About this vendor
A luxury wedding photography team based in Nashville, TN + Birmingham, AL (and beyond)
To us, the definition of perfection is capturing the laughter, the wind in your hair, and sinking into the real moments. We are not looking to capture an unrealistic version of you. Instead, we want to embrace what your love looks like. At VOW, our brides blaze their own trail without perfectly placed lace. We are always searching for those happily unplanned moments to tell your story forever.
We are a team of women from California and Tennessee. Collective(ly), we have over 15 years in the industry and have photographed hundreds of weddings. Our guarantee is to reassure each client that they are seen, heard, valued, and effortlessly captured through our elevated and seamless process. We have a strong passion for people and are humbled that we get to make a career out of our passion.
We adore chasing sunsets with each new couple. Capturing connection is our joy. We live for those in-between moments and we are committed to being your biggest hype-girls!
A little backstory on what makes VOW So different…
The wedding industry brought our team together. Through seeing all types of weddings, we realized there was something too impersonal and uptight about the client-photographer relationship. We noticed an opportunity for growth in the industry and this encouraged us to create a company centered around people, and serving them well.
We want to answer all of your questions before you even have to ask.
Each wedding is meant to stand out. Through mutual trust and connection, what matters most to you will be evident in everything we do.
If the VOW process feels like it aligns with your vision, we would love the opportunity to get to know you better and get this party started!

We were living in CA when we started planning our wedding in TN. Elizabeth was recommended to us from another CA Photogrpaher! It worked out so perfectly as we were able to get our...
engagement photos in CA and wedding photos in TN for our wedding. We were nervous for our engagement photos and Elizabeth helped me finalize outfits and made us feel so comfortable! On our wedding day she was fabulous as well right by my side to get all the shots but also dancing as well! She was the ultimate hype girl and could not imagine our wedding day without her!
Shelby is incredible! She was so easy to work with and so responsive throughout the entire wedding process. She made us feel very at ease taking pictures, and has the perfect demea...
nor for wedding photography. She made us feel so special and important. She has an eye for really cool shots and steps out of the box when it comes to locations and posing. The quality of the pictures are top notch. The lighting, framing, everything looks incredible. Lastly, she’s just a joy to be around and her happy attitude is contagious. You will not regret booking her!!
When it came time to book a photographer, I was totally overwhelmed. Living in Atlanta and planning a wedding in Nashville was stressful, and I wanted to find a photographer that w...
as amazing but could do engagement pictures ASAP since our engagement was relatively short. Shelby and Elizabeth were so fantastic off the bat- responsive, easy to talk to, easy to schedule with, and so flexible... not to mention, their galleries were gorgeous. With the distance coming into play, Shelby and Elizabeth agreed to meet my now husband and me in Chattanooga/Lookout Mountain for our engagement photos, which was fantastic. It saved us so much time, I got to bring my dog, the pictures were amazing, and on top of it all, they made two awkward people comfortable taking photos, and we got so many good ones! Fast forward a few months to wedding month... needless to say, I was stressed- mainly about the day of schedule. After one conversation with Shelby and Elizabeth, I felt so much better- the photo timeline was set, and they were able to ease my mind and let me know that they'd done this before (haha) and had it under control. Honestly, the day of my wedding was one of the most chill days of my life- and anyone that knows me knows I am NOT a laid back person. With Vow Collective in control, things went so smoothly. We had plenty of time for pictures, the perfect lighting and a few locations to shoot at. When we got our gallery back, I was stunned. I am very critical and usually can find something wrong with any photo, but I have had the hardest time narrowing down our "top" photos from our wedding day. Our gallery is amazing and I am obsessed with our pictures. All my friends and family agree- we had the best photographers who captured everything we wanted from our perfect day! Thank you both so much for making it such a wonderful experience. To wrap this all up, I would 100% recommend these two for your wedding!!!
Stop searching tirelessly on instagram for photographers and just hire Vow Collective already!!! Shelby and Elizabeth were the easiest duo to work with and our pictures are better ...
than I ever anticipated. It is so hard to find photographers that capture real moments and don't over edit the photos, but these two are the dream team. The photos aren't over saturated and also aren't too washed out. They are just true, genuine, classic, and beautiful photos. It is so fun having multiple photographers as well so that you get all the angles and moments. We had a huge bridal party and they knew exactly how to pose everyone so that everyone looked like their best selves. They are so easy and comfortable to be around, which makes the whole experience just feel natural. They completely made the entire wedding day flow smoothly, and as a bride that is all you can ask for. I'm so grateful for Vow Collective and can't thank them enough!
We loved our engagement and wedding pictures! Elizabeth has a calm and fun presence and made us feel very comfortable when taking our photos. We got all the shots we wanted and eve...
n had time to spare! The pictures were beautiful and the galleries were so easy to share with family and friends.
Picking a wedding photographer can be an overwhelming and intimidating thing but booking Shelby and Elizabeth was probably the easiest decision we made. From the beginning, we felt...
instantly cared for and celebrated. When our wedding day came, I was blown away at their warm presence and kindness. They made us feel relaxed, present, and completely confident in their abilities to capture the special moments in an authentic and genuine way. Beyond giving us the most beautiful pictures ever, they also did so many other helpful things throughout the day from making sure we ate food to bustling my dress. I can honestly say that they are a huge reason why the day was as special as it was for us. I cannot recommend them more highly. They’re amazing in every way. THANK YOU Vow Collective!! <3
If there was an option to give them 100 stars, I would. Shelby, Elizabeth and their team are just simply perfect. I've been working with them to plan the pictures and other details...
for my November wedding. Vow Collective was so much fun to work with, made us feel so comfortable and special, and were extremely attentive to us. They came up with brilliant ideas for pictures and settings for pictures. I will be booking them over and over again for my family pictures in the future!
Shelby and Elizabeth are the absolute best. We knew from our first conversation with them that they were going to be perfect for capturing our wedding. They are both so kind and he...
lpful from the start all the way through even offering vendor recommendations and helping with timelines. We got 30 sneak peak photos during the wedding and we were blown away with how wonderful they are. They are very effective communicators and made us feel so happy and comfortable through the whole process. Highly highly recommend them.
Shelby is the world's most intuitive & empathetic photographer. Seriously. Her passion for what she does is infused in every single action throughout the process (from email corres...
pondence to shooting on the day). My partner and I hired Shelby because a) have you seen her Instagram? and b) have you read her reviews?
We could not be more thrilled with the shots that Shelby captured. She guides you through each and every step of the process so there isn't even time for a breath of anxiety or nerves. She makes everything SO COMFORTABLE.
We have already planned our next shoot with Shelby and cannot be more excited. Whether she likes it or not, she's stuck with us capturing all of our life milestones for the rest of her life. 10/10 would recommend.
Shelby was amazing! She was so sweet and patient with me and my shy, little family on our wedding day! I was nervous about taking pictures because myself, as well as my husband a...

My expectations were so high, and Shelby exceeded them all. Not only is she a wonderful photographer, she has the warmest and most kind personality that made our day feel even more special.

SF is a true professional and also has a way of putting the wedding party (including the children) at ease.
