Hey, I’m Savannah! I’ve been photographing weddings since 2016, and somewhere along the way, it became the love of my life (well, one of them). I’m all about honest storytelling—documenting the real stuff, the in-between moments, the things you didn’t even realize were happening. My style is documentary with a creative edge, and my approach is simple: get to know you, show up with intention, and create photos that feel like you. If you’re into big feelings, warm tones, and someone who will hype you up while also fixing your flyaways, we’ll get along just fine.

Awarded Best of Zola
Finding the right videographer was incredibly important to us because we wanted more than just photos. We wanted to capture the voices, the laughter, the tears, the movement—every emotion that made our day unforgettable. At first, we struggled to find a connection with the work we saw, but after months of searching online, we came across Alex V Films, and his work left a lasting impression on us. It was exactly what we had been searching for. From the moment we met Alex, his warm personality and passion for his craft put us completely at ease. He took the time to understand our vision, showing incredible attention to detail and truly listening to what we wanted. His talent for capturing not only the big moments but also those small, candid interactions brought everything to life in a way we could only dream of. Alex was able to beautifully weave our vows into the movement and storytelling of our film, bringing each word to life. In my vows, I shared a memory about my papa. As he approached his final days, I asked him, “Papa, what can you tell me about love?” He gently touched his chest and said, “You feel it in your heart.” Alex captured this moment with such care; as I spoke the words, “my papa touched his chest,” the video transitioned to my wife, sliding her hand gently down my chest, mirroring my papa’s gesture. It was as if he had breathed life into our vows, capturing not just the words, but the emotion and legacy behind them. Alex made the experience of working with him enjoyable. Throughout the process, his communication was top-notch, and professionalism shone through every step of the way. He was attentive of our needs and made the process easy. Alex didn’t just record our day—he captured its essence. Every look, every laugh, every precious detail we wanted to hold onto is now a part of a beautiful memory we’ll cherish for a lifetime. These are moments that photos alone could never fully capture; they’re filled with emotions that will be felt and connected to for years to come. At the beginning of this process, Alex was a stranger. As we got to know him we felt as though he became a friend. We’re forever grateful to have found Alex, who created more than just a video—he created a keepsake of our love and joy that we will cherish for a lifetime.

Hey there! Since you are trusting me to capture these special moments in your life, I figured you should probably know a bit about me, right? I am a Huntsville, Alabama native, but moved to Nashville after graduating from the University of Alabama in 2013. ROLL TIDE! Although I consider Nashville home, I am anything but a homebody. I love traveling and exploring new places (especially the food at those places!). I even studied abroad in Italy, which let me tell you, was a food lover's dream. I have always felt like an old soul trapped in a millennial’s body. I would rather listen to Frank Sinatra than anything on the radio today.

Fueled by equal parts sweet tea and passion, I spend my days capturing the kinds of images that make you stop, smile and ask time to please slow down. Your story, your love, is beautiful and I can't wait to capture it in images you will treasure for years to come. I believe in real moments and heartfelt conversations on the front porch. In the kinds of images that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments together.

I’ve worked with Melinda twice now. My husband and I wanted to surprise his mom with family portraits since she’s been begging for this for years. She didn’t want to be in them, but wanted all her kids and grandchildren to take photos together. She was wonderful with the kids and showed so much patience. The photos turned out beautifully! Our second session was on a cliff that we hiked a short hike to have these gorgeous photos taken on. It was the fall (right when the leaves where changing) and it was just perfect! These photos were to makeup for our wedding day photos that we didn’t get to have done because we were lead to believe that my husband’s uncle would be taking them for us, which really didn’t happen as planned. We told Melinda what type of backdrop we wanted and she hit the nail on the head with the location she chose for us. She worked with our tough schedule and showed up on time. We didn’t know anything about posing for photos and wanted them to look very natural, she told us where to move, stand, etc. and the photos turned out just perfect! We had so many compliments on them! I’m a bit nervous when people “stare” at me. Makes me feel weird but I didn’t feel that way with her, she honestly made us feel so very comfortable. I didn’t feel as if she was judging me and she didn’t make me feel like I was doing everything wrong. She was so very patient. She’d ask if she could touch my arm to move me, she’d say can I move this strand of hair hanging in front of your face, and etc. she was just very helpful all around. My husband at the time had a mole on his head, he was very self conscious about it. He asked her to remove it if she could from any photos it shows in and she did exactly that and you could never even tell it was there! When we need photos again we will definitely work with her. She’s such a blessing to work with. Melinda is very reliable, professional, down to earth, knowledgeable, punctual, patient, and friendly!

Hi! I'm Brooklyn - the owner! I'm 23 years old & happily married to my best friend, Michael. Traveling is a huge part of our lives, WDW is our happy place, & our next adventure is never far away. When I'm not at a wedding, you can find me in the flower shop or doing some *light* retail therapy. I recently graduated from KSU with a B.S. in Hospitality & Event Management. I have had the opportunity to work with some amazing couples & vendors in several states. I even spent time in FL working closely with one of the world's leading entertainment companies bringing hundreds of fairytale weddings & events to life. Now, I'm making magic of my own!

When you think of your wedding, all you can hope for is nothing will go wrong, and if it does, it will be small. When you hire Brooklyn from Brooklyn Rain brides, you can rest assured that your day will be utter perfection. throughout the wedding planning process, Brooklyn was always there for me to reach out to and ask questions and give her professional suggestions. She is beyond wise for her years and knows everything a bride could ask in hand already. Even with me being in the industry Brooklyn would ask me questions leading up to the big day I didn't even know I had, she made sure I knew when and how to get my marriage license and took care of sending it back to the clerk for us. She handled getting the rings to the correct bridal party members and made sure to grab our vow books before the ceremony so we didn't have to remember them. My guests came to me after the ceremony and said it was the best ceremony they had ever seen and I couldnt agree more it had so much emotion, romance and pure magic sprinkled in and brooklyn was incredibly calm collected and well spoken capturing my husband and Is love story perfectly. I cannot recommend her services enough, not only can she officiate the most romantic ceremony ever She is also an incredible wedding coordinator and will make sure your wedding runs smoothly allowing you to have a stress free wedding day! I literally didn't have to handle a single thing on my wedding day because she was there to handle it all. She made all the difference plus she continued to come and check in in me to see how I was doing throughout the getting ready process and has the calmest nature helping me to feel ready before I walked down the aisle. not only did she handle coordination and officiating the wedding she sprinkled in some extra magic by taking some gorgeous photos throughout the day and sent them to me the morning after the wedding so I would have a little something until my professional photos arrived! I am so utterly grateful to Brooklyn for making the best day of my life utterly perfect. She may be based in Ohio, however, my wedding was in Michigan-she has traveled all over the United States to work weddings and is so worth it, so feel free to inquire about out of state travel. Anyone who is engaged, I can't say it enough, you need a Brooklyn to help guide you in your wedding planning!

Lux Lineage Floral Design was an exceptional choice for our wedding florals! Their communication throughout the planning process was timely, frequent, and transparent, which made it easy for us to feel confident in their ability to execute our vision. The quality of their work was truly exceptional - the florals were detailed, beautiful, and incredibly creative. With little direction, they were able to bring our vision for our ceremony and reception to life in a way that exceeded our expectations - that spray was amazing and the centerpieces were perfection! Liz and Cinda are so sweet and kind that they personally delivered my bouquet in the bridal suite. This little touch was so special to me and helped put me even more at ease on my wedding day! This dynamic duo even took the time to sign our guest book, which was so special to us!

Golden Hour Images was the perfect choice for our engagement photography. From our first interaction, their communication was effective, kind, fast, and easygoing. The quality of their work was amazing, with beautiful, high-quality photos that perfectly captured all the special moments of our day. They made our engagement pictures so special and fun, even incorporating our camping-themed shoot and being so patient with us and our dog. We couldn't have asked for a better photography team to document our engagement , and we're thrilled with the results.

I used to produce and plan tens of weddings in downtown West Palm at a 4-5 star venue. During covid-19 I developed my videography skills alongside fitness influencers and branding and brought my new skillset into the wedding industry and have shot my handful of weddings. A little about me: I am a Tampa Bay grown, soflo living videographer, a master's student in mental health, hold a BA in media from PBAU, and surf in my free time. I love God, people, family and friends above all.

Joel was extremely responsive from the first contact to the last. He was on time, prepared, and took over a thousand photos and promptly forwarded us the raws. We had the edits in a few more weeks -- more of them than he promised -- and they are beautiful. He did a great job composing the photos, capturing them, and post-processing them. I recommend him without reservation, he was great!

Taylor Pressley Artistry was amazing to work with for my wedding day! They responded quickly to all of my inquiries and were so accommodating when I had to change my contract a time or two due to the high demand for their services. On the day of, Taylor and her team did a fantastic job on my hair and makeup, as well as that of my bridesmaids and the mothers of the bride and groom. My hair and makeup stayed flawless all day, even through happy tears! Taylor went above and beyond, offering to redo my trial style if I wasn't fully satisfied. I would highly recommend Taylor Pressley Artistry to any bride looking for hair and beauty perfection on their special day.
