Louisville, KY Wedding photographer

P.S. - I’m proud to be an inclusive + body positive vendor and my goal is to make everyone feel valued and comfortable.

Anti-discrimination statement: Our differences are part of our stories, and everyone deserves to have a photography experience free of discrimination, one that is body positive and leaves you feeling truly cared for and loved.

I am committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming environment for all people I interact with, both in my personal and professional life. I do not discriminate based on gender, sex, religion, culture, ability, body type or sexual preference.

I'm johanna, and I do weddings differently


Your wedding day is meant for you and your partner to ENJOY! There can be so many expectations for everything you “have” to do, but what do you WANT to do? What excites you about your wedding day?

This is one of the few occasions where people you know and love from different points in your life are going to be with you - party accordingly!

I want you to look at your wedding photos often and feel exactly what you felt then. Let me capture everything from the meaningful details you’ve planned, the sentimental moments and the sweet dance moves. You’ll ALWAYS go right back to the emotions of this day when you look back at your photos.


I only take on two full-day Saturday weddings a month to keep a balanced workflow so my galleries are always delivered on time or early.

My business is legal and insured, and all weddings will have a contract to protect your investment.


you can trust me to provide the best client experience


 I treat your wedding day as if it were my own. I almost always get emotional when couples say their vows. Your family becomes my family on wedding day. Even the small details are an important part of this occasion. My goal is to be a positive and helpful presence so that you can fully relax and enjoy the celebration.

A whole lot of heart

You’ll get frame worthy photos without the photo timeline taking over the focus of your day. My couples say their favorite pictures are the ones they didn’t know I took. I’m all about the candid, sentimental and intimate moments, and I’ll make sure we get the classic poses too!

3 reasons to hire me as your wedding photographer

amazing reviews from past couples

I could never say enough good things about Johanna! She is incredibly talented, kind, and will highlight all the best parts of you in your pictures.

I worked with her for my boudoir session, engagement session, and my wedding and our pictures came out better than I could have dreamed!!!

emma + jace

Johanna, there are not enough words in this world to describe just how truly talented and special you are! The level of comfort you provided Adrian + I on our big day did not go unnoticed.

Our friends and family and nothing but great things to say about “our photographer who got on top of chairs to get the perfect shot!” Your professionalism and ability to keep us calm during some chaotic moments were memorable for us.

We look forward to our future and making sure you will be
there with us to capture all those moments!                                

Michelle + Adrian

Johanna did a wonderful job with our wedding photos! She captured our personalities, and the photos themselves are just beautiful - the coloring and depth is so true to life. We felt very comfortable with her and are grateful we found her. We highly recommend her to any couple looking for a wedding photographer!

Calley + Lillian

First, Johanna is the sweetest! And she is so extremely talented. My husband and I could not have been more pleased with not only the photos, but just her overall attitude and helpfulness on our wedding day. We just honestly enjoyed having her be a part of this experience for us. Everything just seemed so fun and effortless! And the photos? Wow. There were SO MANY and we loved every single one. To say we’re pleased is an understatement. We just love her. 10/10 would recommend Frames and Letters Photography to photograph your wedding.

Trusting your photographer.

When you trust your photographer on creative choice and allow me to observe moments as they unfold, you will end up with truly unique images. 

Many times, if people give me a "shot list" from Pinterest, it doesn't really allow me to capture the day as it really is, and it ends up looking like a copy of everyone else's day. 

As a seasoned wedding professional, I know the classic poses most couples like to have. My favorite thing is finding what makes each wedding special - whether it's the family connections, the lighting, the couple's personality, etc.

Trust me to capture magical moments you experience as you enjoy one of the best days of your lives.



What's important to you as a photographer to provide the best client experience?

All my clients can order custom albums, USBs, prints, and other photo products through my professional lab. 

I also design the wedding album (using images you choose) as a complimentary service for clients who order albums when they book with me.

Do you offer albums and other products?

Absolutely - I love to travel! While most of the weddings I photograph are in Kentucky or Southern Indiana, I've done destination weddings in 9 different states and internationally (Colombia).

Reach out for a custom quote, my passport is ready!

As a wedding photographer, I work with a lot of wedding vendors throughout the year! I wrote a blog post with over 30 Louisville wedding vendors that I've worked with and recommend. These are vendors I trust to provide a quality experience for couples on their wedding day based on my personal experience working as a team. Click the link to the right to read the full list, which has photos and links for each vendor!

do you travel for weddings?

Relax, I've got you! You can check out my Instagram for ideas from other sessions. During your session, I'll show you exactly what to do so you don't have to feel awkward! I'll be giving you tons of compliments to boost your confidence and help you enjoy the experience.

what if my partner and I don't feel comfortable in front of the camera?

This is a one hour session where we can visit 2 locations and you can wear 2 different outfits. A lot of couples like to pick a more casual look and a more dressy one. 

What does the complimentary engagement session include?

I always send a few previews within one week of your session, and the full edited gallery will be ready within 8 calendar weeks of your wedding. 

What is your editing turnaround time?

Most collections include a complimentary engagement session, 6+ hours of photography, a second photographer, and all the high-resolution edited images in an online gallery with print release.

Add-ons like boudoir sessions, albums and USBs are available with some collections or a la carte.


what do wedding collections include?

Saturdays in the spring and fall are high demand dates for wedding photography. Reach out as soon as you know your wedding date and have secured your venue! 

I only take on 2 full-day Saturday weddings per month to keep my workload balanced and send galleries on time.
