Hello! My name is Julie Crawford and I am the artist behind Magnolia + Ember. M+E is a self-derived brand sharing my passion for love, travel, and powerful human connections. You cannot expect me to just be your photographer because my approach often leads to great friendships with couples. The goal is to get to know you and your partner on a level that I learn what ignites your senses and use that to light sparks in your pictures. The creative art of being a photographer, holding a piece of time and space, awakens my soul in a way that makes me confident that this is meant for me.

I live at the foot of the Smoky Mountains and have been a wedding photographer for nine years. Although I am based in Tennessee, traveling to your destination is always welcomed. In addition to the wedding venues I have photographed throughout Knoxville, Nashville, and Asheville, I have helped plan and document adventure elopements all over. Let me know the scenery, vibe, and where you are willing to go, and I will take care of the rest.

Licensed to shoot in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park with CUA permit.

Weddings

Wedding photography packages are tailored to fit the needs of each couple and their unique day. All are full-day coverage without the limit of a specific amount of hours. I want to be able to document the entire story - beginning to end. Packages begin with the base and additional options are customizable.

$2950 base package includes:

• All-day coverage (average is 8-10 hours)

• Fully edited, high-resolution digital images

• Personal use printing rights giving the freedom to print at location of choice

• Engraved wood storage box for prints

• Private online gallery for downloading, sharing, and fine-art matte printing

• Support with planning timeline and vendor referrals

optional add-ons:

• Engagement (up to one hour) | $550

• Handcrafted albums | see prices here

• Second photographer | $1100

• Rehearsal dinners + parties | $500/hour

• Guestbook | $350

Prices include weddings in Smoky Mountains and surrounding areas including Knoxville, Nashville, Chattanooga, and Asheville. I am licensed with a valid CUA permit to shoot in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park for your wedding or engagement session.

Elopements

Adventures are my bread and butter! I will work closely with you to plan your dream intimate wedding or elopement. I have climbed 10,000’ peaks with couples, explored hidden caves, hiked miles through a thunderstorm, felt the dramatic rush at the base of waterfalls, and more for the sake of love. Let me know the ideal vibe and where you are willing to go, and I will take care of the rest. You can stay close to home or jet off to a far away land. I believe adventure weddings and intimate elopements should reflect your style and in a destination that speaks to your soul.

Options are endless: We can road trip to the nearest National Park for the day, explore a foreign country, or hike to watch sunrise and play until the sun goes back down. I am open to multi-day adventures too if you have an elaborate thought. I am less about the idea of “let’s show up and take a few quick photos” and more about the depth of an experience.

Most M+E couples opt to book the full-day wedding photography package so we can spend the whole day exploring together, and these packages are available for any day of the week. On a smaller scale, a three-hour package is available for $1450 and valid for Monday through Thursday elopements only.
