You know those moments that are so good they don't feel quite real?
The ones where scenes you've dreamed of are suddenly happening in front of you?
These moments are the reasons that I became a photographer.
Whether your wedding is the party of the century or simply an intimate dinner with your closest people,
I believe it deserves to be captured attentively and so so beautifully.
I use motion picture film and film photography to help make the magic happen.

My name is Jamie, a Nashville based wedding photographer and filmmaker. I’ve been photographing weddings for over ten years and I swear the couples who have the most fun are the ones who are just excited to be there with their people.
To me, that’s what wedding photography is all about. The details and flowers and invitations are beautiful parts of your gallery, but the photos you’ll be looking back on for years are the photos of contagious laughter and scream singing on the dance floor, a tender hug from your family who live far away, the way your partner looks at you when you aren’t paying attention.
These are the moments.

Nashville Wedding Photographer
the photographer
This is me with my partner on our wedding day - in the pool in our clothes, surrounded by our friends, absolutely loving life.
I've been photographing weddings in Nashville and around the world since 2014, setting aside my other career ideas and going full time in 2018.
I didn't want anything big or traditional for our wedding and neither did Mack. So we did our own thing and it was perfect. We biked, used flowers from my neighbors' gardens, had dinner at a Mexican restaurant, then had donut holes and drinks with our friends at an upscale bowling alley.
Whether your plans include a classic southern wedding in your dream venue or a gathering in the park, I would be THRILLED to help you scheme. We had so much fun making all of our ideas come to life and I'm so grateful to my good friend Meghan for capturing it all.
Want to throw a pool party? Take over a summer camp? Have dinner at your local bar? Rent a boat on the lake? Whatever you're planning, I'd love to hear it.

If you are looking for a wedding photographer who will thoughtfully, graciously, and artistically capture your big day, look no further because you found her. I happened upon Jamie after my original photographer had to cancel and I have been thanking the good Lord every day since that we ended up having Jamie at our wedding because she was truly THAT wonderful.

about having Jamie as our wedding photographer. We initially used her to capture our proposal, and we loved her and our photos so much that we used her for engagement and wedding photos as well! We had never taken professional photos before and she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and always gave us prompts when we weren’t sure what to do! She is extremely organized and communicates so well about each detail of the day way in advance. I can’t recommend her enough and we’ll cherish our photos forever!
I truly can't say enough good things

We loved working with Jamie from start to finish! She easily blended into the background and captured the special moments of our day! Not only was she our photographer, but very quickly became our friend, creating an atmosphere that easily let us be us as she took the pictures. We highly recommend her!
Better than I could have imagined

My name is Jamie.
I've been living in Nashville and photographing weddings and events of all kinds since 2014.
I aspire to be both an artist and a friend in my work.
My love of photography comes from a love of creating. I was always creating as a child, whether with paints or at a piano. Photography and filmmaking bring together the act of creating with the beauty of connecting with people and learning about their lives and documenting life's most precious moments for them and with them.
It has been the greatest honor working with couples and brands all over the globe, and I'm glad that you're here.
