Celestia Photo & Film is a wedding photography and videography studio dedicated to capturing love stories with a perfect balance of elegance and authenticity. We specialize in creating timeless images and cinematic films that reflect the beauty, emotion, and joy of your day — so you can relive it for a lifetime.

I’ve been in a few weddings, and I’ve never seen photographers as amazing as these. They were everywhere but never in the way. You could tell they loved what they were doing. They kept everyone laughing, made the bride relax, and somehow managed to capture all the emotions in the room. When we saw the final photos, it literally felt like reliving the day again. Every shot is beautiful and full of love. I’m honestly keeping their number for my own wedding one day!

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
Isaac did a wonderful job photographing our backyard wedding. He did a brilliant job capturing my visions as well as brought ideas of his own. We are very grateful we were able to book Isaac for our wedding, he truly immortalized the day and we have so many beautiful photos to reflect on for the rest of our lives.

Hello! I'm Anna, an Omaha Wedding Photographer who specializes in timeless photos with a classic edit.

If you're looking for a wedding photographer in Omaha, Nebraska, I would love to talk with you!

I was a musician at the same wedding Anna photographed. I saw her handle a *tricky* mother of the groom with grace, while still still honoring the bride and groom’s wishes. It was rather a pickle to be in. Also, her personality is super fun. I enjoyed working with her.

We are passionate about photographing kind-hearted people who are unapologetically themselves, and creating a safe and beautiful space in the wedding world for LGBTQ+ folx. Our favorite people to work with believe in giving back to their communities, that black lives always matter, that climate change is you know...real, and choose to embrace their own unique quirks and talents.

Awarded Best of Zola
When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

Hi! We are Kurt and Madeline Drummond. We are a husband and wife team who are hopeless romantics and love capturing other's love stories. We met on Tinder, yes you read that correctly. When we aren't photographing or filming weddings we are snuggled up with our son Brooks and our dog Oliver watching a movie or bellied up to the bar at Texas Roadhouse. 😊

Working with The Proper Collective was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From start to finish, they were the easiest people to collaborate with.. whatever we wanted, they made happen. Their photos turned out incredible, and we are beyond grateful for how they captured every moment of our day. What really set them apart was their willingness to go above and beyond throughout the entire process. They made us feel like our vision mattered, and that care showed in every detail from planning through the final reception shot. We honestly cannot recommend them enough.

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.

She made us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire day, and her professionalism and attention to detail were unmatched. She went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, and it truly shows in the final results.

Soul Stories is our passion project in the truest sense, it was born out of a love for the moments words can’t quite hold — the quiet glances, the laughter between vows, the way love feels when it’s seen rather than said. By day, Sena (lead photographer) is a nurse and Shelton (lead photographer) works in cybersecurity — and as a couple, photo and video has always been the way we remember and cherish life. Documenting love, celebration, and the moments that matter most is something we've always done naturally. We simply decided to share that gift with others.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a lot of fun with the spontaneous shoot! We felt super comfortable with the whole process and the vibes were there! The results exceeded our expectations and the shoot produced some of our favorite pictures :)) If you’re looking for dreamy and movie like photos - soul stories delivers just that !

Kayti is the sweetest most down to earth photographer. I felt like she fit in with my friends and bridesmaids and could have jumped into the wedding and not feel like an outsider. All of my guests said it felt like she was not even there, but was able to capture magical moments. They are truly incredible photos we can brag about forever. I would recommend Kayti to everyone, ESPECIALLY if you feel awkward in front of the camera. She truly has a way of bringing out the best in you and your wedding whether you are in Washington, Arizona, Louisiana etc.

Blake and Chris were so nice and carefree which helped us feel relaxed and like they were just two more friends there to celebrate us. We got the pictures back in such a reasonable time, as well!
