We photograph in both Nashville, Tennessee, and Charleston, South Carolina, and are always available for travel worldwide to document weddings and couples sessions of all kinds.

Our ultimate goal and top priority is providing you with timeless images to treasure for generations. With every session, whether it’s your wedding day, engagement, or anniversary, we aim to bring nothing but positivity, joy, and love. You are the reason we get to do what we love—and it is our deepest honor to serve you on one of the most meaningful days of your life.

Three words are always in the forefront of our minds during any session: intimate, carefree, and classic. These sentiments guide our photography and storytelling approach. Capturing even two of these in a single image creates something truly special—capturing all three is magic.

While photographing, I often use both film and digital cameras, with an emphasis on film. Film requires intention and slows the moment down—allowing us to capture real emotion with depth. Each exposure is precious, and that makes every photo more meaningful. For weddings, we adapt to each moment with the right medium: digital when speed matters, and film when emotion takes the lead.

On your wedding day, my husband and I divide our focus intentionally—he’s typically with the groom and groomsmen, while I’m with the bride and bridesmaids. This purposeful division ensures we capture both sides of the love story with care and precision.

Print products make my photographer heart soar. Whether it’s your favorite engagement shot or a heartfelt wedding portrait, seeing those moments printed brings them to life. With Alex Thornton Photography, we offer heirloom-quality albums and wall art to showcase your love for decades. From coffee table books to elegant framed prints, these pieces are a tangible legacy.

To ensure each image is polished and glowing, we’ve partnered with RetouchMe, a professional image retouching service. Their expertise allows us to subtly enhance your photographs without losing authenticity—perfecting details and elevating every frame while maintaining a natural, timeless look.
