Lexington, KY Wedding Photographer & Filmmaker

Live oaks, coastal verandas, and golden evenings — Lexington weddings are made for film.

Photographing weddings in Lexington

The Southeast gives Lexington weddings that unmistakable warmth — Spanish moss, porch light, humidity that turns sunset into a glow. We time portraits for the golden window and keep gear (and boutonnieres) cool in between.

Elizabeth Scott is a national studio: senior photographers and filmmakers, travel already included, and a calendar kept deliberately small so every wedding gets a first-team crew. If we haven’t worked your exact venue yet, we scout it before your day — light, timing, logistics — so nothing about Lexington surprises us on the morning of.

The light in Lexington

Ceremony time decides how your photographs look, and the answer is different in Lexington than it is three states over. In June the sun sets here at 9:02 PM and golden hour opens around 8:23 PM; by October sunset has slid back to 7:00 PM — a swing of 2 hours 2 minutes across one wedding season. Start a Lexington ceremony at roughly the times below and you will finish vows, family formals, and portraits with the good light still in front of you rather than behind you.

Where couples marry in Lexington

These are the Lexington venues couples ask us about most. We have not shot every one of them — nobody has — so when a venue is new to us we scout it before your date: light through the ceremony hour, where formals hold up, how long the walk from getting-ready to first look actually takes.
