As a Kentucky photographer it is an honor to photograph the state rivalry between Louisville and Kentucky. Although the majority of my work is weddings I also enjoy shooting sports. Today I braved the stormy weather and photographed the Louisville vs Kentucky Governor’s Cup football game. UK started off strong and was leaving at the half 24-7, but in the second half the Wildcats fell behind the Cardinals who were ultimately victorious 38-24.
