Heather was kind, professional, and FUN from start to finish. She has years of experience and it SHINES through in every aspect of her work. Though located in Raleigh, she traveled to Florida to photograph my wedding - and we were SO grateful she did that. My favorite part of working with Heather was how big of a cheerleader she was throughout our sessions. If you book with her, you’ll be so comfortable with her, confident in yourself, and trusting that she’ll capture beautiful memories of your most special day. Thanks a MILLION, Heather!!!

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.

Hanna captured our elopement and to say she did a perfect job would be an understatement. She was so easy to communicate with and her presence is comfortable and peaceful. Her kindness and love for what she does is apparent as soon as you meet her. I could go on and on; we loved her!! She was the perfect pick for our day and the best decision we made for our elopement, aside from getting married! Her storytelling through our photos and video was spot on, allowing us to relive those emotions and moments, and giving our loved ones a chance to feel and live that day for their first time. It was obviously felt deeply by all. We seriously cannot thank her enough for everything!

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's photography skills are simply unmatched. From our engagement session to our wedding day, she effortlessly captured the essence of our love story, creating timeless memories that we will cherish for a lifetime. During our engagement shoot, Megan made us feel comfortable and relaxed, allowing our personalities to shine through in every photograph. When it came to our wedding day, Megan exceeded our expectations once again. She effortlessly blended into the background, capturing candid moments and genuine emotions with an artistry that is truly remarkable. Megan's photographs tell the story of our day with authenticity and grace. She went above and beyond to ensure that every shot was perfect. Megan's passion for her photograph is evident, and it shines through in every photograph she takes. She has a gift for capturing the beauty and creating images that are both breathtaking and full of meaning. We are beyond grateful for her talent, dedication, and professionalism, and we recommend her to anyone in search of a photographer who will capture their most precious moments. Thank you, Megan, for giving us memories that will last a lifetime!

Hi! I'm Ashley. My business was built on a foundation of love and dedication. I've been photographing weddings for over three years and can say with certainty that weddings are my favorite! I love to get to know my clients and their families, and bring a sense of calmness to their wedding day by using my natural humor.

Awarded Best of Zola
Let me tell y’all about this amazing chic! She came in and saved the day! We lost our photographer about 2 weeks before our wedding, we knew it wasn’t the right fit for us. I reached out to Ashley Painter Photography and she made time in her busy schedule ( while finishing grad school, being a mom, wife, and running a business!) to travel 2 hours each way to capture our day. Not to mention working hand in hand with our DJ on a timeline of events to make sure she was in the right spot at the right time to capture the best shots! Our contract said allow 16 weeks for full gallery, she said “ girl, don’t you worry, I won’t make you wait that long” and here we are, 3 weeks later and completely surprised, she delivered a full gallery of the most amazing moments of our day. If you’re ever in the Charleston, South Carolina area and need some pictures done remember to call the best! It’s so much more than just snapping pictures

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.

Thanks to Rivkah, we have never felt more met with empathy than when we had to re-arrange our wedding plans. Rivkah was there to walk us through new options and adapt to our new needs. In the end, we followed her creative muse as she took us through her vision of an Icelandic elopement. It was the easiest and most majestic wedding we could have ever had and I'm not sure there's another photographer out there that could have mimicked that same experience for us. Get her booked & trust her vision! :)
