I am a published photographer located in the beautiful state of Tennessee. I am a mama to two fascinating, wild little girls and I have a passion for running around, breathing in life. Photography has been a life long passion of mine; I can remember being a small child running around with disposable cameras trying to capture everything in site. Now, as an adult, photography is my way of making permanent what I, and others, hold close. I love tattoos, am romance book obsessed (honestly this career could not have been better picked) and hope to one day go sky diving! Now that you know a bit about me, I can't wait to learn about you!

From the moment we booked Beautiful Images by Toni, their communication was fast, helpful, and responsive. Toni's unique, creative, and fun style captured the excitement of our special day perfectly. She was there to help wherever she could, making everything feel seamless and just right. We are thrilled with the beautiful photos that will allow us to relive our wedding day for years to come. Toni and her team truly went above and beyond to make our day unforgettable.

jB JAMS excells in providing romantic, personal, fun and memorable wedding celebrations with your wishes in mind! We will work together to create your ULTIMATE wedding day using your wishes and visions combined with our extensive wedding experience!

I was the bride that wanted to cut corners and do it myself. I am so glad my father booked Sue even though I protested. Upon our first meeting, I realized what all goes into a wedding MC and DJ and that I would NOT have been able to do it myself. Sue saw I didn't have a clue and effortlessly took over the reigns and the pressure from my shoulders. jB Jams has received many awards in their field and there is a reason, they are professional, catering, and have great relations with the venues in our area, which is a huge help. Sue was very familiar with my venue and my wedding coordinator and they were able to work together easily and saved me so much hassle. Sue sent me a survey to complete and in turn used those answers to totally cater the wedding to us and our love story. I was adamant I did not want a typical, cheesy, cringey, boring wedding and Sue delivered! From helping us with the processional, to the announcements, the games, and the music-my 28 person wedding (Covid!) was my total dream wedding and she is a big reason for that. Sue really gave us special attention and care, by the end she felt like family! All my guests (including some wedding crashers) loved our wedding and raved about it. My family looks forward to working with jB Jams again the next time we have an event. Book 'em! The best money you will spend on your wedding.

Some fun facts about me are: I have 2 cats (Milo and Kiro) and 1 dog (Rory), My goal is to visit every state and continent before I turn 40, I'm a certified Swiftie, and Reality TV and chocolate are my guilty pleasures. Most likely to be seen carrying a binder and crying at first looks and vows.

I cannot say thank you enough to Steph! She was absolutely amazing. She was so committed to learning what aspects of the wedding were most important to us and making sure they happened on the day of. For example, we were getting caught up in the dancing and were going to skip the cake cutting. She didn’t push, she just asked, “Are you sure? You told me that this was something that was important to you, so I just want to check”. And I’m so thankful she did that, because it’s one of my favorite wedding moments! She went absolutely above and beyond for us. I am currently in medical school and was so stressed leading up to the wedding, but Steph made me feel like it was possible. She was so organized and wrote out every detail we discussed. She went out of her way to suggest some vendors we were struggling to book last minute, and the list goes on. I cannot recommend Steph enough. She is wonderful and sweet and kind and I cannot believe I found her! We could not have done it without her.

I’m a mother to an adventurous little boy, a personable little girl, and wife to an amazing man! Loving these three in my life started my venture in stumbling across photography. I’ve always been fascinated by it, and found myself studying it in many forms. It didn’t take long to realize this profession would allow me to be myself: passionate, fun, and bold! I came to a crossroad after my son was born of whether I should return to work or pursue my passion with photography. Let’s just say I took a jump and went into business around 2012. It’s been a daring journey with the most awesome clients ever!

I capture the moments most important to people in love. It is actually that simple. It is also where my agenda starts and ends. Nothing more, nothing less. I grew up in Southern California in a family of 4 children. There was not a single important moment in our childhood that was not captured on camera or video. At the time, it seemed like a nuisance, but now I am so grateful that my father saw how precious all of those moments were. Looking back at those videos, hearing our laughter, and looking at our smiles is priceless to me. I know this is where my deep passion for creating keepsake moments on film began.

Jennifer was incredible from the start. She was so helpful and accommodating on top of being extremely communicative before wedding day. On wedding day she was such a huge help and was so kind.

I love picking up my camera everyday and never knowing what the world is going to bring my way. With over 20 years of photography experience, I want to approach every wedding in a fresh way that reflects the unique aspects of the couple’s relationship and individual personalities. I try to naturally capture who my couples are with an artistic flare; letting the real moments they share during their wedding and engagements shine. That way, when they look at their photos years down the line it’ll be like it was just yesterday.

Dustin is an absolute dream to work with! He was BY FAR the most professional and responsive wedding vendor we experienced in our entire planning process. We had to reschedule our engagement shoot (due to COVID restrictions), and Dustin went above and beyond to pull some strings to make it all come together for us. On the actual day of the shoot, I was really nervous about looking nice and coming up with unique ideas to make the photos look special. It is so much pressure! Dustin immediately put my mind at ease, asked a few questions, and knew exactly what we were looking for. He proceeded to take the lead and capture the most beautiful, creative photos of us. They came out better than we could have ever imagined!! So grateful to Dustin for this wonderful, stress-free experience and gorgeous memories we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

Not a single person was sitting at the tables while the Dickens were on the stage. They were very interactive with the crowd and even let the groom (a guitar player) get up there and jam out with them. This was such a fun addition to the wedding and we loved every minute of it!

We absolutely couldn't be happier with our choice of wedding bands. From start to finish, they were phenomenal! Their professionalism was evident in every interaction. Planning a wedding was difficult. Matt made planning the music easy. Communication was quick and clear, every single time. This band is a true professional team. On our wedding day, they arrived early, set up quickly, and were ready to go. We had plenty of day-of problems. Our dressing rooms weren't unlocked. The cake was an hour late. Two groomsmen had suits that didn't fit. Hair was 45 minutes late. If Jeremy & Matt had issues, we never knew about it. We are so grateful. The moment they began playing, the atmosphere was transformed. Their ability to read the crowd and keep the energy as the night moved forward. Jackie, their female vocalist, had a powerful voice that captivated every guest from song one. Their lively and engaging performance had everyone on their feet, dancing and singing along. Each band member is exceptionally talented. They even took the time to learn and perfectly execute our special song request, which made our first dance unforgettable. Guests are still raving about the band and how much fun they had. If you're looking for a wedding band that will elevate your special day and leave a lasting impression, look no further. This group is simply outstanding and worth every penny. They create a harmonious and vibrant sound and are truly impressive.

On the big day, Kiersten was a true pro—capturing all the special moments without being intrusive. She managed to blend into the background while still getting all the key shots we wanted. The candid shots really stood out. The final photos blew us away. The quality and creativity were top-notch, and we received countless compliments from our friends and family. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who delivers stunning results and makes the process enjoyable, Kiersten is your person. You won’t regret it!

Y'all... I don't even know what to say about how much I love Laura and her husband, Drew. Not only did they capture our wedding day brilliantly, their presence actually made the day even better! Laura is exceptionally great to work with. Her paperwork is easy and prompt, she responds to emails quickly, and will even set up a virtual call to discuss whatever you would like. Her prices are fair for the amount of photos you receive and the quality of her work and service. Laura did our engagement photos and wedding photos. Scheduling our engagement session was easy and stress free (as was the wedding, but you probably already guessed that!). We met her in Miami since she was down there anyway. Laura was down for an adventure so we went to a botanical garden where we got eaten by mosquitos but Laura was positive and having fun the whole time. The photos are GORGEOUS and we used them for all of our wedding materials and website. We have gotten so many compliments on all of our photos! Laura and Drew arrived a day in advance of our wedding and let us know when they arrived so we had peace of mind. They were on time to our wedding (if not early) and stayed until they were contracted to leave, not a minute early. They were having so much fun at our wedding and captured so many amazing moments. As a note, they are super fun but also take their work very seriously and were busting their butts the whole day to make sure they caught every precious moment. Laura and Drew made us feel so comfortable. They are hilarious and go-with-the-flow but also make sure they stick to the timeline and are diligent about getting every picture you want. They arranged all of our bridal party and family photos, making sure they all looked good. Laura and Drew are also very sensitive to family matters. We have some complicated family dynamics and they handled them like champions, making sure our day was stress free. It is clear that Laura and Drew are committed to making sure the couple has a wonderful stress-free day. Laura carried around my extra makeup all day so I could blot my face and I'm pretty sure Drew served us drinks at one point because we were thirsty taking pictures. All of our friends are obsessed with Laura and Drew - we still talk about how much we love them several months later - because they are actually that wonderful. Laura and Drew are EXTREMELY inclusive. We are a same-sex couple and were so comfortable with them. All of their paperwork is gender neutral, which is not something I can say for our other vendors (no shade, it's just the truth) and it was sincerely appreciated. Some of our friends use they-them pronouns and Laura was sure to get this information in advance so she could make sure to call everyone what they prefer. We received a surprisingly large sneak peak of photos the day after our wedding. All of our friends and family were shocked at how quickly we got all those photos, but it's because Laura is an editing machine. We got all our other photos back well within the timeframe provided. There are literally hundreds of photos and every single one is perfection. Laura even did a little bit of photoshopping that I requested, which I really appreciated. Long story short, look no further for the wedding (or other event!) photographer of your dreams. Laura and Drew are truly one of a kind (well, two of a kind) and they will make your wedding day exceptional! I wish I could get married again so I can hang out with them more.

I could not recommend Andrea more highly! Not only is she an overall amazing human but she gave us the gift of the best wedding photos we could have imagined! She was extremely professional, worked with us all the way throughout the process and the results were better than we could have imagined. We couldn’t pick just *one* favorite photo. Her artistic eye and professionalism is unmatched, and I would highly recommend her for ANY event you need photos! We absolutely love her and her photos have helped create our wedding memories for a lifetime! Thank you Andrea!!!!!

My name is Giovanna (you can call me Gio!) and I'm a traveling wedding photographer based in North Carolina. I've photographed everywhere from the DMV, NYC, Colorado, Hawaii, Spain to tons of other locations. Having a background in photojournalism, I photograph with a documentary approach which allows an organic and authentic feel to shine through my images. If you value emotion, connection, and creative storytelling, then I'm your girl. I was born in the bustling city of NY and later moved to a horse farm in NC. I was constantly amazed by my ever changing environments and inspired to capture moments that would otherwise be lost in memory.

Gio is INSANELY talented. I’ve worked with her for several life events, the biggest and most important investment being our wedding. Gio is professional and organized, a dream for any bride to work with. She has a gift for making you comfortable in front of the camera and provides expert guidance that makes shooting with her feel effortless. Her passion for her craft is palpable, and you know it’s good when she turns the camera around and says “YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS!” Every album I’ve received is a breathtakingly beautiful, cinematic keepsake of the most special moments. Her work is literal ART. I’ll never forget the emotional experience of receiving our wedding album - we literally laughed and cried for hours. Every detail and moment is so intentionally and artfully captured. It’s been two years and I still swoon over our wedding photos. I’ve had several (also obsessed) friends inquire about our wedding photography and even book their weddings with Gio. She is easily one of the best investments I made for my wedding day and I can’t say enough positive things. As a repeat client, I so look forward to working with her again in the future. No question - book with Gio!

AMANDA. ARTIST. EXPLORER. COFFEE DRINKER. TIME MACHINE. So you just got engaged and you need a photographer. Documenting all that love is a wonderful gift for yourself and everyone who loves you. My superpower is being able to see your beauty the way the people who love you do, and then capture it in awesome photos of you so that you can see it too. And there’s no awkward posing or fake smiles involved. Just goofy fun and bad jokes, and you being yourself. So come see the world through my eyes. And maybe you’ll decide you’d like to see yourself through my eyes, to see yourself the way the folks who love you see you.

In a word, Amanda is extraordinary. In more words, Amanda was the best vendor decision for our wedding day. I'm a photographer, my now-husband is a videographer, and while we do not do weddings ourselves, we have both worked our fair share of them in the past, so we had a few ideas of what we were (and were not) looking for in a photographer. We could not have possibly had a better experience than we did with Amanda. On our wedding day, I forgot that I was a photographer. I knew every detail was left in her capable hands and I was able to relax and not worry about our photos even once. Meeting Amanda the first time was what solidified our choice in photographer. We already loved her portfolio of work. We already knew we'd love the photos, but meeting her in person solidified that she was the right fit for us. People don't often think about "fit" when it comes to a photographer, but it's so important. Amanda made us feel relaxed and at ease in front of the camera (that's not easy when you're always the one behind the lens), and we knew that she would be able to handle all sorts of personality types in our families and friends. Our wedding day images are thoughtful and artful and surpassed our already-high expectations. Our day was perfectly documented, and when you look at the gallery, it tells you a story - our story. Every time I look at our photos I am taken back into those moments, which is exactly what a good photo should do. I could go on and on (and on), but you get the point. Amanda's an artist and a professional and went the extra mile to make our photographs memorable and authentic, and our wedding day photography stress-free and easy. I simply cannot recommend her enough.

The day that you exchange vows with the love of your life should one filled with peace, love, pure bliss...and a whole lot of fun! My job doesn't stop at creating timeless photos for you, it extends to offering you a sense of peace and showing you that a wedding/elopement day doesn't have to be stressful. Photography began as a passion for me and I make sure to hold on tight on to that and bring that passion into every event, every couple I photograph.

Having Kalypso on our team as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! My husband is historically not the best at genuine looking forced smiles, yet our wedding pictures all turned out so well! Yes, he was very happy on our wedding day, but in the moment when you tell him to pose, it usually doesn't go so well. Kalypso has all sort of tricks up her sleeve to fix this, and she is such a joyous ball of energy that she has us legitimately laughing and smiling the entire time anyways. She was so easy to coordinate with, and her communication and promptness are on point. On to the most important part though - the pictures! They are AMAZING!! They perfectly capture the best day of our lives and work in all the little details so well. We are having a hard time figuring out what to frame where in our house - there are that many PERFECT pictures. It was Kalypso's first day shooting a wedding at our specific venue, and you would would think it was her own house based on how well she captured it all and worked so well in the space. I will certainly be trying to work with her for future life photoshoots and recommending her to all my friends!
