You’ve started planning your beautiful Catholic wedding, you’ve booked your reception, we’re designing your portraits, and then, you get an email. It’s from your church coordinator outlining the rules of wedding photography in their church. You don’t panic! First, because you read this, and second, because your Catholic wedding photography team is well-versed in Wedding Mass Photography Etiquette.

Kayla and Martin’s Sewanee University of the South engagement session was such a dream. I absolutely loved getting to visit the University of the South and it’s beautiful architecture. Even more though, I loved getting to meet this lovely couple and learn about their relationship as we visited different spots around campus that mean so much to each of them.

Ambra and Tim had one of the penultimate Nashville Catholic weddings and nobody can change my mind. They included all the best things: getting ready on historic Music Row, a Nuptial Mass at St. Ann’s, and delicious food and drink at 5th & Taylor. This St. Ann’s and 5th and Taylor wedding was the perfect finale to my Fall ’25 wedding schedule.

I LOVE weddings with a strong sense of family and community and Faustina and Cole had just that. Their sweet November wedding day was full of loving family and close friends. And you know those people that you meet and instantly realize are just the nicest ever? That’s Faustina and Cole. Their November Cookeville, TN wedding at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church and Leslie Town Center was such a joyful and refreshing Fall day.

Louisville is one of my favorite cities and it was even better getting to photograph another bride in the most amazing friend group I am privileged enough to keep getting to work with. St. Boniface Catholic Church and The Bourbon Barrel Loft hosted the most fun, emotional, and intentional November Kentucky wedding. Georgia and Enrique […]

’m not sure there could be better backdrops for a Nashville wedding day surrounded by Fall colors than the historic St. Mary of the Seven Sorrows Catholic Church and the Nashville Zoo all decorated for their Zoolumination event.

Savannah and Tanner had their short and simple Catholic wedding ceremony at St. Ann’s Catholic Church (one of my favorites!) in downtown Nashville, Tennessee. It was a beautiful, rainy, and emotional ceremony that was an honor to photograph.

Evie and Michael got married with a Huntsville Catholic Wedding on the most beautiful warm June day at Holy Spirit Catholic church. It was such a joy to photograph their beautiful sacrament day and celebrate with all their friends and family. This couple is loved on by such an amazing community. Our team was honored […]

One of my favorite parts of this job is getting to explore different cities in the Southeast, photograph beautiful weddings in beautiful churches, and working with couples who are super fun. Mary and Nick’s Catholic wedding in St. Augustine, Florida hit ALL these marks and was a Spring 2025 highlight for MOP.

Getting to meet Courtney and Justin was such a bright spot during a very busy May photography weekend! I absolutely LOVE working with my wedding clients to plan out an engagement session that will be fun, relaxed, and of course, beautiful.

They wanted to practice some wedding posing, I wanted to hear about their beautiful Huntsville Catholic wedding this November (and of course take some great portraits of them.) The variable was, we had one very specific afternoon to do this while they were in town from Houston, TX and it rained most of the day leading up to the session.
