Hi, I'm Rachel! I'm the photographer and heart behind R Photos, based in Chattanooga and serving couples across Knoxville, Nashville, the Smoky Mountains, and beyond. I've been photographing weddings and elopements for 8+ years, and I still get butterflies every single time. My approach is simple: document first, curate second. I'm there as a quiet witness to your day, capturing the real, unscripted moments as they happen rather than staging everything from scratch. All are welcome here, and I'd love to be part of your story.

Working with Rachel was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! If you are looking for a photographer who will deliver breathtaking photos while making your entire experience seamless, stress-free, and joy-filled, hire her immediately. From our very first conversation months before the big day, Rachel was proactive, attentive, and completely invested in understanding our vision and what mattered most to us. On the wedding day itself, she blended in effortlessly. Spending eight hours with our closest family and friends, she brought a calm, warm presence that immediately put everyone at ease—by the end of the day, having her there felt less like having a vendor and more like having a trusted member of the family by our side. Her talent for capturing candid, authentic moments is unmatched. When we opened our final gallery, the genuine laughter, raw emotion, and connection she documented completely took our breath away. Those spontaneous candid shots are easily our favorite photos from the entire celebration, and we will cherish them for the rest of our lives. On top of her incredible artistry, Rachel’s professionalism and communication were top-tier throughout the entire process. She kept us informed every step of the way and consistently delivered our previews and final gallery early or right on schedule. We cannot recommend Rachel highly enough to any couple planning their wedding. She is an absolute joy to work with, a consummate professional, and a truly gifted storyteller!

Hi, I’m Judah—the heart and hands behind the lens. My journey began when my mom gifted me a camera in 2020, and what started as curiosity quickly became a calling. Filmmaking, for me, is more than documenting a day; it’s about capturing the essence of who people are and reflecting the beauty of how God created them. My approach is cinematic, poetic, and rooted in authenticity. I want your wedding film to feel like a time capsule something that brings back the emotions of your day and carries them into the future for generations to feel and experience.

Awarded Best of Zola
Judah was a fantastic part of our wedding day! He collected awesome footage and audio throughout the day and we loved both the trailer and full video he created. Even though he just met our photographers that day, he was able to quickly develop a working relationship with them and they made a great team. Judah is a great person, easy to work with, and does high-quality work! Couldn’t recommend any higher.

Hi, I’m Chris — a Nashville-based wedding photographer who genuinely cares about how your wedding day feels. Most couples tell me they’re a little nervous about being photographed, and my job is to help you relax and be fully present while I document the moments that matter most. I bring a calm, steady presence, gentle guidance when needed, and a thoughtful eye for the in-between moments you don’t want to forget. I believe your photos should feel natural, timeless, and true to you — images that bring you back to the joy, connection, and emotion of your day every time you look at them.

We absolutely loved working with Chris both for engagement photos and our wedding day. He and his second shooter made everyone feel comfortable and we got amazing photos, they were even out on the dance floor! The turnaround time for our wedding photos was amazingly fast. Would definitely work with them again :)

Working with Sierra was an absolute joy from start to finish! She was introduced to us through a friend, and we did our engagement shoot with her. As soon as we got our gallery back, we knew she was the right photographer for our wedding! Her communication right from the beginning was prompt, enthusiastic, informative, thorough, and friendly, putting us at ease throughout the process. The quality of her photos is - as we knew they would be - positively STUNNING. The images captured the heartfelt essence of our wedding day exactly as we had hoped! Posed, candids, detail photos, everything was just so perfect. We received a sneak peek gallery back so quickly, and Sierra treated us like family, making the whole experience unforgettable. She will be your biggest supporter the entire day and has a sixth sense to know what her brides and grooms need before they even know they need it. With over a thousand perfect photos in our final gallery, we can't wait to have Sierra capture our future life events! Being an SDP couple is a memory we will cherish for a lifetime, and we can't thank Sierra enough for capturing us so perfectly every time.

I could give you my spill about how I started shooting with a film Minolta in middle school and that it tugged my heart so deeply I never set the camera down. But I would rather share with you what I love. What I enjoy. What I'm about. I have a passionate soul. I get way too excited too easily. I smile at just about anything. I'm terrible with names. I'm a retired certified public accountant. I'm allergic to dogs. I own WAY too many shoes. I want a tattoo of a vintage camera. I love what I do so much it takes my breath away. This is me. The real me. Not the "fake, I hope I sold you" me. Now let's see if we can make this thing work.

BOOK AMANDA MAY PHOTOS! See long review below: My husband and I are from Florida and wanted to get married in Tennessee. Upon looking at venues, we fell in love with Castleton Farms. With our package we had two specific photographers that were included and both ended up being unavailable. I had done research on the vendors listed and Amanda was one of my top picks. By what I felt like was grace of god and met to be, while most of the photographers on Castleton’s list were booked, I reached out to Amanda and she was available! It was honestly one of the BEST decisions we made when picking vendors. Amanda and her team: Amanda and her team are absolutely amazing to work with! Amanda creates a friendship with you and makes you feel so comfortable! She sent us AMP guides for her photography and what to expect. Juan and I read through everything and felt so comfortable and excited. She also gave us insight on specific engagement and wedding things - first looks, outfits, how to make a veil fly and more. She sent us gifts as well! She really thinks of everything and is so sweet. Working with Amanda for engagement/wedding shoots: I’ve worked with photographers in the past and it’s always stressful when they ask you what YOU want to do for photos. Amanda is the first photographer we have worked with that does not do this. She tells you everything to do to capture the most BEAUTIFUL photos and tell your love story. She will tell you where to place your hands or tell you to spin or dip. She takes all the stress out of photos and that’s when Juan and I really fell in love with working with her. Photo shoots with Amanda are enjoyable and not stressful at all! We had such a fun time with her both engagement and wedding day! The Quality of AMP The photos from Amanda and her team speak for themselves. They look straight out of a wedding magazine and honestly look unreal they are so stunning! We are so excited to decorate our house with Amanda May Photos - both engagement and wedding! Her print quality is amazing as well - we ordered from her for our engagement photos to use as decorations for our wedding. We also made a guest book with her that turned out beautiful!! I cannot recommend working with Amanda May Photos for professional photography enough. Trust that Amanda will capture any point in your life whether it’s engagement, wedding, graduation, maturity photos, family photos, and more. She also has many other great options. You will absolutely not be disappointed! Amanda is such a sweetheart and really has felt like a friend to us during this process! We cannot wait to work with her again in the future.

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.

Diana Marie Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding day. From the very beginning, Diana's communication style was open, professional, and timely - she was always checking in to make sure our day was going as we had imagined. The quality of her work is truly exceptional, with a clean, timeless, and emotional style that captured all the special moments beautifully. Diana knows the importance behind wedding photos - they aren't just a social media dump, but rather the memories we'll cherish for years to come. She reminded us to take in the little things, and that thoughtfulness really shines through in the final product. We couldn't recommend Diana Marie Photography enough for any couple looking for a talented, dedicated photographer to document their big day.

My name is Rabeeh and I'm new to ZOLA (you can see over 250 reviews on my Knot profile). When I first started taking pictures, I can honestly say that I didn't plan on becoming a wedding photographer. Most other photographers I socialized with would tell me how stressful and demanding wedding photography could be. Over a decade and numerous weddings later, I must strongly disagree! I want you to relax, breathe deeply, and experience every moment of your wedding with as little worry or concern as possible. A little about myself, I am an easy going guy who enjoys numerous hobbies ranging from collecting antique cameras to the art of bonsai.

"OMG !! I can't even express how Rabeeh is so amazing and awesome !! We just got married on 4/22/17 and Rabeeh was our photographer. I will tell you he is kind, patient, and so understanding ! He respected our budget and was able to give us what we wanted. When Rabeeh was taking photos of us, family, and friends we didn't feel rushed , not so photogenic, they were natural, and that is what we wanted ! There were times he took pictures , didn't even know he was there, and he captured natural / real moments , we love it ! I will say from our first phone call with Rabeeh to actually meeting him, the vibe was very good, not uptight , and we decided right then we are going to book Rabeeh as our photographer ! If you are looking for a wedding photographer that is very kind, professional, and can blend in with all the whirlwind of a wedding , you have to book Rabeeh from Blue Dahlia Photography !! "

Hi, I’m Lathrop, and I run LY Photography Co. with my wife, Yana. I’ve been shooting for over seven years, and before starting this business, I led photography and videography for an Inc. 500 company.

We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our special day! From the very start, they were incredibly flexible with our early morning wedding schedule, making everything feel seamless and stress-free. They went above and beyond to engage the kids and get them smiling in the photos — which is no small feat! Their ability to organize and capture every important moment in a timely and efficient way was so appreciated, especially with so much going on. On top of that, they were unbelievably kind to everyone at the wedding — so many of our guests were raving not only about how amazing the photos turned out, but also about how lovely and genuine the photographer was to be around. Communication leading up to the day was excellent, and we always felt in good hands. We’re absolutely thrilled with the photos — they perfectly captured the joy, love, and magic of the day. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone talented, professional, and truly caring.

Yet at the same time, she and her team mastered the art of being present without ever being intrusive.

Rachel beautifully documented the essence of the wedding, preserving not only the major moments but also the genuine emotions and interactions that made the day so special. Her professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail were evident throughout the entire process. Thank you, Rachel, for helping us preserve memories that we will cherish for a lifetime.

I believe your wedding day should feel like your wedding day, not a photoshoot. My goal is to help you stay present with your person and your people while I document the moments that make your day uniquely yours. My photography style is true-to-color, timeless, and documentary-driven, focusing on genuine emotion over stiff posing.

Years from now, I want your photos to bring you right back to how it all felt.

Working with Mackenzie was seriously so easy from start to finish. She was super flexible, made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, and somehow captured every important moment without anything feeling posed or forced.

She stayed organized and responsive throughout the planning process, which gave us so much peace of mind leading up to our wedding day.

What really impressed us was how she seemed to be everywhere at once, catching moments we didn't even know were happening. She listened to me and remembered all the little details I told her were important to me. We’ve only got our sneak peaks, but the photos she delivered so far are breathtaking and feel so genuine, like she captured the real story of our day rather than just posed shots.

We hired Jeff to take photos for an intimate outdoor ceremony (us and 12 guests). The planning process was easy and stress free. Jeff slotted himself into the day seamlessly to capture candid moments in the ceremony and the time leading up to it. He was familiar with the venue (Ijams Nature Center) and we took a jaunt through the park after, where he was able to direct us to some of his favorite spots to take photos throughout. Jeff matched our vibe perfectly and made us feel comfortable and genuine throughout. And--of course--the photos came out beautifully.

I’ve got a life I adore in Thompson's Station, a husband and baby boy who complete me, and a I love finding the magic in the everyday. I was born and raised in San Diego and never thought I would leave—but life is an adventure, and I'm so glad we get to call Tennessee home! I can’t wait to explore your beautiful, unknown adventure with you and the ones you love.

Working with The Copper Collective was a truly wonderful experience from start to finish. Jessica and her team were incredibly friendly, prompt, and thorough in all of their communication leading up to the wedding. On the day-of, she managed our timeline like a seasoned pro - going above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly so we could simply enjoy the moment. Jessica's effortless approach and her editing style resulted in beautiful photos that we still love years later! Beyond the photos, Jessica was kind and helpful to everyone at the wedding and proactive when inevitable hiccups happened along the way. You definitely want her on your vendor team! We wholeheartedly recommend Jessica to any couple looking for the best wedding photography available! Jessica is absolutely worth every penny, plus some. You will not regret hiring her!

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.

Aurora flew all the way from Nashville to Boston to photograph my wedding. She made sure to capture everything I asked for and paid attention to what I had wanted. The best part was receiving back the photos and gettin to relive the day all over again. Aurora really captured the emotion of the day and I am forever grateful to her.

Choosing someone to capture your wedding can feel like a lot of pressure. I had worked with Tabitha professionally in the past, but this was a whole different ballgame. She went above and beyond. She documented the day so beautifully that when I look back at the photos, I truly feel like I’m right back at the wedding. Tabitha is incredibly professional and talented—somehow everywhere at once—capturing precious moments without you even realizing she’s there. Looking back, I’m so grateful for all the little moments she preserved. I never doubted her, but she still exceeded every expectation. If you have the chance to work with her, you absolutely won’t regret it.

I’m Chelsea—a girl mom, dog mom, cat mom, and lover of all things outdoors. I’ve been holding a camera since 2014, and in 2022 I officially found my heart in photographing weddings and couples. I love capturing the moments that feel real—the laughs, the tears, the quiet glances you didn’t even know happened. My background in journalism and storytelling helps me document your day in a way that feels natural, genuine, and true to you. When I’m not behind the camera, you can usually find me chasing my daughter, planning my next adventure, or soaking up time with my little zoo of pets. My team and I would love to capture your big day!

Chelsea was absolutely incredible! She is so friendly and so creative with her photography. Our engagement photos and wedding photos look like they’re out of a magazine, and she exceeded our expectations. Everyone that attended our wedding is in love with her photos, and my family still talks about how nice and friendly she was during the wedding. Best photographer award, right here!
