About Golightly Studios
Based in Knoxville, TN.
Serving Knoxville, Nashville, Atlanta, Lexington, and nationwide.
Welcome to Golightly Studios!
We’re a husband-and-wife team with a passion for capturing life’s most cherished moments. Our journey together began in 2012 in the most unexpected place—a Walmart film lab, of all places! Jon was working there, saving up for a high-end camera, while Roxy was shopping for a camera bag. A simple exchange of a homemade business card and a shared love for photography turned into a lifelong adventure. Our first date? A photography outing at the Blount County Public Library with our cameras in hand. And from that moment, our journey as photographers truly began.
The Start of Golightly Studios
We officially launched Roxy & Jon Photography in 2014, but in early 2020, we rebranded to Golightly Studios to leave a lasting legacy—one that, who knows, maybe our future children will continue one day. Jon’s photography journey began long before that, from playing with a toy camera as a baby to attending summer film photography camp and later transitioning from landscapes and nature to portraits and weddings.
Our Photography Passion
We specialize in wedding photography storytelling, for us, that means not only truly getting to know our couples and their wedding vision, but also documenting the wedding day in a way that can be enjoyed for generations. But we don’t stop there! We also offer portrait photography, including family portraits, high school senior sessions, and commercial photography, including headshots and corporate events in Knoxville and beyond.
Our Photography Style
Our photography style is modern, stylized, and sophisticated. But above all, it’s tailored to our client's needs. Whether it’s a romantic wedding, an elegant portrait session, or a polished commercial shoot, we create images that reflect your story in the most stunning way possible.
What Sets Us Apart
For weddings and portraits, we believe in a fully personalized experience—from the initial consultation to the final delivery of handcrafted artwork. Every wedding and portrait session includes a reveal celebration, where you’ll enjoy a beautifully designed slideshow and select your favorite images for albums and wall art. We ensure that your memories don’t just live on a screen but become cherished keepsakes.
On the commercial side, we take the time to understand the unique needs of every project. We deliver high-quality, professional images with a fast turnaround of 1-7 days, ensuring that businesses and professionals get exactly what they need when they need it.
Fun Facts About Us
Jon loves Chick-fil-A, has a bicycle-collecting addiction, enjoys Spanish soap operas (even though he doesn’t speak Spanish fluently), and is a jack-of-all-trades with knowledge on the most random subjects.
Roxy is a foodie who dreams of auditioning for Survivor, loves Asian movies, bicycling, Tajín, paddleboarding, and insists on sleeping with her feet out of the covers.
Our dream wedding photography location? Italy!
Funniest wedding moment? That time an inchworm “rappelled” down in front of a couple mid-vows in Atlanta—we captured every hilarious second!
