if Monica Geller and Ronald Reagan had a baby... that's me.

DOCUMENTARY
PHOTOGRAPHER FOR THOSE WHO:

love God
value the intentional moments
hold an adventurous spirit

I’m dedicated to giving my couples my absolute ALL, and for that reason I only take on a limited amount of weddings per year. Each couple is met with a curated experience, constant communication, timeline structure, and lots of quality time editing your photos to give you the images that tell your story properly. The time spent getting to know you both is an integral part of my process – my goal is to build a relationship with you! Your wedding will be met with a laid back and stress free approach so that you can enjoy your day and be fully present.

I BELIEVE IN AN EFFORTLESS PROCESS THAT CAPTURES YOUR INTENTIONALITY & HEART

INQUIRE

HI, I’M MARKELLA

I believe that beauty is something we all have in common.

I am a Colorado girl living in Nashville, Tennessee, with my husband and our kitty - life is good. I also spend a great deal of my time working in journalism and news media, and will never turn down a fiery theological or philosophical debate. Discovering truth is my passion.

I believe that beauty is something we all have in common.
Not because we are identical; on the contrary - as a song differs from a kiss, one is heard and one is felt, each are beautiful and pleasing to the soul. The skill of photography is an art form that requires someone to see through the production of a wedding, in order to document the beauty of marriage. That’s kinda my whole thing! And, you won’t be lacking energy or smiles - I’ve no shortage of either, and I love to share.

I’m so honored you’re considering me to photograph your wedding - I do not take that lightly. This is my labor of love, and I am here to DELIVER!

Fueled by my husband's kisses, kitty-cuddles, and opinionated discussions.

GET TO KNOW ME

I speak Spanish and French, and LOVE to practice! Salut, amie! Je voudrais prendre des photos avec toi ! Que penses-tu?

Things that make me...me

GET TO KNOW ME

My husband and I are coffee lovers, and even put coffee beans in the flat lay shot of our wedding invites. If you're local to Nashville, our favorite spots are Crema, Babu, and Dose.

Things that make me...me

GET TO KNOW ME

In my spare time I am either reading, baking, or thrifting. My favorite type of day looks like whipping up a homemade coffee cake, taking home some antique items, and reading a historical fiction; probably something from Kristin Hannah.

Seeking only to glorify His name through my work.

the art of noticing

Your wedding day should not feel like a photoshoot. I have a documentary-style approach, meaning I give you only as much posing as you request, and my remaining time is spent being a fly on the wall, freezing hundreds of tiny moments that allow you to experience your day all over again as it was, untouched and authentic.

All of those annoying hairbands on wrists, sunglasses on heads, smeared mascara, and easily fixable things that we notice after the fact are mine to handle and prevent so that your final images are clean, not chaotic.

Your wedding day is not about the photos, the florals, the food, or anything you can buy. It is about the Divine Sacrament that you both partake in while surrounded by your community. My job is to help you focus less on the wedding and more on the marriage.

All the things that you won’t have time to notice I will be noticing for you. The tears, the cheers, and everything in between.
