Rachel Perkins:
Owner/Videographer/Editor
I fell in love with creativity early in life. I began making videos back in 2007. I started by creating and editing short videos for each trip that I went on, middle school dance, or day I wanted to remember forever. The first wedding that I filmed was for my sister in May of 2015. The video was short and sweet. Every time that I would rewatch the it - it brought back feelings of joy, excitement, and love (and a whole lot of tears). I wanted to share this with others.
That was when videography became a passion. Creating a way to document memories is priceless. In October of 2015 I formed an LLC called "Along With You". I was the only one on the team and had to start from the ground up, I am so thankful that this passion has become a full time job. My favorite part of being a professional videographer is to meet up with couples and get to know them. I strive to show their personalities by creating a completely customized video for each couple. Our team focuses on catching the "real moments" throughout their big day by documenting each hug, tear, and laugh.
I'm a twenty something living over in Nashville, Tennessee. I have a degree in entrepreneurship and design, but I am self taught with video work. My family is made up of me and my golden doodle pup and we live in a yellow, pink, and purple 100 year old Victorian home. I drink way too much coffee and have way too many planners. I spend way too many hours filming and editing, because I absolutely love my job! I work with the sweetest and best couples around. Let's grab coffee and chat!

Photographer
Being a photographer wasn’t a childhood dream. It wasn’t even my early 20’s adult dream. Because I didn’t believe back then what I believe now. that your dream can become your reality (I know, I know, cliché) ... but after meeting my husband and finding who I was outside of being a wife, mother, employee, and volleyball coach... I found out exactly what I was meant to do in life, photography.
My goal in life and in my business to be exactly who I am, exuding the passion and love I have for photography into an unforgettable client experience. I have been on the other side, as a bride, and I know photography is more than just creating beautiful images, it is capturing and preserving one of the most special days of your LIFE! So, I want to get to know the real you, why you fell in love, your story, and discuss all the fun details of YOUR wedding day. Preferably over a glass a wine, but regardless of your drink of choice, I would be honored to get to know you and be your wedding photographer :)
I am a huge sports fanatic! I played collegiate volleyball and earned my BS in Exercise Science at Carson Newman University. After completing my degree, I moved back to Middle Tennessee to be closer to my family. Currently, I live in Murfreesboro, TN (South of Nashville) with my better half, Lance, 1 human kid, Paislee, and 2 canine kids, Abby & Lucy. And I wouldn’t trade this life for anything!
Jesse True
Lead Videographer
Hello! My name is Jesse True.. I've been a native to Nashville, TN my whole life and have a background in audio engineering, graphic design, and photography. My passion for filming was realized when I found out I could combine all three elements into one.
My skills as a videographer and editor have grown over the years by working with award-winning directors and editors, musicians, audio engineers, graphic designers and many wonderful wedding couples. I recently married the love of my life, Noel (yes, like christmas), and have formed a wedding videography team with her! We love traveling and adventures, watching new movies and hanging out with our sweet puppy Nova.
Sam DeSantis
Photographer
I’m Sam!
I’m a full-time photographer, and a full-time dog lover. I spend the majority of my time hanging out with my pups, making food, and editing photos. I take photos all the time, of everything, and I love every second of it. I started when I was thirteen, photographing anything I could. That led me to start blogging about everything I was documenting. It wasn't long before people began asking me to take photos for them.
I wasn't aware yet that I wanted to shoot weddings, but my friend asked me to shoot her wedding and I absolutely fell in love. It happened very organically and I’m so glad it did. I love being able to capture such an important day for people. There’s something magical about sharing such a momentous life event with the families.
I believe photos are meant to make you feel nostalgic and take you back to that moment in time. I aim for the unscripted, raw, genuine moments (and the beautiful posed ones too, of course!) I always take as many photos as I can. The more moments captured, the more easily you can recall and piece together the memory.
I love to meet up with the engaged couples for coffee or drinks prior to their big day so we can talk details on all things wedding related. I also love sharing pinterest boards with brides so I can really observe and discover their vision!
I recently moved to Nashville from my hometown of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I am so excited to work with Rachel and her crew and I can't wait to dive into the Nashville wedding scene!
Chris Kalbaugh:
Videographer
Ever since I was young, I’ve always had a camera in my hands. I started out making home movies on my grandparents’ cassette camera, trying my best to imitate the techniques that I saw in feature films.
As I got older, my passion for video grew stronger and I recorded everything I did from music progression to activism. Realizing the effectiveness of video in conveying messages and evoking emotion, I decided to sharpen my skills further and use this outlet of creativity to make a living.
After graduating with a degree in video production, I teamed up with Rachel to produce beautiful and cinematic wedding videos that would be cherished forever. For every wedding day that I shoot, I invest every ounce of my emotion and creativity to ensure that each creation will be timeless and unique. I look forward to capturing your wedding day!
RK (Rachel) Deeb:
Photographer/Designer
I have always believed that my purpose in life is to help people, though I wasn't always sure what that looked like. A few years, life lessons, and office jobs later, I realized I could use one passion to fulfill the other, using my creativity to make the visions of others come to life.
I love designing graphics for those who trust me with their vision. I love capturing moments and making people feel their best through my photos. I love drawing custom designs for clients and seeing them come to life. I love using social media and turning it into something that can completely move you as a brand or an individual.
To give you a little breakdown of my skill set, I am a full-time photographer who shoots lifestyle, wedding, music, fashion, fitness, and landscape photography. I am an artist, both in graphic and geometric design, who has created original pieces that can be found in a number of stores and locations around Nashville. I am a social media strategist who manages accounts to build an impressive online image and presence.
I can also balance two forks on two toothpicks, but we can talk about that in more detail over a margarita.
If you enjoy tacos and hot sauce as much as I do, we will get along great. And that is just the beginning.
Let's create something awesome together.
