Hi there! I’m Emma CotéEwers, your East Coast & Destination Wedding and Lifestyle Photographer! My work is a seamless blend of traditional heirloom portraiture, lively artistic shots, and a little ​photojournalism if the day calls for it. With a true-to-color, film-inspired approach, I strive to craft visuals that capture love, ​laughter, and those beautifully authentic moments that weave together the story of your ​wedding! I feel like these should include fun ​facts? Patsy Cline’s Walkin’ After Midnight is my favorite song and I am currently on my 8th ​nostalgic binge of Gilmore Girls (which might just be fueling my banter lately).

Emma is literally the kindest soul you’ll ever meet and my pictures came out so well! I’m plus size girls, so I felt very nervous about getting my pictures taken. She made me feel so confident and so loved in such a small amount of time. The photos are breathtaking and she is willing to do anything to get the perfect shot! You need her if you want the best photos!!

For as long as I can remember I have always loved to create. My passion for photography started when I was a teen. As I honed in on my craft I began to photograph on a more professional level right out of high school, but stepped away for academic pursuits. After completing both a bachelors and master's degree in Anthropology, I came full circle, determining that a career in doing something creative was where my heart lies. Whether it is your wedding, or any other special moment in your life, I cherish the opportunity to document it in a way that highlights the artistic elements, while still capturing an authenticness that is uniquely you.

Awarded Best of Zola
Alyssa Marie Photography was a fantastic choice for our wedding photographer. From the very beginning, their communication was excellent - they were always prompt in responding to our questions and followed up to ensure we were on the same page. On the day of the wedding, Alyssa was a pleasure to work with, guiding us into the perfect poses and capturing beautiful, natural shots that truly reflected the joy of our special day. The final photos were of incredible quality, with beautiful editing that made every moment shine. Alyssa and her team were thorough in getting all the shots we requested, and we couldn't be happier with the beautiful memories they've preserved for us. We highly recommend Alyssa Marie Photography to any couple looking for an experienced, talented, and personable wedding photographer.

Madison Miles is a sincere photographer that adores documenting weddings of all kinds. She creates honest and timeless images that make your love story feel like a work of fine art. Madison specializes in capturing artistic portraits paired with unique storytelling moments to produce natural, emotional wedding and portrait photography. Serving East Tennessee and the surrounding areas, she is also available for travel worldwide. Known for her cinematic and timeless photographic aesthetic, Madison is passionate about capturing authentic and intentional moments.

Everything about working with Madison was perfect. When I was looking for photographers, her photos stuck out to me because of the way she uses lighting and filters to create a mood. Even knowing that, her photos of our wedding exceeded my expectations. Our courthouse wedding was on a 20 degree, gray day during the first snow of the winter. Madison found so many great spots downtown to capture the essence of our moody, winter elopement and she was an absolute joy to work with. Neither my partner or I have had professional photos taken, so we weren’t really sure what to expect, but she took the lead and made us feel confident so we could focus on enjoying the moment with each other while she directed the shoot. I would highly recommend her for her stunning photography (obviously) and also for a fun & professional photographer who knows her craft.

Whether it’s a courthouse ceremony or a handfasting in the woods, I focus on the details and emotions that make your day truly yours. Let’s turn your love story into art.

Our elopement photos by From GA with Love are absolutely magical. They didn’t just capture the obvious moments but found the heart in every little detail of our day. One of our favorite shots is of the winding dirt road we drove down at sunrise, with the mist clinging to the trees—it feels like the start of our own fairy tale. Another incredible image is of us exchanging our vows on a quiet riverbank, with a heron landing in the background as if nature itself was blessing our ceremony. Even the candid photo of us laughing together while struggling to light our unity candle in the breeze is now one of our most cherished memories. Their ability to honor the intimacy and uniqueness of our day made our gallery feel deeply personal and full of love. The best part was the inclusion of our kid, who got to feel like a part of the day. If you want a photographer who can make your story feel as epic and authentic as it deserves, they are the one.

We feel so lucky to have found Andrew as our wedding photographer. He has an incredible eye for the editorial style and makes his photos into works of art with golden light and chiaroscuro. So many photographers just rely on their high-res equipment but don't offer anything more--I don't want a macro shot of every pore or line on my face like an owl in a tree at 100 yards, I want to have a sense of magic and beauty in every photo. Andrew actually does that. I almost cried when I saw our first look photos because I don't feel very confident being photographed and I finally had dozens of photos of myself and my husband that I want to share with friends immediately and cherish forever. He delivered the first look so fast, even though I know he was busy working another wedding; I thought for sure we would have to wait longer. The wedding package we chose included very nice touches like polaroids so we had something in hand at the end of the wedding day itself, too. It was very thoughtful and left us feeling good about the whole experience right away. He was very personal and nice to work with, but not intrusive, and went with the little schedule changes we had, and was open to suggestions while we took post-ceremony photos around the city. I couldn't be happier with our experience with him and would recommend him highly to anyone looking for a real artist for their wedding photography.

I’ve always loved photography. Yet, it wasn’t until 2008 when I began to travel internationally for work that decided to bring my Nikon D750. I was amazed when I returned home with the images to experience the magic I captured through my lens. My passion for photography was launched on the streets of Madrid, Rome, Amsterdam and Istanbul. While travel photography captivated me for several years, wedding and family photography snuck in and stole my heart. Swimming deeply in God’s grace, I believe my purpose with my talent is simple.

I fell in love with photography at a young age, while rummaging through boxes of family photographs. My favorite pictures were always the ones that felt as though you had been transported in time- a little blurry, but a lot of emotion.

If you’re looking for a kind, professional, and talented photographer then look no further, Audrey is the one for you!! She was punctual, had so many ideas for cute shots, and made sure she took time to find out what kind of pictures my now-husband and I wanted. And the photos I received left me speechless! They are stunning, and the editing is incredible. She got so many cute candid moments along with formal portraits from every angle. Audrey was the best photographer we could have asked for on our special day!

A Charleston Wedding Photographer with a fierce love for storytelling, fostering memories and capturing those moments that you will want to treasure forever. I get to tell your story. And, I think that’s pretty cool. I love traveling everywhere and anywhere, talking with my hands, buying plants (and attempting to keep them alive), and spending as much time as I can with my loved ones. I have lived in Boston, Paris, and New York City, and am now lucky enough to call Charleston home, while also still traveling the world for my clients. You can usually find me on my back porch in downtown Charleston, right next to my favorite little park.

tldr: Jessica is amazing and I don’t think you can go wrong with her if this is the style of photos you like I had a lot of difficulty picking a photographer as I’m pretty picky with photos. I knew I wanted something bright and light, with kind of a whimsical or ethereal vibe, but it was really hard finding the style until I came across the “fine art” style. Jessica’s name came up while researching this style and I decided to reach out to her among a few other fine art photographers. I definitely hoped talks would go well with Jessica as the others I contacted ended up either not responding or were wildly out of my budget. Pre-Planning: Jessica was wonderful throughout this process. She promptly responded to my emails and answered questions clearly. I never felt like I was left in the dark for any part of the process. When I sent her the timeline of the ceremony/reception, she quickly came up with a timeline to slot in all the photos to be taken ahead of time at the location (We had access to the venue for a little over an hour prior to the ceremony). She also asked for a list of family photos that we wanted to take. This made it very easy at the wedding as she could call out people’s name to make sure everyone that was supposed to be in the pictures, were in the pictures. Jessica also sent over a list of ideas for detail shots and explained she could do this ahead of time. We didn’t want extra pictures of these and decided against it, however, I still thought it was very thoughtful of her to offer. Wedding Day: I loved her energy at the wedding. She was very calm and felt very competent. She directed my husband and I throughout the pictures, showing us poses etc. During family and wedding party photos, even though we had many bodies to fit in the frame in quite a few pictures, she led us through them with ease and the entire experience was very stress free (or as stress free as can be at a wedding lol). The venue was quite dim at specific locations, but the final results did not reflect that at all. The pictures were bright and did not look like they were taken in the dark at all. (This is a little off topic but I loved the little apron with pockets she wore for her equipment. So cute) I’m not sure when Jessica had the time, but there were pictures around the venue which were so beautiful. I definitely feel like the day was captured through the pictures. Post Wedding: Jessica sent us a sneak peak 2 days after the wedding containing 23 pictures. They turned out great and were beautiful. You can see examples on her website so I won’t elaborate, but they really are that good. The full gallery was sent almost a month after the wedding (minus 2 days) with instructions on purchasing prints or an album attached. The full download contained 650ish files, including the sneak peek pictures. Half of which were black and white, so this matched up pretty perfectly with Jessica’s estimation of the amount of photos when we spoke in the pre-planning stage.

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Watauga, TN for additional fees

I’ve been a photographer for over 15 years. My journey started at Mississippi School of the Arts where I first saw the magic of a photo develop in a darkroom! I have a bachelor's degree in Photojournalism from Southern Miss and worked as a professional marketing photographer for 6 years before moving on full-time to wedding photography. That important step has proven fruitful as my passion for capturing real moments has been fulfilled by capturing the magic of loving couples. Now after 2 years of booking my calendar up and meeting with beautiful people from all over the southeast, I can reliably say my expertise is serving a higher purpose.

April was so easy to work with! My wife and I had a short engagement so we had to find vendors fast. April was super accommodating and able to work with us through all the steps of engagement and the wedding. She’s professional, timely, understanding, and incredibly friendly. I would recommend her without reservation!

I’m a  fun, passionate, experienced professional photographer based in East Tennessee! I’ve lived here my whole life and I have grown to love my Great Smoky Mountains, but I love to travel and always look forward to new adventures! Photography truly is my passion. It’s the gravity that holds my world together and without it I’m not really sure where I’d be.  It allows me to connect with people and serve them in my favorite way possible. Photography lets me step into moments of time to capture and stop them forever. I believe photos are one of the most important things we can have, because one day they might be all we have.

Jessi did an amazing job on all of the galleries she did for us! The coloring was different in each gallery but they were each absolutely gorgeous and they embodied my husband and I’s personalities. She has an amazing way of making you and your significant other comfortable in front of the camera and after one shoot you will want her to be your best friend! Jessi is fun and adventurous (she did a shoot with us under a waterfall and wow it was so good). She is additionally amazing on the business side when it comes to professionalism with difficult clients, punctuality, communication, etc. We highly recommend her!
