JayLynn is FANTASTIC! She traveled solo all the way to Arkansas for our wedding day! We booked her over 1 year out from our wedding & we started our google meets once a month to plan. She helped plan the finest details and offered her input and advice for every part. The day of the wedding I had a dress malfunction & she went to the store to grab the needed supplies to fix it. Her personality is so bubbly and she is very easy to get along with. We had the most perfect day & are so glad she helped make our wedding run smoothly. We highly recommend her for your wedding!

Awarded Best of Zola
Finding the right videographer was incredibly important to us because we wanted more than just photos. We wanted to capture the voices, the laughter, the tears, the movement—every emotion that made our day unforgettable. At first, we struggled to find a connection with the work we saw, but after months of searching online, we came across Alex V Films, and his work left a lasting impression on us. It was exactly what we had been searching for. From the moment we met Alex, his warm personality and passion for his craft put us completely at ease. He took the time to understand our vision, showing incredible attention to detail and truly listening to what we wanted. His talent for capturing not only the big moments but also those small, candid interactions brought everything to life in a way we could only dream of. Alex was able to beautifully weave our vows into the movement and storytelling of our film, bringing each word to life. In my vows, I shared a memory about my papa. As he approached his final days, I asked him, “Papa, what can you tell me about love?” He gently touched his chest and said, “You feel it in your heart.” Alex captured this moment with such care; as I spoke the words, “my papa touched his chest,” the video transitioned to my wife, sliding her hand gently down my chest, mirroring my papa’s gesture. It was as if he had breathed life into our vows, capturing not just the words, but the emotion and legacy behind them. Alex made the experience of working with him enjoyable. Throughout the process, his communication was top-notch, and professionalism shone through every step of the way. He was attentive of our needs and made the process easy. Alex didn’t just record our day—he captured its essence. Every look, every laugh, every precious detail we wanted to hold onto is now a part of a beautiful memory we’ll cherish for a lifetime. These are moments that photos alone could never fully capture; they’re filled with emotions that will be felt and connected to for years to come. At the beginning of this process, Alex was a stranger. As we got to know him we felt as though he became a friend. We’re forever grateful to have found Alex, who created more than just a video—he created a keepsake of our love and joy that we will cherish for a lifetime.

Hey there! Since you are trusting me to capture these special moments in your life, I figured you should probably know a bit about me, right? I am a Huntsville, Alabama native, but moved to Nashville after graduating from the University of Alabama in 2013. ROLL TIDE! Although I consider Nashville home, I am anything but a homebody. I love traveling and exploring new places (especially the food at those places!). I even studied abroad in Italy, which let me tell you, was a food lover's dream. I have always felt like an old soul trapped in a millennial’s body. I would rather listen to Frank Sinatra than anything on the radio today.

Within minutes of our first video call with Danielle, we were sure that she was the perfect fit for our special day. She has such a personal touch about her that really stood out to us immediately - she was so interested in getting to know us as a couple and as individuals. Continually throughout our wedding planning process, Danielle would check in with us to answer any questions we had, offer suggestions and advice when needed and discuss our visions for our wedding day. She brought all our wedding day visions to life through her photography and beyond that, she brought a calming, fun-loving and positive energy. She captured so many special memories on our wedding day - the raw emotion, the candid moments, the beautiful landscapes, the laughs and everything in between. By the end of the day, my husband and I, and our guests, felt like Danielle was apart of the family. When we got our sneak peak photos back, it was impossible for us to choose favorites because every photo is just incredible. I cannot say enough good things about Danielle. She is incredibly talented at what she does and she is such a kind and caring person.

Serenity Events was the perfect wedding planning team for our big day. From the very beginning, Autumn was incredibly efficient, thorough, and upbeat in her communication style. She was always available to answer our questions and provide her professional, kind, and calm guidance. We gave Autumn a run for her money as our wedding venue was Rob parents house that was under construction until a couple days before our wedding day. We had to make changes to our original wedding plans due to excessive rain and hurricane Milton causing flooding, Autumn remained flexible and helped us pull off an absolute miracle. The day our of wedding, the ceremony was supposed to be lake side. Well, its Florida and it rained. So, yet again plans had to be changed. But, Autumn had a plan for every scenario, which allowed us to stay relaxed and simply enjoy our special day. Thanks to Autumns expertise and positive attitude, along with her assistance, Nikki and Allie, our wedding ended up being more spectacular than we ever could have imagined. We are so grateful for their incredible service!

Ten stars, a hundred stars, a MILLION stars to Rachel and her company, For Her Weddings & Events. My husband and I booked the partial planning package for 2024 and had 9 months of assistance with planning. Rachel immediately alleviated my anxiety about shopping for a wedding dress as a plus size woman, and assured me that she would use her knowledge of the bridal styling industry to get me into sample dresses, fitted properly, and feeling like a perfect bride. And she did. She handled all the appointments, but it turned out we only needed to go to one shop before we found my dream dress, which Rachel actually pulled herself! Throughout the months leading up to our wedding, Rachel met with us monthly and maintained a gigantic checklist, also texting to check in on progress and talk about completed tasks. She is very quickly responsive. Her timeline and notes were incredibly valuable, especially when our venue got a few things wrong that we'd discussed previously. Rachel knew what we wanted and handled everything. Because of Rachel and her company, I was not stressed leading up to my wedding. Everyone I saw commented on how calm and happy I was, and how they wished they had felt that way for their wedding. Rachel and her team gave me that, and took all my wedding stress away! I highly recommend For Her Weddings & Events for planning any event you have coming up! Photo: Rachel sending me down the aisle!

If you're the kind of couple that would prefer their photographer feel like one of the guests as opposed to a paparazzi, and if when the neighbors complain about the noise, you just invite them to the party, keep reading. I take a documentary-style approach to my weddings. Roaming with a camera, I capture the candid moments and small details that make your wedding unique to you, while making sure to set aside time for a few special portraits.

Steph is a wizard, ninja, and a unicorn all rolled into one. From the minute we reached out to her she immediately made us know we were in good hands. She was clear, communicative, and professional, but every time we talked it still felt like talking to an old friend. (Several of our guests assumed that she WAS an old friend of ours who happened to be a photographer — that’s how warm and chill she is.) Ahead of time she was great about getting details of exactly what we wanted, so that on the big day she just slipped in and out seamlessly without pulling us away from the fun. She was also careful to figure out exactly what we wanted the vibes of the final product to be (candid, colorful, joyful) and she delivered in spades. The finished products are beautiful and were delivered quickly (both the digital copies and the physical prints we ordered). We cannot recommend her highly enough!

You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

Abby wasn’t able to travel to my wedding but she sent her assistants and she edited the photos. It went absolutely perfect. The photos were beautiful and I got so many meaningful photos with my family and his family that I wouldn’t have thought to get. I sent her draft of a timeline and the photographers printed it out and had it to make sure the photos I wanted got done. They were absolutely amazing. Thank you so much to Abby and her team.

Get To Know Me: I'm an destination wedding & elopement photographer based in Arizona & Idaho, but I travel globally! I've been doing photos for 7 years now and I'm in LOVE with it! When I'm not doing photos I'm singing/karaoking, going on hikes/nature walks, playing board games with the fam, watching movies/binging shows, listening to music, and doing anything outdoors! I'm also a total foodie, avid reader, and love animals. Fun Fact: My favorite weddings to do are outdoorsy, nature filled, boho, romantic, modern, elegant, or adventurous weddings! Also, heads up I will fangirl with you over your dress!

Working with Adriana was SUCH a blessing to our whole planning experience! From the start, she was so genuinely friendly & easy to work with! We were planning a wedding out of state and being local to the area that we got married, Adriana went above and beyond to help us! She even knew the venue we were renting and helped me understand what to expect so I could plan with ease! Adriana was always available to schedule a call with & was so patient with my communication through a busy summer! She was even willing to book last minute bridals following our wedding weekend to make our dreams come true of capturing the Teton scenery (not to mention, her immaculate vibes during the shoot!). On top of being the kindest person, she is so talented & captured every emotion from our wedding day in ways we couldn’t have imagined. We are so grateful for Adriana’s talent and kindness and absolutely recommend her to everyone!! Having a small and intimate wedding, Adriana truly felt like a friend celebrating with us! She is just the best!
