Thoughtful, documentary-style weddings on digital & film

Cayla Evans Photography

Cayla is a wedding photographer for couples who want their wedding to feel unmistakably theirs, and their photographs to feel the same. She cares about the whole experience, from the people you brought together and the atmosphere you've created to the details you've chosen and the moments you didn't plan. With a relaxed approach and thoughtful direction when it's helpful, Cayla gives couples space to be fully present while paying attention to everything worth remembering. She photographs with both digital and film, and works with couples in Nashville and destinations throughout the US.

In their words

A short interview

What draws you to weddings?

I get to spend my days surrounded by love, joy, and celebration while documenting one of the best days of someone's life. I love that every wedding gives me a front-row seat to something that means so much to the people I'm photographing, and I get to celebrate right alongside them. How could it not be a dream job?

How do you want couples to feel when they experience your work?

I want them to feel immersed in it, like they can step back into their wedding day and truly remember what it was like to be there. I want them to see themselves as they really were, surrounded by the people they love, completely present in a day that probably went by way too quickly. Years later, I hope their photographs can bring all of that back.

Where do you find creative inspiration outside of weddings?

I'm most inspired by being outside and seeing something that takes my breath away. Like mountains, oceans, landscapes, light - all of it sparks something creatively for me. I love seeing a beautiful place and immediately starting to imagine how I could turn that feeling into art.

What are your favorite moments on a wedding day?

The first look is always really special to me because it's so intimate to see the couple taking each other in. But I also love the little in-between moments throughout the day, especially when there's lots of breathing room for couples to just talk, laugh, and really enjoy being with their people. I love getting to be there for all of it, laughing with my couples and feeling trusted enough to be part of their day.

Is there a dream location you'd love to work a wedding in?

I'd love to photograph more weddings along the east coast and in New England. I'm a coastal girl at heart since I'm from Virginia Beach, but I love the mountains too. I'm drawn to locations with a strong sense of place, and I find it so exciting to see a new landscape with fresh eyes and envision all the art we could make there.
