Nashville Luxury Wedding Photographer

EMBRACE · CHERISH · REMEMBER

Timeless, editorial photographs of the moments in between.
The real ones you’ll want back.

Based in Franklin, serving Nashville and destinations around the world.

My name is Brandon Chesbro. I’m a wedding photographer based in Franklin, Tennessee, just south of Nashville. For more than twenty years I've photographed weddings at Nashville's top venues and country clubs, historic estates and churches, in the Smoky Mountains, and at destinations from Mexico to Hawaii.

Martha Stewart Weddings named me one of their Top Wedding Photographers, and couples tell me the same two things afterwards: they saw pure professionalism in me and more importantly, they saw their true selves in the photographs.

My approach is quiet and unhurried. I plan carefully, work calmly on the day, and edit with a restrained, timeless palette so the photographs look as good in thirty years as they do the week they arrive.

MEET BRANDON: A CALM PRESENCE WITH A REFINED EYE

Voted one of the nation's Top Wedding Photographers by Martha Stewart Weddings, I bring two decades of experience to a limited number of weddings each year. That limit is deliberate. It means I know your timeline before the day, I've walked your venue, and I can give your family and guests my full attention.

Planners recommend me because I'm easy to have around; couples remember that their parents were calling me by name by the end of the night. I photograph the formal portraits with care and the rest of the day without interruption, and I deliver a finished, beautifully organized gallery that is simple to share and to archive.

HOW I CAN HELP

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

Full-day and multi-day coverage for weddings across Nashville, Franklin, Brentwood and Middle Tennessee, from the first look to the last dance. A second photographer and an engagement session are included in most collections.

ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY

An hour or two at a place that means something to you, in Nashville or the Tennessee countryside. It's the best way for us to work together before the wedding, and the photographs become your save-the-dates and your walls.

DESTINATION PHOTOGRAPHY

I travel for a handful of weddings each year. Recent destinations include Mexico and Hawaii. Travel is arranged simply, with one fee that covers everything, so you can plan a wedding abroad without a second logistics project.
