The Talented Photographer was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, Alec's communication style was fun, professional, and incredibly personable. He had a true passion for his craft that shone through in every interaction. The quality of Alec's work was absolutely stunning - we got a wonderful variety of candids, formal shots, and editorial-style pictures that captured all the special moments of our day. Alec has an incredible eye for the right shots, and the final photos are absolutely gorgeous. Despite a complicated location schedule that I was worried about, Alec made the whole day seamless, traveling to over 4 different spots to ensure we got all the groupings and special shots we wanted. Alec truly went above and beyond, and we had such a great time working with him. I'm obsessed with the pictures and would give him an 11/10 rating!

I never thought I’d cry so much over photos and video, but they made everything so meaningful. Seeing my daughter so radiant was already enough, but the way they captured her joy is priceless. The editing of the video was smooth and beautiful, with music that fit perfectly. They even caught the look on my husband’s face when he saw her in her dress for the first time, which made me cry all over again. The reception was full of energy and laughter, and they caught every bit of it. I have watched the video many times and it never gets old. These are memories we will treasure forever.

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.

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, I’m the lady behind the lens! I’m a hopeless romantic, professional third-wheel, and firm believer that the best photos happen when you forget I’m even there. I’m here for the belly laughs, happy tears, stolen glances, and all the little moments you didn’t even realize were happening. My style is warm, dreamy, and true to life—with a little bit of film-inspired magic sprinkled in. I want your photos to feel like YOU: genuine, joyful, a little imperfect, and full of the kind of moments you’ll want to relive for years to come.

From our first conversation with Sunny at In Bloom Photography, we knew we had found the right person for our big day. She has this warm and quirky way of making you feel comfortable, and she's incredibly responsive to messages and questions. During our engagement session, we got caught in rain halfway through and our daughter was just super grumpy, but Sunny rearranged her whole schedule so we could get those sunset truck pictures we wanted—and they turned out stunning. She really goes the extra mile because she genuinely wants to make you happy and her personability with kids was SPOT ON. She brought a bubble wand for our 1.5 yr old. Her attention to detail and willingness to listen to what matters to you shows in everything she does. We can't wait to see what she captures on our wedding day!

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.

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
I cannot truly put into words how amazing our experience with Sena and Shelton was for our wedding. They were extremely supportive, helpful, adaptable, and kind throughout our entire wedding day. They took time out of their day to scope out perfect photo spots ahead of time. In moments where I was anxious, Sena jumped in to settle me down and support me. She touched up my makeup when needed without question. Shelton was extremely helpful in finding solutions to any small problems that came up and always was uplifting our entire wedding party. They capture true genuine moments that feel like a story and they make the day so special and fun. Their work is absolutely stunning and we are amazed with the photos. I will forever run back to them for any photography needs and as a friend! I couldn’t have made it through the big day without them. Will always recommend them to anyone!

We are so happy we chose Lucia to capture our elopement. Lucia is professional, fast to respond to emails and texts, helpful with decisions, accommodating to any requests, concerns, and excited to give advice. Duncan and I really wanted our photographer to capture our true emotion and to get candids of us, and Lucia DID THAT! The day felt blissful and a key point for us was that we got to enjoy the day without it feeling solely like a photoshoot which I think speaks to Lucias talent and confidence in her craft. She was good at giving guiding advice for posing without us feeling posed. I put together a Pinterest board and shot list which she really did a great job pulling inspiration from. The photos are stunning and the exact style we envisioned. Also, our sneak peak was huge and she got them to us very fast. If you are torn between photographers or are just starting your research, you're in very safe hands to stop here. We hope to continue reaching out to Lucia in the future when we start a family.

Hi friends! As a kiddo, I was obsessed with 2000s rom-coms and the “perfect wedding.” After falling in love with photography and working with couples over the years, I’ve loved serving people in every stage of life: graduations, couples, families, the whole shebang. But weddings? My absolute favorite. I have been shooting weddings since 2020, and I offer digital as my default but specialize in 35mm film and Polaroids. I love to travel anywhere to capture your day... let’s make it happen!

Nell Studio was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding photography. Their team captured the day beautifully, with vibrant and stunning shots that truly reflect the love and joy of our special day. They were professional, responsive, and a pleasure to have by our side throughout the process. The final photographs are breathtaking and we are so grateful to have such gorgeous keepsakes from our wedding. I would highly recommend Nell Studio to any couple looking for a talented and dedicated wedding photography team.
