I am so glad you are here! I was born and raised in Kansas and moved to Tennessee in 2023! It has always been a dream of mine to live in Tennessee. I got married in May 2024 in Pikeville, TN. I am a lover of country music, thrifting, anything nostalgic, baking, traveling, garnering, and spending quality time with family. FUN FACTS: 1. I am left handed. 2. I love Tea! 3. I LOVE anything Nostalgic! 4. My favorite movie is The Longest Ride. 5. My dream is to have acerage and with tons of animals/plants!

Jaiden Ann Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! From the very first interaction, Jaiden's communication style was comforting, quick, and easy. She was incredibly responsive and made the process of planning our photography seamless. On the day of the wedding, Jaiden was a ninja - she captured so many stunning moments throughout the ceremony and reception without us even noticing she was there. The quality of her work is simply stunning, with a beautiful mix of color and black and white photos that perfectly captured the day. Jaiden was especially skilled at wrangling my large family for the big group shot at the end of the night, making sure we got every important photo with parents, siblings, and grandparents. We are beyond thrilled with the final gallery - it's exactly what we were hoping for and more. Jaiden Ann Photography is worth every penny and I would recommend them to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience!

Working with Hevesi Journal was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Their communication style was reassuring, empathetic, flexible, and understanding throughout the entire process. The quality of Katie's work was truly unique, lovely, and creative - they captured all the important moments and understood the vibe of our wedding day perfectly. Katie even traveled all the way from Georgia to Vermont to join us, which we really appreciated. We are thrilled with how the photos came out. Katie has a unique style that we adored from the start. We aren't people who really love having our pictures taken and Katie was understanding of that, while also making sure we got what we wanted (even though we might not have understood that ourselves.) We highly recommend Katie to any couple seeking a talented, personable photographer for their big day.

I am an elopement and wedding photographer based in Northern California, who shoots for the fun quirky weirdos who are unabashedly themselves. I capture the perfection that you are while having a laugh and (almost assuredly) crying along while you read your vows. My name is Katelyn and I want to meet you!

Awarded Best of Zola
We would 1000% percent recommend Katelyn! Choosing a wedding photographer felt daunting, especially since we wanted our day to reflect our unique story—simple, real, and close to nature. The thought of posing for pictures made us both nervous, but Katelyn has a calming presence. We wanted our photos to be genuine, mostly not staged, and Katelyn was the perfect fit. She didn't just take pictures; she captured our essence. And she was so patient, and dedicated, both during the wedding planning and during the day of (in addition to a very nice engagement photo-shoot!). From the get-go, Katelyn was all in. She spent time getting to know us, understanding that we were a bit camera-shy, and scouting out locations to get the best shots. She suggested poses that didn't feel like poses at all—they were just us, being us, with a little guidance. On the day of our wedding, Katelyn navigated our outdoor setting with professionalism. She blended into the background, all while snapping away and capturing our moments—moments we were too caught up in the day to see. Seeing our photos for the first time, we were blown away. They weren't just beautiful, they were authentically us. Katelyn took our quirky traits and tender looks and turned them into art, and captured a great party in amazing detail. There were a few unplanned moments during the party (the Horah, etc), that happened in a blink of an eye, and Katelyn managed to capture them perfectly! For couples looking for a photographer who will understand you and bring out the natural joy in your day, Katelyn is the one!

Best photographer to work with! I booked her for my engangement photos and my wedding photos and both sessions came out immaculate! Hailey was so wonderful to work with. Bright and bubbly energy and super personable. She helped with posing and provided guidance on what to do which was great especially because I don't usually take pictures and was unfamiliar with what would "look good". She will be my go to photographer for any new life events moving forward. I even blew up 4 of my photos for my living room and the quality of the pictures were so nicely done they all came out crisp even being printed out so large on a canvas.

I wish I could leave 10 stars instead of just 5! Karie and Holly were the best wedding bartenders I’ve ever experienced and I’m so thankful we decided to go with Shaken not Spurred! From the beginning Karie was incredibly excited to bartend our wedding. She offered everything but her cloths off her back to my wife and I on our special day. During the wedding Karie or Holly would come ask my wife and I if we would like any drinks while we were tending to guests or eating dinner. I’ll tell you what those girls know how to make a drink! All of our guests commented on how good the signature cocktails tasted and Karie and Holly would work with guests to meet their needs outside of the cocktail list if need be. Lastly their attention to detail is impeccable. I’ve attached images below of Katie’s personally designed signature drink menu that incorporates our wedding colors and a hint of holiday cheer.

I’m typically shy and not very photogenic, so I was extremely anxious about how our wedding photos would turn out. But after finding LaDonna through a Facebook ad, I immediately knew I wouldn’t have to worry if she was our photographer. She took the time to understand me and helped me find my confidence in front of the camera. By the wedding day, I felt completely at ease and able to focus on the moment with my husband rather than my insecurities in my head. LaDonna and the LT² team captured everything beautifully, balancing candid moments with fine art shots that truly tell our story. The photos are so authentic, and I’ll cherish these memories forever, along with the confidence I gained. Thank you, LaDonna, for an unforgettable experience! 3 7.27.24

Oh... hello. You made it. That's nice. This won't take long, if you poke around a bit you'll probably find what you're looking for. There are some photos, some words... and hopefully they help you decide if I'm the right person to document your wedding. I like to photograph moments that happen naturally, without too much fuss. If you're into that-if you're ok with a little wind in your hair, or a cake that leans slightly to the left-then maybe we'd get along just fine.

Loy at Sweet Lime takes some great photos. He was a joy to work with and helped set the room up by providing a suggestion that none of the restaurant staff, or us, had thought of which ended up working swimmingly. The day of the wedding, he was present but also not too if that makes sense. He was kind enough to send us a couple preview shots while we impatiently/patiently waited. The photos are well worth the wait. I would be happy to recommend Sweet Lime Photography. You will not be disappointed in his service.

I strive to make the experience of designing you cake as easy as possible so that on your wedding day, you are wowed by not just the look but the flavor of your desserts.

We were delighted with Bake Me Happy Jas for our wedding cake and cupcakes. Jas was prompt, professional, and accommodating in all of our communications leading up to the big day. She designed a beautiful cake exactly to our specifications and provided delicious cupcakes in flavors that our guests raved about - several even asked for her contact info! Her sweets strike the perfect balance of not being overly sweet. On the wedding day, Jas handled set up and tear down with ease. And beyond her talents as a baker, she is simply a very nice human being that we enjoyed working with. For great quality baked goods and service at reasonable prices, we happily recommend Bake Me Happy Jas!

We first worked with Sarah for our wedding in January 2021. Even though it was an ethnic indian wedding, Sarah was fantastic. She was not only amazing at her job, working with her was fun as well. We loved her so much, she has been a part of all of our milestones ever since. We just had our newborn photos with her too. Love her so much!!

Hi, I’m Hanna! I’m a proud mama of two, a dog lover, and a Charlotte, NC local who’s passionate about celebrating life’s most special moments. I’m a true girls’ girl who believes every bride deserves to feel confident, radiant, and absolutely beautiful on her big day. Helping you look and feel your best is not just my job, it’s my favorite part of what I do!

I booked Hanna to style my bridal party and myself for my wedding. There were 7 of us in total and she was fully prepared to tackle it all herself. She did a wonderful job timing it all out and it all went perfect. As the bride, my hair was exactly what I wanted. It stayed all night (which was the hottest day in July). We also set up a trial run before the wedding to work out the style and discuss what I wanted. I was so pleased with Hanna, I would highly recommend!
