I cannot even begin to describe the amazing experience we had with Tomi but I am going to try! Looking for a wedding photographer can be extremely overwhelming, searching from site to site. When I stumbled across Tomi’s page, something just clicked and I felt confident in my choice to pursue securing him for our big day. Tomi was super responsive from the get go. Setting up our first meet and greet very quickly. From our first call, we became fast friends. I explained our want for many non traditional aspects of the wedding day and he was up for the challenges. All of our calls were more like friends catching up than a service agreement. The day of the wedding was perfect. He was so friendly and accommodating, hands on and just so much fun to be around. He worked with us at our pace and gave plenty of pic options. My guests absolutely adored him and he became fast friends with many! Even got some push-ups out of a few of them! He was very fast with the turnaround of the pictures and there were no words for how amazing they are. I cried. The love he captured that day, I can never say thank you enough. Tomi, from start to finish, you were amazing. Thank you so much for everything you did to capture so many amazing moments on our day. I am so happy we met! You are the best! Book him, ladies & gents! You will not regret it!

Hey there! Since you are trusting me to capture these special moments in your life, I figured you should probably know a bit about me, right? I am a Huntsville, Alabama native, but moved to Nashville after graduating from the University of Alabama in 2013. ROLL TIDE! Although I consider Nashville home, I am anything but a homebody. I love traveling and exploring new places (especially the food at those places!). I even studied abroad in Italy, which let me tell you, was a food lover's dream. I have always felt like an old soul trapped in a millennial’s body. I would rather listen to Frank Sinatra than anything on the radio today.

My name is Gabbie, and I'm a wedding photographer for the couples who seek a non-traditional approach to their big day. I'm a sucker for a candid moment, intimate ceremonies, and black-and-white images from the 1980s. My work is photojournalistic — I approach weddings through a documentary lens, telling the truth with beautiful and timeless imagery.

We had the pleasure of working with Gabbie for both our engagement photos as well as our day-of wedding photos. 12/10 recommend working with her for both. We had such a fun time working with Gabbie and the photos turned out amazing. She went out of her way to get to know us as a couple during our engagement photo session, and you can tell she kept it all in mind on the day of our wedding. She worked hard to make sure all the special moments were captured, both portraits and candids that we had requested.

Erin was hands-down FABULOUS to work with regarding photography of our wedding! She and Ari (owner) are absolute professionals when it comes to their craft - communication was timely and relevant. Erin was able to accommodate multiple shoot locations as well as the fact that the ceremony and reception were in two different cities. Day of, she was funny, organized, and knowledgeable - these qualities helped the day go perfectly. The photos were returned so fast (within 3 weeks!), and I can't say enough good things about them. The lighting, angles, mood, etc. of each shot was perfect. Well worth every single penny. Thank you!!

She makes whoever she is working with feel super confident, giggly, and relaxed. She was always checking in with me the months leading up to my wedding, which was awesome.

My name is Abby, a Midwest based wedding + boudoir photographer who's really obsessed with her job. I've gotten to see how directly photos can impact people. As we grow up, we realize how priceless photos are and how quality pictures become prized possessions. It's a moment in time you can forever look back on. It's easy to take pictures, but it's hard to capture moments. I'll love making magic with you, because everyone has some magic in them that deserves to be celebrated.

Abby was the absolute best photographer for our wedding! She was organized, prepared, friendly, adorable, overall 10 out of 10! She did a great job directing the room which made the photos a piece of cake! Also, she went above and beyond and was helping me with my dress. Not to mention, the photos are STUNNING! My husband and I would highly recommend her! I’ll definitely use her for any of my upcoming photo needs!

Awarded Best of Zola
Kyra is a one-of-a-kind photographer and was such a pleasure to work with! She is the most kind, thoughtful, and lovely person to have on your team. We worked with Kyra for our engagement pictures and were so excited to find she was available to photograph our wedding, too. She checked in with us many times during our planning, offered insight and advice, and helped us nail down a timeline that worked really well. Kyra instantly makes you feel at ease -- she is so easy to talk to and offers so much support, she truly acts like a friend throughout such a stressful time of your life. We so appreciated her sharing her expertise and experience with us. Neither of us had felt very comfortable in front of a camera before, and Kyra met our awkwardness and apprehension with such support and helpful coaching that we had an absolute blast! On the day of our wedding, Kyra checked in with us to see if we needed anything, were feeling alright, etc. When she and her assistant, Sammi, arrived, everything just felt so right -- they were the perfect fit for us and for our wedding! We absolutely loved getting to work with them -- they made us laugh, cry, and smile larger than we thought was possible. Kyra and Sammi were both so good at directing us, our wedding parties, and our families during portraits and formals. They were the perfect balance of kind, confident, and directive. I cannot say enough positive things about Kyra and her team. We are so, so grateful to her for capturing the most beautiful day of our lives.

I have been a wedding photographer for the last 10 years between Texas and Colorado. I currently travel between both capturing weddings and events all over the country. I love wedding photography because you get to be part of a life event and capture all of those moments.

Caitlin and Jack were so great from start to finish they really felt like family. They were very good as a team and paid attention to the small details as much as the candidates which were both equally important to us. They captured us beautifully and authentically without skipping a beat. 10/10 would work with them both time and time again!! Fantastic team
