We are Dan and Kelly Watson, a husband and wife photography team based in Nashville, Tennessee. We have been in business for over 10 years and Dan has photographed over 200 weddings. Our goal is to provide you with classic images that will stand the test of time and be cherished forever. We take a limited number of weddings each year in order to give our clients the attention they deserve.
Watson Studios is a wedding, editorial, and commercial photography studio that specializes in natural, classic imagery. We believe photographs have a life outside of the digital world - we love tactile objects like real prints and handmade wedding albums. We shoot both digital and medium format film because each offers unique benefits and characteristics.
As a Nashville wedding photographer, I am known for clean and modern imagery with influences of romanticism and fine art wedding photography. I also strive to produce beautiful candid wedding photography, and dynamic wedding photojournalism.
It is my belief that as a wedding photographer, I am a storyteller, an artist, a photojournalist, a portrait photographer, fashion photographer, product photographer, landscape photographer, event photographer, night photographer, food photographer, family photographer, children's photographer, band photographer, architectural photographer, boutonniere pinner, traffic stopper, and friend.

I'm not here to blast anyone, but rather to give an accurate portrayal of my experience with Watson Studios as a bride. It's super disappointing that the happiest day of my life was captured with many out of focus, blurry, and grainy images. My wedding was beautiful, but the photos taken by Watson Studios doesn’t depict that beauty. The lack of attention to detail in the photos I received was crushing. Flowers were blocking bridesmaid’s faces, eyes were closed, people were looking away, there were awkward gaps between people in posed photos, etc. My gorgeous custom made guest book wasn’t

Dan and Kelly are both so kind and talented, and were a joy to work with. We booked Watson Studios more than a year and a half before our wedding date, and throughout that time they were always responsive to my many questions and thoughts. We could not be happier with our engagement and wedding photos and would highly recommend them for anyone getting married, whether in Nashville or elsewhere!

Having Dan and his lovely wife at our wedding was like having Two more friends there. They are so amazing at what they do. They are not only skilled photographers, but they are so sweet and make you comfortable, which makes it so much easier to get the best shot. They captured the day in such a beautiful way. Everyone looked natural, beautiful, and happy. My husband Has worked in film for almost 30 years and was super impressed by Dan’s eye for composition, light, color, and spontaneity. My husband Casper says with the heat, they were real troopers! (He was Johnny Rico in Starship Troopers and

This is SO long overdue since my husband and I got married a year ago, but I am still marveling at the gorgeous photos Watson Studios did of our wedding. Photography was THE most important thing to me regarding wedding planning, and I couldn't be more pleased. Dan got every special moment. He has a special way of grabbing those moments you don't quite realize are happening on the big day, but that warm your heart with forever memories when you see the photos. The way your groom is gazing at you when you're looking elsewhere, how truly happy you look smiling at your groom, that exact moment you

When we first met with Dan Watson of Watson Studios, we shared with him that our candid, fun and loving shots were the most important to us. He did exactly as we asked. He brought his special talent and professional touch to bear on his work. All of our expectations were exceeded. At our “once in a lifetime” event he captured it all including the ice cream cart, the photo booth, the love train, all of our friends and family dancing until the wee hours of the morning. He perfectly timed the amazing confetti blaster shot showering us at midnight. Each time we look through our photos we relive

Dan and Natalie are absolutely amazing! We could not have picked to better photographers! They are super fun and easy to get along with and they take the most amazing pictures. I am not a huge fan of getting my picture taken and they were so great in making me feel comfortable and made the photographs fun! They designed a great guest book with our engagement pictures and even helped us design our save the date magnet! Basically they rock!!

Will and I had the pleasure of having Dan and Natalie Watson photograph our wedding. They were so easy to work with before the actual event, very quick to respond to email, answer questions, and help us choose the right package for us. We had conversations about the feel Will and I wanted for our wedding and the types of pictures we liked, we did not give them a shot list but totally trusted them, they did not disappoint! On the day of the wedding they were incredibly respectful of our special day and were able to capture beautiful moments without feeling intrusive or being over bearing. We were

Dan and Natalie are fantastic people and photographers!! They were so much fun to work with and make even the most camera-shy couples feel comfortable taking a million pictures on their wedding day! They make a really great husband and wife team, and are able to work together to get the best pictures they possibly can. Dan and Natalie are very professional and take beautiful, natural pictures that aren't over done. Exactly what I wanted! Their work speaks for itself, so be sure to check out their website for proof!
