BOWLING GREEN, KY ENGAGEMENT | SYDNEY AND CLAY

SYDNEY AND CLAY’S SUMMERTIME BOWLING GREEN ENGAGEMENT SESSION

To say I was honored when Sydney called just days after Clay proposed would be a massive understatement! My heart literally swelled when she told me that hiring us was one of their biggest priorities after getting engaged. Sydney has seen us in action many times (as a bridesmaid or guest at past weddings) and has been a constant supporter over the years. We just can’t help but love her to death!

I could instantly tell there was something special between Sydney and Clay. They’re both chill and subtle, but the way they look at each other says it all. We couldn’t be happier for them, and being part of this wedding journey is a complete honor.

Since Sydney & Clay are getting married this fall at 3M Farms, we decided to do their engagement photos in the summer for a different vibe. This session captures Kentucky in the summertime: walking down the creek, driving through the country as crops grow tall, and basking in the glow of a late sunset.

Enjoy some of our favorites from Sydney & Clay’s Bowling Green engagement session.

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.
