Horse Racetrack Photos

On the last weekend of June 2018, I took a day trip to photograph some of Louisville Kentucky’s tourist attractions. Below are my images of Churchill Downs horse race track and home of the Kentucky Derby. It was a beautiful morning to photograph the grounds of this famous racetrack. I would love to photograph an engagement session or wedding at this American icon.

One of my goals is to photograph a downtown Louisville Kentucky engagement session or wedding. There are several amazing bourbon distilleries, breweries, and unique buildings. Call or email me if you’d like me to be your Louisville engagement photographer or Louisville wedding photographer!

Favorite Churchill Downs Photo

My favorite racetrack photo is from the southwest corner of the property looking directly east down the track. I did not trespass to get these shots. I just parked and watched the horses warming up in the morning. This was the perfect time to be on track, and it was beautiful. I also drove by the horse barns on the south side where people were bathing the amazing thoroughbreds that are kept there.

I wasn’t anticipating this photo shoot, so all images were taken on my iPhone.
