Unscripted moments make the best memories (and the best photos)

Colorful wedding photography for couples with a vibrant love story

Your wedding is a room full of people who left their fur babies to come party with you!

Here, you don’t have to tone yourself down or be a model (because it’s not a styled shoot, it’s your wedding). That means your sister might whisper something in your ear that makes you both laugh, your best friend might give a slightly unhinged toast, and someone’s tie might end up around their head by 10 p.m. (and nobody will care!) 

I’m not here to turn you into someone else, because you don’t need to change anything to be worth documenting. 

I’ve photographed interracial and multicultural couples, LGBTQIA+ weddings, second marriages, ballroom galas, micro weddings, and 400+ guest celebrations.

It's YOUR wedding day… consider this your permission slip to be yourselves.

At some point during your wedding reception, you’ll look around and realize everyone you love showed up for you. That’s reason enough to capture it right.

As a former teacher, I love a timeline, anticipate needs, ask thoughtful questions, and send reminders before you think to ask for them. From the moment you inquire to the moment your album is in your hands, you’ll know exactly what’s happening next.

This is how you end up:

Cleaning out your glove box and finding a photostrip from the reception, slightly bent, still perfect.

Scrolling for a screenshot and accidentally hit that photo of your dad laughing during the toasts.

With your best friend texting the dance floor pic again with “I STILL CANNOT BELIEVE THIS HAPPENED” and you laugh like it’s happening all over again.

That’s what I’m photographing.

Hi, I’m Johanna, a Louisville, KY photographer who’s deeply sentimental and equally as organized.

Did we pass the vibe check? Love that for us! 

Speaking of, iconic dance floor photos incoming… 

“All of our wedding guests absolutely raved about her for how kind, fun, and organized she was, and loved how she not only captured my husband and me, but also all of our friends and family as well. Some of the best pictures are of our guests dancing together (we got the absolute sweetest pictures of all the older couples dancing to a slow song), laughing, or just having an awesome time.” 

– Emma B.

“During the wedding, she made an effort to know who our parents were, learn our bridal party's names, and work with the videographer too. She was sooo easy to work with at our wedding and she was easily the perfect addition to our day.”

– Isabella C. 

You’ll be too busy hearing your partner's voice shake during vows, hugging your friends who flew in from across the country, realizing just how many people showed up for you, laughing when the wedding party busts out epic dance moves (maybe even in a shark costume), and yelling the lyrics to a 2000s throwback on the dance floor!

There will be a moment when you forget about the camera entirely.

That’s when the most iconic candid photos happen. 

“Johanna was able to share our wedding photos earlier than expected and they were absolutely stunning. Her photos are vivid, colorful, and they just pop.”

The answer is - it depends! For traditional Saturday weddings in peak months (spring and fall), inquire as soon as possible. Popular dates book 12-18 months in advance. For microweddings, courthouse weddings or elopements on other days of the week, availability is more flexible.

Since each wedding is unique, I recommend scheduling a free consultation with me to discuss your vision for the wedding day and photography. I offer a range of packages that cover intimate, low-key wedding days all the way to full-day packages and multi-day destination weddings and celebrations.

Most couples choose to have a second photographer on their wedding day for ease and additional perspective. It's essential for large wedding parties or couples getting ready in multiple locations to ensure we document your entire day.

While I know the main highlights of the day are so memorable, I aim to focus on the moments of your wedding day that can't be scripted. Those candid, sentimental moments that you can just FEEL when you look back at the photos. I am a grounded presence on a day filled with so many emotions, keep my couples on schedule without feeling rushed, learn everyone's names and ensure you feel celebrated all day long!

I’D LOVE TO WORK WITH YOu

If you want photos that feel like your actual day and are someone who cares about the sappy moments as much as the carefree moments on dance floor…
