All LOVE IS WELCOME HERE
Hi, I’m Marlie a candid, story-driven wedding photographer based in Kentucky and serving the Nashville region. I’m a mama to four wonderful kids and the wife to my favorite person, and together we live on a little farm that keeps life beautifully full. The quiet mornings, the messy days, the laughter echoing through the house, all of it reminds me how precious real moments are. Maybe that’s why I love weddings so deeply. There’s something magical about documenting a day filled with emotion, connection, and the kind of joy that only comes when you’re surrounded by the people who love you most.
Photography, for me, is about more than pretty pictures. It’s about telling a story you can feel the tenderness, the celebration, the inside jokes, the little looks that say everything. I believe every couple deserves to see their love honored exactly as it is. I joyfully welcome couples of every race, background, sexuality, and identity. Your story is safe with me, and I’m here to celebrate it wholeheartedly.
Whether your day is full of quiet romance or loud, happy chaos, I’m here to capture it honestly, lovingly, and with the heart of someone who understands just how meaningful these moments are.
I’m Marlie, a wedding photographer serving Kentucky and Nashville. I believe your wedding photos should be works of art that bring you right back to how it felt.

Guilty pleasure
When it comes to my work, my time, and my life, I believe in savoring the meaningful over rushing through the many. I focus on creating a few truly beautiful, intentional images that tell your story in a way that’s honest, heartfelt, and unforgettable. Whether it’s capturing the quiet moments between vows or the laughter that fills the room, I prioritize depth, connection, and timelessness over simply filling an album. For me, it’s not about how many photos you get—it’s about how every single one makes you feel.
I prefer quality over quantity
I believe the little things make the biggest impact. From the way a veil catches the light to the subtle glance between a couple, I notice the moments that often go unseen. Every frame, every angle, and every edit is handled with care so that your wedding story is captured perfectly. My attention to detail ensures that no emotion, no gesture, and no memory is ever overlooked—because the small moments are often the ones you’ll treasure the most.
I'm extremely detail oriented
The magic of a wedding day isn’t just in the big moments—it’s in the laughter, the quiet glances, the spontaneous hugs, and the joy that naturally unfolds. I love being present, blending in, and documenting your day as it truly happens, without forcing poses or staging moments. My goal is to capture your story authentically, so when you look back at your photos, you feel the excitement, the love, and the genuine emotions exactly as they happened.
