Nastasya Franc Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)

  • Serves Gatlinburg, TN

My work is defined by the intersection of European art influence and American classics. I offer a highly intentional, elevated approach to wedding photography — one that prioritizes both aesthetic excellence and emotion. With a bilingual background and experience working with international clientele, I easily find the right approach to my clients needs. Through a balance of intuitive direction and unobtrusive observation, I capture both the grandeur and the quiet, fleeting moments that others often miss. The result is a body of work that feels timeless, sophisticated, and deeply personal.

We celebrated our wedding at Trillium venue in Sevierville TN, they offered me list of photographer but I decided to search myself and after 3 phone consultations I found Anastasiia. From the very first moment we talked with her I knew we were in good hands! Her professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail were evident throughout the whole process. She excels at her craft, takes her time and brought the best of us in each photo. If you’re looking for a photographer with a great personality and who will go above and beyond to make sure you get the best pictures look no further! She had a second shooter with her, that girl was taking care of the grooms bridal party and guests, everyone complimented us on both of them, as they made everyone feel their best! Grateful that we found her and will be returning customers when we visit the smoky mountains!

Hi I’m Sav and I do things differently :) I offer digital, film, & super 8! I’m a full time lover girl and have been photographing love stories since ‘21! I’m a cinematic/documentary style photographer based in East Tennessee but I’m all over the globe documenting true love. I’m a wife, mom and lover of Jesus. I love people SO much it hurts and weddings are so special to me. So welcome!! I’m so glad you’re here :)

Savanah Marie Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with on our wedding day. From the beginning, their communication was easy-going, clear, and consistent, which put us at ease throughout the planning process. On the day itself, Savanah was so considerate - it was freezing outside, which made it difficult to take photos, but she gave us ample breaks to warm up and recover from the unrelenting wind. She also made sure to capture all the poses I had requested. While we haven't received the full collection back yet, the sneak peeks we've seen are absolutely captivating and such high-quality. The photos beautifully capture our love story and the beauty of our wedding day. I have never felt more beautiful and my husband feels the exact same way. Savanah's work is truly of the highest value, and we couldn't be happier with the results.

Hey There! I’m Hannah - an Intimate Wedding Photographer originally from the coast of Virginia but stumbled my way to the North Georgia Mountains which I now proudly call home! I love finding new adventures while exploring new places! I started my Photography journey capturing families but soon realized that my heart was completely drawn to capturing love & the bond that two people share! I describe my photography style as more Candid & Story-Telling driven with a soft, nostalgic film influence! I have a strong focus on genuine emotions over stiff posing, capturing the intimate in-between moments that just feel natural and timeless!

Between our engagement photos and the wedding, Hannah was so much fun to work with! Her prices are fair and her quality of work is fantastic. Love her editing style.

My husband and I come as a photo team! We feel your day should be captured your way! So we tailor our style and editing to each unique couple! It’s not about us, it’s about you. We will help you document what is most important to you, the way you envision! Just like you, we have felt awkward in front of the camera. We’ve had photos taken of us that we didn’t like. We will make sure you not only feel comfortable, but that you look good! We give you prompts to keep you moving so you look and feel natural and comfortable.

Wedding planning is sooooo stressful, and Lacie and her team made the photography part such a breeze!!! I told my fiance that I was nervous about choosing a photographer because our pictures would last forever, but with Lacie all of that anxiety was gone!! I love how she doesn’t have just one specific style, but she takes the kind of pictures that YOU want. She was great at helping my husband and I with poses and she was even more amazing helping us at our wedding!! If I had to do it all over again I would still pick her to shoot our wedding. She did amazing!!!

I honestly thought wedding photos would just be nice pictures, but these are so much more. They look like a dream come to life, but still feel real. The colors are so bright and warm. I loved how they even captured my shoes, my grandma’s smile, and my husband’s goofy dance moves. The video makes me cry every single time I watch it. We couldn’t have asked for more, really.

Hi, I’m Carson, and I’m based in Columbia, SC! I have been photographing weddings and elopements for over seven years! I was born and raised in East Tennessee but have lived all over the country. While my primary focus is wedding photography, I am also a biologist, which brought me to this beautiful state. I love expressing my creative side through photography and witnessing the joy it brings to my clients. I specialize in a blend of editorial and documentary-style photography. I aim to capture natural moments as the day unfolds, but I’m also happy to give gentle guidance when needed.

Awarded Best of Zola
Carson Lillard Photography was an excellent choice for our wedding photography. Their communication was effective, as they planned ahead and worked seamlessly with our videographer. The quality of their work was outstanding - we're always finding a new favorite photo they captured. They even recreated a special photo of my mother from her own wedding, and helped us with creative poses throughout the day. The only thing I wish is that we had more photos of just my husband alone, but overall their service and the final photos exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend this talented team!

Your wedding photos should feel like your wedding, not a photoshoot with a wedding squeezed in. I love the editorial, frame-worthy portraits just as much as anyone, but the moments I'm really chasing are the ones you didn't even realize happened. The deep breath before you walk down the aisle. Your grandma absolutely tearing it up on the dance floor. Your partner looking at you like they just won the lottery. Those are the photos that somehow become everyone's favorites.

I don’t even know where to start. Every photo, every clip in the video feels like it was made with care. I’ve looked through the album at least twenty times and I keep finding new little things they captured like my niece’s shy smile, or my mom wiping away a tear. They were professional but also incredibly warm and helpful the whole day. It didn’t feel like we were being directed, just guided in the most gentle way. I’ll treasure these forever

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

Hey there! I’m a wedding photographer with over 10 years of experience capturing real, true-to-tone moments that feel just as magical as they did on your big day. I’m all about blending professionalism with heart — because I truly care about my couples and making sure they feel seen, celebrated, and completely at ease in front of the camera. From laughter to happy tears, I’m here to catch it all while keeping the vibe fun, upbeat, and totally stress-free. Let’s create memories you’ll cherish forever!

Choosing the right wedding photographer was one of the most important decisions we made, and Rachel exceeded every expectation we had. My daughter and her husband had a very specific editing style they were looking for, while I was focused on ensuring we would receive a large collection of high-quality images to preserve these memories for years to come. Rachel delivered on every front. What truly set Rachel apart was her ability to connect with the moment. At times, it felt as though she was part of our bridal party, sharing in the excitement, joy, and emotions of the day. Yet at the same time, she and her team mastered the art of being present without ever being intrusive. They blended seamlessly into the celebration, allowing everyone to be fully immersed in the experience while still capturing every meaningful detail. Rachel beautifully documented the essence of the wedding, preserving not only the major moments but also the genuine emotions and interactions that made the day so special. Her professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail were evident throughout the entire process. Thank you, Rachel, for helping us preserve memories that we will cherish for a lifetime. If the sneak peeks are any indication of what is still to come, you absolutely knocked it out of the park. We cannot wait to see the final gallery and would highly recommend Rachel to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photographer.

On our wedding day, Teara captured all of our favorite shots, even as the wildfire smoke and wind rolled in, and she worked seamlessly with our other vendors to keep everything running smoothly. What impressed us most was how natural everything felt in front of the camera—she has a gift for making moments feel real instead of posed.

Jeremy helped me feel relaxed and supported during our entire day, going far above the job of a photographer. In addition to who he is simply as a person, he is also the BEST photographer! He had sneak peeks back to us in less than 24 hours and I was absolutely blown away. He captured the most special moments that made me feel like I was reliving the day all over again!

Awarded Best of Zola
Choosing the right photographer is a big deal—truly one of the decisions that can make or break your entire experience. We met Nathan at the very beginning of our journey, during our engagement shoot at the Biltmore Estate. We were both nervous, awkward, and completely unsure of what to expect. Then Nathan arrived, and everything changed. Within minutes he had us laughing, relaxed, and genuinely enjoying ourselves. That was the moment we knew he wasn’t just talented—he was special. So when it came time to choose someone to capture our wedding in Sedona, we took a chance and asked if he would fly out. Honestly, we thought it was a long shot… but he immediately said yes. And thank goodness he did. I will never forget the moment he walked into the room on my wedding day. I had just started feeling that wave of nerves while finishing my hair, and the instant Nathan stepped in, I felt completely at ease. How does he do that? He has this quiet magic about him—an ability to ground you, hype you up, and disappear into the background all at once. His passion is infectious. His eye for intimate, meaningful moments is unreal. And somehow, while capturing every single one of those moments, he manages to remain practically invisible. When we received our gallery, we both laughed, cried, and sat there in awe. It felt like reliving the day, but through the lens of someone who truly understood us. To put it simply: Nathan is gifted. Exceptionally, unmistakably gifted. We even showed our engagement photos to another top-tier photographer, and her reaction was: “Book him immediately. His editing is some of the most incredible work I’ve seen—I want to talk to him myself!” If you're reading reviews trying to decide who to trust with your memories, stop here. You’ve found the one. Nathan exceeded every expectation we had—and then ten more we didn’t even know we should have. He is the best of the best.

Every couple deserves wedding photos that are magazine quality.

For me, the perfect wedding photo encapsulates three key elements: the couple adoring their appearance, a genuine display of emotion, and soft lighting.

Ericka did an amazing job capturing our special day. She is incredibly talented and capable of capturing every moment perfectly. Looking at our pictures it seems like she was everywhere all at once…I wouldn’t trust anyone else with your special day or event. She is not only an amazing photographer, but an amazing support system for your special day. Thank you so much Ericka

Hey There, I'm Melissa and every day I'm hustlin! SOME MIGHT CALL ME “EXTRA”, AND YOU KNOW WHAT – THEY’RE RIGHT. I’M EXTRA UPBEAT, EXTRA MOTIVATED, AND EXTRA DETAIL-ORIENTED. BASICALLY I'M DRIPPING IN FINESSE! ;) NOT TO MENTION I ALWAYS GIVE EXTRA TO MY COUPLES (LIKE SENDING BANGIN’ SNEAK PEEKS THE DAY-AFTER THE WEDDING..JUST SAYIN’) ;)

Melissa photographed our wedding in January and did an AMAZING job! We got to know her for our engagement shoot and I knew we’d love the photos she gave us. She was very communicative prior to the wedding and the day of our wedding as well. She was able to get all the photos I could have wanted and the photos were all GORGEOUS. I’m obsessed with them and look at them probably every day. I would highly recommend Melissa!!
