We are three long time friends: a dreamer, a thinker, and a motivator, who believe in the value of a moment. We believe in seeing the beauty in the details and capturing the memories and moments of life. We would love to create some with you.
Capturing memories and moments of life through photography and videography is our passion at Amber Ridge. We feel honored by all of you who let us create art by letting us journey alongside you and telling your stories.
Your Tennessee-BASED
Wedding photographers & Videographers
Hello! we are
Amber RIdge Productions
Our Style
For 8 years, we have had the privilege of capturing the photos and videos of 100s of weddings, and it's a love affair that we can't get enough of. Our hearts beat for capturing the joy of happy, in-love couples. We are inspired by the little details, stunning backdrops, and above all, the intangible moments that make your wedding day unforgettable.
Our approach is all about creating an environment where you can be yourself, and we can capture the genuine essence of your love story. We don't believe in stiff, staged shots that mimic a Pinterest board. Instead, we strive to document your day in an artistic, authentic way that reflects the emotions and connections that make your relationship unique.
We want to get to know you, and we'll ask you loads of questions to evoke your love story's sweetest moments. We're on the hunt for the candid and unexpected: the unscripted laughs, the unguarded glances, the moments that happen between moments.
Let's embrace the beauty of the unstaged. We believe that windblown hair and slightly dirty dresses only add to the charm of your wedding day. So let's capture it all, the perfect and the imperfect, and create memories that you'll cherish forever.

A Little Behind The Scenes Of
the Amber Ridge Team!
Published
“Over the years we’ve had opportunities to combine two of our loves: photography and traveling. We all crave a good adventure, and nothing beats exploring new places with friends while creating life-long memories. There’s really no place we won’t go!
Our recent favorites include Alaska, Kauai, Zihuatanejo, Mexico, Colorado, the West Coast, Oahu, and the Dominican Republic.”
Alaska
Traveling
We are a crew of long-time friends who have become more like a family. We met in college and have grown closer every year.
Two of the couples have gotten married and one is now a dentist but through it all we have grown this amazing company that we are so blessed to share together.
First and foremost we are best friends.

Our Favorite Things
Amber Ridge Productions just did photography and videography for our wedding. Saying this team is phenomenal doesn’t seem sufficient.
They are so personable, and made the experience fun, while being professional and timely. They kept everyone on schedule and ensured they captured every special moment.
These memories will be cherished for a lifetime and we’re blessed they captured every one of them!

This is an incredible group of photographers! The best decision we made for our wedding by far! We can’t recommend them enough!
Our photos turned out great and they are honestly some of the sweetest people we have ever met!

"This is an incredible group of photographers! The best decision we made for our wedding by far!!"
They were so flexible with us and great at communicating clearly and quickly. We had agreed on Jesse leaving at about 9pm, regardless of whether we had decided to wrap things up at that time.
That evening, the reception went quite a bit later, and we had expected Jesse to still leave at the agreed upon time but he stayed, without us requesting him to, and was able to capture our exit, which ended up being some of my favorite photos! Jesse was so easy to work with and made me and my husband feel so comfortable despite the fact that neither of us enjoy taking photos.
We got out highlight reel the same week of our wedding! Literally cannot say how much we appreciated them and you will NOT regret booking them for your day!

"The pictures were amazing!!"
Jesse and Mary Jo did a tremendous job for our wedding photos! They are timely, kind, respectful, and FUN! The duo was easy to work with in the planning stage and made our wedding day effortless when it came to photography.
You spend a lot of time with your wedding photographer so you also want it to be someone/a team who you feel comfortable with. Jesse and Mary Jo well exceeded our expectations!
I would recommend them without any reservation to anyone who is wanting high quality wedding photos that are taken while having fun and making life easy. They also worked hard to get us access to our wedding gallery in 6 weeks with all fully edited photos. Thank you again, Jesse and Mary Jo for all your hard work and making our special day so memorable!

These guys were AMAZING! Riley and his wife were so easy to work with for our September wedding!
They made sure they paid attention to detail and captured everything exactly as we wanted.
We hired them for videography but wish we would have done photography also! I know they would have done an amazing job with that also. Thank you guys so much!

"These guys were AMAZING!"
I can’t express how blown away we were by our experience with Amber Ridge (photo & video)!! Our pictures were more than we could’ve asked for.
Even before we saw a single photo/video— their awesome personalities & knowledge of ALL THINGS WEDDING made our wedding day even more perfect!!
They actually care about getting every little detailed shot that you ask for and were always quick to respond to my 15 questions!

"We would give them 10 stars if we could!!"
If you're looking for any photography needs, this is the place! My husband and I began our search for a quality photographer for our engagement photos a couple years ago.
We found and booked Amber Ridge based on their previous client work and their reasonable pricing. We wanted to have out engagement photos done at our future wedding venue which happened to be in a state park in just about the middle of nowhere. Jesse and his wife, Mary Jo, were wonderful every step of the way.
The most accommodating people, and they made us feel comfortable! Once we got our engagement photos back, we knew we had to book them for the wedding. Jesse was with us every step of the way and we couldn't have asked for better wedding photos at a reasonable price!
You need to look no further, these are the people you want to book! Thank you Jesse + Amber Ridge Team for making our experience unforgettable!

They were so nice and worked with the hectic wedding day schedule so well. I couldn’t have asked for a better group of people to help capture the love on our special day! The pictures and video exceeded our expectations!"
