We’re Andy and Tessa—husband and wife, parents, and best friends—born and raised in East Tennessee. The Blue Ridge and Appalachian Mountains are more than just a backdrop to us; they’re home. For over a decade, we’ve been photographing East Tennessee weddings, elopements, and families, documenting love stories and life’s most meaningful milestones in the places that matter most.
Our approach to photography is rooted in true storytelling. As East Tennessee wedding and elopement photographers, we focus less on stiff poses and forced smiles and more on real moments—movement, emotion, laughter, and connection. Think of it as a documentary of your life, captured honestly and artfully.
Whether you’re planning an intimate mountain elopement, a full wedding day surrounded by family, welcoming a newborn, or celebrating another year together, we believe your story deserves to be told exactly as it unfolds. Nothing brings us more joy than preserving authentic memories for couples and families across East Tennessee and Southwest Virginia—moments you’ll feel every time you look back at your photos.

The meet cute
In 2018 a boy saw a photo of a girl on Instagram. He decided to shoot his shot. One date turned into two, then three. Before the boy knew it, the girl was moving her things into his apartment, little by little.
Some things just come naturally.
the Engagement
Not long after meeting, the boy and girl took a whirlwind trip to Iceland. The boy waited days for the perfect moment.
Hidden behind the veil of a secret waterfall, the boy asked the girl to spend forever with him.
As you may have guessed... she said yes.
The Elopement
2019 was the year of adventure elopements. The boy whisked the girl and her son away to the majestic mountains of Montana. They made Glacier National Park a piece of home. Standing on a bed of stones in the middle of Flathead River, surrounded by towering cedars, they said their vows.
and the rest is history...
"It truly feels like working with your friends. I would recommend them to anyone seeking a genuine set of photographers. "
