IRONWOOD WEDDING | BOWLING GREEN, KY DOCUMENTARY PHOTOGRAPHERS

Vanessa + Justin flew from China to get married in her hometown of Bowling Green. They are probably two of the smartest, quickest people we’ve ever met, and we spent a good part of the day just laughing at their antics.

The event itself was gorgeous (shoutout to Ivory Grace Event Planning — the best around) but what stood out the most was their carefree attitude about it all. If they were ever bothered or worried about things going wrong, we could never tell. It was so sweet to see that a majority of the guests were at the venue long before the ceremony began, just to hang out & get ready together.

If your wedding day is an expression of your life together, then this day was goofy & carefree & lovely all at the same time — what a wonderful statement to make.

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.
