Stargazed was built on dreams. As a young girl with a camera, I enjoyed capturing special moments in life and found myself working in the wedding industry in 2013. Life is filled with special moments that should forever be cherished. Memories may fade but photographs remain the same. I would love to document your big day!

I believe in serving well and with love. Getting lost in the moment and not in the details, in experiences shared together, in natural, loving, and joyous moments, in a legacy meant to be shared with generations to come. Moments are remembered most when you have photographs that bring them to life. Imagine pulling out your wedding album on your 50th anniversary. The memories and emotions from this day come flooding back in vivid detail and you fall in love all over again!

I’m Emily — the one behind the camera, your hype girl, biggest fan + newest friend (because yes, inevitably I want to be best friends with all of my “clients”, feels weird evening calling you that) I have been chasing my nieces and nephews around with a camera for years, and following around the photographers at my siblings’ weddings for over 5 years now! I have always loved flipping through old family albums, reliving memories through photos - so about 3 years ago I decided to pursue my dreams and launched this business!

I am creative at heart. A hustle hard and give 100% for you, kinda girl. My second shooter? That would be my husband Marc who has been voted (by me) most likely to make anyone laugh until they cry. It’s no big surprise that witty banter is what drew Marc and I together, and I couldn’t ask for a better husband. (Plus, he’s pretty hot so there’s that.) As photographers, we draw inspiration from gorgeous florals, stunning details, and historical architecture, but what inspires us the most is the love and connection between our couples. I mean, isn’t that what it’s really all about? Photographs that make your heart flutter and tell your story.

Andrew and I met in the most random place, hiking in the woods 100 miles from where either of us lived.

Hey, I'm Mary! It's nice to meet you. Summing up who I am in an "about me" is always difficult. What you must know: (1) I'm a nerd. If you want to talk video games, LOTR or Doctor Who, we HAVE to sit down for a bourbon or a coffee. (2) Yes, I will be out on that dance floor with you snapping away while joining in on the fun. And (3), while I'm a photographer first, supporting you during the planning process feels crucial to me - from building a timeline to having your back any way I can. Woman/LGBTQIA+ Owned

From the first moment my grandfather placed a Sony Cybershot in my hands at age 13, I knew the magic of capturing life's most profound and intimate moments was meant for me. Now, after nearly 24 years behind the lens, what began as a childhood hobby has become everything to me. My commitment to you as your photographer is to apply my skill, creative mind, and decades of experience to your occasion so you have fantastic, tangible memories to look back on years from now. I have made it my goal to become proficient across a wide range of photographic/editing styles, in order to better serve the needs and preferences of each individual client.

When I am not behind the camera or editing photos, I enjoy short Uber rides to bottomless brunch on the weekends; right now mimosas and I kinda have a thing going on! I have a special relationship with bourbon and FIRMLY believe in putting food on the grill during late afternoons should be the norm. I am blessed to be married to the happiest person on earth (I am so serious), who just happens to double as my favorite person. She keeps me grounded and never fails to remind me how great she is.

Hey there! 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.

What if your photos actually looked and felt like you? Picture yourself 10 years from now on your wedding anniversary looking back at your wedding album with tears welling up in your eyes as you relive your day.

I want every step of the way to feel fun and free and to take away the stress of wedding planning. Getting you beautiful photos and helping you relive your day is what I'm here for!
