    Everything I could have asked for

    Adam did our wedding photography last April and he did SO GOOD. Not only did he take amazing pictures that we will cherish forever, but he was such a nice presence, as well! Thoroughly enjoyed him being there, he was quick, fun, and talented. He really listened to what we wanted; I have always hated going to weddings where everyone stands around for eternities taking pictures, and really just wanted to enjoy my day. With Adam, I got to enjoy my day and come out of it with beautiful pictures. Thank you again Adam!!!

    Adam was truly amazing! His pictures turned out wonderful and he really captured the feeling of my wedding. I couldn't be happier! Adam was really nice and very helpful! He took pictures of all of the guests I asked him to. His partner was very helpful as well! We ordered a wedding video last minute and he was very accommodating. I got TONS of beautiful pictures, unlike other photographers that only give you a few to choose from. I wouldn't recommend anyone else! He's truly a great guy! I am so thankful to have these wonderful photos that I will cherish forever!

    I cannot recommend Adam enough. Seriously, his work is stunning. He did our engagement photos and when I saw them I knew our wedding pictures would be just as beautiful. I was not let down. He is a true professional, and a delight to work with. He knows how to put you at ease and make you laugh and enjoy the session. He comes up with creative angles and got some great pics of my wedding decorations and rings. We also hired his teenage daughter as a second shooter and she is every bit as professional and took gorgeous photos as well. I wish we were having another event just to work with him again! I have never felt more beautiful than I do in the pictures he took. Great guy to work with and you will be left breathless with the quality of his photos.

    We were so pleased to find Adam on our tight timeline (had to move the wedding to a different state, with 5 days of notice, due to Hurricane Irma!). He was extremely responsive when I reached out and kept up with his emails the entire week leading up to our event. While we know that he was juggling a couple of other weddings the weekend before ours (we got married on a Monday) he never dropped the ball on communication or left us feeling forgotten. The quality and experience was exemplary, and the price was unbeatable. Thank you, Adam, for capturing our day so perfectly.

    Booking Adam Padgett as our wedding photographer was literally the best decision my husband and I could have made. Adam and his second shooter kaylee were both amazing! Both were very professional, personable and detailed. His look through the lense was unique and captured our personalities perfectly. He was not a cookie cutter photographer which I think is the biggest reason that we loved him so much! I would recommend Adam to any and EVERYONE looking for a photographer.
    You should check out his website/ social media pages and see for yourself!

    Adam did an amazing job photographing our wedding at Buffalo Trace. I could not be more pleased with the lighting and design of the photos. He captured all the important moments of the day and was a pleasure to work with. Thank you!

    We all know that photography is some of the most important money in a wedding budget, and you could do no better for yourself than to spend that money on Adam. From beginning to end, his professionalism and his passion were abundantly clear, and the photos he gave us are of even greater artistry and skill than what we paid for. If you have Adam at your wedding, you will get every penny's worth and much more, and you will be left with some of the best looking, most professional, and most artistic photos you will ever own in your life. If you are getting married anywhere near Lexington, Kentucky, do yourself a favor and get in touch with the Wedding Ninja. You'll be glad you did.

    OUTSTANDING PHOTOS! My husband and I fell in love with the photos on Adam's website. We thought his style was clean and sophisticated, but artsy and fun at the same time. We especially loved the way he played with light and contrast in his photos. We were so excited to get him as our photographer, and he totally blew us away with the photos of our wedding! He was so friendly and easy to work with, both before and on our wedding day. I planned my Lexington wedding from Boston, and Adam was very flexible with scheduling time to skype and quick with responding to my emails. He did a terrific job covering all the highlights of our wedding day in a beautiful, unique way along with nailing so many awesome candid moments that really captured the energy of the wedding. He put a lot of thought into our photos, even taking us outside after dark to do some cool backlit photos of us in front of the big red doors at Red Mile -- they came out AWESOME! I can't say enough good things about Adam, you should definitely consider him for your wedding!

    If I could pay Adam Padgett to be my family's personal photographer for the rest of my life I would do it. After working with him for over a year planning engagement pictures and of course wedding pictures he has become more of a friend to my husband and I than just a vendor. He is kind and lighthearted and makes what can sometime be awkward picture taking fun and of course his finished product is out of this world. Im still getting comments on my engagement pictures and they were taken almost a year ago. Adam has the best personality and is so easy to get along with it makes the process of taking pictures a breeze. And he is always willing to try new things. I already have plans to fly all the way back to Kentucky just so Adam can be the one to take our photos when we celebrate our one year wedding anniversary because I wouldnt want anyone else.

    I chose to use Adam after seeing his work on a high school friend's wedding about 3 years ago. When I saw her pictures at the time, I saved his name because I loved the work he did. When my husband and I got engaged, I looked him up and was very impressed with his prices. In our local area, he had the best price for the quality of his work.

    Adam was great to work with throughout the entire process. Booking him and leading up to the wedding day was very smooth and stress free with him. I could not have imagined a better photographer for our wedding day. He made us both feel so comfortable and our photos turned out great as a result! I would use him again without hesitation. The pictures are beautiful and we had a wonderful experience thanks to Adam!

    We were very pleased with all aspects of Adam Padgett Weddings Photography. Adam was nice and easy to work with. He returned all emails and other correspondences very quickly. Our wedding photographs were beautiful and captured every memorable moment from our big day. There is nothing we would want to change about Adam's photography services!

    Adam did an absolutely amazing job photographing our wedding! We went with the option of having an assistant photographer just to make sure we had good coverage of everything. Adam and Ryan worked extremely well together and were such a fun addition to the festivities. They worked tirelessly until the end of the night, almost outlasting the wedding! The pictures were simply stunning and we are still getting compliments 2 months after the fact. I couldn't have been more pleased with Adam's work, I highly recommend him!

    Adam is absolutely the best! Our photos were just beyond gorgeous and I still cannot believe how amazing the quality is but how he managed to get such a wide variety of amazing shots without being intrusive. He is so artistic and adds an amazing flair to the photos and the final package is like a work of art, not just a bunch of generic snapshots. Plus he is soo fun! We had such a great time with him joking around throughout the day and it was the first time we met! He is a gem!!!!!! and his assistant was awesome too!!

    Adam was amazing! He captured every moment and out of the 800 photos that he captured, we loved all but 10 of them! He really knew how to capture the best shots and fit right in with our wedding party as well as our family and friends. If I had it to do all over again, I would totally pick Adam to capture all of the most amazing moments of our special day.

    Love,
    THE HARPERS

    Adam was awesome to work with. Of the few photographers I interviewed, his pictures (and style) were the best. We added a photo station during the reception, and it was a hit. Adam kept taking pictures even after the party ended. The pictures came out beautiful!!

    Everything about Adam was perfect. He was professional, on time, and laid back - but still insistent that he captures all the moments of our day. The photos are of excellent quality and clarity, and working with him was just a pleasure - he got great photos while making us feel comfortable. The most memorable parts of the day were when we were working with Adam. DEFINITELY use him - you won't regret it!

    I cried when I saw my photos - they were just that good! Adam and his assistant were sweet, laid back, and never made posing for photos feel awkward. They were out of the way during the ceremony and reception - I never felt like they were in the way. Everyone in my wedding party LOVED him, and my inlaws (who have had two weddings in the family before mine in the past 3 years), said that he is easily the best photographer that they worked with! While the rates seem high, you do NOT want to skimp on photos for your wedding day - they are priceless, and you will have them forever.
    Adam is awesome!!!

    Using Adam Padgett as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding. I have never seen more beautiful photographs! He captured every moment so well and managed to get at least one photo of all of our guests. We received so many more photos than we anticipated (over 700!), and they were all wonderful. You'll be so glad that you bought the rights to the photos because you'll want all of them. Trust me! He had them back to us in 2 and a half weeks! Granted, we were his first big wedding of the season, but he only took about a month to get our engagement photos to us in July! That kind of turn around time is unheard of. Not only does he do quality and efficient work, but he is also a terrific guy. You will instantly feel comfortable around him. Please do not hesitate to call him. He will be one of your best wedding decisions too!!! -Kourtney

    Adam is flat out wonderful! He and Ryan (2nd photographer) were some of the last people to leave at the end of the night. Adam was snapping candid’s the whole day and evening. It was so nice to have him on our wedding day. We didn't have to worry about what the photographer was doing or what they were taking pictures of because Adam was busy being awesome. We love our pictures just like the rest of Adam's clients...Highly recommended!!

    Adam was amazing!! Honestly I do not need to attest to his artistic ability or the quality of his output, because it's all up on his website and it speaks for itself (volumes). What I can do here is add that he is just one of the nicest people you will ever meet- so friendly and downright happy to be a part of your big day. He's eager to capture every moment possible for you. It did take a little while to get our photos but it was totally worth the wait. I also had my doubts about hiring someone to come all the way from Lexington to shoot our wedding in Cincinnati- seemed a little ridiculous early on but it retrospect it was a no-brainer! If you're thinking of hiring Adam, just do it!

    Adam was a wonderful photographer and we are so thankful we had him as our photographer at our wedding. He captured every moment perfectly. He took over 1,000 pictures! Our friends and family even commented on how wonderful he was & a few said he was the best... they could tell that he really enjoyed what he was doing & were very impressed (as were we)! He is very easy to talk to, always on time and answered all calls and emails promptly.

    Adam was great--attentive, personable, and able to be in all of the right places at the right times. Leading up to our wedding, Adam was extremely responsive and helpful with my (many) email questions! He was open to my ideas, and had plenty of his own to bring to the table. He was so easy to work with the day of, and he was at our wedding venue all day and night! I loved that he would grab us for bride and groom shots throughout the evening, so that we have them in a variety of settings and lightings. Some of my favorites were the backlit shots that he took at the very end of the night. Adam captured so many moments during the reception that I didn't get to see for myself--it is great to have hundreds of his photos that we will be able to remember our wedding by.

    We were more than pleased with Adam and the end result of our photos. He was super easy to work with, the cost was in our budget, and he was a true professional.

    The day of the event, he was everywhere, and got shots that turned out amazing, though we rarely saw him (he's good at getting shots and staying hidden at the same time). The end results was amazing, and we've had tons of compliments on our wedding photos. It was hands-down the best decision we made for our wedding (other than deciding to get married in the first place). :-)
