Knoxville high-end Wedding Photographers | Top 10 Wedding Photographers Knoxville, TN
 

joyful | timeless | vivid

Fine Art Elopement and Wedding photography rooted in presence, emotion, and legacy.

Photos for couples who want to be fully present on their day, not perform for it. The ones who value connection over perfection, meaningful moments over trends, and a wedding experience that feels calm, intentional, and deeply personal.

My work is a thoughtful blend of fine art & candid, documentary-style photography. Your images will feel authentically you, while still being thoughtfully composed and timeless. The kind of photos that don’t just show how your day looked, but bring you back to how it felt.

I’m Stephanie, a wedding photographer based in East TN, serving Knoxville, Chattanooga, and throughout the Southeast. I also travel for destination and coastal weddings & elopements.

With over 16 years of experience, I approach each wedding with a calm presence, an intentional eye, and a deep respect for the legacy you’re creating.

If you’re looking for photographs that feel elevated but never forced, and a photographer who will help you create a day you can actually enjoy and be fully present for, you’re in the right place.

“…she was the calm during the storm.”

I had the pleasure of having Stephanie photograph my wedding. I am an out of town bride, so I was super picky when selecting a photographer.
I wanted someone whose pictures were bright, happy, and true to the couples that is why I was so happy when I stumbled onto her page.
From the moment I requested a quote, Stephanie was extremely accommodating to my needs and put me right at ease.
She made a very stressful process into an easy one - which is a miracle when you are planning a wedding!
She sent me a care package before the wedding filled with all kinds of goodies and helpful tips for the big day.
On the day of the wedding, she was the calm during the storm - keeping everyone stress free and on schedule for the day.

I honestly don't know what we would have done without her!
Overall, I can not recommended Emerald and Ivy enough!
