Jessie Watts is a Nashville-based photographer with a passion for storytelling and a passport always at the ready.

Known for her laid-back approach and classic candid style, Jessie specializes in wedding, lifestyle, and branding photography. Her work has been featured in GOOP, Martha Stewart Weddings, BRIDES, and The Wall Street Journal.

With a sharp eye for detail and a heart for authentic connection, Jessie’s portfolio is a love letter to people, places, and the in-between moments that are the heartbeats of the stories she captures. Jessie enjoys putting clients at ease, telling the story of a moment, project, or brand, and making a little magic.  

When she’s not behind the camera, you can find her at the pottery wheel or hollering at any dog who might be in need of some pets.

“I’m a believer in words and their ability to express the beautiful intricacies of life, but there really are none comparable to Jessie’s art.  Jessie was the essence of what we wanted from our photographer.  She melted into the fold of our wedding day, captured it from angles we weren’t even aware existed, and put into photographs the most exquisite, intimate moments between us and our loved ones.  We are reeling over our photos.  Might I also add, she’s tough as hell.  She woke up at sunrise, trodded through the fields and muck with us, and put up with our wild bunch.  It’s a little extra icing that she’s just so darn fun to have around as well.”
