Mekennah Ward | Owner

Capturing love stories in Nashville or wherever you are. Hi, I'm Mekennah! Based in Nashville, I've been passionately capturing cherished moments for over a decade. Specializing in luxury wedding photography, I bring an editorial, photojournalistic, and candid approach to each event, ensuring every shot tells a unique story. With a keen eye for detail and a passion for authentic moments, I create timeless, stunning images that couples will treasure for a lifetime.

What sets me apart is my ability to make the process feel effortless for my clients. Many of my couples are amazed at how natural and comfortable they feel during our sessions, resulting in photos that feel timeless and they love. As a photographer, I immerse myself in the environment, observing, mingling, and seamlessly blending into the background. My unobtrusive approach allows me to document genuine moments as they unfold. My dedication to capturing genuine emotions ensures that your wedding photos will become heirlooms for you and your forever.

  • Mekennah is INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!

    Mekennah is absolutely incredible!! She’s one of the most thoughtful and kind human beings I’ve ever met on top of being an absolutely incredible photographer. We were lucky enough to have her with us at our wedding in Bali and could not have asked for a better experience! Our photos are absolutely beautiful! Definitely recommend her if you’re looking for someone local or someone for your destination wedding.

    Mekennah was so truly so lovely to work with from start to finish. She was flexible and laid back but still delivered incredible memories. We love our photos and the wedding book she created for us!
