Hi! I'm Christin, a destination wedding photographer based in Chattanooga, TN. Specializing in timeless and artful imagery, my expertise goes beyond just taking photos; it's about crafting a visual story that reflects the joy, love, and unique spirit of your celebration.

Working with Christin at Christin Sofka Photography was one of the absolute highlights of our wedding journey. From our very first inquiry to the days following our wedding, Christin has been nothing short of phenomenal—responsive, professional, fun, and such a warm presence throughout. We initially found her because of her stunning photography style, but it was her incredible personality that sealed the deal. From our first call, she genuinely wanted to get to know us—our story, our vibe, our vision—and it showed in everything she did. Before we even officially hired her, Christin was helping us find a venue that aligned with our dream, connecting us with other amazing vendors, and offering support in ways far beyond the role of a photographer. She was in it with us every step of the way. I’m usually awkward in front of a camera, but somehow Christin made it feel effortless and fun. She created an environment where we could just be ourselves—and that joy, love, and personality came through in every photo. Our pictures shine with who we are. Every idea we had, she embraced and brought to life in ways that exceeded our expectations. She was just as excited as we were the entire time—and honestly, I can’t imagine our day without her. Christin is not just a photographer—she’s a true artist, a cheerleader, and a calming, creative force you’ll be so lucky to have by your side. If you’re considering hiring her: do it. You’ll be singing her praises too.

I fell in love with photography at a young age, while rummaging through boxes of family photographs. My favorite pictures were always the ones that felt as though you had been transported in time- a little blurry, but a lot of emotion.

If you’re looking for a kind, professional, and talented photographer then look no further, Audrey is the one for you!! She was punctual, had so many ideas for cute shots, and made sure she took time to find out what kind of pictures my now-husband and I wanted. And the photos I received left me speechless! They are stunning, and the editing is incredible. She got so many cute candid moments along with formal portraits from every angle. Audrey was the best photographer we could have asked for on our special day!

  • Starts at $2,600

Hi! Courtney here (that's me on the left!). Shutter and Sound is the brainchild of renowned wedding videographer Ryan Geldermann. Ryan began his wedding videography career in 2010 in Los Angeles and quickly became recognized as one of the top videographers in the U.S.. After relocating to DC and still receiving countless inquiries from all corners of the country, Ryan decided to recruit and train a few talented friends so he could continue offering the quality wedding videography he’s known for in SoCal and eventually over 10 cities. Shutter and Sound is a very small group of filmmakers dedicated to turning your big day into a work of art.

My husband and I loved working with Shutter and Sound for our wedding!! They went above and beyond when capturing our venue and all the special moments throughout our wedding day. The videographers were very personable and easy to work with, and were confident in their vision. All of the deliverables came even sooner than we were expecting which was a nice surprise, and I've watched our videos sooo many times since we got them back. Truly a great experience! I'd recommend Shutter and Sound to anyone looking for quality footage that really tells a story. :)

Abigail Sykes Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,100
  • Serves Athens, GA

The story is captured through the moment. I aim to capture real moments by shooting photos journalistically. I don't want your wedding day to fit into a mold. I don't want it to be confused with any run-of-the-mill wedding day. Your story is unique to you, so your photos should be, too. The emotion comes through the light and tones. Overall, my editing leans towards a warm + cinematic style. I believe that a filmy, cinematic style is timeless and won't age the photos that you'll pass to the next generations.

Abigail is such a doll; throughout the entire booking process she was extremely thorough, generous, and easy to work with. When she has a vision her hard work, patience & dedication make it a reality— and if that doesn’t compel you to book her, perhaps viewing her myriads of work will! After how beautifully she captured my wedding day and after how gorgeous she made me feel, I’ll never not recommend her!
