The 12 Best Wedding Photographers in Nashville

Photography plays a crucial part in how we remember our lives, best moments, and the special time we spend with our loved ones. Of course, your phone’s selfie camera, as great as it is, is insufficient for the task of capturing your wedding — one of the most important days of your life. Committing to a life partner and joining your life with theirs is a monumental event. This is why hiring the right wedding photographer is essential. We’ve assembled a list of the 12 best wedding photographers in Nashville who can turn moments from your big day into works of art — which is exactly what you deserve.

1. Poirier Wedding Photography & Film

Poirier Wedding Photography is husband-and-wife team Stacey and Brandon Poirier, two adventurous and meticulously organized wedding photographers. The duo splits their time in Tennessee and Florida. Not only are they incredible photographers with a colorful photojournalistic style, but they’re consummate professionals who are known for their personal touch and ability to keep things running smoothly on your wedding day. They’ve been named among the best wedding photographers in Nashville for multiple years, and when you see their photos, you’ll know why.

2. Laura K. Allen Photography and Design

Laura K. Allen is an energetic and talented photographer who takes some of the most achingly romantic photographs we’ve seen. We’re not even quite sure how she does it. It’s just a plain fact that some people aren’t very comfortable in front of a camera. And yet, time after time, Laura manages to put her clients at ease, bringing to the surface the kindness, love, and longing the couple has for each other. To celebrate your union, hire a wedding photographer like Laura and the others on this list, who never tire of capturing the miracle of love.

3. Zoe Life Photography

Zoe Nguyen of Zoe Life photography is a skilled photographer with a well-balanced photojournalistic style. She shirks the trends and pre-set filters currently dominating consumer photography, and instead simply looks to capture the truth — with only the slightest bit of editorializing. We love photographers who take organic photos, with real colors, natural lighting, and minimal post-production work — and get it right the first time. Zoe has made a name for herself as an absolute joy to work with, a true wedding artist.

4. Lily & Lime

The team at Lily & Lime are extremely popular Nashville wedding photographers, loved for their self-described “Easy. Affordable. Beautiful” wedding photos. When you hire Lily & Lime, you’ll get a team of competent photographers boasting a signature style that’s light, airy, natural, and so, so sweet. We love that they have a collaborative style. You can just tell that their photos are a mixture of their vision and that of the couples they photograph.

5. Nashville Photography Group

Jeb Wilson of Nashville Photography Group is one of the more established wedding photographers in the area. The Knot has called Nashville Photography Group one of the best in the city for years, inducting Jeb Wilson into their Hall of Fame. If you want to work with an artist who doesn’t take shortcuts and always brings the same energetic creative drive to every wedding he photographs, give Jeb and Nashville Photography Group a try. We’re confident you’ll love his natural, warm style.

6. Kelsey Leigh Photography

Kelsey Henry of Kelsey Leigh Photography is an incredible wedding photographer with a classic documentary style. Compared to some of the others on this list, she’s relatively new to the Nashville area. But she brings a wealth of experience to each photoshoot and takes thoughtful, purposeful photographs that brim with personality and warmth. Her candids really shine. It’s rare to have such an eye for capturing joy.

7. George Street Photo & Video

George Street Photo & Video comprises a large talented team of creatives. Their photojournalistic candids and gorgeously composed portraiture is what they’re known for. With the extra work they do on the front-end to make sure everyone’s on the same page, it’s easy to see why they’ve been inducted into The Knot’s wedding photographer Hall of Fame.

8. Melanie Grady Photography

Melanie Grady takes some of the most joyful photos around. Her photos acknowledge the magical and mysterious side of matrimony. This is a large part of why she’s been named among the best wedding photographers in Nashville by The Knot for multiple consecutive years. In addition, The Knot has inducted her into its Hall of Fame of wedding photographers. We also love that she’s proudly LGBTQ+ friendly.

9. Sowing Clover Photography

Sowing Clover Photography is Christopher Jones’s wedding photography studio. Christopher’s dramatic, slightly vintage style is part documentarian and part fashion photography. He’s known for doing whatever it takes to get the right shot — the one that brings your vision to life and lives up to his standards of aesthetic honesty. If he needs to lie in the snow or kneel in the mud to get that perfect shot, so be it. He provides a whole range of photographic services, including destination wedding and engagement photos.

10. Andrew Kenworthy Photography

Andrew and Beth, the husband-and-wife team behind Andrew Kenworthy Photography, are fun, talented photographers with a contemporary yet classic photojournalistic style. They’re based out of Nashville and Tullahoma, but they’re also available for destination weddings. We especially recommend these two if you’d like to work with a second photographer as well. They will capture absolutely everything.

11. Frozen Exposure Photography

Husband-and-wife team Bobby and Tanya Macks specialize in taking wedding photographs in a romantic, classic Southern style. Their photos have the hallmarks of big skies, orange and pink sunsets, warm joyful smiles –– all that lovely Southern magic. The team at Frozen Exposure seems to never cease being inspired by romantic optimism. You and your partner will love working with Bobby and Tanya — you can trust them to tell your love story.

12. Doerman Photography

Brit and Michael Doerman’s flattering, unpretentious documentary-style photography takes advantage of natural light. They take photos using classical techniques and an extreme attention to detail. Their photos bring out the natural beauty of their subjects, and their smiling bride photos are especially breathtaking. In picture after picture, you can see people just being themselves, which is what the Doermans are experts at portraying.

There are a few things you can do to help guarantee you’ll receive wedding photos you’ll love. First, work out your shot list ahead of time. This will probably require that you spend some time looking through other peoples’ wedding photos and taking note of what you like and don’t like.

If you’re having a big wedding or aim to capture absolutely everything as it’s happening, we’d suggest considering working with a company that can provide you with a second photographer (as many of these photography outfits can). Beyond that, lean on your photographer’s expertise as much as possible. If you go with one of these photographers, you can trust you’re in good hands, as they are among the most talented wedding photographers in Nashville.
