Hi, I’m Nelya, a Knoxville and Chattanooga Wedding Photographer. 

There are moments in life that become a huge part of our story, and guide us down a path we never thought we’d be on.

For me one of those was photographing weddings.

FUN FACT: I do not let weather cause unnecessary stress for your engagement session and wedding because I love the challenges presented to find ways to help you receive the best wedding photography experience possible. In fact, I embrace it! Even if that means rearranging on the fly to create unplanned gorgeous night time images in the rain.

I love providing the value of creating beautiful wedding photographs for each couple I work with. I also love providing you the opportunity to relive and remember what that day means to you. Because of this, I know being a wedding photographer is what I am meant to do.

My goal is to create photos for you to remember the feeling of the day with.

I work closely with you to get a feel for your preferences. I also encourage you to ask questions. I will tell you exactly what you need to know and help you find the best answers. 

Aside from photographing weddings and teaching photography, I love creating albums for those who cherish the value of the moments to relive.
