The Experience
A wedding day moves fast. My work is to be everywhere it matters — and invisible everywhere it doesn't.
i.

The Conversation

Before anything, we talk. I want to understand who you are together, what your day looks like, and the moments you never want to forget. By the time I arrive, I already know your story.

ii.

The Day

I move quietly through your wedding — reading light, anticipating moments, never staging the ones that should unfold on their own. You'll forget I'm there. That's exactly the point.

iii.

The Gallery

Weeks later, your fully edited gallery arrives — every image finished by hand. Photographs that don't just document your day, but take you right back to it, for years to come.

Investment
Collections begin at $4,500.

Every collection includes full coverage of your day, a private online gallery, and high-resolution images with printing rights. Each is tailored to the scope of your wedding — from intimate ceremonies to full weekend celebrations. I take a limited number of weddings each year, and full pricing is shared upon inquiry.

Lathrop Schmidt, Nashville wedding photographer
The Photographer
I'm Lathrop — and I've never believed a wedding should look like everyone else's.

For years I've photographed couples across Nashville and beyond, and the work I'm proudest of is never the most posed. It's the look between you during the vows. The way the light falls when no one's watching. The quiet seconds that turn out to be everything.

My approach is editorial but never cold — intentional, calm, and built entirely around who you actually are. When you hire me, you get me: at the planning, on the day, and in every frame you receive.
