Hiya, I’m Michelle, your coulda-been-a-bridesmaid photographer. I cherish ALL forms 🌈 of human connection. The quiet hand squeezes, the belly laughs, the “holy crap we just got married” moments. For 13+ years I’ve captured weddings all over Memphis + the Mid-South with a bold, vibrant, heartfelt style that’s all about making you feel comfortable, confident, and completely present. From Memphis rooftops to garden ceremonies, I’ll be the bestie by your side through the big cheers, the quiet tears, and those wild dance floor moments you’ll never forget.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Michelle is one of a kind! I reached out to her for my engagement photos because I was drawn to her work. Little did I know, I would be meeting someone who is so personable and genuine! From start to finish, she was so easy to talk to and accommodating. We had to postpone our wedding by 1 year and she didn't even bat an eye at it. On our wedding day, she made everything feel so easy and stress free - even when we were falling a little behind schedule. She ensured that we were all comfortable and I truly appreciated that! I would recommend Michelle a thousand times over again - SHE IS AMAZING!!”

H1! I'm Laramie Renae, Owner and Photographer at Wandering Creative. I am a Wedding & Documentary Photographer, based in Memphis, TN. I am an avid documentarian, and I cannot wait to capture your day :)

Awarded Best of Zola
“Laramie is FANTASTIC! Everyone keeps talking about how good the photos are, and my husband agrees and is glad we went with Wandering Creative like I wanted. She was able to cover the entire wedding and get those extra pics of the food and decorations, things that people don't really think about. AND she got the crucial moments. She literally captured his immediate reaction to seeing me coming down the aisle! I looked at so many photographers, but I kept coming back to Wandering Creative because I loved the photos and her vision so much. And she did not disappoint. These are photos that you will look back on for the rest of your life. One of my friends said it best when she said, “she really captured the energy of your wedding”. When I look at these photos, I remember and can feel our happiness and how much fun we had. And thanks to Wandering Creative, I always will.”

Hi, I’m Leslie, the heart behind Leslie Grace Photography & Films! I have been photographing weddings for nine years and I believe your wedding day is about so much more than beautiful photos—it’s about the love, laughter, emotions, and little moments you never want to forget. I’m here to make you feel comfortable, have fun, and be completely YOU while I capture your day naturally and authentically, from the happy tears and to the crazy dance moves and everything in between. I’m more than just the person behind the camera. I’ll guide you when you need it, capture the moments as they unfold, and celebrate right alongside you. My goal? For you to look back at your photos and films and feel exactly how you felt on your wedding day. ❤️

Awarded Best of Zola
“Leslie Grace Photography & Films was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding day. Their communication was phenomenal, outstanding, and always on time. The quality of their work and overall value is unmatched - Leslie has a way of making me feel like a model, and she would even send us photos at 2 AM just to make sure we could get our pictures back quickly. Leslie really went above and beyond to contribute to our special day. When I was feeling nervous before the ceremony, she called me aside and asked me to describe my wife in a few words, which ended up capturing such an emotional moment that I started tearing up. She also made the photo sessions fun and engaging, even getting our rambunctious toddler to smile the whole time. Leslie Grace Photography will undoubtedly be the only person we use for any future photoshoots - she makes us feel so comfortable and special, and has truly transformed what I used to dread into a party when my wife tells me it's time for photos!”

  • Serves Ellendale, TN

EDITORIAL MEETS DOCUMENTARY If you're looking for a photographer who captures the little moments and preserves your day in the way it happened, while bringing in the feel of curated images and an elevated experience, you're in the right place. Images will be created by curating artistic images with posing & prompts, while eliminating the feeling of your day being a production and capturing the real things as they happen. True-to-life and true-to-color is the vibe here to give you photos you'll want to share and hang on your walls until the end of time. If you're looking for magical, intentional photos that just scream you, let's connect.

“You can see from Hannah's work on her page that she is an AMAZING photographer. Her work speaks for me. She captured our day perfectly, she didn't miss a shot and captured moments that I otherwise would not have remembered. Her style is unique and really captures the ethereal beauty of a wedding day. What you cannot see from her work is how she manages a wedding day. This woman will be everything you need by your side at your wedding. My veil kept falling off, she pulled the bobby pins from her own hair to keep my veil in place. She knew the timeline of the day and helped us to stay on it. She gracefully kept bridal party stresses off my plate all day. Hannah was 100% present and 100% on top of the day. If you are debating if you want to hire Hannah, just know you are getting not only an incredible photographer but also a person who is willing to be whatever you need to have a stress-free day.”

Danielle Christine Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Ellendale, TN

These aren't just photos. These are stories. They're your story. My approach is natural. I don't force moments, but I do know when to help direct. I want you to feel comfortable enough to come as you are, and let me capture the true essence of "you", because that is what matters the most. I am a natural light wedding photographer, which means I use solely the natural light outside or inside a building. I know what types of light situations are best, and I know how to combat the ones that are out of our control. I think natural light brings out the creamy tones to skin, makes your eyes sparkle, and makes for an organic photo.

I am an event and wedding photographer, whose greatest joy in life is getting to hear and be a part of so many people's unique stories . No matter what you are looking for, I'm sure I can help to create a portfolio as special as you are! When I'm not shooting or developing film I rock a few other titles such as wife, mother, plant addict, and local restaurant enthusiast! Most importantly, I want everyone I work with to feel valued and celebrated, which is why I will always go the extra mile to make sure you are comfortable and having the perfect photo experience. Let's get to know each other! ​

“Amelia was AMAZING!! Throughout the planning process, she helped with our schedule and asked questions which helped us to prepare for our big day.

Ashley Benham Photography is all about bold photos for bold love! I'm Ashley and I'm the owner of ABP! A few things about me: I was born and raised here in Memphis, and no matter how much I complain about the heat and mosquitos, the 901 will always be home. My two cats Lana and Lennon are my world, even when they refuse to listen to me (because let’s be real, CATS.) Music is a HUGE part of my life. I’d be lost without it, and love going to shows and supporting local musicians.

“Cannot recommend Ashley Benham Photography enough! Not only is she mad talented and knows what she’s doing, but she is a lovely and fun person to be around. She made my husband and me feel so comfortable during both our engagement session and on the wedding day. Both Ashley and her additional photographer, Tate, felt like my besties on the wedding day- they were so helpful and encouraging and really made us feel good. We are absolutely in love with our engagement session pictures and are obsessed with the sneak peek photos Ashley has gotten to us from the wedding. We cannot wait to see the rest of the photos, but we are positive they will be stunning and just what we wanted. Book Ashley! You will not regret it!!!”

I believe that EVERY person has something beautiful about them. I am not going to turn you away because you are too short, tall, fat, skinny, ugly. I am also not going to turn you away because you are getting married in a church or a barn or in space (please get married in space). I shoot all of the locations and I show them off proudly. Imperfections are what make my photography beautiful.

“Elizabeth is perfection! My husband and I were greatly impressed by her from the initial consultation and now she feels more like extended family. She was so welcoming and made us both so comfortable that it felt like we were experiencing our time with an old friend. We laughed, we cried and we danced and she captured every moment. Our engagement and wedding photos were beautiful and exactly what we envisioned. The time we spent with her is some of the most memorable parts of our wedding experience. Book her for an unforgettable experience!”

Jason specializes in both photography and cinematic highlight films, eliminating the hassle of couples searching for multiple vendors. From the Oregon Coast to the Utah mountains, his focus is simple: telling your story authentically.

“Choosing Jason as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made. From our very first conversation, it was obvious how excited he was to be a part of our day and how much he cared about making it everything I ever dreamed of. His communication throughout the entire process was exceptional. He was always quick to respond, happily answered any questions I had, and made me feel completely at ease from start to finish. On our wedding day, Jason brought such a positive energy that helped us relax and truly enjoy every moment. From carrying the train of my dress around the whole venue to making sure we actually took a break to sit down, have some water, and eat a snack, Jason went above and beyond to make sure that we were fully taken care of. Jason felt more like a best friend than a vendor. We shared countless laughs throughout the day and created memories that will last us a lifetime. Our family and friends couldn’t stop saying amazing he was! Not only did Jason capture the best day of our lives so perfectly, he also met up with us at Cannon Beach to do an additional photoshoot in our wedding attire. Although it was cold, wet, and windy, we had an absolute blast. Jason embraced every bit of it and got so many incredible photos! You can tell photography isn’t just a job for Jason, it’s truly his passion. He’s a great guy who takes great photos and I couldn’t recommend him enough. We love Jason so much and miss him already!”

“My husband and I were from out of town and hired Sean to photograph us at a Christmas gala at the place we got married. He was accommodating to last minute changes to make the most of the session and even went above and beyond to make it happen. Upon first impression, he was upbeat and had a vision. We were outside in sub 30 degree weather with fading evening light as well as low light inside a building and he was up for the challenge. We ended up with beautiful images in less than ideal conditions and that is what makes a great photographer. Sean has a sense of humor and an eye for that perfect photograph. He was fun to work with and his heart for people and creativity shows through. Thank you Sean for capturing this time in our lives.”

Capturing love stories through my lens is not just a job but a profound joy that I cherish with every wedding I photograph.

I believe in always having fun and prioritizing an stress-free lifestyle which translates into my photography style — candid, authentic, and joyful.

When I was a kid all I wanted to be was a photographer (or a vet) and in 2019 o my husband gave me that opportunity. I left my corporate job to pursue my passion. I started a pet sitting business AND a photography business at the same time and I think it's safe to say that right now I am living the dream. I have three beautiful cats and a wonderful husband who supports me in whatever I do.

“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.”

  • Serves Ellendale, TN

Hi! My name is Mae, and I live in Brooklyn with my girlfriend, our two dogs Apollo and Bia, her cat Gigi and my lizard, Basil! I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

“Mae was an absolute joy to work with when my boyfriend surprised me with a proposal. From the very beginning, Mae's communication was clear, kind, thoughtful, and mindful - she truly made us feel special every step of the way. Her creative, high-quality, and unique photography captured all the special moments, including the exact moment my fiancé proposed. Mae's film-style approach gave our photos a truly special look and feel. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend Mae Krell Photo to anyone looking for a talented and caring photographer who will go above and beyond to make your proposal/engagement/wedding day perfect.”

Tooney White Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (15 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,490
  • Serves Ellendale, TN

I'm Tooney! I was born and raised in the Philippines and now call Northern California home. I've been a photographer for over a decade, and one of my favorite parts of this work is making people feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. I know being photographed doesn't come naturally to everyone, and I don't expect it to. I'll give you direction, fix the stray hair, straighten the outfit, and help you feel like yourself — so you can stop thinking about the camera and enjoy your wedding day.

“Run, don’t walk! My husband and I had the most amazing experience working with Tooney. She is incredibly talented, and kind, her warmth radiates into her photography. My husband and I decided to elope with very short notice and she was able to accommodate us even when leaving town for a big gig on the weekend. We also don’t have experience posing much and she was so skilled at giving us direction. But most importantly it just felt like fun! My husband (who hates taking pictures) said “We got the best photographer possible, she made this so fun”. We got our sneak peeks in just 2 days and we are so ecstatic about the gallery we got. We plan to do a bigger celebration with extended family and friends and will absolutely reach out to Tooney again. You’re in great hands with her!”
