The Talented Photographer was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, Alec's communication style was fun, professional, and incredibly personable. He had a true passion for his craft that shone through in every interaction. The quality of Alec's work was absolutely stunning - we got a wonderful variety of candids, formal shots, and editorial-style pictures that captured all the special moments of our day. Alec has an incredible eye for the right shots, and the final photos are absolutely gorgeous. Despite a complicated location schedule that I was worried about, Alec made the whole day seamless, traveling to over 4 different spots to ensure we got all the groupings and special shots we wanted. Alec truly went above and beyond, and we had such a great time working with him. I'm obsessed with the pictures and would give him an 11/10 rating!

Awarded Best of Zola
Liepina Photography & Videography perfectly captured our special day. Linda is very knowledgeable, communicative, and professional. I especially appreciated her ability to direct my fiancé and I with posing suggestions. We had never taken professional photos so we felt a bit awkward going into it. However, after our engagement shoot with Linda we were confident she would capture our wedding perfectly. I would definitely recommend Liepina Photography & Videography. My husband and I look forward to working with them in the future to capture our next milestones.

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.

From the engagement shoot to the big day, everything was flawless. They remembered our dog’s name and even took the cutest photos of him with my veil! It’s those personal touches that made everything so special. I loved how they listened to what I wanted and still surprised me with creative ideas. The editing is stunning but still natural no weird filters, just perfection. My friends can’t stop asking who took our photos. Totally worth every penny.

After our first photographer fell through, we found Caz and luckily he happened to be available on our wedding date. From the very first contact, he was incredibly responsive (super important to us), friendly and professional. His work looked great so we were excited - then we found out he was featured in Vogue! We were stoked. He was amazing to work with on the wedding day - punctual, friendly, got all the requested shots, and the whole bridal party loved him. We got our pictures back today - and they’re so much better than we could have dreamed of. It’s no wonder he was featured in Vogue - his work is artistic, candid, and beautiful. Thank you Caz for giving us such beautiful memories so we can relive the best day of our lives.

We hired Ana and a second shooter (Katie) to photograph our wedding (June 2022). Both were extremely professional and I felt very comfortable discussing my photo list with Ana. During the wedding, they took spectacular photos of the wedding preparation, the ceremony, and the reception! They took some absolutely magnificent pictures of us (the bride and groom), as well as photos of our guests that they will remember for many years to come! The photos arrived on time and well-edited, with a great preview that we were able to share right after our wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot say enough incredible things about Katy! From the moment she arrived, her energy was calm, positive, and grounding, which is no small feat because I was a happy but very unprepared, slightly chaotic bride. Not a bridezilla, just the kind of bride who unintentionally gives everyone anxiety by being behind schedule and all over the place. And somehow, Katy turned all of that into calm, beauty, and joy. A huge shout-out as well to her sister, who helped with everything and was such a light throughout the day. Together, they made the experience seamless and truly special. Her photos are colorful, fun, and full of life. They feel spontaneous and natural, yet every shot is absolutely perfect. She captured genuine moments, real emotion, and so much happiness. Looking at our photos, I can feel the day all over again. I am beyond thankful that Katy was our photographer. Any bride, groom, or wedding party would be incredibly lucky to work with her! She is talented, kind, steady, and truly special at what she does. Choosing her was one of the best decisions we made. Thank you for everything Katy!

I can’t say enough great things about our wedding photographer! From the moment we booked her, she was organized, professional, and incredibly attentive to every detail.

Her calm, warm demeanor made us feel at ease in front of the camera, and she had such a talent for blending seamlessly into the day—capturing candid, natural moments while also guiding us through stunning posed shots. The photos themselves? Absolutely breathtaking! Her eye for composition and ability to capture emotion is incredible. Every picture feels alive, as if we’re reliving the day all over again.

Hello, I'm Kaley — the founder and lead photographer at KTP for the past seven years. What began as a creative passion has grown into a thriving business, and I’m so grateful for the journey so far. 9 years ago, my deep love for storytelling through photography led me into the wedding industry.

Photography for me started at a young age. Multiple family members were photographers, someone always had a camera in hand, always capturing each moment. As I got older I truly learned what it meant to only have a memory in a photo, and my passion has never ended. I love capturing life, and each and every moment of it.

Heather was more than we could have ever imagined. From engagements, bridals, bachelorette, wedding & anniversary she has been absolutely amazing. Her work is unmatched and her personality makes you feel like you’re working with a friend. The communication before scheduled dates and events was so appreciated and very thorough. Choosing to work with Always Photogenic Photography is the best decision we could have made for our wedding adventures & now we are so thankful to have a lifetime photographer and friend.

Chris Benavidez deserves a perfect five star rating - and deserves all the five star reviews he has received in the past and will receive in the future. Wedding photos are forever, and it's impressive how a one second press of the shutter can lead to a photo which expresses a lifetime of love, memories, celebration, and laughter. Chris makes sure to capture those moments. He is responsive, attentive, detail oriented, timely, and most of all, charismatic. He has an amazing personality and really wants what's best for the couple, and I believe that is expressed in the photos he creates. He will shoot in any location you wish, will take any angle of shot that you wish, and will make sure you are happy with the end result. And trust me, you will be! You know how you always look at your grandparents wedding photos or your parents' wedding photos, or even a friends wedding photos and say "wow thats a good picture"? You will get a thousand of those good pictures with Chris. He will create a set of photos that perfectly captures your special day, and you shouldn't look elsewhere for a photographer. Oh!

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.
