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.

Based in the heart of Nashville and journeying with couples worldwide full-time since 2018, I specialize in crafting timeless, low-stress, editorial images and elevated, audio-centric cinematic wedding films. For the free-spirited and the adventurous, for the lovers of art and bold style, your dream wedding memories await. Everyone deserves to have their wedding captured with care, creativity, and kindness. I can't wait to create an amazing experience for you and your partner.

I’m Chelsea—a girl mom, dog mom, cat mom, and lover of all things outdoors. I’ve been holding a camera since 2014, and in 2022 I officially found my heart in photographing weddings and couples. I love capturing the moments that feel real—the laughs, the tears, the quiet glances you didn’t even know happened. My background in journalism and storytelling helps me document your day in a way that feels natural, genuine, and true to you. When I’m not behind the camera, you can usually find me chasing my daughter, planning my next adventure, or soaking up time with my little zoo of pets.

Hi there, I'm Hanna! I'm so glad you're here! For me, photography is a calling to show others how beautiful it is to be in the moment and to appreciate every little detail of life that God has crafted for us. I’m passionate about making every wedding & elopement a personalized and perfect day for my couples because I don’t see them as clients, but as friends. I will do anything for my friends who are the core of what I do. Every milestone you go through matters the most to me. Now let’s make some magic.

I could give you my spill about how I started shooting with a film Minolta in middle school and that it tugged my heart so deeply I never set the camera down. But I would rather share with you what I love. What I enjoy. What I'm about. I have a passionate soul. I get way too excited too easily. I smile at just about anything. I'm terrible with names. I'm a retired certified public accountant. I'm allergic to dogs. I own WAY too many shoes. I want a tattoo of a vintage camera. I love what I do so much it takes my breath away. This is me. The real me. Not the "fake, I hope I sold you" me. Now let's see if we can make this thing work.

My name is Chelsey and I have been running around with a camera in my hand since I was knee high to a grasshopper. I used to beg my dad to use his 35mm Minolta film camera to take photos of everything under the sun and when he would allow it, the biggest gap-tooth grin you’ve ever seen stretched across my little face and everything else disappeared besides me, my camera, and my subject. Fast forward to today, not much has changed besides the gap-tooth and my own digital cameras! My first wedding was shot in 2011 and I slowly made this into my full-time job! My passion is to capture your unique love in images you will cherish forever!

Veronica Katherine Photography started in the spring of 2020, and I am incredibly proud of my business and all it stands for. I am so thrilled to now be doing what I love with people that bring so much joy to my life! I am based out of Knoxville, Tennessee but will travel anywhere that your love story takes you!
