Hi, I am Angela Riggs-Wender.

I graduated from Pellissippi State Community College in Fall of 2019 with my Associates in Photography. I am born and based in Knoxville, Tennessee. When I first started getting into photography, my focus was originally going to be astrophotography, but decided portraiture would be a more feasible route. Don't get me wrong- I will take pictures of the night sky when it is absolutely photo worthy!

One thing you will learn about me through this is honesty.

It's hard to say which kind of photography I love doing the most. Frankly, I am content when I am taking pictures because I don't do them enough! My goal is to do my first wedding. I used to be intimidated on the idea of photographing a wedding. It is such a big day!! It feels like the biggest role, and it felt waaaay out of my expertise. But now, I am so ready.

When you are with me I will start acting goofy, so we can get rid of that awkwardness! I am all about trying to make people laugh whether I am with friends or doing a session. I want you to feel comfortable during our session and have a good time. Plus! I like making you feel good about yourself. You will hear me make noises and comments of how amazing you look in the shot. Nothing excites me more than getting the shot.

Fun facts about me: watch anime (Jujutsu Kaisen, Sailor Moon, Tokyo Ghoul...I could go on forever), macaron connoisseur, lover of stars, (digital) artist, dog mom of a Bloodhound named Fox, married to my best friend, Gudetama fan, matcha drinker.
