If you are overwhelmed with the amount of Memphis photographers like I was, look no further and book Michelle now!!! Seriously. Do it. lol Not only is she obviously an incredibly talented photographer, but she’s also fun, witty, relatable, and is soooo good at making you feel comfortable in front of a camera. She also has great vendor recommendations and plenty of wedding “do’s and don’t’s” which was super helpful throughout the planning process. All in all, Michelle was wonderful to work with and I would choose her all over again (in fact I will use her any time I need professional photos done from here on out). And oh yeah, her team is wonderful too!!! The few I worked with were sweet and personable! Thank you again for everything Michelle!!

Cooper Union Band

  • Serves Ellendale, TN

We are a group of distinguished artists and professionals with decades of industry experience. We have worked alongside of major artists, performed on national tours, and been featured on shows such as American Idol, The Voice, and The Four. Our band leader, Brennan also has 10+ years of professional event planning experience and has personally performed and/coordinated music for over 400 weddings.

Awarded Best of Zola
Cooper Union helped us celebrate the best day of our lives on November 26, 2022! Our guests raved about how awesome the band was both during and well after our wedding. Brennan's voice is as smooth as butter and Kia hitting all the high notes in "Respect" brought down the house. Not only is the band incredibly talented, but they are genuinely nice people who have a good time performing together. They accommodated all of our requests, and we had MANY including Sam Cooke, Frank Sinatra, Bob Dylan, and more (they play all the newer music too!). On top of it all, Brennan helped me surprise my wife with a private last dance to "River" by Leon Bridges. Brennan kept it a secret up to the last second and made the moment so so special for us both. Needless to say, tears of joy were flowing! Not only were they a fabulous musical group, but they seamlessly MC'd the reception including speeches, cake cutting, and pouring of the champagne tower. We livestreamed the ceremony and they let us use their mics -- the sound quality was crisp and allowed our grandmothers to hear every word of our vows. Their ability to provide a string quartet for the ceremony added a truly elegant touch and provided our guests with live music from beginning to end. With so many bands out there to consider, we could not be any happier with our choice to hire Cooper Union!!

H1! I'm Laramie Renae, Owner and Photographer at Wandering Creative. I am a Wedding & Documentary Photographer, based in Memphis, TN. I am an avid documentarian, and I cannot wait to capture your day :)

Awarded Best of Zola
Laramie is FANTASTIC! Everyone keeps talking about how good the photos are, and my husband agrees and is glad we went with Wandering Creative like I wanted. She was able to cover the entire wedding and get those extra pics of the food and decorations, things that people don't really think about. AND she got the crucial moments. She literally captured his immediate reaction to seeing me coming down the aisle! I looked at so many photographers, but I kept coming back to Wandering Creative because I loved the photos and her vision so much. And she did not disappoint. These are photos that you will look back on for the rest of your life. One of my friends said it best when she said, “she really captured the energy of your wedding”. When I look at these photos, I remember and can feel our happiness and how much fun we had. And thanks to Wandering Creative, I always will.

Hello, I am so happy you stopped by! I am a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in the Memphis, Tennessee area but love to travel for photography as well. My business began in 2017 and has been going strong ever since. I have always loved photography but now have a passion for it since losing my mom to brain cancer several years ago. I would have taken so many more pictures that captured her personality, love for life, and love for people way more if only I had known how little time she had left. That is what I want to do for you!! Capture snapshots of your life and love, preserving your memories for a lifetime.

Leslie Grace Photography & Films was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding day. Their communication was phenomenal, outstanding, and always on time. The quality of their work and overall value is unmatched - Leslie has a way of making me feel like a model, and she would even send us photos at 2 AM just to make sure we could get our pictures back quickly. Leslie really went above and beyond to contribute to our special day. When I was feeling nervous before the ceremony, she called me aside and asked me to describe my wife in a few words, which ended up capturing such an emotional moment that I started tearing up. She also made the photo sessions fun and engaging, even getting our rambunctious toddler to smile the whole time. Leslie Grace Photography will undoubtedly be the only person we use for any future photoshoots - she makes us feel so comfortable and special, and has truly transformed what I used to dread into a party when my wife tells me it's time for photos!

I started photography about 8 years ago because I wanted to capture the surreal moments of life and happiness. I love meeting and networking with people because you learn so much more about life itself. I've broke into the wedding industry July 2022 and I fell in love fully and went full time wedding photographer. I fell in love with the support and experiences couples gain while working together. There's no better way to help support than being able to celebrate the most special moments of their life. Any way that I can inspire or encourage moments to be relived through my work is why I chose to work within the wedding industry.

These aren't just photos. These are stories. They're your story. My approach is natural. I don't force moments, but I do know when to help direct. I want you to feel comfortable enough to come as you are, and let me capture the true essence of "you", because that is what matters the most. I am a natural light wedding photographer, which means I use solely the natural light outside or inside a building. I know what types of light situations are best, and I know how to combat the ones that are out of our control. I think natural light brings out the creamy tones to skin, makes your eyes sparkle, and makes for an organic photo.

Let’s get to know each other. Let’s play. Let’s run (um, don’t worry when I look like I’m dying. It’s fine. I’m fine.) Let’s get intimate. Let’s have FUN. Bring the goofy. Bring the awkward.

I’m writing this the day after our wedding, and without seeing a single picture, I need to sing her praises. In our engagement pictures, MyKenzie captured *us.* For most, being photographed is incredibly uncomfortable but literally after three minutes it felt like we were hanging out with a friend. She’s an expert at capturing you in a way that feels natural while having the best time. Despite us swimming in our own sweat (Aug. 18 in Memphis), our engagement photos are so, so beautiful. MyKenzie has an incredible eye for lighting and is so creative with her framing, but what is so special is that the subjects were not two strangers who look like us, they are us. Yesterday her care, support, and energy made the day that more special. A photographer and human. I’m so grateful MyKenzie was the one to capture this season of our life so beautifully and authentically.

I couldn’t have asked for a better florist experience.

Katie Allred is a film & digital photographer specializing in fine art wedding & boudoir experiences. It’s my joy to serve you by giving you the opportunity to be the leads of your own love story, then utilize my years of experience to craft top quality heirlooms. ​I used to be ashamed of my introverted nature, but I've realized it's an asset. Through listening and empathy, I effectively observe your values, relationships, and emotions. Then, I work with you to create a thoughtfully guided experience- from beginning to lifelong professional relationship.

I am beyond in love with my wedding photos! Every time I look at them they make me so happy. Katie was so amazing to work with and made everyone in the wedding party feel so comfortable, and made every single person look as beautiful as possible. I loved her ethereal work and I felt like she captured my garden wedding to a T. I can't recommend Persuasion Photography enough for an easy, fun, comfortable day, and the most beautiful pictures you could ask for.
