The Experience
In 2020, I returned to my hometown of Chattanooga, TN, with my fiancé Andy. I was expanding my fine art photography into portraiture and weddings, with Andy as my production manager and biggest supporter.
Then Andy died, and everything changed. I struggled to stay in the wedding industry, but capturing memories for couples became my way of honoring what I had lost. Photos of love, joy, and connection became more precious to me.
I often think of the moments we never got to capture—our first look, private vows, or first kiss. His smile lives in my memories, but those photos would mean the world to me now.

I will celebrate your love because I know what it means to have that love, and I know what it means to lose it.

The ceremony space at The Pines is one of my favorites as a Chattanooga Wedding Photographer for as it strikes a great balance of being covered and shaded while still being bright and beautiful.
The Woodlands at Five Gables is a favorite among Chattanooga wedding photographers for its elegant outdoor ceremony space and stunning interior, complete with a spiral staircase that adds a timeless touch.
As a wedding photographer in Chattanooga, I love how Oakleaf Cottage blends stunning details with a strong commitment to sustainability, offering a beautiful space that prioritizes the land.
Is it to remember the nuance of the dish? Or because you and your favorite person in the whole wide world got to experience it together?
When you and your fiancé go to a new restaurant together are you the type of couple who:
A- Plan your order together and family style dinner so you get to try more things?
B- Pick something according to your taste and maybe offer a bite to each other if asked?
If you’re in column A we’re probably going to be a great fit because you two want experience the world together, you're the type of couple who want to create shared memories.
I want you to come together and have fun while taking photos on your wedding day! One thing I've noticed in my time as a Chattanooga wedding photographer is that it's so easy to get caught up in conventional expectations and whisked away in the whirlwind of your day. Whether you're planning a grand celebration or an intimate Chattanooga elopement, my desire for you is to create shared memories on your wedding day.
Do you take pics of your Food?
Selecting the best time for your wedding ceremony isn’t just about the clock, especially during long, hot summer days in Chattanooga. It’s about making sure your photography shines and your guests are comfortable.
Curious about the pros and cons of first look weddings? Hear from a Chattanooga wedding photographer about why it might be the perfect choice for you!
Assigning a bridesmaids (and groomsmen!) duties list ensures your wedding day flows smoothly and avoiding any last-minute confusion.
Most couples envision wedding photography that captures the essence of their relationship and reflect their unique personalities, but aren’t sure how to achieve them naturally.
That's where I come in; I use prompt based posing to encourage genuine interactions, allowing me to capture real moments in a structured way. My desire for you is to come together and have fun, feel comfortable and be yourself in front of the camera.
As a queer business owner, it is important to me that all couples seeking wedding vendors feel welcomed and celebrated.
I'm here to help bring your vision to life; from documenting the joy of your engagement to capturing the beauty of your wedding day and creating heirlooms that will be valued for generations.
Love is Love, period.
"We couldn’t be happier with how all of the photos turned out! "
We loved Lara! She listened to the things we wanted to prioritize photography-wise and got some amazing photos. We even got an unexpected rainbow on our wedding day that she captured too. We couldn’t be happier with how all of the photos turned out!
