Next Steps
Weddings, Engagements & Proposals
Color, connection, intentional details, and the moments you couldn’t plan if you tried.
These are a few of the celebrations that remind me why I love what I do.
A Private Estate Wedding in Chattanooga
An Elegant Chattanooga Celebration
A private estate, beautiful surroundings, and a wedding day designed around the people who mattered most. This celebration is a look at the kind of wedding photography I love: elegant without feeling stiff, colorful without feeling trendy, and full of photographs that let you remember not just what the day looked like, but what it felt like.
Biltmore Engagement Session
An Editorial Engagement Experience
An engagement session at Biltmore is already a beautiful setting, but the goal was to create photographs that felt personal rather than simply photographing the scenery. Thoughtful portraits, genuine connection, and a little editorial flair came together for an engagement experience that gave the couple beautiful images while helping them feel completely comfortable in front of the camera.
Cherokee Country Club
A Classic Knoxville Wedding With a Party in Mind
At Cherokee Country Club in Knoxville, this couple knew exactly what they wanted their reception to feel like: a party.
The ballroom was intentionally set up with cocktail tables and fewer chairs, heavy hors d’oeuvres kept guests moving, and the dance floor stayed busy all night. The wedding itself was relaxed and beautiful. Their first look took place in front of the French country-inspired club, while their dog, Kahki, made appearances throughout getting ready and portraits.
Telling stories of life and love
“Nelya made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and her style of photos is not only beautiful but also timeless.
I had already narrowed down to my final 2 photographers to book, however as soon as I saw Nelya’s gallery I knew I wanted her to do my pictures – I was so happy I found her and boy did she deliver!
You can tell she cares and puts a lot of time and effort into each couple she works with.
I am so happy to have these beautiful images that capture more than image but emotion and feelings for the rest of my life.”
my photographs turned out to be everything I wanted and more!! !!
