Chattanooga Wedding Photography Resources

As a wedding photographer in Chattanooga for over 10 years my approach is to help you plan and match make you with trusted vendors who are going to do the job like it was their own wedding day.

Wedding Day Timeline

This is probably one of the hardest parts for couples, figuring out how much time is needed to get great photos of each part of the day. I have made a wedding day timeline resource for you!

Why choose a First Look

Here in the south, especially Chattanooga areas it is very popular to do all the formal photos before the ceremony and go straight to the cocktail hour and reception to see all the guests. How Does it work?

Engagement sessions

The engagement session is great and results in getting comfortable in front of the camera before your wedding day. This ensures, you are not meeting a stranger on the wedding day. And added bonus, you get Chattanooga engagement photo!

Chattanooga photographers F.A.Q.

How many Photographers will be at our wedding?

I’ve been a wedding photographer in Chattanooga for over 10 years and most weddings have two Chattanooga photographers.

How many hours of photography coverage do you recommend?

I typically recommend at the very minimum 4 hours coverage for a wedding day

Do you offer engagement sessions?

Yes, these are scheduled to take place in time to use with Save-the-dates. Or any time leading up to the wedding.

Is a Chattanooga wedding photographer worth it?

When a couple receives their wedding album in hand they will emphatically tell me the parts of the day they remember most are the parts of the day they have photographs of.
