“The Talented Photographer was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, Alec's communication style was fun, professional, and incredibly personable. He had a true passion for his craft that shone through in every interaction. The quality of Alec's work was absolutely stunning - we got a wonderful variety of candids, formal shots, and editorial-style pictures that captured all the special moments of our day.

“As a bridesmaid I was running around a lot and didn’t even notice half the stuff happening that day. But the photos and the video showed me EVERYTHING. The joy in every shot is just unreal. I laughed seeing myself making dumb faces in the background, and I cried watching the vows again. The editing of the video is sooo good, it feels smooth like a movie. They didn’t just focus on the couple either, they made sure to include the friends and family too which makes it even more special. The bride and groom look stunning but also so natural, like themselves. I’ve been sharing the photos nonstop because they’re too good not to. I’ll always be thankful they gave my best friend these memories.”

Love Knot Photography

  • Serves Altoona, IA

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
“We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.”

Every wedding has its own rhythm. I'm inspired by the way a great film makes you feel like you're actually inside the story — the anticipation before something happens, the quiet moments between people, the movement, the atmosphere, and the unexpected frames you could never have planned. I photograph weddings with that same instinct, moving with what's already unfolding rather than forcing the day into a shot list or manufacturing moments. The images move between digital capture and authentic 35mm and medium-format film, giving each moment the rendering that suits it best — creating photographs that feel like frames from a film you happened to live inside.

Awarded Best of Zola
“After our first photographer fell through, we found Caz and luckily he happened to be available on our wedding date. From the very first contact, he was incredibly responsive (super important to us), friendly and professional. His work looked great so we were excited - then we found out he was featured in Vogue! We were stoked. He was amazing to work with on the wedding day - punctual, friendly, got all the requested shots, and the whole bridal party loved him. We got our pictures back today - and they’re so much better than we could have dreamed of. It’s no wonder he was featured in Vogue - his work is artistic, candid, and beautiful. Thank you Caz for giving us such beautiful memories so we can relive the best day of our lives.”

Jenna DeVille Photo + Film is rooted in documenting weddings exactly as they felt - not just how they looked. My approach blends documentary storytelling with romantic, editorial imagery to capture the quiet in-between moments, the big emotions, and all of the beautifully imperfect pieces that make your day yours. I want your photographs to feel nostalgic, honest, and timeless - the kind you'll look back on years from now and immediately remember what it felt like to be there.

“We had the privilege of having Jenna as our photographer for our engagement pictures, my bridal pictures, and my wedding on 9/12/26 and I could not be happier with the choices we made! Jenna is so much more than just a photographer; she was quite literally my backbone throughout the entire wedding planning process. From our engagement and bridal sessions to the wedding day itself, her work is breathtaking, but it is her heart and dedication that truly set her apart. She has an incredible ability to dissolve stress, even handling unexpected moments like removing a huge stain from my dress as if it were nothing at all. Not to mention her excitement shows in her turn around time, after my bridal session I received sneak peaks by the next afternoon! She has such a talent for capturing every moment perfectly creating pictures we will love for a life time. She has made my wedding something I could relax and enjoy rather than being stress. She willingly helped with so many “small” things to keep my day as smooth as possible. If you want someone who will do WHATEVER is necessary to make the brides day perfect, trust me she is your girl! I mean honestly, go look at her facebook to see the AMAZING work she does!! Beyond her talent behind the lens, she stepped in to manage my entire wedding timeline and supported me in countless other ways that I can't even fully express. It is so evident how much she loves her job, not just in the stunning photos she captures, but in her positive attitude and the way she carries herself. She is a complete professional and a wonderful human being who truly deserves the world. I cannot recommend her highly enough!”

Hi! We are Kurt and Madeline Drummond. We are a husband and wife team who are hopeless romantics and love capturing other's love stories. We met on Tinder, yes you read that correctly. When we aren't photographing or filming weddings we are snuggled up with our son Brooks and our dog Oliver watching a movie or bellied up to the bar at Texas Roadhouse. 😊

“Working with The Proper Collective was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From start to finish, they were the easiest people to collaborate with.. whatever we wanted, they made happen. Their photos turned out incredible, and we are beyond grateful for how they captured every moment of our day. What really set them apart was their willingness to go above and beyond throughout the entire process. They made us feel like our vision mattered, and that care showed in every detail from planning through the final reception shot. We honestly cannot recommend them enough.”

Since you are trusting me to capture these special moments in your life, I figured you should probably know a bit about me, right? I am a Huntsville, Alabama native, but moved to Nashville after graduating from the University of Alabama in 2013. ROLL TIDE! Although I consider Nashville home, I am anything but a homebody. I love traveling and exploring new places (especially the food at those places!). I even studied abroad in Italy, which let me tell you, was a food lover's dream. I have always felt like an old soul trapped in a millennial’s body. I would rather listen to Frank Sinatra than anything on the radio today.

“Diana Marie Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding day. From the very beginning, Diana's communication style was open, professional, and timely - she was always checking in to make sure our day was going as we had imagined. The quality of her work is truly exceptional, with a clean, timeless, and emotional style that captured all the special moments beautifully. Diana knows the importance behind wedding photos - they aren't just a social media dump, but rather the memories we'll cherish for years to come. She reminded us to take in the little things, and that thoughtfulness really shines through in the final product. We couldn't recommend Diana Marie Photography enough for any couple looking for a talented, dedicated photographer to document their big day.”

Soul Stories is our passion project in the truest sense, it was born out of a love for the moments words can’t quite hold — the quiet glances, the laughter between vows, the way love feels when it’s seen rather than said. By day, Sena (lead photographer) is a nurse and Shelton (lead photographer) works in cybersecurity — and as a couple, photo and video has always been the way we remember and cherish life. Documenting love, celebration, and the moments that matter most is something we've always done naturally. We simply decided to share that gift with others.

Awarded Best of Zola
“I cannot truly put into words how amazing our experience with Sena and Shelton was for our wedding. They were extremely supportive, helpful, adaptable, and kind throughout our entire wedding day. They took time out of their day to scope out perfect photo spots ahead of time. In moments where I was anxious, Sena jumped in to settle me down and support me. She touched up my makeup when needed without question. Shelton was extremely helpful in finding solutions to any small problems that came up and always was uplifting our entire wedding party. They capture true genuine moments that feel like a story and they make the day so special and fun. Their work is absolutely stunning and we are amazed with the photos. I will forever run back to them for any photography needs and as a friend! I couldn’t have made it through the big day without them. Will always recommend them to anyone!”
