Hi, I’m Connie—congratulations on your engagement. Thank you for being here and for considering me as your photographer. I take a thoughtful, hands-on approach and believe the experience matters just as much as the final images. I’m involved well before the wedding day—collaborating on vision, timelines, and details to ensure everything feels intentional and effortless. I love curated Pinterest boards, open communication, and creating imagery that feels elevated, timeless, and personal. This is your day, and it should reflect you. Let’s talk!

I had an incredible experience working with Connie from Latek Photography for my wedding! Her communication style was quick, friendly, and understanding throughout the entire process. The quality of her work was truly astonishing - the photos she captured were breathtaking and exceeded all of our expectations.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
When we hired JVaughn Photography we knew we were getting an amazing photographer but we had no idea we would be getting such an amazing person and friend out of it too! Justin is the absolute sweetest person we have had the honor of meeting and he has such a great eye to make our vision come to life! He made sure to have a meeting with us to get to know us and understand the vibe we wanted for our photos and he kept constant communication throughout the entire process to make sure all the bases were covered and he had a clear understanding of the timeframe and game plan. He was the one vendor we NEVER had to worry about. After he gave us our engagement photos, everyone knew he was the perfect photographer for us. Once the wedding day came, the entire bridal party and guests could not stop raving about how much they loved him! He gives clear direction on how to pose, what to do with your hands, how to fix your face, and knows how to use lighting. One of our biggest concerns when finding a photographer is having someone know how to use lighting because more often than not either I get lost in the light or my fiancé gets lost since our complexions are so far from each other. Thankfully Justin knew exactly how to make it all work out! He also stuck to the game plan and made sure none of those important shots are missed but he was also flexible enough to allow us to add in and change some of that game plan. I can honestly sit here and say that thanks to JVaughn Photography, our big day was absolutely perfect (even during covid). We already told him to get ready for our maternity photos, gender reveal, baby shower, and family portraits. I will forever recommend him to EVERYONE.

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.

From the very beginning, Diana's communication style was open, professional, and timely - she was always checking in to make sure our day was going as we had imagined. The quality of her work is truly exceptional, with a clean, timeless, and emotional style that captured all the special moments beautifully. Diana knows the importance behind wedding photos - they aren't just a social media dump, but rather the memories we'll cherish for years to come. She reminded us to take in the little things, and that thoughtfulness really shines through in the final product. We couldn't recommend Diana Marie Photography enough for any couple looking for a talented, dedicated photographer to document their big day.

I was that kid enchanted by Disney Princess movies and the idea of "true love". My true love revealed itself through photography. At 8, I grabbed my dad's camera and was hooked, thrilled to show people my world. I started with zoo animals, friends, and siblings, eager to freeze moments in time. As I grew, I learned from local photographers and knew by 17 that photography was my calling. Since then, I’ve captured love in all its forms: couples, new parents, best friends, and the joy of seeing your favorite band live. The world is full of magical firsts, and I'm honored to capture these moments forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
Having Kaitlyn as our photographer for our wedding was nothing short of a dream. From the moment we had our first call with her, I knew we were going to be so happy in choosing her. Firstly, her personality is so kind, caring, and matched so well with the vibe we wanted for our day - fun, full of joy, and easygoing. During the calls leading up to the day, she carefully gathered special details about us, what we wanted, and used those to capture the best moments from our wedding day. She was a joy to work with from start to finish. Now, the photos - we were amazed with the photo gallery Kaitlyn delivered (not to mention we got our preview the next day, and our full gallery a short time after; we really appreciated that!) the quality of the photos, and the candid moments she captured were so special to us. There are so many moments she captured where I did not even realize she was there, behind the scenes, getting the best moments of our love, and that is a true testament to her talent. Kaitlyn is so extremely talented, and we could not recommend her enough to anyone looking for a photographer for their event. She is exceptional at what she does, and she is a special person on top of that. And a special shoutout to her husband, Jake, who was her second photographer for our wedding. They worked seamlessly to deliver our dream wedding photos, and we are so happy. We get to relive our wedding day over and over with these pictures, and that is priceless.

Soul Stories is our passion project in the truest sense, it was born out of a love for the moments words can’t quite hold — the quiet glances, the laughter between vows, the way love feels when it’s seen rather than said. By day, Sena (lead photographer) is a nurse and Shelton (lead photographer) works in cybersecurity — and as a couple, photo and video has always been the way we remember and cherish life. Documenting love, celebration, and the moments that matter most is something we've always done naturally. We simply decided to share that gift with others.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot truly put into words how amazing our experience with Sena and Shelton was for our wedding. They were extremely supportive, helpful, adaptable, and kind throughout our entire wedding day. They took time out of their day to scope out perfect photo spots ahead of time. In moments where I was anxious, Sena jumped in to settle me down and support me. She touched up my makeup when needed without question. Shelton was extremely helpful in finding solutions to any small problems that came up and always was uplifting our entire wedding party. They capture true genuine moments that feel like a story and they make the day so special and fun. Their work is absolutely stunning and we are amazed with the photos. I will forever run back to them for any photography needs and as a friend! I couldn’t have made it through the big day without them. Will always recommend them to anyone!
