Beautiful Images by Toni 

5.0

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Bristol, TN

I am a published photographer located in the beautiful state of Tennessee. I am a mama to two fascinating, wild little girls and I have a passion for running around, breathing in life. Photography has been a life long passion of mine; I can remember being a small child running around with disposable cameras trying to capture everything in site. Now, as an adult, photography is my way of making permanent what I, and others, hold close. I love tattoos, am romance book obsessed (honestly this career could not have been better picked) and hope to one day go sky diving! Now that you know a bit about me, I can't wait to learn about you!

From the moment we booked Beautiful Images by Toni, their communication was fast, helpful, and responsive. Toni's unique, creative, and fun style captured the excitement of our special day perfectly. She was there to help wherever she could, making everything feel seamless and just right. We are thrilled with the beautiful photos that will allow us to relive our wedding day for years to come. Toni and her team truly went above and beyond to make our day unforgettable.

Andrea-Marie Photography 

5.0

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $7,400
  • Serves Bristol, TN

Andrea-Marie is a fine art documentary wedding photographer specializing in romantic, editorial-style imagery. Blending candid moments with timeless elegance, she crafts a visual story that captures the genuine emotions of your wedding day. With a thoughtful and refined approach, Andrea provides a seamless experience, offering personalized guidance throughout your wedding journey. Serving Asheville, North Carolina, and beyond, Andrea-Marie Photography creates heirloom-quality images that stand the test of time.

I have followed Andrea’s photography on social media for years because in my wildest dreams she is who I would have capture my fairytale moments. Well in 2024 I finally had the opportunity of a lifetime when she captured my elopement in Positano, Italy. She blew even my wildest dreams out of the water. If you want a photographer who is a quadruple threat Andrea is your person! She’s a visionary, wedding planner, confidante, and artist who compromises nothing to merge your vision with her talents in the most magical way. If you have ever wanted to plan your dream elopement, but don’t even know where to begin logistically Andrea is your person! Andrea is not only well versed in travel and local customs, but is also exceptional at doing her research to maximize the beauty of the destination in the most authentic way. Andrea was pivotal in navigating the language barrier while also finding the sweetest local team (hair and makeup artists, florists, driver, and boat captain, etc) to bring everything to life. From the perfect locations for photographs to curating the most Italy-inspired meals, snacks, and desserts Andrea found ways to compliment the sentiment of the day in every single way. If you want a photographer living out her calling, Andrea is your person! I truly believe her vocation is anointed, that she has been called to walk alongside couples to not only provide the most exceptional keepsake, but that she believes fully in the covenant of marriage and the full extent of celebration that it deserves. Her skill and competency with a camera is unmatched as is her ability to work with people. Andrea gave us the time of day to hear our thoughts and questions, provided organization, attention to detail, dynamic planning prior to and day of that made our wedding day feel at ease, yet purposeful. The amount of pride Andrea takes in her work and the way she cherishes her couples unfettered love stories is indisputable. As is the case with elopements we had to deal with different aspects of coastal weather and Andrea had contingency plans for all of it and probably other scenarios that we never considered because she took that on for our sake. I’ll say it again she accounts for it all so you can have the best day ever! I couldn’t have dreamed up a better day from start to finish or a more effective, powerful, and fierce photographer to help usher us into this next chapter. Andrea captured the essence of us so beautifully and she did so by providing affirmation, levity, poise, professionalism, energy, grace, and comfort throughout our day gallivanting around the Amalfi Coast. There is so much more I could say, but her heart and her work speak for themselves. From the bottom of our hearts we are profoundly grateful to have gotten to work with Andrea. Be prepared to want her to capture all of your moments or to just invite her over for coffee, she’s that incredible.

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.

King is an absolute dream to work with for our engagement photo session!, King, gave us the freedom to just be ourselves and have fun, telling us to grab a bottle of champagne and find a classic car and head to the suburbs of Kansas City. He captured so many beautiful, natural moments between my fiancé and I that we'll cherish forever. King's unscripted approach allowed our personalities to shine through in the photos, and the final images turned out stunning. We couldn't be happier with our experience and highly recommend King for any couple looking for an effortless, joy-filled photo session. As you can tell I look beautiful in photos.

Ashley Guice Creative is a Phoenix-based luxury wedding photographer with a passion for capturing the beauty of human connection. Since 2017, Ashley Guice has been creating stunning images that blend artistic flair with genuine emotion. With over seven years of experience in photography and a decade-long background in the arts, she brings a unique perspective to every event she covers.

We couldn't be happier with our experience working with Ashley! From start to finish, she was an absolute joy to work with. Her attention to detail and creativity truly brought our vision to life, capturing every moment beautifully. We had an unfortunate cancellation of our original venue, and with our new venue having a completely different look, Ashley was a great thought partner in scouting locations and helping us achieve the look and feel in our photos that we were going for. Despite the challenges of a venue change and the usual wedding planning craziness, Ashley remained positive, resourceful, and was also just down right fun to work with! Ashley is a true artist, dedicated to the artful execution of every detail. Nothing felt cookie-cutter or ordinary—she took the time to understand our vision and how we wanted to remember the day and then actualized it through her artistic lens. I wanted something artful, chic, and elevated but also real, candid, and documentary-style—and Ashley delivered exactly that. She was also fantastic at understanding how we wanted to be photographed throughout the day. More than anything, she made sure our enjoyment of the day was a priority over just "getting the perfect shot," which was crucial for us. We were able to enjoy every moment, and the photos capture that perfectly. Her team was amazing, too! We got to work with two of her assistant photographers, and they were just as supportive and friendly as Ashley. We would recommend AGC to any couple looking for a photography team who is dedicated to capturing the essence of your wedding in a way that feels unique, personal, and meaningful. - L & L

Hello, I'm Kelly! Balsam Portraits and Weddings began in 2020, inspired by my deep love for storytelling and the mountains I’ve always called home. Raised in Hendersonville, NC, I cherish capturing intimate weddings where personalities shine, emotions flow, and every day is uniquely its own. I focus on the real, in-between moments—the quiet glances, the laughter, and the details that matter most. My goal is to document your wedding with honesty and artistry, creating memories that feel as real decades from now as they do today.

We hired Kelly at Balsam to photograph our wedding! She was nothing short of professional, timely, and incredibly fun to work with. We had around 100 guests not including wedding parties, and Kelly managed to photograph all the important, goofy, and treasured moments throughout the whole day. She seemed to be everywhere at once and missed nothing, all without me (the bride) hardly even noticing when and where she was shooting. Getting the photos back was like reliving one of the best days of our lives. She also was kind and fliexible enough to help us figure out a livestream setup so my husband’s very dear grandfather, too sick to travel for the event, was able to be included in the ceremony. The whole day went off so smoothly, Kelly was on point the whole time, and now we have gorgeous shots of all our favorite moments of the day. We couldn’t be more grateful to Balsam. I’ll also mention she shot our engagement photos as well - if I start talking about how perfect that day was, as well as the photos that came out of it, I’ll never stop. Nothing short of perfect.

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

I’m Hayley, a Knoxville, Tennessee-based photographer with a deep love for storytelling, families, and the quiet in-between moments that so often go unnoticed. I specialize in weddings rooted in connection and meaning, with a special love for celebrating couples in the stunning beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. My photography style is a blend of editorial and documentary — beautifully composed, artful imagery paired with raw, real emotion. I’ll guide you into the best light and composition when needed, but I’m also always watching for the spontaneous, heartfelt moments — the ones that can't be planned, only lived.

Hayley Howard Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography needs. From the very beginning, Hayley's friendly and professional communication style put us at ease. During our engagement and wedding day photo sessions, she provided helpful guidance on posing and made the experience feel effortless. Hayley's beautiful photos and skilled editing have captured all the special moments and milestones of our relationship, from our engagement to our wedding day and even our recent family photos with our 4-year-old son. Hayley goes above and beyond to ensure you get all the images you want, and her passion for her work shows in the quality of the final product. We have been using Hayley for many years and will continue to do so - she is truly talented at making you feel comfortable in front of the camera. We are so grateful for the stunning photos that will remind us of these cherished memories for years to come.

Hi, my name is Kasiya Mironov A story telling photographer based in WA. My goal is to capture the most valuable and remarkable moments of your life. I'm eager to see your real colors and take shots filled with deep personal meaning.

I had the most incredible experience with Kasiya for my wedding pictures! Not only did she have a great eye for capturing those special moments, but she brought such a fun and easygoing vibe to the shoot. What I loved most was her attentiveness to our preferences. It truly felt like she cared about making our wedding memories unforgettable. I can't recommend her enough if you're looking for a photographer who not only delivers amazing shots but also makes the whole experience enjoyable. You won't be disappointed:)

From my first call with Kamil, I knew he was the perfect fit for our wedding day. He was so kind, thorough, and made me feel like I was chatting with a friend. He took great care of us throughout the whole process and made everything so easy. On the wedding day, so many people mentioned how fantastic our photo team was. Kamil and his wife Anna were amazing—guiding us to get the shots we wanted while letting us truly enjoy our day. The photos are pure art, and I could rave about Glim Studio and their team forever.
