Jess Pruett Photography

Chattanooga, TN
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $800

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.

We were so pleased with OLAS and glad we hired them for our wedding. By far one of the easiest vendors we worked with. They were prepared, communicative, and always available for questions. We were impressed from the beginning with their clear communication and responsiveness and we stay impressed after seeing the end result. We hired OLAS for photography and videography. Both did an amazing job and we were so happy with the results. OLAS also took the time to understand our needs and the unique cultural components of our ceremony (Indian Catholic ceremony) that needed attention. Highly recommend this company for your wedding.

Where do I even begin... first, Heather was absolutely phenomenal! She was able to fit us in with probably the shortest notice ever. She was also able to work with our budget. Her communication was amazing, she answered all of my questions quickly. She made us feel very comfortable! Working with her and her fiance felt like we had all been friends already, we just clicked (haha). Side note: we got to help out two poor little stray kittens with them, so animal lovers always a plus in my book! I am madly in LOVE with the photos she took, they are absolutely perfect!!!! She was able to capture our dream come true and so much more!!! They are so beautiful!!! She was even able to finish the editing earlier then planned. I already talked it over with my husband, and we plan on hiring her again in the future! A five star rating does not do her justice, she was hands down the best!!!

After meeting Ali in person on their wedding day and seeing the magic she can do, it was an absolute no brainer that she would be there for our big day and any and every other event we need photography for!

On our full day at St. Mary's Chapel in Charlotte, Brandon had such a smooth presence that we barely noticed he was there capturing everything. His photos are absolutely stunning and totally unique—we will cherish them forever.

Maria is INCREDIBLE, and we are so glad we chose her for our wedding photos. 1. She is super professional and prompt, but is also just a really cool person who did SO MUCH to calm our nerves leading up to the wedding. 2. Her photos are gorgeous. She has such good attention to detail, lighting, editing, and you can really really tell in the finished product. 3. She just takes photos of you whenever she is around, and got tons of great candids. 4. We had gorgeous sneak peeks within like 48 hours of the wedding - it was truly insane turnaround but was amazing for us to get hype and very quickly see high-quality photos of the day. 5. The system she uses to deliver your photos is great - we got a lot of compliments on it from our friends and family! 6. She goes above and beyond to make sure you get what you need - we filled out a survey a few weeks out listing our priorities, existing schedule, who needed to be in family photos, etc, and she sent back a really nice photo schedule document. It was fantastic to front-load this work and get it out of the way, and it made the day go so smoothly! 7. Overall she just really incredibly & beautifully captured the joy of the day - the personalities of my partner and I, our friends and family, the vibe of the venue and the party, and the sweetness of the sweet moments. We got tons of photos we will cherish forever and are so so thankful she was the one to capture the day!

Hey yall! I’m Madalyn, the owner of Drozephotographs LLC and hopefully your new photographer friend! I am an Alabama based photographer who loves every minute of it. If you’re looking for an easygoing yet professional photographer, I’m yours! ❤️ The thing that I stress the most importance of is soaking in the moments. Whether that be your first sip of coffee in the morning with your girls, or your big moment when you’re walking down that beautifully stretched aisle. Every moment is so so so important. I would love to be the one that tells your story through your littlest and biggest moments.

Choosing Drozephotographs as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made. From the moment we first spoke with her we were impressed by her skills and how easy going she was working with clients. She was understandable and checked in with us to go over our wedding day. She even helped us make a guideline we were comfortable with to help on our big day. Her work is simply beautiful, perfect, and incredibly unique - she captured the most natural and beautiful moments of our special day! Drozephotographs helped us create a schedule so we didn't have to worry about a thing, and made sure we felt at ease in front of the camera, providing helpful tips and poses that made our photos stand out. It never felt awkward or forced, and every single picture she took was truly one of a kind. I’m still in awe over these photos no one could’ve done a better job! We are so grateful for her incredible service and would highly recommend her to any couple looking for wedding photographers.
