Maryville & Knoxville Wedding Photographer Intimate Weddings & Elopements
serving Knoxville and all surrounding East Tennessee areas
You've spent months planning this day. The flowers are picked, the dress is hanging up, the playlist is ready, and before you know it, you'll be walking toward your favorite person.
More Than Beautiful Photos
When the music fades and the cake is gone, your photos are what bring you back.
Back to the butterflies.
Back to the laughter.
Back to the hugs that lasted a little longer than usual.
Back to the moment you realized, "We're married."
That's what I want to give you.
Not just beautiful images, but the feeling of your wedding day every time you open your gallery.
Less Stress. More Celebrating.
Hey there, future groom and bride! I'm Victoria, a wedding photographer based right here in Maryville, TN, and I spend my weekends chasing light and real moments all over East Tennessee, from Knoxville to Gatlinburg to everywhere in between.
If you're anything like the couples I usually work with, you're not looking for stiff, posed-to-perfection photos. You want the real stuff: The squeeze of your hand before the ceremony, your dad's face when he sees you for the first time, your best friend fixing your veil, the way your soon-to-be spouse looks at you when they think no one's watching. That's what I'm here for.
As a mom myself, I get how much emotion and chaos and love goes into big family moments, and I bring that same warmth and attention to every wedding I shoot.
I proudly serve: Maryville • Knoxville • Alcoa • Blount County • Sevierville • Pigeon Forge • Gatlinburg • Townsend • Farragut • and the surrounding East Tennessee region
Wedding Photography That Feels Like Your Day
My style blends natural direction with documentary storytelling.
You'll receive beautiful portraits that belong on your walls, but you'll also receive the moments you never saw happening.
Your flower girl twirling in circles.
Your dad straightening his tie before walking you down the aisle.
Your guests laughing during cocktail hour.
Your partner looking at you like you hung the moon.
These are the photographs that bring your wedding day back to life years from now.
Elopements &Intimate Weddings Are My Specialty
I intentionally photograph small weddings and intimate celebrations because they allow couples to be fully present.
Whether you're inviting twenty guests or one hundred, your wedding deserves thoughtful storytelling, beautiful light, and someone who genuinely cares about your experience.

The Wedding Experience
From the moment you inquire, my goal is simple: make wedding photography the easiest part of your planning.
We'll chat about your vision, your venue, your timeline, and everything that matters most to you. Whether you're planning an intimate wedding in Maryville, a small wedding in Knoxville, or exchanging vows in the Smoky Mountains, I'll help build a photography timeline that lets you enjoy your day instead of rushing through it.
On your wedding day, I'm more than your photographer.
I'm fixing veils before they end up backwards.
I'm pinning boutonnieres that won't stay put.
I'm carrying bouquets while you hug your family.
I'm making sure Grandma gets in the photos.
I'm fluffing dresses, calming nerves, keeping portraits moving, and quietly documenting all the little moments happening around you.
You won't have to wonder where to stand or what to do with your hands. I'll guide you every step of the way so your portraits feel natural, comfortable, and full of genuine connection.
When the day is over, you'll receive a beautiful online gallery filled with the big moments, the tiny moments, and everything in between.
Wedding Photography Packages
Planning a wedding comes with a long list of expenses, and I believe beautiful wedding photography shouldn't be out of reach.
My goal is to offer affordable wedding photography for couples planning intimate weddings, small weddings, and micro weddings throughout Maryville, Knoxville, and East Tennessee, without sacrificing the experience or the quality of your images.
Whether you're celebrating with your closest family or hosting a full day of festivities, there's a package designed to fit your wedding.
4 Hours of Coverage | $650
Perfect for intimate weddings, courthouse ceremonies, and smaller celebrations.
This package gives us plenty of time to document your ceremony, family portraits, couple portraits, and those candid moments shared with your favorite people.
6 Hours of Coverage | $850
The most popular choice for couples who want a little more of their story told.
Six hours typically allows enough time for getting ready, the ceremony, family portraits, couple portraits, and the beginning of your reception, creating a gallery that feels complete from start to finish.
8 Hours of Coverage | $1000
For couples who don't want to miss a thing.
From the excitement of getting ready in the morning to the laughter on the dance floor at the reception, eight hours allows me to document your wedding day as it naturally unfolds, preserving every chapter of your celebration.
Engagement Sessions
Your wedding day shouldn't be the first time we're meeting behind the camera.
For all couples who book their wedding with me, I offer a free engagement session that includes 10 beautifully edited images.
Engagement sessions are relaxed, fun, and one of the best ways for us to get to know each other before your wedding. You'll have a chance to get comfortable in front of the camera, learn how I guide couples, and walk into your wedding day feeling completely at ease.
Many couples also use these photos for:
Save the Date cards
Wedding invitations
Wedding websites
Guest books
Reception displays
Bridal showers
Social media announcements
Framed décor at the wedding
By the time your wedding arrives, it won't feel like you've hired a photographer. It'll feel like you're seeing a familiar face who's ready to celebrate right alongside you.
No matter which package you choose, you'll receive the same care, attention to detail, and genuine excitement for your wedding day. My job isn't just to deliver beautiful photos. It's to help you enjoy every moment while I preserve the memories you'll look back on for the rest of your lives.
Why Couples Love Working With Me
I won't disappear after family portraits.
I'll be fixing your veil before you even notice it moved.
I'll remind you to slow down and enjoy the day.
I'll make family portraits quick so everyone gets back to celebrating.
I'll carry your bouquet while we walk to portraits.
I'll notice lipstick on your teeth before anyone else does.
I'll celebrate right alongside you while quietly documenting everything that matters.
By the end of the day, you'll feel like you hired more than a photographer.
You'll feel like you had someone completely in your corner.
The Morning Your Wedding Story Begins
Some of my favorite photographs happen long before anyone walks down the aisle.
The morning of your wedding has a different kind of excitement. Your favorite people are gathered in one room, music is playing, someone is steaming a dress, someone else is searching for a missing cufflink, and every minute brings you one step closer to saying "I do."
This is where your wedding story begins.
If you choose getting ready coverage, I'll photograph all the little details you've spent months planning, from your dress, shoes, rings, invitations, jewelry, and bouquet to the quiet moments that often become the most meaningful.
I'll capture your mom helping you into your dress, your bridesmaids laughing together, your dad seeing you for the first time, and all the excitement that's impossible to recreate later.
For the groom, I'll document those moments too. Straightening ties, buttoning jackets, sharing a toast with the guys, exchanging stories, and taking a quiet breath before the ceremony begins.
These aren't just detail photos. They're the opening chapter of your wedding day.
When you look back through your gallery, you'll remember not only how your wedding looked, but how it felt from the very beginning.
Planning Tips for a Stress-Free Wedding Day
A little planning goes a long way, especially when it comes to your wedding photos.
Build Extra Time Into Your Timeline
Everything takes a little longer than expected on a wedding day. Adding even fifteen extra minutes throughout the day creates room to breathe and keeps everyone relaxed.
Consider a First Look
There's no right or wrong choice, but a first look gives you more time together and allows us to capture many of your portraits before the ceremony. That means you'll spend more time celebrating with your guests afterward.
Trust the Light
The most beautiful wedding portraits usually happen during the hour before sunset. If your timeline allows it, we'll sneak away for just a few minutes while your guests enjoy cocktail hour or the reception. Those few minutes often create the photographs couples frame in their homes.
Make Family Portraits Easy
Before your wedding, I'll help you create a family photo list so nobody important gets missed. Family portraits stay organized, efficient, and stress free, leaving everyone more time to celebrate.
Be Present
Your flowers will eventually wilt.
The cake will be eaten.
The music will end.
The best thing you can do is soak it all in.
Laugh loudly.
Cry if you need to.
Dance with your grandparents.
Hold your new spouse's hand every chance you get.
Those are the moments you'll treasure forever.
She was absolutely AMAZING! She was so understanding and patient with my schedule. She was so sweet and did everything I was expecting. The pictures came out PHENOMENAL I was so happy!! Please do not hesitate to book with her
