What you’ll gain isn’t just a gallery of images, but a reflection of how your day felt. Art that’s honest, personal, and full of life.

"She captured us so naturally & candidly."
Kind words
Wow. I can't recommend Cayla enough. I hate getting my photo taken but my husband LOVES photos so for his birthday I agreed to do a couples session with Cayla. She was INCREDIBLE. She made us both feel so comfortable and at ease. She had us laughing and she captured us so naturally and candidly. The locations she chose were stunning. We love our pictures so much and it was such a fun memory.

"She was absolutely phenomenal."
Kind words
My husband and I had our elopement done by Cayla and she was absolutely phenomenal. Her communication was prompt and she was extremely easy going. She went out of her way to meet me at the site a week prior to look around the location for good photo spots. The day of the event, she made us both feel relaxed and comfortable resulting in amazing photos that really captured who we are. Highly recommend.

"She will always be our first choice."
Kind words
My husband and I have done numerous photoshoots and Cayla's were hands down our favorites. It is hard to find a photographer who makes you feel so comfortable to be 100% you during pictures and she did such an incredible job! She is beyond talented and she has photographed so many of our life moments- including her flying to VA just to shoot our gender reveal and a daddy&me session. She will always be our first choice!

"Every shot was filled with emotion."
Kind words
If you’re searching for a talented photographer who can transform moments into masterpieces, Cayla is the one to work with. She’s made every one of our shoots memorable and fun and makes you feel comfortable and confident.
The images? Breathtaking. Every shot was filled with emotion, rich in color, and beautifully framed, showcasing Cayla’s exceptional talent. Whether capturing candid laughter, elegant portraits, or stunning landscapes, her work speaks volumes about her dedication and artistry.

"Cayla made us feel calm & natural."
Kind words
We chose Cayla for her laid back style and ability to capture the rawness and genuine moments in a natural space. We were awkwardly laughing off the nervousness of not being sure what we wanted in our photos at first, but by the end of our session, it felt calm and natural... She was willing to navigate new ways to get photos of us in a space she had never shot in before to give us the perfect photos to hold onto forever.
- Alexis & aaron
"She made our dream for our pictures come true."
Kind words
I cannot recommend and rave about Cayla enough to anyone and everyone. She truly is a master behind the camera and has a work of art with her photos and I am so so happy that I was able to find her and have her be part of some of our big moments.
Definitely. You’ll get timeline guidance, location ideas, tips for the best lighting, and personalized recommendations. All based on what matters most to you.
Do you help with planning?
A mix of documentary and gentle direction. I step in when you need me and fall back when you don't. The goal is for you to feel fully present while I quietly catch everything happening around you.
What’s your approach on the wedding day?
Usually we roll with it. And sometimes it turns out even better. Moody clouds, soft rain, dramatic skies… I can work with all of it. And if we need a plan B, we'll make sure that's lined up beforehand.
What if the weather is bad?
Every wedding is different, so yes. We can tailor coverage, add-ons, and details to fit your day and your priorities.
What if I want to customize my package?
Honest, natural, and story-driven. I guide gently when needed, but the best moments usually happen when you forget the camera is there.
What’s your shooting style?
I don’t put a cap on the moments. Weddings average between 500–1200+ images depending on the length of coverage. Couples sessions usually land around 100–200. If it’s a good photo, you'll get it.
How many photos will we receive?
Yes! Whether it’s across Tennessee or across the country, I’m in. Just tell me where we’re going and I’ll build a custom travel quote with no surprises.
Do you travel for weddings or sessions?
You'll get a preview gallery within 72 hours (because waiting is torture), and your full gallery within 4-6 weeks.
What's your turnaround time?
We’ll figure it out together. Once I learn your vision, timeline, and priorities, I’ll recommend coverage that fits your day (not the other way around.)
How do we know how many hours of coverage we need?
FAQ
As a destination and Tennessee wedding photographer, I take on a limited number of weddings each year so every couple can receive the experience they deserve. Space to breathe. Room to be present. Support that feels natural.
If you feel drawn to images that feel intentional and honest, I’d love to hear your story.
