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.

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.

Documentary-style wedding photography with 12+ years of experience based in Nashville, Tennessee and available wherever you are.
a Nashville and Denver based wedding photographer and filmmaker. I’ve been photographing weddings since 2014. I've seen a lot, I've seen "the industry," and this is not that. I am here for the artists, the curious, the ones who don't want the day to feel like a production. I'm here for the adventurers, the travelers, the couples like you who want beautiful and artful photographs to remember the emotions and the moments of your wedding.
The details set the stage for your guests, and 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.
I use cameras older than my parents and develop the film in my neighborhood studio. Each of your photos means so much to me.

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.

The final film is breathtaking. Every time we watch it, it brings us to tears in the best way. It has been equally special sharing it with family members who couldn’t attend. It’s so special to be able to make them feel like they were really there, experiencing every emotion and joy of the day.
Working with her was an absolute joy every step of the way. Her work is truly priceless to us, and we feel so grateful we chose her to preserve our story. Highly, highly recommend!
She captured all of the little details that make the day uniquely ours

During the wedding planning process Jamie was there for us every step of the way. She answered all of our questions and helped guide us. She was so kind and personable, by the end she was more like a friend than a vendor....
The photos are absolutely gorgeous. We knew she was great, but we were truly blown away when we saw our photos. She really captured every single detail, all of the love and the joy, and each and every guest.
Like we were right back there on our wedding day

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... 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
