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.

I entered the Event planning market seven years ago through catering and setting up for events. I quickly learned that I loved being by the bride and groom throughout the entire event and watching their special day come to life. Getting to know the couple through the entire process and watching their dreams evolve into the wedding of their dreams stole my heart. It’s my pursuit to take all the stress off your plate and help you build the event of a lifetime. I truly want to become your best friend, go to person, planner, and even a punching bag when things just might not be going well that day, throughout the entire process

I want to give a HUGE shoutout to my wedding coordinator Chloe! She made everything so easy for me, stress free, and created the day of my dreams. From bringing me & my bridal party drinks during photos, to setting up ALL of my decor, bringing my purse (and a groomsmen she found asleep at the venue) to the hotel & she even cleaned the ENTIRE venue for me so my hungover Sunday self didn’t have to.If youre getting married soon I 1000% recommend reaching out to her. One of the sweetest, most genuine, hard working people I have ever met.

My name is Nichole and I’m the Lead Photographer behind the Captivating Lens. I started my full time professional photography journey back in 2013. My Husband Jake is my amazing second shooter and started photography back in high school working with film. Our style is very romantic and soft. I'd say we are very up close and personal shooters and the goal is to take photos that you can feel.We create an artistic approach to telling the story of your special day. From the tiny details to the last kiss, We will be there to document your love story.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with The Captivating Lens for our wedding at Blandy Experimental Farms on May 25, 2025—and we couldn’t be more grateful for their incredible service. From the start, their professionalism and ease of communication set them apart. On our wedding day, they made us feel like nothing else in the world mattered but us. They created such a calming and joyful atmosphere that we were able to be fully present and truly enjoy every moment. One of the most meaningful moments happened even before the big day. We had selected a location on the venue grounds that we felt was perfect for photos. The Captivating Lens took the time to scout the location in advance, and after assessing the lighting, they kindly explained why it wouldn't be ideal for capturing the kind of photographs we’d want to treasure forever. That kind of care and honesty meant the world to us—it showed how deeply they value the quality of their work and their clients’ memories. We would recommend The Captivating Lens over and over again to anyone looking for a photographer. With them, you're not just getting stunning photographs—you’re gaining a team that genuinely cares, listens, and is fully invested in making your special day everything you dreamed it would be.

Captured By Celeste

  • Serves Stanley, VA

Hey there! I'm your friendly neighborhood photographer, Celeste. As a Pisces, it feels like capturing love stories was written in the stars for me—romantic and creative by nature, I pour my heart and soul into every image I create. If you're into Enneagrams, I'm a 4, which means I embrace individuality and artistry in everything I do (though I'm still figuring out all the quirks of what that means!).

Awarded Best of Zola
Celeste is the absolute best at what she does. She is professional and detail oriented but also able to maintain a close relationship and have fun with her clients. I was a massive skeptic on professional photography- as me and my soon to be husband did not like being in-front of the camera. However, Celeste was so easy to open up with and not only was the experience to die for- she makes excellent company. My fiancé and I have grown close to Celeste and we look forward to our plans with her in the future. She is kind and open minded. She is punctual and flexible. She is witty and professional. Celeste has worked with my family and I to make sure that she makes it happen. My maternity photo location ended up being inaccessible the day of our session- and Celeste went above and BEYOND anything I could have asked if her. She set up a glamping tent on her OWN property and made magic with the circumstances we were given. She did my maternity photos in November of 2022, our first family photos in August of 2023, and will be not only photographing but a GUEST at our wedding in March of 2024. If you are new to professional pictures- or just looking for a breath of fresh air - I could not more passionately suggest anybody than Celeste.

Hi there! I believe weddings and elopements are so much more than a "smile at the camera" event. My aim is to document genuine 'in the moment' experiences among beautiful backdrops. It's all about the jitters, the breathless moments, and above all, the powerful love and connection that takes part on your biggest day. I take a photojournalistic and documentary approach making sure to focus on the candid moments while embracing the stunning location you've chosen for your big day. Nothing matters more than those fleeting moments.

Not only was she professional and accommodating, she showed incredible talent in handling the shoot day of, posing us, making us feel comfortable (which showed through our photos), and in her editing. We are so happy with our photo collections and we are so appreciative of her work in capturing our most special day. Besides choosing each other - choosing Brittany as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made that weekend! Book with confidence!

Timeless. Intimate. Organic. My name is Molly Majher (pronounced like "major") and I am a wedding photographer serving VA, WV, MD and more! I'm a wife, mom, and LOTR & HP fangirl. When you hire me as your wedding photographer you don't just get a person who shows up with a camera, but you get someone who you can be yourself around, who answers your questions, helps create your wedding day timeline, holds your umbrella when it rains and calms your nerves. I do all this while taking stunning photos for you to remember all the big and little moments of your wedding day.

I WOULD GIVE MOLLY 10 STARS IF I COULD. First and foremost, Molly was SO easy to work with; she is a genuinely kind person and we loved her instantly. We had a budget so she worked with us and helped create our timeline in order to maximize photos within our allotted time. She made everyone feel comfortable, was quick to direct us for poses/candids, and was very flexible when the family made it hard to coordinate for photos. Professionalism 10/10, Photos 100/10, Communication 10/10. I will forever be grateful that I was able to get her to photograph our wedding. You will not regret having her capture life's most precious moments for you.

Like with anything I do, I’ve put much heart, work and energy into photography. Yet, the most rewarding part are still the emotions, and happy messages I get from my clients. Nothing charges and empowers me more. On your wedding day, you shouldn't have to worry, cause I am there to help you in every way possible. I make sure your dress is all nice and fluffed in every picture, that there is nothing in your teeth, I catch every fly away and I am there to be your hype girl.

I can't gush over Grace enough. After postponing our wedding twice due to Covid, we abandoned our original plans of having a huge wedding at home in Kentucky and decided to have a small ceremony at the beach in Florida. After finding Grace through hashtags on Instagram, we DMed a bit and setup a call. After talking on the phone, I was sold! Grace was my go to girl for all things Florida. She had the BEST recommendations for other vendors and was ALWAYS just a text away if I had any questions or simply needed someone to share wedding plans with. Even though we didn't actually meet in person until the day of the ceremony, it felt as if we had been lifelong friends. She PERFECTLY captured our ceremony and I can't wait to plan another shoot with her when we visit again!!

Where do I even begin? Hiring Amanda and Gailan was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the moment they arrived, they brought such a calming, joyful energy—like they'd known us forever. They weren’t just photographers; they were artists, friends, and a calming presence . They captured everything perfectly—the big moments, of course, but also those fleeting, emotional in-betweens that you don’t even realize are happening until you see the photos and think, “Wow, that was us.” Every photo feels alive, full of feeling and movement and magic. I’ve gone through our gallery a hundred times, and I still get teary-eyed. That’s how incredible their work is. They were organized, kind, hilarious, unobtrusive when needed, and a total joy to have around. It honestly felt like we had two dear friends documenting the most special day of our lives. I cannot recommend them enough—I would scream it from the rooftops if I could! If you’re thinking about booking them—DO IT. Your future self will thank you a million times over. I know ours does.

We cannot express enough gratitude to The Faded Poppy for the breathtaking floral arrangements they created for our wedding bouquets! From our very first consultation, The Faded Poppy was an absolute pleasure to work with. They listened intently to our vision, adjusted as we worked through the vision, offered excellent suggestions, and truly understood the aesthetic we were hoping to achieve. They even kindly helped us work through last minute freak outs, haha. The communication throughout the entire process was professional and reassuring. On the wedding day, when the bouquets arrived and filled the space, they were stunning and added that pop of color we were looking for. They were even more breathtaking than we could have imagined - fresh, vibrant, and perfectly arranged, capturing the essence of our day with such elegance. Every detail was meticulously handled, and the quality of the flowers was exceptional. The Faded Poppy played such a significant role in making our wedding day feel magical and beautiful. We received countless compliments on the flowers, and they looked absolutely incredible in al our photos. We wholeheartedly recommend The Faded Poppy to any couple looking for a truly talented and professional florist who will bring their floral dreams to life for the big day! Thank you again for everything! Sasha and Jonathan Thomas
