Hello & welcome! I’m a film-forward wedding photographer and videographer in Tennessee, capturing real moments and timeless imagery. I blend digital with 35mm film and Kodak Super 8 to create work that feels nostalgic, imperfect, and deeply human. My documentary approach lets the day unfold naturally, preserving the in-between moments that matter most. I’m drawn to experience-focused weddings — intimate gatherings, outdoor celebrations, and days that feel like a meaningful hang with your favorite people.

1 year later and I’m still so obsessed with my wedding photos! Hanna did an amazing job capturing all of the moments that made our day so special. She traveled out of state to take our photos, and was super communicative every step of the way. Super easy to work with and a joy to be around!

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

Grace was a pleasure to work with during the wedding planning process. She was timely in her responses and upfront with pricing. On the day of the wedding, it felt like we were herding cats, but she remained professional and efficient. Even though we were running behind schedule with getting dressed, she managed to squeeze in a few dress shots and some first look photos. Grace remained patient even as some of our friends and family showed up late for photos! As we moved between locations, she made sure I was holding my dress in a way so that I wouldn’t fall on my face. She also helped my MOH bustle my dress after the ceremony (again, so I wouldn’t fall on my face). Grace was always cognizant of the lighting on location, and how it would affect photos. Her assistant, Joey, was lovely and accommodating as well. All in all, a wonderful experience!

Raleigh and Winston-Salem based wedding photographer specializing in providing its couples with true to life, colorful imagery that is reminiscent of film photography. with timeless posing and color that will last a lifetime. David is down to earth, chill, and is easy to work with. David also specializes in family photos, spring and fall mini sessions, engagements, bridals, and branding.

We truly can’t say enough good things about our wedding photographer! As out-of-town clients, planning a wedding from afar came with its challenges, but he went above and beyond to make the entire process smooth and stress-free. From our very first conversation, he made us feel seen, heard, and completely at ease. On the day of our engagement shoot, he instantly made us feel comfortable in front of the camera (which is no small feat!)—he has such a calm, kind presence that brought out the best in us. The photos turned out absolutely stunning—natural, timeless, and full of emotion. You can tell he puts his heart into every shot. When our wedding had to be rescheduled and he was no longer available on the new date, he didn’t just leave us hanging—he found us the perfect replacement, someone who matched his style and vibe flawlessly. That level of care and dedication is rare, and we are beyond grateful for it. He is truly the best and the kindest, and anyone would be lucky to have him capture their big day.

My philosophy is simple... I am here to tell the story of the day you married the love of your life. I want to document the excitement of you getting ready with your best friends, the look on your mother's face when she sees you in your dress for the first time, and the tears your father cries during the father - daughter dance, and that "Oh my God, we are really married?!" look of joy on your faces as you walk down the aisle as a married couple for the first time. I will pose you and guide you when necessary, but I believe when you are focusing on each other and really soaking in those moments --- that's when the magic happens.

Megan was the best photographer we could have ever asked for! She captured every aspect of our wedding day from start to finish. She was on time, communicative, and sent the pictures back in a timely manner. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera and helped pose us when need. She also created our wedding album that came out beautifully!

Hi! I'm Christin, a destination wedding photographer based in Chattanooga, TN. Specializing in timeless and artful imagery, my expertise goes beyond just taking photos; it's about crafting a visual story that reflects the joy, love, and unique spirit of your celebration.

Working with Christin at Christin Sofka Photography was one of the absolute highlights of our wedding journey. From our very first inquiry to the days following our wedding, Christin has been nothing short of phenomenal—responsive, professional, fun, and such a warm presence throughout. We initially found her because of her stunning photography style, but it was her incredible personality that sealed the deal. From our first call, she genuinely wanted to get to know us—our story, our vibe, our vision—and it showed in everything she did. Before we even officially hired her, Christin was helping us find a venue that aligned with our dream, connecting us with other amazing vendors, and offering support in ways far beyond the role of a photographer. She was in it with us every step of the way. I’m usually awkward in front of a camera, but somehow Christin made it feel effortless and fun. She created an environment where we could just be ourselves—and that joy, love, and personality came through in every photo. Our pictures shine with who we are. Every idea we had, she embraced and brought to life in ways that exceeded our expectations. She was just as excited as we were the entire time—and honestly, I can’t imagine our day without her. Christin is not just a photographer—she’s a true artist, a cheerleader, and a calming, creative force you’ll be so lucky to have by your side. If you’re considering hiring her: do it. You’ll be singing her praises too.

  • Serves Merry Hill, NC

I'm Ali, a wedding photographer based in North Carolina with over 10 years of experience capturing the unique stories of wonderful couples. Finding a photographer whose work you truly love is essential, but it's equally important to choose someone who will bring out your best and make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. I strive to do just that and would love the opportunity to be part of your special day!

From our first call, I knew Ali was the photographer we needed (seriously think we booked within 24 hours). We immediately felt comfortable with her as if we were talking to a friend and, as two people who tend to be awkward in front of a camera, this went a long way. During our engagement shoot, she helped find poses that worked naturally, made us laugh during the cheesy shots that turned into our favorite pictures, and brought my Pinterest dreams to life (we had the same pics pinned so it was meant to be). Not to mention she was even sweeter in person. On our wedding day Ali jumped straight into it seamlessly. She’s easy to be around and brings a calming presence no matter what’s going on around her (calling her the calm in the storm would be an understatement). She captured every moment perfectly and had our best interest at her forefront the entire day. She even found excuses to give me a pause if she noticed I was getting nervous or seemed overwhelmed (I never told her I noticed she did that for me but it was so appreciated). After the ceremony, she knew exactly how to wrangle in our families and wedding party, and somehow managed to capture the best photos in record-breaking time. This is getting long so I’ll wrap it up, but if you’re anything like me and you’re indecisive or worried about making the right vendor choices, trust that you won’t regret this one. I could go on and on but, long story short, we’ll be forever grateful we chose Ali!!

I'm a filmmaker and photographer who believes every couple has a story worth telling, not just documenting. My background in directing films has shaped the way I approach weddings, focusing on genuine emotions, meaningful moments, and timeless imagery instead of staged poses. Every wedding is unique, and my goal is to create photographs and films that let you relive the feeling of your day for years to come. I pay close attention to light, composition, and the small moments that often go unnoticed, because those are the memories that become priceless over time.

Alvaro’s team are beyond talented! We did a photo shot with my sister who is pregnant and the pictures came out so good, better than what we expected. He is so professional and we honestly couldn’t have a better team to capture this moment. I 100% recommend him.
