How I work

If it matters to you, I want to photograph it.

I've been doing this for 10+ years now, all right here in south-central Kentucky. Weddings, proposals, senior pictures, brand-new babies, the days you'd give anything to have back exactly how they felt.

My style's warm and candid. I'm not going to pose you into somebody you're not. I'll put you somewhere with good light, let you be yourselves, and be ready for the half-second everybody else misses.

About

Hey, I'm Bailey.

I'm the guy behind Pfistner Pfoto's. I've been doing this around Bowling Green for 10+ years, weddings, families, couples, seniors, newborns, a little bit of everything.

Here's my whole philosophy, and it's not complicated: the best photos aren't posed. They're the groom tearing up during his vows, the bride cracking up mid-ceremony, your dad's face at the first look. My job is to be ready when those moments happen, and after a decade of this, I've gotten pretty good at knowing when they're coming.

My style is warm, I keep it relaxed, and I'll never make you do anything that feels weird or fake. If that sounds like your kind of photographer, let's talk.
