Awarded Best of Zola
We got married on September 30, 2023, and honestly, I didn’t want anything too posed or stiff—and that’s exactly what we got. Our photographer kept things moving, gave quick, simple direction, and somehow managed to capture the vibe of the whole day without making it feel like a photoshoot. The photos feel real, fun, and totally us. Definitely the easiest part of wedding planning.

Personally, my husband and I have been married for a little over 20 years. I am a mother of 2 beautiful teenage daughters. I am also a lover of scrapbooks, holiday traditions, photography, PSL, Pinterest and wine. Organizationally, I like to check in with all of my clients each week on Tuesdays. This helps us all stay organized and makes sure tasks do not sneak up on us. I find joy in bringing their vision to life. Making you feel comfortable and taken care of during a party is my love language.

SantanaRain was one of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning. We did month of coordination and Nickie was available to text, call, and meet for zoom calls! She and her team put us at ease and filled in the gaps of the things we didn’t even think of. Her team helped facilitate the day perfectly and everything was on time. Nickie had such a creative brain and her background in all her events helped with structuring the day. She was great to brainstorm with and we often asked for her advice on details. We did not stress at all. THANK YOU! We are forever grateful.

My husband and I are beyond grateful for Kyle of Kyle Campbell Photography! If you're looking for a photographer who is professional, kind, and truly talented, Kyle is your person. He was so flexible when our engagement shoot didn’t go exactly as planned, adjusting quickly and effortlessly and our photos turned out to be phenomenal! On our wedding day, he arrived not only on time but early and followed us throughout the day without ever making us feel overwhelmed. He respected our timeline, guided us with a creative eye, helping us feel comfortable in front of the camera. He also made sure to capture every photo on our request list. What I loved most about working with Kyle, though, is how he truly captured what it FELT like to be at our wedding. From candid moments and guest interactions to the small, intimate glimpses we didn’t even realize were happening, he caught it all so beautifully. The love, the pure joy, and the emotions on the faces of everyone who attended shines through in every photo of our gallery. His work was worth every penny and then some; we know that these are images we’ll treasure for a lifetime! We’d be honored to work with him again someday for future family photos. Kyle is not only an incredibly talented photographer, but also a genuinely kind and thoughtful person. We’re so grateful he was there to capture such a special moment in our lives.

  • Photographer

  • Serves Pekin, IN

I’m a documentary-style wedding photographer with a true-to-color approach, focused on capturing real moments as they naturally unfold. Most couples tell me they’re not comfortable in front of the camera, and that’s completely normal. I’m experienced at guiding people just enough to feel at ease, without turning the day into a production or pulling you out of the moment. Outside of weddings, I’m usually at home with my husband and our three kids, which has taught me a lot about patience, flexibility, and staying calm when plans inevitably change. Skills that turn out to be very useful on a wedding day.

I'm a wedding, lifestyle, and portrait photographer servicing Louisville and Lexington, KY. I love love and I love capturing it more than anything. (Except for dogs. There's nothing on the planet I love more than dogs!) When I'm not behind the camera, you can find me curled up somewhere watching Parks and Recreation (again), or on a plane for a spontaneous trip. Traveling keeps my heart happy, so if you're looking for a photographer who is willing to travel for elopements, weddings, or engagements, I am your girl!

We absolutely adored working with Bethany on our engagement shoot and wedding. She is so talented! When we initially met with her my wife and I communicated our different personal tastes with photography (which are not necessarily the same) and she did such a good job taking photos and editing them to match both of our styles. She was so kind, enthusiastic, professional, and knew exactly what to do to get great pictures. We felt so comfortable during our photos and she did great with special requests. She takes any requests and preferences always into account. Bethany will pretty much be our photographer for everything for the rest of our lives! I cannot communicate enough how grateful we are for her and how much we recommend her to everyone!

Apex Music

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,300
  • Serves Pekin, IN

Apex Music is your one stop shop for your wedding entertainment needs. We provide everything needed from your tip down the isle, to the last song of the night. All of our packages come with dance floor lighting. we also provide separate sound systems to accommodate multiple spaces, at no additional charge.

Picking Jeff as our DJ was our easiest wedding decision — which was a welcome relief among so many decisions. Music was the biggest thing my husband was interested in for the wedding and his interactions with Jeff got him excited about wedding planning. I interviewed 4 other DJs and none of them came close to the quality service or value of price that Jeff did. Every other DJ was a scripted phone call, or I felt that they didn’t actually listen to my information or questions. I met Jeff in person and could tell instantly he was our DJ. He was personable, flexible in meeting time (I was coming from out of state), and came prepared. He already had a list of questions ready to better understand what we wanted, walked me through his process, showed me his paperwork (which you can start working on immediately after booking, was super helpful for us). He took the time to get our details right and connect to us as a couple. He was always early, prepared (complete with backups), and integrated smoothly with the other vendors. We were a smidge delayed from photos and he checked in with us in a way that kept us relaxed and kept things fun for the guests. The way dinner and photos were structured could have been a big boring gap in our reception, if he hadn’t helped us figure out how to fill that time with interaction and then executed it perfectly. Our guests really liked his personality and that our favorite songs were played on the dance floor. The lights made the party!!! Other DJs were charging double his prices for less quality equipment and service, so the value can’t be matched. Definitely recommending Apex to all!

Neither myself, my husband, or any of our friends or family have spent much time in front of a camera but Sydney made it feel like such a fun and natural process for all of us. She is such a kind hearted, charismatic, funny, personable person to have around and really did bring such an added light to our big day.

We hosted our wedding reception here and LOVED it. The space is beautiful on its own and does not need a lot of decorations. It was nice and easy having the alcohol provided by West Sixth (just had to meet a bar minimum, which we did easily with 80 some guests). I also liked that we were able to bring our own food in, which was provided by a local restaurant. Staff is friendly and communication was easy aside from an email glitch. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn’t change anything!

Meeting with potential couples for a face-to-face coffee date is my jam, as I think personality is very important. Being a pretty laid-back person in general, keeping my couples calm is one of my biggest goals. Our motto is if something goes wrong on your wedding day, it does no one any good to panic or freak out. We come up with a solution and make it happen, oftentimes without you even knowing it happened.

Ginna is the very best at what she does. I was desperate for help planning my wedding and from the moment that she took over, she made my life so much easier! She went above and beyond to make my day perfect. I would recommend her to anyone that wants a smooth, stress-free day! She is kind and will have your back throughout the entire process!!

Hi! I'm a documentary-style wedding photographer and videographer in the Louisville, Kentucky area. Capturing genuine love, happiness, and awkward moments is my specialty. I give you space to be yourselves and document those in-between moments and let your personality as a couple shine through. Let's capture your story.

Awarded Best of Zola
Where to start, where to start… There are just so many good things I can say. Working with Adam was so refreshing, effortless, and fun! I’ll break down my review in a couple different areas. 1. Professional, but never stiff – Adam is a joy to work with. He has perfected the balance between professional but still lighthearted and fun. It’s all about the photos and the process, but yes, we will gab about Dungeons & Dragons in between photos. I felt the ease and comfort of working with a close friend, but the confidence and assurance of working with a seasoned professional. As someone who can be awkward in photos, this made all the difference, and I was able to relax and enjoy the wedding and know that I’m going to get good photos. 2. Personable – Again, I felt like I was working with a friend, but never in a way that I felt I wasn’t getting professional services. We can laugh, joke, and then discuss timelines and money in the same breath without issue. He took the time to get to know me and my wife and really cater our engagement session to represent us. We did a Dungeons & Dragons theme and it was so fun, especially because he totally understands and plays the game as well so it was great to geek out about it and get some fantastic photos. But you can easily tell he was genuinely interested in us and making this a perfect experience for us, not putting us into a mold that worked best for him. 3. Technical Ability – the photos really speak for themselves and his technical ability. His use of lighting, angles, focus, and catching those candid moments is amazing. You can just tell that he knows his way around his equipment and had created a seamless process for capturing an event. It really was seamless – while I was catching up with friends at the wedding, he’s setting up a photo station for those staged, family photos. He ushered all us in, got us set up, knocked out the photos, and then tore everything down and was back to the ceremony before I even realized I wanted him to get a photo of something else. I had the thought of “Oh, I want to get this” and boom, he’s already there. He had great ideas for photos, too, which was super helpful as I’m not really creative that way. As someone who needs a bit more direction in how to pose and facial expressions, Adam has a gentle, polite manner. But the fact that he took the time to say, “Hey, can you lift your chin a little?” or “Can you relax your shoulders just a tad?” was comforting because it shows he’s looking at the whole picture and thinking about how the client will feel about how they look in the picture. The little things that maybe seem “picky” or not “that important” can make all the difference, and he makes sure that the person in the photo is going to be their most flattering selves. So, yeah, 5/5 stars, thumbs up, would 100% recommend. Prices are fair and payment systems worked really well for us. I never felt like I would be cheated out of anything. I definitely got my money’s worth and then some. Turn-around time for photos was spot-on. I got married on 2/28/2021, and got a sneak-peek a few days later with polished, sharp, amazing photos.

I've been working with Andy (and then Jamie) since the start of their business and seeing how they've grown is incredible. Jamie has a way of making everyone around her comfortable. The way they are able to craft wedding films that all feel unique to each couple yet maintain that Slye look and feel is aspirational. There is no cookie cutter feeling with Slye. Booking them is one of the best wedding decisions you will make!

Built in 1842, historic Simmstown Manor has a rich story. Originally constructed by Harvey McElroy for his daughter Mariah, the home later passed to John Simms after the Civil War. Unlike many, Simms preserved his wealth through the war and acquired the mansion and its surrounding land, eventually owning 2,400 acres. The Simms family added a two-story north wing and moved in by 1868, hosting grand gatherings for the region’s most prominent families. When John’s wife, Sarah Cecilia, died in 1895, he divided his land among their five children, giving Simmstown to his youngest, Mary, with whom he lived until his death. The property remained in the family until 1983, when it was sold to the current owner, Larry Hodge. Both the house and grounds later underwent extensive renovation, preserving as much historic character as possible.

We just had a beautiful winter wedding in January 2026! Caron was so helpful and accommodating. She and her staff are so kind and gave the best service! We were able to have everything taken care of on the property. From the rehearsal, the ceremony, the reception, the catering, to staying in the guest house all weekend! Caron takes care of everything for you and allows you to enjoy every bit of your wedding! I am so appreciative of everything and I’m so thankful I chose The Tucker Homestead for my big day!
