Hi, I'm Rachel! I'm the photographer and heart behind R Photos, based in Chattanooga and serving couples across Knoxville, Nashville, the Smoky Mountains, and beyond. I've been photographing weddings and elopements for 8+ years, and I still get butterflies every single time. My approach is simple: document first, curate second. I'm there as a quiet witness to your day, capturing the real, unscripted moments as they happen rather than staging everything from scratch. All are welcome here, and I'd love to be part of your story.

Rachel with R Photos is not just a talented photographer. She handled the planning and coordinating of my Tennessee elopement efficiently with every detail I requested in mind. On the way to the ceremony my husband and I got lost and did not have signal, so we were panicking and super late. Rachel calmed us down and assured us we would make it and she still gave us all the time we had originally planned to take photos, which turned out STUNNINGLY AMAZING! She captured the vibe I wanted perfectly, and the location she helped pick couldn't have been more perfect. I got my mountain views and my wildflowers. I can not recommend her enough if you are planning an elopement. Even the officiant and vendors she used for us were top tier. My bouquet was gorgeous. Cake was delicious and adorable. I literally can not stop looking at the photos and showing them to everyone. It will be nearly impossible to choose which ones to hang on the wall! Rachel is so cool and super talented. You will not regret choosing her for any of your photography needs especially your elopement.

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.

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.

From the very beginning, Diana's communication style was open, professional, and timely - she was always checking in to make sure our day was going as we had imagined. The quality of her work is truly exceptional, with a clean, timeless, and emotional style that captured all the special moments beautifully. Diana knows the importance behind wedding photos - they aren't just a social media dump, but rather the memories we'll cherish for years to come. She reminded us to take in the little things, and that thoughtfulness really shines through in the final product. We couldn't recommend Diana Marie Photography enough for any couple looking for a talented, dedicated photographer to document their big day.

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
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.

TLDR: she is talented, professional & kind very helpful as someone with limited mobility. Tessa & her team photographed & recorded my wedding last weekend, and they were a dream to work with. I am chronically ill & so I knew on my wedding day I could not be running around to different locations for photos, and Tessa was extremely mindful of that fact & made sure to work within the parameters of what was doable for me. I was worried my limited mobility would mean my photos would be a little boring, but she's already sent a handful of pictures over for a sneak peek & they are GORGEOUS. Tessa is a true professional but also someone who clearly loves what she does, which I think really shows in the quality of her work. Could not be more glad to have had her & her team document my special day! :)

I was a 2025 bride, and to be completely transparent, we originally planned to spend no more than 3,500 on a wedding photographer. After speaking with Candy, we decided to invest 2,000 more than our initial budget, and it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Candy’s communication is truly exceptional—you can immediately tell she loves what she does. She is incredibly creative, adapts effortlessly to any situation, and brings such a calm, confident presence. She’s never pushy, yet she directs with grace, which made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. My husband and I were married at 21c Museum Hotel in Durham, and we wanted a blend of elegant, traditional wedding photos along with fun, fashion-forward, editorial-style images—and Candy absolutely delivered on both. Her editorial shots look so effortless, even though you can tell there’s a lot of intention and artistry behind them. We inquired with five different wedding photographers, but we immediately connected with Candy—her personality, professionalism, and stunning work stood out from the rest. Beyond her talent, she is genuinely one of the sweetest, most humble, and human people you’ll ever meet. Candy offers a truly elevated wedding photography experience, and I would recommend her without hesitation to any couple looking for timeless, editorial, and heartfelt wedding photography.

Your wedding day should feel effortless, joyful, and uniquely you — and I’m here to make sure it does. My priority is to create a relaxed, enjoyable experience while capturing every meaningful moment along the way. From the quiet in-between glances to the big, emotional highlights, I’ll be there documenting it all with care and intention.

Jessica Barney Photography was a fantastic choice for our wedding photographer. From the very beginning, their communication was clear, prompt, and thorough. Jessica captured every moment of our special day beautifully, and we couldn't be happier with the final photos. Jessica was professional and kind throughout the process, and a joy to work with. The photos perfectly reflect the joy and love of our wedding, and we are so grateful to have such beautiful memories to look back on.

Hi, I’m Judah—the heart and hands behind the lens. My journey began when my mom gifted me a camera in 2020, and what started as curiosity quickly became a calling. Filmmaking, for me, is more than documenting a day; it’s about capturing the essence of who people are and reflecting the beauty of how God created them. My approach is cinematic, poetic, and rooted in authenticity. I want your wedding film to feel like a time capsule something that brings back the emotions of your day and carries them into the future for generations to feel and experience.

Judah was a fantastic part of our wedding day! He collected awesome footage and audio throughout the day and we loved both the trailer and full video he created. Even though he just met our photographers that day, he was able to quickly develop a working relationship with them and they made a great team. Judah is a great person, easy to work with, and does high-quality work! Couldn’t recommend any higher.
