Hopkins Co 
Rating: 5.0 (23 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,900
  • Serves Melrose, TN

We are a wedding + elopement duo serving the Nashville area + some other special places that make us happy. We can’t wait to meet you! We started capturing weddings through covid when we were stuck at home and needed to find some way to be creative. Savannah went to school for videography and Jon is an OG drummer turned videographer that has really enjoyed getting to create. If we aren’t celebrating you and your love story, you can find us at the beach, probably eating some yummy food, and missing our fluff ball kitty at home. We are so easy going and love to be spontaneous with our plans.

Awarded Best of Zola
We knew Hopkins Co. was the right choice after seeing their portfolio, and they completely delivered on our wedding day. Savannah and John were responsive throughout the entire planning process and made us feel heard at every step. They guided us through poses so we looked natural in every shot, and their eye for capturing genuine moments really showed in the final images. From our engagement session to the wedding day, we got portrait-quality photos that we'll treasure forever. The sneak peeks alone had us blown away, and we're already planning to book them again for our one-year photos when we're back in Tennessee. We can't recommend Hopkins Co. enough—they turned our vision into something even better than we imagined.

When I was a kid all I wanted to be was a photographer (or a vet) and in 2019 o my husband gave me that opportunity. I left my corporate job to pursue my passion. I started a pet sitting business AND a photography business at the same time and I think it's safe to say that right now I am living the dream. I have three beautiful cats and a wonderful husband who supports me in whatever I do.

Aurora is a beautiful person inside and out. She made sure to get every shot we wanted and went out of her way to get some great shots. Her communication was fast and she had our shots ready in no time. She made us feel completely comfortable during a chaotic point of our life and I’m so grateful for her!

Tabitha is truly one of the most gifted photographers I have ever worked with. We loved her energy and the personality she brings to the entire experience. From coffee meetings before the wedding to get organized, to her check ins and open line of communication before the wedding, right up to the day of. She has a balanced, easy going approach to the day which is exactly what you need as a stressed bride. She made everything feel calm yet she moved things along to stay on time as needed. The photos? BREATH TAKING. She captured moments and feelings that quite literally painted the day back in our heads as we looked at the final photos of the entire day. The night of the wedding she sent over probably more than 20 photos for us to have, share and cherish right in the moment. She’s your girl, trust me. It’s not worth looking in any other direction for your photography and videography needs! We love you Tabitha!!!

If adventure makes your heart beat fast, you don't mind straying from tradition, sarcasm and retro music are your love languages, and if you're down to frolic through an open field with me, we'll be best friends in no time. When you choose your wedding photographer, it's about more than hiring a professional to take photos — it's about connecting with someone who'll capture your day with intention. So be sure to ask all your questions, and make sure you *click* (pun intended) with the person behind the camera!

Awarded Best of Zola
Faith is one of the most intentional people I’ve met — she was there every step of the way during wedding planning to support us and provided so much comfort and overall good vibes on the day of! I felt so at ease the entire wedding day, and I credit that to our incredible vendor team, Faith and her team included. I received so many sneak peek pics just under a week after my wedding (a few I got almost immediately!!), and it was amazing to be able to relive those moments already and share them with friends and family. Seeing how she captured these moments, big and small, makes me SO excited to see the final gallery!!! Her editing style is simply gorgeous — it was the main reason I reached out to her initially — but she’s also just a wonderful friend and human. When you already feel like you know someone, it makes it so much easier to be your authentic selves in front of the camera, and for that to shine through in photos. We both have so much love for Faith and are forever grateful she was there to document the beginning of the newest chapter of our love story

Hey! I'm Fiona. Long story short: I'm a wedding photographer because I'm absolutely obsessed with human connection. I have a burning passion for capturing your unique love story and proving to you just how beautiful it is (exactly the way it is). I want to create photos for you that feel like home, photos that are as authentic and special as your relationship. Photos that *look* the way the moment *felt*.

I had the pleasure of working with Fiona and as a fellow wedding vendor, she is the absolute best. Not only is she insanely talented, she was professional, fun, friendly, outgoing, and very communicative leading up to the event. As a coordinator, it's rare that a wedding timeline runs exactly according to plan, but with Fiona's help, we were more than great on time and she still managed to capture every shot beautifully. I highly recommend Fiona to every couple in need of a photographer! She is worth every penny!

Hi there! I'm Sarah, a Nashville-based wedding photographer and I'm thrilled you're here! A bit about me: I'm originally from east Tennessee, and I currently call Nashville home. Though Nashville is home base, I will travel almost anywhere, I regularly offer my services in various regions, including east Tennessee, North Carolina, and Virginia. My journey with photography began at a young age, but it wasn't until college, during my first black and white film class, that I realized it was my true calling. Since then, my passion for photography has only deepened, and I've never looked back.

My husband and I had an exceptional experience with Sarah during our intimate elopement in Sedona, Arizona. Sarah's fun and caring demeanor immediately put us at ease, creating a relaxed atmosphere for our photoshoot. Sarah's organizational skills made planning painless! Her willingness to travel to Sedona showcased her dedication, and the resulting photographs perfectly captured the essence of our special day. I highly recommend Sarah for those seeking a skilled and caring photographer who goes above and beyond to create a memorable experience. Thank you, Sarah, for your outstanding work!

Glenai Gilbert Photography

  • Serves Melrose, TN

Creating intentional, long lasting memories is my passion. I want all the images I create to have a moment where my clients think, “I can’t wait to show this to my kids,” or help them relive the moment as if they could still taste the cake. My art is focused on individuals and the transitions of emotions they experience through their wedding days. It’s such a unique experience to be on the outskirts looking in on someone’s lives’; I get to meet their closest friends and family, see how they do under pressure, how they dance, hear words they speak to their loved ones, and see a day they created so detailed to celebrate something so special.

Glenai is so incredibly talented and absolutely the person you want by your side on your wedding day! She's sweet, fun, efficient, and doesn't miss a thing not to mention I couldn't have asked for better photos. She'll guide you through everything you need to know prior and what to expect, and she'll even handle your "difficult" family members during group photos with ease. An absolute gem!

Hey there! I’m Bri, a wedding and couples photographer serving Wilmington, NC, the East Coast, and beyond. I document love stories on both digital and film, weaving in 35mm, medium format, Polaroids, and even Super 8 to create images that feel timeless and textured.

  • Serves Melrose, TN

It beings me joy and pleasure to be a storyteller, with a pure photojournalist approach and style of capture. I navigate my way through the wedding day with a non-intrusive, fly on the wall approach. This is perfect for the couple who wants to enjoy their day and not have to think about it, and spend long periods of time posing. Natural human emotion and interaction, light, shape, composition, and texture are my biggest driving forces that inspire my work. I proudly serve the LGBT community and am a member of the Nashville LGBT chamber.

I was really worried about finding a photographer. I generally hate having my photo taken, so the idea of someone taking my photo many times over several hours was not pleasant for me. But Jay made me feel so comfortable about the whole thing. We had a long talk about exactly what we wanted, and it paid off. The photos are lovely, and they tell a story, his specialty. I really cannot recommend him enough.

Being a photographer has fulfilled my life in so many ways, I cant imagine anything different.

The engagement session was such a fun and relaxed experience, and the photos came out absolutely stunning—she really captured us. On our wedding day, she seamlessly blended into the background while somehow being everywhere at once, ensuring she didn’t miss a single important moment. The final photos were beyond our expectations—emotional, vibrant, and timeless. Lizzy truly has a gift for storytelling, and we will treasure these memories forever.

My approach is simple: capture your day as it naturally unfolds. From the quiet moments of connection to the big, unforgettable celebrations with family and friends, I’m here to tell your story in the most authentic way. You deserve more than just posed pictures; you deserve memories that feel as real and emotional as the moments themselves. I focus on the raw, unscripted emotions—the way light and shadows play off each other, the way you look at each other when you think no one’s watching. These are the moments I’m passionate about capturing, the ones that truly tell the story of your love.

Brandon wasn’t just our wedding photographer, he was a calm, reassuring presence during a day that felt like a whirlwind. While I was laughing, rushing around, and trying to take everything in, he quietly captured every moment with such care and intention. The photos are full of life and emotion, they truly feel like us. Beyond his incredible talent, Brandon made everyone feel at ease and genuinely seen. We’re so grateful he was there—not only as our photographer, but as a friend.

Meghan Melia: Photographer 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Melrose, TN

I find that most images I am inspired by are the frames after the fact or in between. The moments where you let your guard down, your breath exhale, and your shoulders return to their natural stance. The ones that wholly represent who you are and your connection to the people near you. The goal is for a person looking at one of my photographs to feel it in their guts. To preserve a moment in time so that even those who weren’t actually there can experience every detail, every emotion. I spend a lot of time acting as a witness to life’s very best memories. For that, I am incredibly grateful.

No other photographer can do what Meghan does- she has a talent that is unmatched. Meghan was the first vendor we booked when planning our wedding, and we’re so glad we did. Her work is incredible and she was the best person to have around on our wedding day. She blends well into the background during key moments but is someone who you can look to for reassurance and support if the day starts to feel a bit chaotic. She follows the lead of the couple and her documentary photo style encourages you to stay in the moment, rather than staging your day around pictures. We loved working with her so much, we almost forgot she would be sending us pictures after the fact. When the previews showed up in our inbox, they took our breath away.

I have been photographing weddings & couples since 2014, and every wedding is unique. I would love to chat with you.

We hired Jamie for our wedding this past September and just received our photos. We could not be happier! During the wedding planning process Jamie was there for us every step of the way. She answered all of our questions and helped guide us. She was so kind and personable, by the end she was more like a friend than a vendor. On the day of the wedding she was efficient and organized. She made everything look so effortless. The photos are absolutely gorgeous. We knew she was great, but we were truly blown away when we saw our photos. She really captured every single detail, all of the love and the joy, and each and every guest. Looking through our gallery made us feel like we were right back there on our wedding day. We could not be more grateful to have our special day captured so wonderfully in such a timeless style. We seriously could not be more thankful for Jamie.

I'm passionate about the experiences that make life special, and I think your wedding deserves to be captured authentically and with care — both the quiet and unseen moments as well as the heart-stirring, spectacular moments. When I shot my first wedding 11 years ago, I discovered my passion for storytelling and the joy of being invited into the most important moments of someone’s life...and I’ve never looked back! Even 100+ weddings later, I still get so excited and a little teary eyed with each new couple I meet.

Sara Bill was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From our first interaction, her communication was quick, thorough, and easy-going, putting us at ease throughout the planning process. On the day of the wedding, she was personable and helpful, capturing all the special moments seamlessly. The quality of her work is incredible - the photos are consistently beautiful and captured exactly what we wanted to remember about our special day. We are thrilled with the final results and would highly recommend Sara Bill to any couple looking for an exceptional photography experience!!! She is a QUEEN!

Hi, I'm Kate! Not to be confused with "Cake." (Yes, you'd be surprised how often people think I *really* just said "Hi, I'm Cake." ...... I just roll with it sometimes). Moving on..... By nature I am laid back and inquisitive, eager for meaningful experiences and connection but I also need my 'me time' (AKA Netflix). I have a dry sense of humor, could happily live only eating seafood forever, and am totally okay with the fact that my dog Zoe wears the pants in our relationship.

We had such a fabulous experience working with Kate on our wedding day. She has an incredible knack for being silently *everywhere,* which allows her to capture the most perfect candid moments. She put us and our guests immediately at ease, and the photos capture the pure joy of the day. We would hire Kate again in a heartbeat.
