Hey friend!
If you're planning a wedding in Knoxville, East Tennessee, or beyond, you’ve probably got a lot of questions, like what you should expect to spend on a wedding photographer, what’s actually included in each package, and whether travel is an option. As a wedding photographer based in Knoxville, I’m here to help make that decision a little easier (and a lot less stressful).
Let’s talk about what goes into your wedding photography investment—and why it’s worth every penny.
What You’re Really Paying for with Wedding Photography
When you book a wedding photographer, you’re not just hiring someone to show up with a camera. You’re investing in:
- Experience & Planning Support
I don’t just show up on your wedding day. I help you plan your timeline, stay organized, and make sure your photo experience flows smoothly from start to finish.
- Professional Quality
Your wedding images are edited with care and intention, no trendy filters, just timeless color and clean, classic edits you’ll love for years to come.
- Access to a Professional Print Shop
You’ll receive an online gallery where you can view, download, and easily order high-quality prints, albums, and gifts.
- A Personal, Fun Experience
Your photos should reflect you. I work closely with every couple to create space for real moments, so you walk away with photos that feel honest and natural.
Why Prices Vary from Photographer to Photographer
Here’s something important to know: wedding photography pricing isn’t one-size-fits-all.
Photographers set their rates based on a few key things, like:
- Years of experience
- Type of gear and equipment used
- Editing time and style
- Business expenses
- How much hands-on support they offer before and during the wedding
I’ve been a professional photographer for over 10 years, and I’ve spent the last 3 years focusing specifically on weddings. That means I bring a decade of experience in capturing emotion, movement, and detail, and I understand how to handle the unique pace and pressure of a wedding day.
Let’s Talk Pricing
I offer several wedding day packages based on the type of day you’re planning.
Packages start at $900
This option is perfect for smaller weddings or courthouse ceremonies where you want just a few hours of beautiful, intentional coverage.
Need more time?
I’ve got options for half-day and full-day coverage, with planning support and custom timelines to keep everything running smoothly.

Rather than list every detail here, I’d love for you to explore them visually on my Wedding Investments page. That way, you can compare your options and find the right fit.
Do You Travel for Weddings?
Absolutely! I love photographing weddings outside of Knoxville, and I’m happy to hit the road (or skies!) to capture your big day, whether it’s in the Smoky Mountains, Chattanooga, Nashville, or even back in Arizona, where I’m originally from.
For weddings more than two hours away from Knoxville, a travel fee will apply. I keep travel fees fair and transparent, and we’ll talk about them up front, no surprise charges later.
Why Couples Love Working With Me
Whether you’re a laid-back couple looking for a documentary-style vibe or someone who wants a little more guidance throughout the day, I’m here to make you feel relaxed and confident. I’m not just your photographer, I’m your teammate, hype girl, and calm presence when things get hectic.
My background in communication and my love for storytelling come together to give you a wedding photography experience that’s thoughtful, intentional, and fun from start to finish.
