Hi!! I am so glad you are here! I specialize in capturing the romance and excitement of life’s most unforgettable moments—marriage proposals, engagements, and elopements. My goal is to create a photography experience that feels as magical and meaningful as the love you share.
Each session is carefully tailored to reflect your story and style. Whether it’s the surprise of a proposal, the joy of an engagement, or the intimacy of an elopement, I focus on blending posed portraits with candid, heartfelt moments. This approach ensures that your connection shines through in every image—raw, authentic, and beautifully timeless.
From breathtaking Smoky Mountain vistas to cozy, sentimental settings, I work closely with you to choose the perfect backdrop for your story. With gentle guidance and an eye for natural light and composition, I create an atmosphere where you can feel comfortable and relaxed, allowing your love to take center stage.
Following your session, you’ll receive a collection of stunning, professionally edited images that capture not just the event, but the emotions and memories of the day. Whether you’re framing these moments in your home or sharing them with loved ones, your images will be a cherished keepsake of your unique journey together.
Let me help you tell your love story with artistry and care, preserving these once-in-a-lifetime memories for years to come.
"We hired Jacqueline to do our photo shoot of a special event. In fact we looked for several photographers around the region in search for one of the most talented photographers we could find ... we ended picking Jacqueline.
She brings an artistic flare that only a highly talented photographer could obtain. We were incredibly impressed with the photos and because of our experience we will continue to use her in future photo events!"

PORTFOLIO
Meet Your Photographer
Hi! I'm Jacqueline, but I mostly go by Jackie. I have been photographing weddings for over 20 years and absolutely adore capturing the emotion and love between a couple. I have had a camera in my hand since I was 12 and knew I wanted to be a photographer when I grew up. With the support of my amazing husband (and business partner), I pursued my dream and it has been 18 years since I jumped in full-time.
I LOVE traveling, and even better if I get to photograph people on my travels. I have photographed weddings all over the world, including Italy, Grand Cayman, Cabo, Hawaii, up and down California, Seattle, Chicago, North Carolina, and the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. I have dreams of expanding that list to Greece, Paris, New Zealand, Germany and so many other places!
One of my most favorite things about photography is creating relationships with my clients. I am so honored to have couples I've photographed not only their weddings but also their growing family and I become an honorary member of the family. I'm proud to be "Aunt Jackie" to hundreds of kiddos I love dearly!!
- How does a proposal session work?
-
I help you plan the perfect surprise proposal! We’ll discuss location, timing, and details so I can capture the moment discreetly. After the big “YES!”, we’ll take some beautiful portraits to celebrate.
- Can you help me choose a proposal location?
-
Absolutely! I know the most scenic and romantic spots in Knoxville, Chattanooga, the Smoky Mountains and in between, and can recommend a location that fits your vision—whether it’s a mountaintop, garden, or intimate cityscape.
- Do you offer assistance with planning the proposal?
-
Yes! I offer planning guidance to help with logistics, timing, and even posing tips to make sure everything goes smoothly and looks amazing in photos.
- What should we wear for our engagement session?
-
I recommend neutral, timeless outfits that complement each other without matching exactly. Plus, you’ll have access to my curated wardrobe options to make styling stress-free!
- When is the best time for an engagement session?
-
Golden hour—just after sunrise or before sunset—is ideal for dreamy, glowing light. However, I can work with any time of day to create beautiful images.
- How long does an engagement session last?
-
Engagement sessions typically last 1-1.5 hours, giving us plenty of time for outfit changes and exploring a beautiful location.
- How soon will we receive our photos?
-
You’ll receive a sneak peek within a few days and your full gallery within 1-2 weeks.
- What is an elopement, and how is it different from a wedding?
-
An elopement is an intimate, stress-free way to say "I do"—often with just the couple or a few close loved ones. It allows you to focus on your love story without the pressure of a big wedding.
- Do you help with elopement planning?
-
Yes! From recommending stunning locations to helping with timelines, I make sure your elopement is beautifully captured and runs seamlessly.
- How many hours of coverage do we need for an elopement?
-
A typical elopement is up to 3 hours. This gives you the flexibility to choose if you'd like me to capture your getting ready moments before the ceremony, ceremony coverage, portraits after, and some couples will have an intimate reception.
- Can we still include family and friends in an elopement?
-
Absolutely! Elopements can include a small group of loved ones while keeping the focus on your intimate, meaningful connection.
- How many photos do we receive from our elopement?
-
You’ll receive a curated gallery of fully edited, high-resolution images, perfect for printing and sharing. The number depends on coverage time, but typically 100-150 per hour of photography.
- Do you offer albums or prints?
-
Yes! I offer heirloom albums, custom prints, and wall art so you can relive your elopement day for years to come. I love helping clients preserve their memories in printed products and creating beautiful art for their walls.
