I’m Hayley, a Knoxville, Tennessee-based photographer with a deep love for storytelling, families, and the quiet in-between moments that so often go unnoticed. I specialize in weddings rooted in connection and meaning, with a special love for celebrating couples in the stunning beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. My photography style is a blend of editorial and documentary — beautifully composed, artful imagery paired with raw, real emotion. I’ll guide you into the best light and composition when needed, but I’m also always watching for the spontaneous, heartfelt moments — the ones that can't be planned, only lived.

Based in Nashville and capturing weddings worldwide full-time since 2018, I create timeless, low-stress, editorial imagery and elevated, audio-driven cinematic films for couples who value authenticity, art, and adventure. I believe everyone deserves their story told with creativity, kindness, and intention. With six years of experience, I’ve become more than a photographer — I’m a storyteller, a guide, and someone who helps bring your wedding vision to life with ease and care.

I’m Chelsea—a girl mom, dog mom, cat mom, and lover of all things outdoors. I’ve been holding a camera since 2014, and in 2022 I officially found my heart in photographing weddings and couples. I love capturing the moments that feel real—the laughs, the tears, the quiet glances you didn’t even know happened. My background in journalism and storytelling helps me document your day in a way that feels natural, genuine, and true to you. When I’m not behind the camera, you can usually find me chasing my daughter, planning my next adventure, or soaking up time with my little zoo of pets.

I could give you my spill about how I started shooting with a film Minolta in middle school and that it tugged my heart so deeply I never set the camera down. But I would rather share with you what I love. What I enjoy. What I'm about. I have a passionate soul. I get way too excited too easily. I smile at just about anything. I'm terrible with names. I'm a retired certified public accountant. I'm allergic to dogs. I own WAY too many shoes. I want a tattoo of a vintage camera. I love what I do so much it takes my breath away. This is me. The real me. Not the "fake, I hope I sold you" me. Now let's see if we can make this thing work.

My name is Chelsey and I have been running around with a camera in my hand since I was knee high to a grasshopper. I used to beg my dad to use his 35mm Minolta film camera to take photos of everything under the sun and when he would allow it, the biggest gap-tooth grin you’ve ever seen stretched across my little face and everything else disappeared besides me, my camera, and my subject. Fast forward to today, not much has changed besides the gap-tooth and my own digital cameras! My first wedding was shot in 2011 and I slowly made this into my full-time job! My passion is to capture your unique love in images you will cherish forever!

Hi there! I want to first say that I am pleased that you're here. I am happily married to my husband, Nick. Together, we have a little girl that we call Jojo. I have been a photographer for 5 years now, and my passion is wedding photography. I love to shoot during the golden hour and catch as many candid and timeless photos.

Ever since I was young, I always loved taking photos and capturing moments of happiness, big and small, in the lives of others. This passion grew throughout high school and college, but it wasn't until my senior year at the University of Georgia that I truly believed that this hobby of mine could be transformed into a business. Veronica Katherine Photography started in the spring of 2020, and I am incredibly proud of my business and all it stands for. I am so thrilled to now be doing what I love with people that bring so much joy to my life! I am based out of Knoxville, Tennessee but will travel anywhere that your love story takes you!

I’m Abigail, a Knoxville wedding photographer, and I’m thrilled to share a bit of my heart with you. I believe that transcendent wedding photography is about so much more than clicks of a camera. In my opinion, it’s about relationship. Because of this, I only take on 15 weddings each year so I can focus on delivering a premium, luxury experience. With a style that is ethereal, romantic, and timeless, I craft images that are filled with genuine emotion. From the sentimental to the bold, I document every single moment in a way that’s true to the story unfolding before me.
