We pride ourselves in offering our clients additional photographic services and products that few other Kentucky wedding photographers offer.. We feel that these "extras" set us apart from the rest when it comes to your photographic memories. Here are just some of the reasons to choose Monarch Photography:
Husband & Wife Team
One of the few full-time wedding photography teams in Louisville and Kentucky. We work together at all events so we know how to make your day flow smoothly!
TWO Photographers
We both photograph your wedding to be sure to capture those special moments--At no extra charge to you! With our boudoir, engagement, couture bridal, and senior portrait sessions, Jonathan is the main photographer while Rosemary executes posing and direction of our clients as well a photographing your event. At weddings, we are both shooting all day--this means that we can be in two places at once and document your day perfectly!
Fully-Insured and Well-Educated
Unlike many photographers, we have two complete levels of insurance protection. Our equipment is fully-insured and our business is covered to protect both ourselves and our clients. When it comes to education, we are constantly developing our skill-set through seminars, classes, conventions, and print competitions. Jonathan is also a valuable resource to aspiring photographers and students; He teaches several classes, ranging from basic photography skills to more intricate and complicated classes on post-processing, work flow, etc. We truly believe that education is a vital part of providing top service to our clients!
High-Quality Paper Proofs--Real Photographs
We give you actual 4x6 paper proofs from your session or wedding event--They are yours to keep! We guarantee 100 finished proofs per hour of wedding day coverage. Proof numbers for other sessions vary according to shooting time.
Complimentary Online Proofing and Ordering for All Sessions and Wedding Day Events
We post all of your images on our server for ordering and viewing (with the exception of the boudoir session, which has a completely separate and private link). Your sessions and events are protected by a password, but can be accessed by local and out-of-town family and friends. We also are happy to ship orders to customers for a minimal charge.
Printing Privileges and Digital Files
Our wedding couples receive their digital files from their engagement and wedding day with their collections. Other session clients are welcome to purchase these files at a set fee. See individual session prices for details.
Color-Correction, White-Balancing, and Basic Re-Touching of All Images
All sessions/events are photographed using high-quality Canon digital equipment. We review each and every image for color-correction, white-balance, and attention to detail. We then take it a step further by artistically enhancing many images. We also touch-up any facial blemishes on the bride & groom, replace closed eyes, and edit other distractions from all your formal photos. We also perform any other retouching you request for enlargements orders, most at no additional charge!

Efficient, Organized, and Creatively-Minded
For weddings, we can work from our formals pose list, as well as capture those candid moments! For all other sessions, we are just as energetic and organized for optimum shooting time!
Professional Printing Services
Unlike some photographers, we use a lab that caters ONLY to the professionals in our area. Our lab does not print for your average consumer. We pay more for this service, but we know that our clients appreciate the quality! It enables us to offer incredible image products such as gallery wraps, canvas prints, and metallic prints--once you see them in our studio, you will fall in love with them!
One-of-a-Kind Album Designs
We are firm believers in working with our clients when it comes to their album designs--that's why we allow our clients to CHOOSE their favorite album images. We don't pre-design unless it is requested! Rosemary takes the time to design every single album from scratch using absolutely no templates. The design is created using the favorite images from our customers. We design the albums with YOU in mind!
Fast Turn-Around Time
We get your photographs to you within two-to-three weeks of your event or session and reprints/enlargements in two weeks or less!
Flexibility
We will work with you to provide the photographic services that best suit your desires and needs.
No Over-Charges for Travel
We do not charge for drive time within the Louisville Metro area and its surrounding locations. We also do not charge travel time for Southern Indiana (just over the bridge). If there are travel fees for outside of our area, we will discuss those ahead of time with our clients.
A Great Love for our Clients and our Craft
This shows both in our work and our customer service!
