Fiona Battersby Photography

I've had a debilitating fear of forgetting for as long as I can remember. forgetting the aroma of my childhood home, how to travel around my favorite city, or how a certain age made me feel. A therapist would undoubtedly have a lot to say about that. Yet, I discovered that through photography, I could lessen my anxiety of forgetting. Because of this, for the majority of my life, I've been the buddy group member who has a camera plastered to her face and is furiously taking pictures to capture the moments and emotions. I feel more at ease knowing that I don't have to rely on my unreliable memory when a moment is captured in a photograph. I can simply "be." That's what you'll get with my photography Jackson Durham Events. The days leading up to weddings are filled with intense feelings, including happiness, worry, relief, dread, nostalgia, grief, and enthusiasm. I am a big believer that the images that follow will be more significant than any staged portrait we could create if you really allow yourself to feel the entire gamut of emotions and if you really let yourself to be present with your folks. Yes, I want to capture your unique love story in beautiful photographs, but more than that, I want you to feel at ease, content, and beautiful. Since it is. Although I'm located in Nashville, you might say I'm a Tennessee girl as I was born and raised in Chattanooga and attended college in Memphis. Although I'm located in Nashville, Tennessee, my work has me around the world to capture love wherever it is. I use both of my passports because I have dual citizenship in the US and Ireland. In addition, I love cold beaches, craft drinks, combat boots, early 2000s pop punk, and thrift shops. I prefer an old fashioned in the evening and an iced coffee in the morning. I despise podcasts, adore long layovers, and swear like a sailor. I'll make an effort to control my expletives around your grandmother, but I can't make any guarantees.
