Tennessee Wedding and portrait Photographer, based in Winchester.
Telling your story, one joyful moment at a time.
You’re looking for a photographer who’s just as excited as you are to capture every little detail of your special day - preserving its lasting legacy.
Choosing the right photographer to document your wedding day or family milestone can feel overwhelming.
Your photographer will be with you during some of the most intimate and important moments of your life, and you want to make sure you find the right partner to walk through this exciting season with you.
The most special moments of your life seem to pass so quickly.
I couldn’t go back and hire that photographer, so instead I became that photographer.
I understand exactly how you’re probably feeling right now. When I planned my own wedding, I had no idea where to begin, and I literally hired my photographer from the phone book.
And while I had an album of technically good photos, there was something missing. Connection! Authenticity! Real life!
Since 2009, I’ve had the honor of documenting countless love stories through timeless and candid photography.
About your photographer, Paula Emery
• Knows that emotions and intimate moments are incredibly important.
• Gets to know each couple to ensure their unique personalities and connection shine through each image.
• Understands there is significance in each curated detail on your special day – like the small flower arrangements at my own wedding made by my sweet Mama from magnolia leaves from the trees I used to climb in front of my grandmother’s house.
• Laughs with you, calms your nerves, and is just as excited as you are to celebrate your day.
While things turned out pretty well all things considered, I learned that a good photographer…
The best day is when a bride gets her gallery and goes through it with tear filled eyes and says, “I didn’t even see that!” or “I can’t believe you caught that!”
It is an absolute honor to walk alongside you through this chapter in your life, and it is my goal to never miss a single moment of your special day.
Your photographs should preserve not just the way each moment looked, but also how they felt.
Stephanie and Tozia
“She was so flexible and easy to work with, and everything about her made me so calm. She was professional and felt trustworthy, but she was also so lively and fun!! We love the pictures she took and I expect we will be calling her for all of our photography needs from now on!”
“Paula was the biggest blessing to our wedding day!”
Christie and Jamie
“She was able to catch so many personal moments on camera, that without her, would never have been noticed. Because of Paula we have a story to show and tell for a lifetime. Best. Photographer. EVER!”
“I can't begin to imagine my engagement or wedding day without Paula by my side”
Karlie and Gabe
“My wedding day started out with every outside bride's worst nightmare, pouring down rain. When Paula arrived, my makeup was halfway finished and my nerves were completely shot. She took pictures in the shop, asked what size I wore, and met us at the venue with a cute pair of rain boots”
“What really stands out is how she took the time to try and make the day a little better.”
Lindsey and Ethan
“She took time to get to know us as people, not just clients. Paula is great at helping people loosen up and have fun in front of the camera. She made our wedding day so much fun for us and for our wedding party.”
“Not only were her photos beautiful, but she was a joy to work with!”
Kind words from past clients
We only commit to a limited number of weddings per year so that we’re able to give our couples the attention they deserve. We’d hate for your date to get booked before we’ve had a chance to meet. So inquire about your date today!
