I had the absolute pleasure of capturing the Bonets’ wedding this past September, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. When the bride reached out to me, I was thrilled—especially since we go way back to elementary school! Being trusted to document such a special day was truly an honor, and their intimate wedding at 314 Exchange was everything they dreamed of and more.



Nestled in the heart of Louisville, 314 Exchange provided the perfect blend of historic charm and modern elegance. The warm brick walls, soft lighting, and cozy atmosphere made it an ideal setting for their celebration. The ceremony was intimate and heartfelt, surrounded by their closest family and friends, creating an atmosphere that felt both romantic and deeply personal.



Every detail reflected their love story—from the carefully chosen florals that adorned the venue to the soft music that played as they exchanged vows. The bride looked absolutely breathtaking, and the groom’s expression when he first saw her walking down the aisle was pure magic. Moments like these are what make weddings so special, and I feel so grateful to have been there to capture them.


If you’re a couple looking to capture a special moment—whether it’s a proposal, engagement, or just celebrating your unique love story—I'd love to help! I specialize in authentic, timeless photography that tells your story in a way that feels personal and meaningful.


Whether it’s a location that holds special meaning or one that just feels right, I’m here to help make your vision come to life!


Take a look at the gallery below to see more of this special day.
