We knew going into this day that Maggie & Lloyd were prioritizing having fun above all else. The details were just simply details to them — the main focus of this day was everyone gathering to celebrate this amazing couple. And Ice House was the perfect destination for their downtown Louisville wedding! Between Maggie crowdsurfing & Lloyd sobbing during their first look (along with everyone else watching from the windows), this was such a dream day for us to shoot as documentary wedding photographers.

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.
