Hi, I'm Melony Zarick, 

I am so glad you’re here! I’m Melony, a professional Wedding and Portrait Photographer based in Knoxville, TN. Whether you are planning a grand Tennessee wedding, an intimate elopement in the Smoky Mountains, or looking for professional headshots and family portraits, I am here to document your story with intention. 

You only get one shot at your wedding, which is why I believe your peace of mind is just as important as your portraits. My approach is rooted in meticulous organization and a calm, steady presence; long before the walk down the aisle, I work closely with you to craft a seamless timeline and a comprehensive family shot list. By handling the logistics and the 'fine print' ahead of time, I free you up to focus on the human connection of the day, knowing your memories are in professional hands.

I specialize in serving the "camera-shy" couple. My clients often tell me they feel "awkward" in front of a lens, but my goal is to make you feel comfortable, well-taken care of, and entirely at ease. As one recent bride shared, "Melony has an amazing ability to make you feel at ease while having fun... she gave us clear directions and an encouraging energy that made our day special." 

With ten years of experience, I have photographed hundreds of stories across the Southeast, including Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina, Florida, and Virginia. From scouting venue lighting, to providing "WOW" sneak peeks, I am committed to a level of organization that allows you to simply exist and enjoy your day. 

What I Offer: 
* Weddings & Elopements: Documentation for couples who value authentic, unposed moments, yet clear direction. 
* Engagement Sessions: The perfect "warm-up" to help you feel confident before the big day.
* Family portraits: Capturing the beautiful ways your family grows over time.
* Business Headshots: Professional imagery for entrepreneurs and business owners in the Tennessee area. 

There is an art to everything when you slow down and pay attention. I would be honored to pay attention to your story.
