We're so glad we've connected through our online "home!" If you're new here, here's the scoop: We're a husband-wife Chattanooga wedding photographer team specializing in wedding and family photography around the greater Chattanooga, Nashville & Knoxville areas in Tennessee.
I'm married to my second shooter and best friend, Jimmy. We're raising the most handsome boy and three furbabies.
For us, photography's not just about taking photos, it's our way of loving others. We hope that through our business we build genuine relationships that create an impact in people's lives and our community.
You'll find us capturing weddings for AR Couples or fleeting seasons for families, providing resources for wedding planning, or just simply sharing glimpses into our everyday lives as parents and business owners on Instagram. Welcome!
Here's to making new friends!
Hey there!
Aside from being a professional third wheel on days, I'm a mommy, wifey to my second shooter, enneagram 1w3, and obsessed with all-things-nature. I left my position as a Master-level Social Worker to run my photography business full-time. Before making that decision, I didn’t think I could make the same difference through “just photography” as I I could with my degree. But, I believe that God gave me my photography skills and the opportunity to run a business for a divine reason. He has proved time and time again that there are no accidental bookings and each one serves a purpose. That gets me pretty stinkin' excited!
There's joy, passion, and curiosity in every move we make from the first phone call to the first camera click to days spent editing. Every detail matters, and our couples and families come back to ARP because of that. We hope you’ll click around, learn even more about us through our work, and say hello!
We're a husband-wife Chattanooga Wedding Photographer team for the authentic couple who want an exclusive experience and timeless captures.
