I am so glad you are here! I was born and raised in Kansas and moved to Tennessee in 2023! It has always been a dream of mine to live in Tennessee. I got married in May 2024 in Pikeville, TN. I am a lover of country music, thrifting, anything nostalgic, baking, traveling, garnering, and spending quality time with family. FUN FACTS: 1. I am left handed. 2. I love Tea! 3. I LOVE anything Nostalgic! 4. My favorite movie is The Longest Ride. 5. My dream is to have acerage and with tons of animals/plants!

Jaiden Ann Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! From the very first interaction, Jaiden's communication style was comforting, quick, and easy. She was incredibly responsive and made the process of planning our photography seamless. On the day of the wedding, Jaiden was a ninja - she captured so many stunning moments throughout the ceremony and reception without us even noticing she was there. The quality of her work is simply stunning, with a beautiful mix of color and black and white photos that perfectly captured the day. Jaiden was especially skilled at wrangling my large family for the big group shot at the end of the night, making sure we got every important photo with parents, siblings, and grandparents. We are beyond thrilled with the final gallery - it's exactly what we were hoping for and more. Jaiden Ann Photography is worth every penny and I would recommend them to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience!

Hey, how cool of you to end up here. I promise not to bore you with a bunch of flowery language or over-the-top promises. With a little browsing and a little reading, the answers you seek will reveal themselves so please feel free to look around. I love to document real moments so if you're looking for someone to capture your day in all its imperfect glory, say something, let's make it happen.

From the moment we met Erika and Loy for our engagement shoot, we knew we had found something special. They made two self-proclaimed awkward people feel totally at ease in front of the camera. It didn’t feel like posing—it felt like laughing, dancing, and being fully ourselves, all while they worked their magic. The photos captured not just how we looked, but who we are. We walked away from that session with more than beautiful images—we walked away with memories. Fast forward to our wedding day, and they absolutely blew us away. Our friends and family keep raving about the photos: “absolutely stunning,” “so artsy,” “journalistic,” “soulful,” and “hilarious and beautiful at the same time.” The photos brought the emotion of the day flooding back—joy, intimacy, hilarity, and everything in between. Every little detail, every fleeting look, every big, beautiful moment—it’s all there. They somehow captured the energy of the day, not just the visuals. We’ve gone through the gallery more times than we can count, and each time we see something new to love. From my dad’s emotional first look to the spontaneous dance floor chaos to those quiet moments between us in Adirondack chairs—it’s all so genuine and full of heart. Working with Erika and Loy wasn’t just hiring photographers—it was inviting two incredibly talented, kind, and charismatic humans into some of the most important moments of our lives. We can’t imagine having had anyone else there with us. If you’re considering them—do it. Truly, 10 out of 10.

You know exactly where every dime is going thanks to Amaka and her report sheet. They also do not charge you for every little add on like other planners do. Let’s also mention that they always work with our budget, but we usually end up tipping because they're just soo goood :-). One thing we really love, is having our own contracts for vendors. Vendors will send out contracts to Amaka, and she in return will send contracts to the vendors to sign on our behalf so it made us feel very comfortable with booking the recommended vendors. It keeps us safe from vendors that cancel last minute or show up late.

From the moment we booked In Bloom for our engagement party florals, Shelly and her team were a dream to work with. Their communication was always prompt, kind, thoughtful, and incredibly helpful - I never had to worry about a thing as Shelly took care of everything for me without any stress. The florals they created for our event were absolutely beautiful, high quality, and truly stunning. Their work was so impressive that we can't wait to have Shelly and In Bloom do all of our wedding florals in 2025! We're thrilled with the service and value they provided, and highly recommend them to any couple planning a special event.
