WEDDINGS

Your life, your story matters and, like history, deserves to be preserved.

It’s all meaningful, from the goofy mundane moments to the nostalgic, bittersweet ones. Our lived experience contains magnitude, beauty, complexity, and joy. As a Kentucky photographer and writer, I tell stories & capture the spectrum of human emotion.

LET ME TELL YOURS

The woman has blonde hair and is wearing a white shirt, while the man has dark curly hair and is wearing a black shirt. The top photo shows them with a ginger cat, and the bottom photo shows them with a black cat.

“KENDRA WAS A DREAM!

To the one that captured more genuine laughing faces than fake smiles; the one the immediately made us feel warmth and light at first meeting; the one that guided us through many logistical details beyond photography; the one that made our outdoorsy, inclusive, pet-friendly, dreamy wedding day come true—thank you!!

Kendra is the one, if that wasn’t obvious. I couldn’t have asked for clearer communication, more flexibility, or more genuine interest in our wants. Kendra is selfless, endearing, encouraging, strong, and accepting and her work shows her strengths. She’s literally a steal.”

— Kady & Maddy

FAQs

What types of photography do you offer?
I thoroughly enjoy and offer all types of photography projects. Contact me.

Polaroids, 35mm Film & 120mm Film.
I love incorporating film into my photography projects because of the way old-school film cameras force a degree of deliberate slowness. Film photography offers a nostalgic analog format to your story that digital can’t. A variety of film options are available as add-ons to any project. Contact me for details.

How much do you charge?
Weddings start at $5,000 and always include day-of coverage and a physical album. Other photography projects start at $675. Contact me for my pricing guide or to receive a custom quote.

Where are you based/do you travel?
I am based in Louisville, Kentucky but I frequently travel between Kentucky and Indiana. I usually take one or two bigger travel photography projects per year — Contact me to inquire about your project.

What is your availability?
Contact me for my availability & current capacity.

How to book you?
Contact me to make sure I’m available first. I’ll send you a pricing guide or a custom quote, depending on the project. We’ll have a discovery call over video or coffee to dig deeper and answer any questions you may have. To move forward, I require a 50% deposit and a signed contract to officially book, then we’re set!

How do I get scheduled for a discovery call?
You guessed it. Contact me.
