Hi, I’m Jess! Based in Chattanooga, Tennessee, I specialize in candid, authentic wedding photography that captures how your day actually felt. Your wedding should feel like a celebration, not a hours-long photo shoot. My goal is to keep things relaxed and fun so you can feel completely like yourself in front of the lens. From quiet, emotional moments to high-energy dance floor chaos, I’m there to document it all naturally. When I’m not holding a camera, you can usually find me grabbing coffee, hiking, or hanging with my two dogs. Let’s create some magic together—send a message to check availability for your date!

From our first conversation, Jess made the whole process feel simple and straightforward, which really helped ease our nerves. She has a gift for making people comfortable—as someone who gets anxious in front of the camera, I never felt self-conscious around her. On the day of our wedding, she went above and beyond, jumping in to help with small things without being asked and keeping things running smoothly. Her editing style and vision are exactly what we hoped for, and looking at our photos, everything turned out better than we imagined. Jess was genuinely fun to be around, and honestly, we can't wait to book her again for future events. We'd recommend her to any couple looking for a photographer who is both talented and a pleasure to work with.

Her communication was always effective, timely, and considerate, which put us at ease throughout the entire planning process.

Hi, my name is Maria Turner! I am a documentary style photographer capturing love stories on both film and digital. I am a homegrown and local Winston-Salem, NC girl with a second location in Boston, MA. You can usually find me along the upper east coast, but I happily offer my services within the USA with $0 travel feels.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you have the opportunity to work with Maria we recommend you take that chance while you’ve got it. She is an AMAZING photographer, fun to work with, and is so thoughtful/ helpful during the planning journey. We’ve already had a friend say they’d hit her up if they get married because they loved our experience and photos so much. 10000% could not recommend her enough. When we were looking for a wedding and engagement photographer we wanted someone who was creative in their shots, had crystal clear photo quality, and had a true to life/vibrant photography style - and Maria was the perfect fit! We had a phone consultation where she asked thoughtful questions to get to know us as a couple but also helped asked things related to photography to help us communicate our desires and ensure she was the right fit. Maria wants her couples to have the dreamiest day and I loved how intentional she was with helping us communicate our vision - she’s the pro and knew exactly what to ask to get us thinking! We were immediately obsessed and left in awe at some sample galleries, so we signed right away. When it came time for our engagement photos we had this super fun pre-shoot questionnaire that once again consisted of thoughtful questions (our planner was SO impressed with them), such as if there were any specific shots we wanted or our comfort level with photos. My now husband and I sat down with wine and went through the questions together, so that itself was a fun planning experience. We’re not the most comfortable in front the camera so it was cool to feel seen and have her understand us before we arrived to the shoot. And let me tell you we had the BEST time! We felt comfortable so quickly and the shoot flew by. The photos turned out AMAZING and we got even more excited for the wedding. Before the wedding we had a questionnaire to go over our desires for the wedding (and even had a chance to put secret info if you had any surprises for people or just wanted her to be aware of certain family dynamics you don’t want widely disseminated). On our wedding day Maria even handled a situation for us when we asked for help and she was the most discreet and professional and got us taken care of. We just got our full gallery back and the photos are the dreamiest - incredible sunset photos, creative and thoughtful detail shots, and excellent photos of our guests. The gallery captures our day perfectly and is everything and more than we could have asked for. Maria is timely, talented, professional, a cool person, and is someone we’d hire again in a heartbeat. Plus, she’s always down for an adventure so if you want to travel I’m sure she’ll be happy to meet you there and help make your photography dreams come true. We will cherish our engagement and wedding photos forever. All photos credited to Maria at MTD Photo Co.
