Celladora Photography was founded in 2010 as a wedding photography brand for couples who find beauty in the details, and in the moments. Our brand of photography highlights a real authentic documentation of the story of each wedding we photograph. Our unique style comes from getting to know each couple on a personal basis so that we can highlight their style and not force them to fit into a cookie cutter mold.
Celladora Photography is a team of Nashville wedding photographers who believe that each couple we photograph is unique and so is the way that we capture their wedding. In addition to the "photojournalistic" style of coverage you see in many of our shots (we like to capture the raw moments and emotions) we make sure to get great captures of the couple with their bridal party and family members at every wedding.
There are many iconic spots in Nashville, TN that make great spots for engagement photo sessions. For some of our couples they want the Nashville skyline in the background of their engagement photo so they can show off their love of music city in their save the dates and engagement announcements. Engagement sessions give us a great opportunity to get to know our couples prior to the wedding day.
Our team of Nashville wedding videographers love to create modern, cinematic wedding films that perfectly capture your wedding day for you to relive over and over. We have you covered whether you are looking for a video of your ceremony only or a complete wedding film with all of the fun and memorable moments from the day.
Congrats on finding someone you love enough that you want to propose to! Now it's time to plan the perfect proposal and make sure that their reaction gets captured. Well you are in luck! You've found Nashville's top proposal photographers. We love capturing proposals and helping making sure everything goes off without a hitch.

If you are looking for an outstanding photography/videography team, Celladora Photography is who you need to book! John and his team were so nice, so available, so calming, just everything we needed in a wedding photographer. He had meetings with us leading up to our day and helped ease our concerns with weather, guest concerns, and the entirety of the day. Now the photos! We are beyond impressed with the quality, the turnout, the amount of photos, again the quality! They went above and beyond for us and we could not be happier. We had a custom package that included video services with raw footage

This is the best photography in Nashville. John and Cara photographed our wedding in September. We absolutely love all of the pictures and they sent them over so timely (we even got a picture preview the very next day after the wedding)! Throughout the whole wedding planning process John was so kind and offered to help in more ways, even outside of photography!! You will not be dissapointed!

John did an absolute amazing job capturing me proposing to my now fiancé. I couldn’t have been happier with how the photos turned out, and with how quick we received the photos (next morning). My fiancé and I were blown away, and I’d use John for any professional photography needs in the future.

John was absolutely amazing in capturing my proposal. I was planning on proposing on a vacation in Nashville with no knowledge of the area, I reached out to john very last minute; he was outstanding with giving many different options and suggestions of places he has done in the past and how to do so. We eventually decided on Arrington Vineyards outside of Nashville and couldn't have asked for a better experience. John was extremely responsive and helpful prior to the day with helpful ideas. It ended up raining that day and we were still able to surprise her while he was taking pictures that came

John did a fantastic job for our proposal photos. He was able to work with me to keep it a surprise until the very end, and the hour-long "mini" photo session after the proposal was most definitely worth it! He definitely knows what he's doing and was able capture some amazing photos. Highly recommend Celladora.

John was absolutely amazing!! We were blown away with his style of direction and the pictures we received. He made taking pictures (something my husband and I are quite awkward at) seem effortless! He was so much fun to work with and was willing to roll with the punches when he decided to get married in the pouring rain. We can't say enough great things about John! We will be referring him to all our friends and families for future weddings and engagements!

John and Cara were absolutely amazing. They were very accommodating, answered all my questions, and helped me craft the proposal that I wanted. They even got there an hour early to help us avoid the rain.
I decided to night proposal on the Seigenthaler Bridge, and it worked out well. The mini-engagement-shoot afterward was well worth it, and John and Cara took us all over to capture the best scenes. A day after the proposal, we received 66 awesome pictures and a short video of the engagement.
I highly recommend Celladora for any proposal or engagement shoots.

My husband and I hired John to capture our COVID wedding dinner celebration with our families at my parents house. He was responsive to our request and was prompt and on time on the day of the event. His demeanor with our family was perfect -- he was kind, easy going, and provided exactly the kind of interaction we needed in order to get our moments captured beautifully. His quality of work was amazing and he sent us our gallery within the expect time frame. I highly recommend him! Thank you John!!
