Hi! I am a digital and film wedding photographer who was created to capture true emotion and turn your lasting memories into art. And I'm so happy you're here! You're right where you belong. Born and based in Tennessee, but I'll be anywhere you are!

I am 26 years old, and the people who know and love me call me Kenz. My goal is to create imagery similar to what I feel when I listen to All Too Well 10 Minute Version (Taylor's Version). Images frozen in time that so clearly illustrate every feeling in that moment between you and the love of your life.


Whether it's been months or decades, when you look at these images, I want you to remember every aspect of it, as if it were yesterday. The way the grass felt between your toes, the wind blowing through your veil, and the connection between you and who you love.      




My inspiration comes from the great love stories- in books, music, and film, and yours is just as great. I can't wait to see what we can create together. 
 

Now I get to travel and do what I love, completely and unabashedly.

I am Makenzie hamilton, a tennessee based photographer, StoryTeller and world traveler.

Inspired By

Welcome to my little corner of the internet! Take your shoes off and stay a while. I can't wait to learn more about you, so let me give you a little more insight into who I am!
I am a wellness lover, certified Swiftie, and reality tv addict. Oh, and you can catch me at Chick-fil-A multiple times a week. I love to exercise whenever I can and I am currently training for my first marathon! But my favorite thing to do is spend time with my husband Lance and our two pups, Max and Ruby. 

Looking back through the memories photography has given us in our relationship over the past decade together, I have realized the importance of preserving moments in time through photos, and that's why I'm here to do the same for you!



If you like raw & honest photos and exploring, I'm your wing-woman.

I believe that the moments you want to remember aren't always perfect or scripted, they are uncut, raw and writhing with emotion.
