I'm Emily - a Pittsburgh-based wedding photographer set on capturing intimate, joyful, authentic, & emotional photos. I want you to look back on your wedding photos not just love the way they look, but I want you to remember what the moment felt like. My hope is for you to feel the way your loved one hugged you as they gave you away, to laugh as you look back at the best man giving his speech...every captured moment has a feeling. I will do my best to stop those moments in time for you to experience forever. I am witty, goofy, sarcastic, open-minded, & honest. I will be your ultimate third wheel.

Awarded Best of Zola
Do you want your wedding photos to look like they should be in a magazine? Do you want something that is gorgeous with a little bit of 'tude on the side? Do you feel like you're going to be super awkward in photos but yet still want these results?? Then call Emily right now! We worked with Emily for an engagement shoot, boudoir shoot and wedding photos and the experience I had with all 3 of those sessions were top notch. Emily "got our vibe" right away and her personality immediately put us at ease, and for reference,I usually run at around an 8 anxious at all times and my husband is an accountant and hates being in the spotlight. I can't stop looking at all of the photos we received from all of these shoots and my friends keep telling me how obsessed they are with our photos. On an emotional note, Emily captured all of the elements from our wedding that you spend so much time on, but don't really get a chance to truly "look at" on the day, and I SO appreciated seeing all of those images in our photo collection just as much as the literal works of art that are our wedding portraits.

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.

Working with Brooklyn Rain Brides was an incredible experience! Finding Brooklyn felt like fate! She was everything we needed in a planner. My husband and I decided on having a small wedding in a short amount of time and it was better than I ever imagined due to Brooklyns' help! The planning stage was organized, productive and so much fun. I felt like I was chatting with a good friend during our meetings. The moment Brooklyn arrived to the venue on our wedding day, all of my stress vanished. She took my cell phone and really took charge! I was able to finally unwind and really be present with my now husband. She designed a gorgeous sweet heart table and flower arrangements for our reception. Brooklyn made sure that we, the Bride and Groom, were well looked after during the very busy day. From our very first interaction, Brooklyns' communication was organized, calming, and positive. We cannot recommend her team highly enough! *Brooklyn came up with the idea to take photos in the elevator and those are by far my favorite photos in our wedding album!

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
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

I started this journey almost eight years ago. Being a photographer brings me so much joy. I have three perfect little models of my own. I understand how much the "perfect picture" means. Whether it's a family session or your wedding, I'm not just your photographer, I'm your friend. Hair out of place? I'll fix it! Dress needs holding while we find a new spot to shoot at? I got it. Got something in your teeth? I'll check. But seriously, I'm there to capture your moments and make sure they flow as smooth as possible. Specializing in Portraits, Weddings, Events & Families. Nothing too small or too big for us to handle.

Oh my, I could write a book about Jenna! The most outgoing person behind the camera who makes it feel so normal to be in front of the camera!!! Who can say their photographer was their saving grace in the midst of a bridal panic attack? ME! From providing such a beautifully, fun beach engagement shoot, to all of the back and forth communication (for 9 months), giving me the best and most beautiful bridal portraits (that I got to enjoy with my Momma), and spending our rehearsal dinner with us, she joyfully captured the best and most important day of my life (and kept making more friends the entire day!), I truly found a dear friend in Jenna. Now, whenever I’m a wedding guest and see Jenna we both run to each other with arms wide open. I’m thankful my engagement and wedding brought me to Jenna. Jenna Light Photography will photograph my maternity, my newborn(s), family photos, and all of the in-between, as long as she’ll allow me to be a client of hers!!! Brides (& Grooms), do yourselves THE biggest favor and book Jenna Light as your photographer. You won’t regret it. PS. The hardest part of this review was choosing what pictures to give y’all…they’re ALL SO GOOD *tears up*

If you’re ever doing an in-home shoot, she will nail it.

Your wedding day should feel like you, relaxed and joyful, surrounded by the people you love most. It’s about real moments, laughter, happy tears, and the quiet in between times that make the day truly yours. 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.

Emie was such an amazing photographer! Since my initial phone consultation, I knew she would be the perfect person for our elopement! She went above and beyond our expectations and made our special day better than we could’ve imagined! She captured not only photos but our emotions and memories that we made. Since we eloped, we wanted to make sure we had the perfect photographer to capture our day, and Emie was just that! She took amazing photos, gave amazing advice on what to do in the area, and basically planned our entire elopement. She ensured that our day was smooth and completely stress free. When weather seemed as if it would be a problem, Emie was quick with brainstorming alternatives- thankfully the weather was perfect! I couldn’t imagine a more beautiful and stress-free elopement, all thanks to Emie! Thank you so much for all that you do, we could not be more grateful!

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. :)

Hiring Jesslyn was one of the best decisions that we make throughout the whole wedding process!! (And I can't stress that enough)! She was incredibly caring, creative, and professional. Our photos were truly incredible, and she really captured the vibe that we were going for. We've gotten so many compliments on our photos and a ton of inquries about Jesslyn's work. We got all of our photos back really quickly, and she made us feel like a priority. We plan to work with her a ton more in the future!

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.

Choosing Drozephotographs as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made. From the moment we first spoke with her we were impressed by her skills and how easy going she was working with clients. She was understandable and checked in with us to go over our wedding day. She even helped us make a guideline we were comfortable with to help on our big day. Her work is simply beautiful, perfect, and incredibly unique - she captured the most natural and beautiful moments of our special day! Drozephotographs helped us create a schedule so we didn't have to worry about a thing, and made sure we felt at ease in front of the camera, providing helpful tips and poses that made our photos stand out. It never felt awkward or forced, and every single picture she took was truly one of a kind. I’m still in awe over these photos no one could’ve done a better job! We are so grateful for her incredible service and would highly recommend her to any couple looking for wedding photographers.
