We’re Emilie and Andrew—a husband-and-wife filmmaking team based in Chattanooga, TN.
Our own marriage story began at the beginning of the COVID pandemic. Overnight, all of our carefully made wedding plans were thrown out the window! Instead of gathering with friends and extended family at the venue of our choice, we held a small, meaningful ceremony in Andrew’s parents’ front yard with just our immediate families present.
It wasn’t what we had envisioned, but it was beautiful—and it marked the beginning of a marriage we’re so deeply grateful for. 
The Nelson’s Photography and Films was born out of a desire to preserve stories like these. Stories full of real emotion, honest moments, and the kind of love that lasts. We wanted to offer something different: an experience that’s relational, collaborative, and tailored to each couple we work with.
Our favorite part of this work is the connection we get to build with our couples—walking alongside you as you step into marriage, and helping you remember the day not just through beautiful images and films, but through the emotion behind them.
If you're looking for a photography and filmmaking team who values story, connection, and collaboration—we’d be honored to be a part of preserving yours.
