Planning a wedding is one of the most meaningful seasons of your life, and the people you choose to surround yourself with on that day truly matter. After photographing weddings across Elizabethtown, Louisville, Lexington, and Southern Kentucky, I’ve built strong relationships with talented, trusted professionals who consistently deliver excellence.
Let’s talk about first looks.
You’ve probably heard opinions — strong ones — whispered by well-meaning family members, TikTok commenters, and that one aunt who insists tradition is law. And while I love a good tradition moment, I’m here to tell you why first looks have completely stolen my heart as a wedding photographer… and why so many couples end up loving them too.
When couples ask me what makes a wedding venue truly magical, I always say this: light, space, and flexibility. And let me tell you—Phillips Grove in Radcliff, Kentucky nails all three. From the moment I stepped into this space, I knew it was something special.
This venue is the kind of place where your decor, your dress, your flowers, and—most importantly—you are the stars of the show. It’s bright, it’s modern, and it’s a blank canvas that works with any style, not against it.
Why, from a photographers point of view, you should look into hiring a wedding planner, or at the very least a coordinator. And no. A venue coordinator doesn't count... let me tell you why...
Choosing your wedding photographer is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make while planning your day. Long after the cake is eaten, the flowers are dried, and your dress is packed away… your photos are what you’ll come back to over and over again.
Located in the historic small town of Glendale, Kentucky, Glendale Gardens Wedding and Event Venue has so much to offer couples. Glendale Gardens is a beautiful piece of property with several 1800's log cabins.
