  • Serves Nashville, TN



I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

From our first interaction, Sean and his team at Portraits By Sean were prompt, personable, and clear in their communication. Their exceptional, professional, and quick work captured the essence of our special day perfectly. Sean was laid back and brought great energy to our wedding, seamlessly capturing all the important moments without ever being intrusive. We had nothing but a positive and truly exceptional experience working with Sean from start to finish. Not only were our photos top-notch, but he took the time to get to know us as a couple and was able to beautifully document all the candid, unscripted moments that made our wedding day so memorable. I'd give Sean 10 stars if I could!

Whether it’s a quiet elopement or a big celebration, my approach blends classic elegance with photojournalistic storytelling.

My husband and I flew Golden Hour Images to Utah for our wedding and it was worth every single penny!! Golden Hour Images was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! From the very beginning, their communication was super consistent and they listened to everything we wanted. The photographer, Jenna, did an amazing job and just her sneak peaks had my husband, me and my family absolutely balling. She did the best job at capturing all our sensitive moments and made us feel and look absolutely beautiful throughout the day. Jenna listened to exactly what we wanted and exceeded all of our expectations - our wedding photos are stunning and we will cherish them forever. We cannot recommend Golden Hour Images enough!

Belinda is incredible. We hired her back in September and are having a larger ceremony/reception in 2025. The first time we met her she drove almost three hours to us in November and the second time was for our fairly rushed legal ceremony two hours away from her. My grandparents are the reason we moved our wedding up. Not only did she allow us to substitute our engagement shoot for this ceremony, she of her own volition and the kindness of her heart included family portraits of my grandparents individually and together knowing that they were more my concern. She made them feel included, and was beyond accommodating of their needs and handicaps. Her kindness, grace, professionalism, and ability to work with people knows no bounds and I would recommend her to anyone. I tear up every time I think about how incredible she is and how blessed I am to have her as part of my special day. You cannot go wrong hiring her.

We are a wedding + elopement duo serving the Nashville area + some other special places that make us happy. We can’t wait to meet you! We started capturing weddings through covid when we were stuck at home and needed to find some way to be creative. Savannah went to school for videography and Jon is an OG drummer turned videographer that has really enjoyed getting to create. If we aren’t celebrating you and your love story, you can find us at the beach, probably eating some yummy food, and missing our fluff ball kitty at home. We are so easy going and love to be spontaneous with our plans.

Savannah and Jon were a DREAM! Savannah exceeded all of our expectations and created a wedding gallery that we will look back on for years to come. They captured all of the sweet and special moments along with our fun and goofy sides. Their attention to detail is evident in every single photo. Each emotion we felt on our wedding day was beautifully captured by this team!

When I was a kid all I wanted to be was a photographer (or a vet) and in 2019 o my husband gave me that opportunity. I left my corporate job to pursue my passion. I started a pet sitting business AND a photography business at the same time and I think it's safe to say that right now I am living the dream. I have three beautiful cats and a wonderful husband who supports me in whatever I do.

Nashville, TN
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,800

I’m Jaimee—a storyteller, world traveler, and lover of old stuff. With over 100 weddings photographed, I’ve learned that wedding days are about presence > perfection. My documentary-style photography is honest, fun, and rooted in telling your story exactly as it unfolds—raw, real, and beautifully yours. I’m passionate about capturing the moments that matter most: your partner’s look during the vows, friends dancing like no one’s watching, and those in-between moments you might miss but will cherish forever. When I’m not behind the camera, I’m immersed in nature, treasure hunting in antique shops, or planning my next adventure.

Jaimee was an absolute pleasure to work with for our engagement session and maternity session(s). From our very first interaction, Jaimee's communication style was natural, authentic, and carefully articulated, putting us completely at ease. Her attention to detail and commitment to capturing every meaningful moment was unparalleled. The quality of Jaimee's work is truly one-of-a-kind - her photos are breathtaking, beautifully capturing the unique essence of our milestones in a way that will allow us to relive those memories for generations to come. Jaimee's passion for her craft is evident in every shot, and we are beyond grateful to have found such a talented photographer to document each adventure of our marriage journey. We cannot recommend Jaimee Raneigh Photography highly enough.

If adventure makes your heart beat fast, you don't mind straying from tradition, sarcasm and retro music are your love languages, and if you're down to frolic through an open field with me, we'll be best friends in no time. When you choose your wedding photographer, it's about so much more than just hiring a professional to take your photos - it's about connecting with someone who'll capture your special day with intention. So be sure to ask all your questions, and make sure you *click* (pun intended) with the person behind the camera!

Awarded Best of Zola
I am so so glad that we chose Faith to photograph our wedding! She made everything so smooth and really allowed us to enjoy our wedding to the fullest without feeling pressured to pose for the camera all night. She was there for every single important moment, planned or not, big or small, and she was able to capture the feelings of those moments so perfectly. We really feel like we’re reliving our wedding day when we look at the photos. I’m so excited to ooo and aw at these for the rest of my life! If you’re wanting someone kind, genuine, and incredibly dedicated to capturing every moment you need Faith!

I’m thrilled to meet you and start creating a connection! I began photographing weddings four years ago and quickly realized the most meaningful moments are unscripted—raw, emotional, and unforgettable. Capturing these authentic experiences is my passion. With a background as an outdoor educator and a wilderness therapist, I bring a unique perspective and skill set to wedding photography. Whether guiding backpacking trips or earning a Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, each chapter of my life has shaped my ability to support couples with humor, care, and creativity. Let’s capture your day exactly as it unfolds!

I have been both a fellow vendor (florist) and a guest at a wedding Haley has photographed. As a florist, I was so pleased with her attention to detail as a photographer, and as a wedding guest, I loved her interaction with the guests and bridal party. Haley captures great moments and I cannot recommend more!

To me love is art, and art is love. My intent is to produce different, authentic, and cinematic imagery for you + your partner to cherish. I work in collaboration with couples to foster a place of intentionality allowing them to feel their most honest selves while engaged in and surrounded by beautiful scenery. I find I create the best art when I'm outside letting my clients exist together, no silly poses or staging, just the moment. Your wedding day is about the connection you two have and I want to produce imagery that honors your connection in an honest and intimate way.

Awarded Best of Zola
Nicole is a very genuine and talented photographer and it shows in her photos. Not only is she great at what she does but she is also very personable and professional! She was amazing with communication before, during, and after the wedding. Before the wedding, she made sure to make a note of any photos we were wanting. She took the time to learn what was important to us and got to know us as a couple and then she captured everything perfectly in every single photo. When we got our wedding photos back we got to re-live our wedding day all over again. We couldn’t stop looking at them because of how amazing they were. They are something that we will cherish forever and I’m so happy that we chose Nicole to capture one of the best days of our life.

Hi there! I'm Sarah, a Nashville-based wedding photographer and I'm thrilled you're here! A bit about me: I'm originally from east Tennessee, and I currently call Nashville home. Though Nashville is home base, I will travel almost anywhere, I regularly offer my services in various regions, including east Tennessee, North Carolina, and Virginia. My journey with photography began at a young age, but it wasn't until college, during my first black and white film class, that I realized it was my true calling. Since then, my passion for photography has only deepened, and I've never looked back.

Sarah has photographed my engagement, my wedding, my family photos & more. I’m always thrilled with her work! She makes you feel very comfortable and always captures your true self. If you want your special day to be captured with as much love as you feel then I highly recommend you reach out!

Glenai Gilbert Photography

Nashville, TN
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,000

Creating intentional, long lasting memories is my passion. I want all the images I create to have a moment where my clients think, “I can’t wait to show this to my kids,” or help them relive the moment as if they could still taste the cake. My art is focused on individuals and the transitions of emotions they experience through their wedding days. It’s such a unique experience to be on the outskirts looking in on someone’s lives’; I get to meet their closest friends and family, see how they do under pressure, how they dance, hear words they speak to their loved ones, and see a day they created so detailed to celebrate something so special.

Glenai, Jonathan, and her whole team were absolutely perfect. Now her photos speak for themselves and we couldn't have asked for better footage but I also want to speak to Glenai as a person: she is the most calming, supportive, and creative presence...honestly, my husband and I just did whatever Glenai told us to do. We trusted her entirely and we are so so grateful for her. She's more than a photographer and an artist, she has this sixth sense for reading vibes and knowing exactly what you need without you saying anything. She is very, very organized and so thoughtful. My husband and I are not great at posing for photos and we were worried we would come off as awkward but that fear disappeared as soon as Glenai showed up. You cannot go wrong with Glenai & Jonathan and their team!!

Meghan Melia: Photographer

Nashville, TN
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000

I find that most images I am inspired by are the frames after the fact or in between. The moments where you let your guard down, your breath exhale, and your shoulders return to their natural stance. The ones that wholly represent who you are and your connection to the people near you. The goal is for a person looking at one of my photographs to feel it in their guts. To preserve a moment in time so that even those who weren’t actually there can experience every detail, every emotion. I spend a lot of time acting as a witness to life’s very best memories. For that, I am incredibly grateful.

No other photographer can do what Meghan does- she has a talent that is unmatched. Meghan was the first vendor we booked when planning our wedding, and we’re so glad we did. Her work is incredible and she was the best person to have around on our wedding day. She blends well into the background during key moments but is someone who you can look to for reassurance and support if the day starts to feel a bit chaotic. She follows the lead of the couple and her documentary photo style encourages you to stay in the moment, rather than staging your day around pictures. We loved working with her so much, we almost forgot she would be sending us pictures after the fact. When the previews showed up in our inbox, they took our breath away.

She answered all of our questions and helped guide us. She was so kind and personable, by the end she was more like a friend than a vendor. On the day of the wedding she was efficient and organized. She made everything look so effortless. The photos are absolutely gorgeous. We knew she was great, but we were truly blown away when we saw our photos. She really captured every single detail, all of the love and the joy, and each and every guest. Looking through our gallery made us feel like we were right back there on our wedding day. We could not be more grateful to have our special day captured so wonderfully in such a timeless style. We seriously could not be more thankful for Jamie.
