, they instantly made us feel at ease, turning what could have been a nerve-wracking experience into something genuinely fun and unforgettable. Their warm personalities, unmatched professionalism, and creative vision were evident right from the start. When it came to our wedding day—the most important day of our lives—they didn’t just capture moments; they captured the very essence of love, joy, and celebration that surrounded us. They didn’t feel like vendors; they felt like family, celebrating alongside us while documenting each precious second. They even covered us in prayer, which meant so much to us. Raphael worked through an injury without us knowing, simply because he didn’t want us to adjust anything for him. That level of dedication and selflessness left us in awe. They don’t just take pictures and record videos; they weave a story from the beginning to the end, preserving the magic and emotions in a way that’s truly extraordinary. And I just don’t even know where to begin with Rasheeda. We met through a Facebook post I replied to—one I initially thought was a scam. Boy, was I wrong! She and I ended up talking that very same day for over an hour, and it felt like we’d known each other forever. From the start, it was never just a business transaction; it felt like family helping to prepare for the big moments in life. Her warmth and genuine care meant everything to us. I don’t know what I did to be so lucky to have crossed paths with this amazing team, but I am forever grateful that we did. I honestly feel like I should keep them on retainer for every milestone in life because I cannot imagine anyone else being able to document such meaningful moments with the care and dedication they do. Choosing them was one of the best decisions we made, and we couldn’t recommend them more highly! Jerome and I are so grateful for the both of you.

After discussing the ideas that I had, she jumped into the theme wholeheartedly! Not only did she make me feel beautiful, but she worked so hard to make me feel comfortable in my own skin. As someone who has never done a birthday shoot, this is one I will cherish for years to come. Lex is truly such a kind person, and she’s so passionate about what she does!!

I am the owner and head photographer of Lu's Lens Photography. I do 95% of the work with the exception of the occasional 2nd photographer or editor. And hey, I know how to run a business, too! I graduated from Northwood University with a Bachelors in Business, but there's no teaching an eye for photography - I see the moment before it even happens. I build out all the wedding timelines with my couples, so I'm on top of your details just as much as you. I travel everywhere but mainly in Michigan and Tennessee.

Awarded Best of Zola
I worked along side Hannah as a videographer for a wedding in Benton Harbor, MI. Working with her was a great experience. Not only was she nice, easy to talk to, and fun to work with, but she is very good at what she does. It was a pleasure shooting along side her and I hope we get the chance to work together again!

Lexie Photog Story-driven wedding photography with an editorial twist. Lexie Photog is all about capturing real moments—with a touch of artistry. Blending a documentary approach with creative prompts and modern posing, Lexie tells wedding day stories exactly as they unfold—authentic, emotional, and beautifully composed. Based in Missouri and always ready to travel, I know when to step back and let the moment breathe, and when to guide you with prompts that bring out natural connection (and killer portraits). The result? Timeless, cinematic images that feel like you. No awkward poses. No stiff smiles.

Working with Lexie was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From our very first conversation, she brought a sense of calm, professionalism, and genuine care that made us feel completely at ease. On the wedding day, she moved with such grace, present, but never intrusive. It felt like she was everywhere and nowhere all at once, quietly documenting every meaningful moment. Her eye for detail is extraordinary. She captured the big, beautiful scenes. our ceremony under the trees, our first dance in golden light, but also the quiet, intimate ones we might have missed: a hand squeeze, a teary glance, a laugh caught mid-air. Every photo tells a part of our story, and looking through them feels like reliving the day all over again. Lexie has a rare talent. Not just for photography, but for people. Her ability to make us feel seen, celebrated, and completely ourselves was truly special. We’ll cherish these photos forever, and we’re endlessly grateful for her artistry and heart.
