Engagement Sessions

OLD LOUISVILLE ENGAGEMENT | HAILEY AND JOSIAH

November 29, 2022

Hailey & Josiah met us in an Old Louisville coffee shop on the day of their engagement session (our first time hanging out irl) and we were all a little nervous about the impending/potential rain… it certainly didn’t help that the roof leaked right over our table while we were chatting over coffee. But, with it being the end of the year, we all knew we weren’t going to have another chance to take photos and catch the fall foliage before winter showed up.

But! As it often does, the weather surprised us all by clearing out and even giving us a little sunshine to take their engagement photos at St. James Court. Kudos to these two for rolling with alllll the punches and trusting our crazy process. It was so worth it! Cannot wait to celebrate with them in August at the gorgeous new Germantown Gables as they tie the knot in Louisville!

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.
