AUDUBON COUNTRY CLUB WEDDING | KRISTINA AND JACK

October 12, 2024

We could tell from the start that we were going to loveeee working with Kristina & Jack. They’re easy-going, in-love, and just down to have fun and go with the flow! Their engagement session downtown in NuLu this past winter was a blast (despite the frigidddd wind)! Luckily, their October wedding day was sunny and beautiful (typical early autumn day in Louisville!)

The highlights of the day were definitely the gorgeous Catholic ceremony at St. James, followed by the most PERFECT golden hour photos on the golf course. Not pictured: the four of us [Kristina, Jack, Portugal, and myself] crammed onto a 2-person golf cart to find the perfect location for golden hour… I was basically squatting in front of Kristina with her veil wrapped around my neck so it wouldn’t drag the ground, while she held onto my arms so I wouldn’t fly off lolol. Totally ridiculous but proof that we will do anything for photos!

We LOVE the Gallaghers and their fam/friends! We could not have had a better time documenting this beautiful wedding day!! Enjoy some of our favorites!

about us

we're shelley AND portugal

Before we were wedding photographers, we were just two kids in love. We met on Instagram and fell in love over FaceTime. A shared interest in roadkill portraiture is what brought us together (it’s a funny story), but what ultimately compelled us to take a chance on long-distance is the fact that we weren’t looking for surface-level. We craved a shared life full of connection, vulnerability, and the kind of love that changes you. Now we bring that same energy to your wedding day to capture the real story, not a performance.
