Destination + Tennessee Wedding Photographer
intentional, honest, romantic
now booking 2024-2026 Weddings & Elopements
You value beauty in all its forms and want the perfectly imperfect captured. You want to be fully present during your day soaking in each moment with an intentionally unhurried approach. You want to dance with freedom at your reception, ending your day with zero regrets knowing full well your memories have been preserved with great care.
Then, years later, you want to relive all the love and joy you felt when you married the love of you life. You want to see the small in between moments like the tear he wiped from your cheek as you read your vows, just as much as the grand moments of your first kiss as husband and wife.
I value your day as if it were my very own, ensuring you have a wedding day that is stress free, memorable, and truly reflects all you have been dreaming of.

Meet
As invested in you
as you are in each other.
Photography is a big investment, financially and emotionally. I understand you are entrusting me with your memories and trust me when I say I do not take my job as your photographer lightly. Rather it is an honor to serve you by protecting your memories with intention and great care.
My approach looks like this: From day one, I'm pursuing a relationship with you. Breaking the stranger barrier to better understand who you are as a couple. What's your love story look like? What are your top priorities for your day? When you look back on this day years from now, what are the overall emotions you want captured? The answers to these questions are my roadmap to creating a gallery that looks and feels like you.
I value you and your unique qualities. There is no such thing as awkward when you stand in front of my camera. I want to capture exactly who you are - if you are quiet and calm, your photos should reflect this. If you are carefree and full of spirit, your photos should reflect this.
I understand you are new to the process, but you can rest assured knowing I am not. Through emails and calls, I'm here to help guide you through the entire process - with vendor recommendations, timeline planning, location scouting, and more!

Meet Your Photographer, Chelbe
" We cannot say enough amazing things!"
WE CANNOT SAY ENOUGH AMAZING THINGS! We got married on 4/20/2024 and oh my god.... perfect. What made it even better, we were honored to have Chelbe capture our day! They are very warm and romantic. She is like a little mouse during the ceremony so you don't even see her but yet, it's like the pictures she's taking are as if she was standing in the middle of it all. Chelbe was so kind and extremely patient, on time, and was so professional. Man oh man, if we didn't live in WI, I would have her do every single event of my life.
Chelbe, I know I just sent you an email with all caps and lots of heart emojis, but we just have to say it again. Thank you. So much. These pictures are about to be hung up in our home forever. They are beautiful photos.

"She knew how to make us feel comfortable and has a great eye for scenery."
"Chelbe is one of a kind. We have never taken any sort of professional pictures before and we are very awkward. She knew how to pose us, make us feel comfortable, and she has an amazing eye for scenery. She was great to work with.
