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.

What if your photos actually looked and felt like you? Picture yourself 10 years from now on your wedding anniversary looking back at your wedding album with tears welling up in your eyes as you relive your day. Your wedding should not feel like a performance. Let go of boring wedding traditions, think outside of the box and create something unique that has never been done before. Whatever the perfect day looks like for you, why shouldn’t that be your wedding day? I am more than your wedding photographer, I am your guide, biggest fan, and the curator of your love story, I will also be the one tearing up from behind my lens.

Danielle went above and beyond to make sure that my husband and I had the perfect wedding day. 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. She exceeded our expectations in SO many ways and we are so thankful that we chose her to be apart of our wedding day.

Leah made the whole process stress-free with her clear communication and warm personality.

She helped me stay relaxed and assured me everything would be perfect – I'll never forget that. Leah's photos are simply breathtaking. She's a true artist who captured every detail just as I imagined. She made sure we had time for portraits, but also caught those spontaneous, joyful moments that made our day so special.

It showed she was genuinely invested in our happiness. Can't wait to work with Leah again for our future big life-moments!

Fueled by equal parts sweet tea and passion, I spend my days capturing the kinds of images that make you stop, smile and ask time to please slow down. Your story, your love, is beautiful and I can't wait to capture it in images you will treasure for years to come. I believe in real moments and heartfelt conversations on the front porch. In the kinds of images that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments together.

Melinda was an absolute joy to work with throughout the entire process. We first met her for our engagement photos, which gave us the chance to get to know her and feel more comfortable together before the big day. By the time our wedding arrived, it was clear that her vision perfectly aligned with everything we had hoped for—it was truly perfect. Melinda (and her day of team) were incredibly professional, warm, and wonderful with all of our guests. We honestly can’t imagine our day without her. The photos we’ve seen so far are stunning, and we’re so excited to see the rest!

Elizabeth and Cinda were an amazing team to work with! I was able to reach Elizabeth by email, set up in person meetings to talk about flowers and able to communicate with them directly on my wedding day. I chose the ‘Brunch & Blooms’ package, where a group of my favorite ladies came together I create my flowers. We were given step by step instructions on how to make the corsages, boutonnieres, bouquets and centerpieces. Before the big day, they go through all the flowers to ensure they look somewhat uniform and ready to be displayed. The memories I have from our Brunch & Blooms are some of my favorite from the wedding weekend! I also decided to donate my flowers to an assisted living home, where Elizabeth dropped the flowers off and sent pictures to me as well.

I think the best decision we made in our entire wedding process was booking Lindsay and Nathan. They were fantastic to work with - we always felt extremely comfortable and always trusted in their judgment! We worked with them for both our engagement shoot and wedding - and each session truly blew us away. They captured our wedding so beautifully- the videos and photos well cherish forever. I think the best part about working with them - is knowing they had everything always under control - working 2 steps ahead at all times, could control the wedding party (lol), and didn’t miss a beat.

Even in 2024, booking vendors for a gay wedding can be stressful. You never know if you are going to be met with animosity simply for requesting their services, and sometimes seeking out services that cater to gay weddings can be intentionally overpriced due to their rarity. I browsed through Zola, but I could not find a way to filter for lgbt friendly vendors, but googling DJ Triplicate and finding his storefront allowed me to book him. 5/5 A communication, and performance! He responded instantly every time we reached out, and was always quick with a suggestion, or solution any time any obstacle presented itself. Thank you!

What a dream Emilee was to work with, from start to finish. OUR CEREMONY PARTY: we decided on a private, courthouse elopement on a Wednesday, a 60 person reception party on a Friday. In both, our biggest priority was having a photographer capture the intimate, joyful small details. We went with Emilee because of her eye for the beauty in the small things. She captured both our days perfectly. DOCUMENTARY STYLE: Emilee was perfect behind the scenes, capturing beautiful moments of our friends and family, small details of the courthouse with just us. I look back at some of these photos and ask "how did she even get that?!" She has such an eye. POSED: We had about 20 minutes dedicated to posed, family photos during our reception. Emilee had our families relaxed and laughing, quickly swapping members in and out. In some newlywed photos, we sought her advice for how to pose. She gave quick direction, made us feel confident, and always found the perfect light. COMMUNICATION SPEED: Delivered on every promise, quick replies. Emilee was 15 minutes early to both locations, we never had to worry. PERSONALLY: We met with Emilee about 4 months before our big days. We had coffee, talked about our vision and our biggest priorities. She immediately felt like a friend, and knew she was firmly on our team. If you're looking for a photographer to capture not only beautiful photos of yourself, but more importantly, the feeling in every room, Emilee is the photographer for you. We recommend wholeheartedly, and can't wait for another occasion to work with her. Sincerely, Mara James

Diana and Robby, Owners of A Bride’s DJ, feel especially qualified because they both like to celebrate more than the average human. Robby is willing to wear a costume for any reason. Having a themed event? He has dressed up & made announcements like a pirate. Arrr! We have a small team of DJs who have each performed at 100 to 1500 weddings. Our DJs extensive experience & training ensures a smooth planning experience for clients, excelling in communication, are ego-free (so you get what YOU want), detail-oriented, and most importantly…they actually mix the music.

DJ Tony and A Bride’s DJ was beyond what we could ever ask for our wedding day. From the very beginning, both Diana and DJ Tony were attentive, understanding, and incredibly responsive to our music preferences and vision for the reception. (Btw, they are so kind and thoughtful which really made a difference throughout our whole wedding planning and wedding day.) We cared a lot about music and we had particular preferences even though we didn’t have any specific songs in mind. We told DJ Tony what music style we generally liked and the age range of our guests. His mixing skills and how he transitions between songs is just incredible. From day 1, we trusted his skills and was comfortable telling him about our vision. We can tell DJ Tony loves music. If we told him we wanted a LOTR themed wedding I know he’d pull off the best party. His curated playlist, talented mixing skills and DJing created an unforgettable party atmosphere that our guests raved about - they said it was even more fun than any club or party they'd been to! The energy and music were truly top-tier, making our wedding the best celebration beyond what we’d imagine. We are so grateful to DJ Tony, Diana, and A Bride's DJ for helping make our whole wedding experience truly incredible.

I take a documentary style approach to capture those moments as they happen, so you don’t feel like your day is just a checklist. I step in when needed, like for family formals, but mostly focus on letting you enjoy your day while those candid moments unfold naturally.

Our shoot with Emie was the first shoot that we have done as a couple. Our shoot was also a giveaway that I won at a bridal expo. Emie is SO much fun to work with. Our experience was truly one of a kind. We all three clicked and it felt like we were hanging out with an old friend (who happens to take bomb photos). She told us exactly what to do when we didn’t know but also let us just be ourselves. And that’s exactly what we wanted. She captured our image effortlessly and was easy going and encouraging. She is clear with timelines and communication. If you’re looking for a photographer to capture a special moment - you will not be disappointed with Emie’s Photo. 10/10 highly recommend. Thank you again Emie!

Please reach out through my website! I am inactive on zola. My photos are emotion-centered and in the moment. I shoot a combination of 35mm film, medium format film, polaroids, and digital photography. My goal is to notice the right moments and turn them into timeless, artistic, photos made with love - not photos that look like everyone else's. :)

Jesslyn from the very beginning was easy to work with. She was quick to give me all the detailed information I would need to decide to book with her. She was more than willing to speak with my mom about the date too. She set aside time to get to know myself and husband better and made it effortlessly comfortable for our wedding day. I absolutely love the way Jesslyn supported us on our wedding day. On a high anxiety day she was there to advocate for me and make sure we got all of the most important shots to myself and husband. We are so happy with how our pictures turned out. Jesslyn was so friendly, creative, and professional. We are so lucky to have such beautiful reminders of our special day and our family. Jesslyn was extremely time efficient in getting our photos back to us and the quality was AMAZING! She even followed up with us a few weeks after our wedding. You can tell she genuinely loves photography and capturing these important moments. We have already booked with her again!! We would highly recommend Jesslyn to everyone for all occasions!!

Hey yall! I’m Madalyn, the owner of Drozephotographs and hopefully your new photographer friend! I am an Alabama based licensed photographer who loves every minute of it. If you’re looking for an easygoing yet professional photographer, I’m yours! ❤️ The thing that I stress the most importance of is soaking in the moments. Whether that be your first sip of coffee in the morning with your girls, or your big moment when you’re walking down that beautifully stretched aisle. Every moment is so so so important. I would love to be the one that tells your story through your littlest and biggest moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
Drozephotographs provided fantastic clear communication from the moment we booked them through the big day. Madalyn, our photographer, made the whole experience of having our wedding photos taken incredibly comfortable and enjoyable for two people who don't love being in front of the camera. Her kind and patient demeanor, combined with her unmatched attention to detail, resulted in incredibly beautiful work that we will cherish forever. I truly believe having Madalyn as our photographer made the entire experience of capturing our special day a total pleasure.

My name is Katie Cole, and I am the Founder/Head Planner at Palmetto River Planning. I have been planning weddings and events since 2021, but just decided to establish my own company late last year. I am trustworthy, honest, dedicated, and am known for paying close attention to detail. With a passion for this industry, it is my personal goal to make every couple a member of the Palmetto River family and ensure that all our couple's have a worry-free and magical day.

Awarded Best of Zola
Palmetto River Planning was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first call, Katie and her team were helpful, honest, and incredibly knowledgeable about the entire wedding planning process. They were truly hardworking partners who helped resolve any conflicts that arose, ensuring the day went off without a hitch. Katie was my best friend for the day, perfectly timing the groom's arrival so he wouldn't see me before the ceremony, and making sure all the vendors were there on time and did their jobs. The quality of their work and value they provided was outstanding. I cannot recommend Palmetto River Planning enough to any couple planning their special day.
