Wedding photographer in Kentucky and beyond for classically joy-filled couples
LET'S CHAT!
Capturing timeless photos you can feel
It’s true what they say-your wedding day will fly by. Those 9 months of pregnancy will feel like 9 days. Your 5 year old will turn 6, then 7, way too quickly. I don’t want you to ever forget the strength of your bond and how your love feels. Whether it’s your wedding in Kentucky, your engagement season, or just another day around the sun, your life deserves to be celebrated and captured authentically. Your photo experience should strengthen your connection and love for one another. Nothing makes me happier than seeing couples giggling in front of my lens, realizing how beautiful their life together truly is!
You might be an AK bride if:
You're head over heels in love
You’re a dreamer and a bit of a hopeless romantic
You don’t want to miss any of the thoughtful details and precious moments that make up your big day
Her photography skills are breathtaking and being around her sweet personality during our engagement shoot, our wedding day and the time in between made our wedding experience THAT more special!! There’s nobody else I’d rather have had to capture the most perfect day AND to have for our future special moments in life! I’ll forever recommend her!

I've had many experiences with photographers over the years and no experience has been as wonderful as with Amanda Karis Photography.
and made my fiancé (who normally hates taking pictures) walk away from the shoot feeling comfortable and excited. We could not recommend Amanda Karis Photography more! I will definitely be using her services in the future
Sara & Patrick
She was the BEST cheerleader
We wouldn't recommend any photographer more than Amanda. We wouldn't have wanted anyone else to shoot our day but you!

Amanda is kind, genuine, easy-going and made us feel comfortable right from the start.
She did both our engagement and wedding day photographs. She made us feel so comfortable and we had so much fun! The photos turned out amazing and I want to wallpaper our whole house with them. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and ensure we have amazing photo evidence of an incredible day!

Weddings and tradition go hand-in-hand. Like peanut butter and jelly or cake and ice cream, life is simply better when they’re together. And when those traditions are deeply rooted in family history and celebrated in places as timeless as The Seelbach and St. James Cathedral, they become all the more meaningful.

There’s something incredibly sacred about being invited into someone’s home—especially when it’s during those quiet, tender newborn days. Maddie and Zach were so gracious to allow me into their new home only a few weeks after little Mara made her entrance into the world. This session was extra special to me because Maddie and Zach […]
