A wedding day isn't something you want to rush through. You want to actually feel it while it's happening.
The quiet right before the ceremony starts. Drinks clinking at dinner. That one speech that had everyone laughing and then immediately crying. The moment you look around and realize everyone you love is actually here.
Your photos should feel like that. Not some styled, perfectly curated version of the day. Just what actually happened. The people who showed up, the energy in the room, how it all unfolded when you stopped worrying about the timeline and let yourself be there.
So years from now, when you look back, you remember what it felt like. Not just what happened.
Your wedding day is going to move fast. Way faster than you think.
One second you're getting ready, the next you're married, and suddenly everyone's on the dance floor and you're wondering where the last six hours went. You'll be busy actually living it. Hugging people, soaking it all in, being fully there. And that's exactly how it should be. You're supposed to be present, not stressed about whether someone's capturing it all.
That's my job. I show up, stay aware of what's unfolding around you, and document the day as it actually happens. You don't have to think about me or the camera. You just get to be there.
And when it's over and everything's a blur, you'll have photos that bring you right back to how it felt.

If you’re searching for a talented photographer who can transform moments into masterpieces, Cayla is the one to work with. She’s made every one of our shoots memorable and fun and makes you feel comfortable and confident.
The images? Breathtaking. Every shot was filled with emotion, rich in color, and beautifully framed, showcasing Cayla’s exceptional talent. Whether capturing candid laughter, elegant portraits, or stunning landscapes, her work speaks volumes about her dedication and artistry.

We chose Cayla for her laid back style and ability to capture the rawness and genuine moments in a natural space. We were awkwardly laughing off the nervousness of not being sure what we wanted in our photos at first, but by the end of our session, it felt calm and natural... She was willing to navigate new ways to get photos of us in a space she had never shot in before to give us the perfect photos to hold onto forever.

I cannot recommend and rave about Cayla enough to anyone and everyone. She truly is a master behind the camera and has a work of art with her photos and I am so so happy that I was able to find her and have her be part of some of our big moments.
As a destination and Tennessee wedding photographer, I take on a limited number of weddings each year so every couple gets the attention and care they deserve.
If you want a wedding day that feels calm, present, and fully lived, and photos that reflect that feeling, I’d love to hear your story.
