A Downtown Louisville Engagement Session Overflowing With Laughter and Joy
As a Louisville wedding photographer, there are certain engagement sessions that remind me exactly why I love this work—and Hannah and Drew’s downtown Louisville engagement session was absolutely one of them. These two brought so much laughter, goofiness, and genuine connection that the entire experience felt like photographing pure happiness.
I’ve had the privilege of working with Drew’s family for over ten years, so getting to photograph him and Hannah as they start this new chapter together felt incredibly special.
-A Goofy Groom + A Bride With the Best Laugh-
Some couples take a few minutes to warm up in front of the camera…
This was not one of those couples.
Drew is effortlessly goofy—the kind of person who can light up a room with one joke or one exaggerated pose. Hannah? She laughs with her whole heart. Her smile is bright, her joy is genuine, and she spent most of the session laughing so much that I had to pause a few times because I was laughing too.
The combination of his playful energy and her contagious laughter made this engagement session feel vibrant, fun, and completely natural.
Downtown Louisville is one of my favorite places for engagement photography in Kentucky. The mixture of industrial textures, historic brick, riverfront views, and colorful city corners gives every couple a gallery filled with variety.
We wandered through St. James Court in Old Louisville, Seelbach Hotel, Slugger Museum, Whiskey Row, tucked into quiet alleyways, and found beautiful light in places most people walk past every day. Whether they were strolling hand-in-hand or stopping mid-walk to laugh at one of Drew’s jokes, every moment felt authentic and completely them.
The city brought the charm—these two brought the magic.
Having photographed Drew’s family for so many years, this session was a full-circle moment. Seeing him step into this next chapter with someone as wonderful as Hannah—and being trusted to capture it—was an honor.
Hannah and Drew, thank you for filling downtown Louisville with joy during your session and for making the entire afternoon feel like a celebration. Your wedding day is going to be absolutely unforgettable, and I can’t wait to capture the next part of your story.
