Zelina Photography

Absolutely amazing photographers. Michelle came, took over and made everything run so smoothly. I could not ask for better photographers. Absolutely recommend using Zelina Photography. I could not express my gratitude or thanks for this. She also sent me a video less than 24 hours after my wedding reception. 100/10. I wish I could give more stars than 5.

Zelina Photography was absolutely incredible - talented, organized, and so easy to work with. The photography and videography were the most important part of our wedding for me (outside of actually getting married), and the team from Zelina met - and exceeded - every expectation.

We had two photographers, a videographer, and a helper/photo coordinator, and they worked seamlessly together to capture every part of the day - from morning prep through the ceremony and into the reception. The family group photos were beautifully composed, and the candid shots felt so authentic - they truly captured the spirit and joy of the day. They did an amazing job balancing indoor and outdoor lighting - every shot looks polished and natural. The drone footage added such a special touch, and the highlight montage video was absolutely stunning.

Every photo and video takes us right back to that day. We couldn’t be happier and would recommend them to anyone who wants their wedding memories captured flawlessly.

We've only received our sneak peeks so far, but I am in love with our pictures. From the posed photographs to the candid snaps the details are crisp and artfully captured. I look forward to looking back on these seasons after season of our lives, sharing them with our children and our family. Michelle was an amazing addition to our day and helped things run smoothly and remind me of some events. She did an amazing job capturing a specific shot that I wanted. I would highly recommend them to anyone and urge you to trust her suggestions!

Zelina Photography was exactly what we were looking for when it came to our wedding photos. Affordable and with professional quality, they captured stunning photos, created a lovely day-of montage, and beautifully recorded our three main dances. Communication with them was quick, clear, and productive. They were flexible and considered what we wanted and what the venue could accommodate. I was even given rescue bobby pins for a mini hair emergency prior to the ceremony! We also paid for an extra hour so we could get outside photos near our location, and they were wonderful at setting up those shots. Our photos and videos came back in a timely manner as well. The father-daughter pair were friendly and all-around lovely people. I would work with them again in a heartbeat.

Michelle and her father were absolutely fantastic! They were incredibly flexible and worked with the moment. They communicated, listened, and absolutely delivered an awesome end result. I truly cannot say enough good things about this team. Professional at all times and we absolutely love our photographs.

We hired Michelle and Bill for our elopement. She was the first photographer that I found that I had that *OHHHHHH!! THIS ONE* thought. I showed my other half and he said lets contact them and see what package they would have for us. We knew what we wanted. I wrote a long list of questions and when we had a meeting with Michelle she was able to answer all my questions, some times even two or three at once because she is detailed and covers everything! We decided to give them the yes! This was the best decision we made for this process. She kept good communication with us, scheduled a "we are a week out lets catch up and answer questions" with us. She literally asked me about certain things that I had not even thought about! Again, she is REALLY detailed.

Day of the elopement and nothing was going to plan. My makeup artist was over an hour late which put me super late getting to our location. But Michelle and Bill worked with us and were super awesome through the whole thing! Michelle helped me get my dress on, helped me hike down to the overlook, made sure my hair and makeup were on point. Michelle held on to my makeup touch up bag in case I needed it and truly showed she isn't JUST the photographer. She is a photographer, coordinator and a wedding planner/assistant all in one! I have worked with other photographers at weddings back when I was studying photography and none of the ones I worked with were like Michelle! They were strictly business! Michelle is completely opposite! She is warm, inviting, kind and a major help! Especially when it came to helping my husband and I stay calm through the process when things were not working to the plan.

While my focus was mostly with Michelle, Bill was there doing videography and it was such a delight working with him as well! I can say the same about Bill as I did about Michelle. Warm, inviting, kind and very focused to getting amazing footage! I cant wait to see the footage he got of our special day and what he does with it! My husband says "Bill was top notch and made me feel at ease. He was very warm and welcoming throughout the whole process. These two are stellar and would be a great pick for anyone planning an elopement or wedding!" After our ceremony we hiked down to the waterfall to take the rest of our photos and video, they could have easily packed up and hiked out without us as their job was done. But they took their time and hiked out with us instead. Michelle even helped me get out of my wedding dress in the middle of the hiking trail to make my hike back up easier on me. This truly was more than just a business transaction.

10/10 We recommend you choose Michelle and Bill for your big day! We also will be booking them again when we do our friends and family celebration because I would not trust our day of celebration with ANYONE else at this point! We even want to book with them again in the future to do family photos!

Zelina photography was amazing to work with! She was so flexible with me and made the sweetest highlight video. I highly recommend her and would definitely use her again!

Michelle made my husband and me feel very comfortable for photos and was a joy to work with. We would absolutely recommend her to other couples seeking wedding photos. She was prompt, easy to communicate with, professional, and wrangled my unruly family for pictures with grace!!

Our daughters wedding was 10.28.23. We are in LOVE with the wedding photos! The Zelina Photography team was able to capture so many great posed and candid moments. They brought such a creative, confident, ease to our event while being so professional. They made my daughter feel like the most beautiful bride ever! Communication was a breeze from engagement photos to working alongside our wedding planners. They are an extremely highly skilled and passionate team. We couldn't ask for more. We can see why they were voted the "Best of the Best Knoxville for 2023 Wedding Photographer"
Thank you Zelina Photography Team for capturing the people and moments that are most important to us. 💜

They had a warm and friendly demeanor that made us feel relaxed and comfortable throughout the day. They made sure that every important moment was captured. We have used them multiple time since because they exceed our expectations every time!
