The Story Behind Bailey Marie Photos
Hi, I’m Bailey — wedding and lifestyle photographer, sentimental soul, and forever storyteller based just south of Nashville, Tennessee. My heart soars when I get to create in beautiful places across the country — from Coastal New England to the Teton Mountains and Southern California, I love following you wherever your love story leads.
TIMELINE
the
Growing up in Appalachia, I fell in love with sunrises, sunsets, and family trips to national parks. My dad’s camera became my favorite companion for capturing Yellowstone geysers, the Grand Canyon, and more.
Early years
My beloved Canon Rebel — I didn’t know about settings or composition yet, but I knew I loved telling stories through photos.
First Camera
Backyard photo sessions with my sister, shadowing photographers, and hours of YouTube tutorials shaped my skills.
Learning & Growing
Moved to Murfreesboro, TN, finished college at MTSU, and discovered my passion for photographing people.
2017
Launched Bailey Marie Photos after two years of volunteering at church and gaining experience.
2019
60+ weddings and hundreds of sessions later, I’m living my calling — all by God’s grace. My prayer from the beginning has been that as long as this is what I’m meant to do, He will bring me the clients. And He has.
