NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Nashville Adventures, Nashville’s only veteran owned and operated tour operator, today announced a partnership with JHR Photography, the veteran owned studio founded by former U.S. Army Special Forces Green Beret Jayson Rivas. Together, the two companies have launched the Nashville Mural Photo Tour, a private, professional photography experience that delivers high resolution, professionally edited images at the city’s most iconic murals and hidden photo spots.
The partnership brings together two veteran entrepreneurs with a shared military history. Nashville Adventures founder Paul Whitten and JHR Photography founder Jayson Rivas both served in the United States Army and deployed to the same combat zones. Both now operate veteran owned businesses as part of Nashville’s growing entrepreneurial community.
“Nashville’s tourism market is world class, but there was no professional photography experience built specifically for it. Jayson is one of the best photographers in this city and someone I trust completely. We both served, we came home, and we both chose Nashville to build something. Partnering with him means everything to me. This tour is the best version of what a Nashville photo experience can be, and I could not be more proud of what we have built together.”
Paul Whitten, Founder, Nashville Adventures
The Nashville Mural Photo Tour fills a real gap in Nashville’s visitor market. Unlike group photo walks that leave guests with phone quality images, the experience is completely private and led exclusively by Jayson Rivas using professional equipment. Each session includes expert posing and direction, visits to the city’s best murals and hidden photo spots, and a professionally edited, high resolution digital gallery delivered after the session. Tours run 60 to 90 minutes and are available for bachelorette parties, girls trips, birthday celebrations, engagements, couples, content creators, and friends and family groups.
“The best photos happen when you aren’t thinking about the camera at all. Nashville has incredible places to explore and to create something far beyond snapshots. Our job is to help guests relax, have fun, and look their best, then deliver the photos that prove it. This partnership with Nashville Adventures gives us the right platform to do exactly that in a city that deserves nothing less.”
Jayson Rivas, Founder, JHR Photography
