This review is way overdue. My wife and I got married in December, and after our honeymoon and getting back into the swing of our busy lives filled with travel and work, I’m finally getting around to writing this. Honestly, choosing KND Photography was the best decision we made for our wedding. From our first chat, both Kinjo and Dawa dai were so attentive to what we wanted in our photos and really understood our style. On the wedding day and during the reception, they made us feel so comfortable and confident. They assured us through their gestures and communication that everything was under control, letting us truly enjoy our day without any worries. Everything did go as smoothly as they promised. We had been worried we wouldn’t have any frame-worthy shots based on past experiences with other photographers. But with KND, we ended up with too many favorites to choose from! It’s the best problem we could have had. I’m forever grateful to KND for capturing our special day. Thank you!

Love Knot Photography

  • Serves Bay City, OR

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.

I'm Val - I value authenticity, connection, and love. I feel so lucky to spend my days photographing weddings, traveling to new places, and witnessing couples sharing their heart. I can’t think of a better way to spend my days. As someone who is married, I deeply understand how significant and special a wedding day truly is. It’s about the love, the people, and all the emotions felt—the moments you’ll cherish and reminisce for decades to come.

Every time I see that a couple has booked Valerie I know the day will not only be captured perfectly but that the experience for us as a venue and the couple will be stress-free. She is always professional and able to let the couple enjoy the day while capturing all the important moments. Speaking to her talent, our assistant planner got married last year and of all the photographers she could have chosen she picked Valerie and of course the pictures were stunning. Just look through her galleries and you will know why she is one of our favorites.

My style is rooted in an editorial approach, allowing me to narrate your unique love story through timeless images that highlight genuine emotions. As your photographer, I bring a heartfelt and genuine perspective, ensuring that your wedding day is portrayed in a way that truly reflects you and preserves the memories you'll cherish forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are so happy we chose Lucia to capture our elopement. Lucia is professional, fast to respond to emails and texts, helpful with decisions, accommodating to any requests, concerns, and excited to give advice. Duncan and I really wanted our photographer to capture our true emotion and to get candids of us, and Lucia DID THAT! The day felt blissful and a key point for us was that we got to enjoy the day without it feeling solely like a photoshoot which I think speaks to Lucias talent and confidence in her craft. She was good at giving guiding advice for posing without us feeling posed. I put together a Pinterest board and shot list which she really did a great job pulling inspiration from. The photos are stunning and the exact style we envisioned. Also, our sneak peak was huge and she got them to us very fast. If you are torn between photographers or are just starting your research, you're in very safe hands to stop here. We hope to continue reaching out to Lucia in the future when we start a family.

Hi! We are the Bryants. We capture love for the offbeat romantics. While we both love photography and videography, Bobbie-Anne is usually the lead photographer with Nicholas as lead videographer. We love connecting with those who are in front of our cameras and building relationships that last. We are inclusive, affirming, and safe for all.

I don’t know what we would do without Bobbie Anne. We first met her when we booked some family photos. We went on to book her for our engagement photos and our wedding. My sister has used her for family photos. And now my brother and sister in law used her for their wedding! Between Bobbie Anne and now Nick, these two couldn’t be a better pair both in life and at work. They are so much fun to work with and truly take the most incredible photos. They will forever and always be our go to photographers.

From the very first interaction, EJ & Sarah's communication was exceptional. They made us feel comfortable and confident every step of the way, ensuring that every detail was covered and that our vision was understood. Their organizational skills were impeccable, leaving us stress-free and able to enjoy our big day. On the wedding day, their team was phenomenal.

The candid moments especially, were some of our favorites. When we received the teaser film and the photos, Meredith and I were left speechless. The quality and artistry of their work are beyond words. Every shot, every frame was beautifully, bringing out the emotions and joy of the day in a way that we will cherish forever. Their passion and dedication were clear in every aspect, from the carefully planned photo setups to the spontaneous video moments they were able to capture.

We love to travel so much that we keep our prices affordable- giving us the opportunity to cover all over the USA (no travel fees). Our most popular package is our Red Carpet which gives our clients up to 10 hours of photo and video coverage, 505+ edits, and 2 wedding videos (with the whole ceremony). Check out our FB or Youtube for HUNDREDS of weddings we shot in the past.

We were so impressed by 505 media and their quick responses and quality of photo/video they took! From the initial phases of planning, they were quick to respond and eager to help in the planning process of making sure timelines were manageable. They were able to capture all of the milestones during the day and were even willing to hop on our party bus when we wanted footage of the wedding party driving around! We were so impressed by how quick the photos were delivered! We received a text while on our honeymoon the week after our wedding that our edited photos were done and one week later we received all our pictures! You don’t hear that often from photography companies! We also watched our wedding video trailer today (which was delivered in less than 2 months from our wedding) and can’t stop watching it! I would recommend 505 media to anyone!!

That way, when you look back on these pictures on your 10th, 30th, 50th wedding anniversary, you'll be reminded of those sweet moments of the most amazing day of your life.

If you are looking for a bubbly, sweet, funny, and down to earth photographer this is your person! She was so sweet and her attention to detail was impeccable. She flowed well with the timeline and took direction well as well as worked through family photos like a boss! Her photos were not what I expected they were sooooo much better.

We had an amazing experience working with the Wickerts for our wedding. Their communication style was professional, welcoming, and attentive throughout the process. They were passionate about capturing beautiful, human moments. As a fellow photographer, I appreciate the beauty of their work; the final images are clear, polished, and rich. We are typically a camera-shy couple, but the Wickerts made us feel comfortable and had us laughing. They did a wonderful job of directing the shoot and incorporating our ideas. We are thrilled with our final photo gallery and highly recommend services. We are working with them again on our wedding!

The most consistent feedback I get from my couples is that I put them at ease. Almost everyone is uncomfortable in front of the camera, but that’s why I’m there — to help you look and feel great creating memories. Your wedding photographer is in your personal space on one of the most emotional days of your life - make sure the person in your corner is someone who adds to the joy on your day. With me, you get someone who can go with the flow, has your back, and seamlessly adapts to the energy in the room.

Working with Jen was one of the best decisions we made for our city hall elopement! She was absolutely incredible throughout the process. Jen was very communicative, easy-going, and kind. On our wedding day, she was well-prepared and immediately put us at ease with her warm and friendly demeanor. We are not the most comfortable in front of the camera, but Jen helped guide and pose us in a way that felt comfortable and effortless. We especially love the candid and real moments she captures. Out photos are truly everything we hoped for and more - stunning and timeless!

She’s got the static shots with family, and the wedding party we needed - but the candid ones are the ones we fell in love with in our portfolio. She is professional and kept communicating with us throughout all the changes leading up to our wedding with the venue issues we had, and went with the flow that day. She made sure she had everything we were looking for, and made our day so simple. She even went along with my maid of honor who decided to play photo stylist at the end of the day!

Based in the PNW, I'm a seasoned photographer with 17+ years crafting love stories through weddings and portraits. Originally from the Bay Area, I've transplanted my roots here but am still drawn back to California often. Photography is my enduring passion, evolving from a creative background in design. Clients cherish the candid moments I freeze in time and value my patience. What sets me apart is not just technical expertise but a personalized boutique experience, from choosing me as your photographer to saying "I do." Immerse yourself in the art of storytelling through my lens, turning your wedding day dreams into timeless memories.

We had booked another photographer whom we were no longer able to get in communication with closer to our wedding and but some luck found Joie who happened to be available on our wedding date! We were so lucky we found her when we did because Joie helped us tie up loose ends on our timeline and gave us ideas on best photo times and scenarios. We were also able to squeeze in a beautiful engagement session in San Francisco. We loved the city but Joie gave us some great insights on where to actually take the photos. On our wedding day, Joie was very thoughtful and made sure to take care of us all day long! We think its amazing that she was able to capture some of the candids that we wouldn't even have thought possible during our ceremony and reception and then gave us some absolutely dreamy sunset portraits! We can't thank Joie enough for the wonderful job that she did capturing our memories but more so than anything, treating us like we were friends and family and making the day feel so natural!

Photographing a couple's love story is something I never take for granted. It is an honor & privilege to create art for my couples. My absolute favorite thing to do is illustrate your love story, your adventure, your favorite memories. Let's create some magic!

Not only did she make us feel incredibly comfortable during the personal shots, but she caught moments in which I was completely unaware of her presence.

Hey all you cute love birds!!! I am a Boise area photographer, BUT I LOVE to travel and would absolutely kill to travel for you! Okay, not literally kill but ya know. I would love love to travel for you! I am a wedding photographer, who specializes in elopements and intimate weddings! Do I still offer more traditional big weddings? HELL YES. My business is all about creating exceptional experiences! I want to make sure your day is so special, and that you get the images of your dreams! I try to stray from the traditional, and go for more fun, unique experiences! If you're looking for that, let's get this party started!!

I had seen Jordan's photos on instagram and fallen in love with their aesthetic. I've been in traditional posed wedding photos as part of the wedding party and family in the past and I just never look like myself in them. I cannot pose and get very self-conscious if I know my picture is being taken. But having candid moments from the day really meant the world to me and that is what really resonated with me in Jordan's style; the documentary feel. Beyond this, there is this incredible eye for lighting and angle and capturing just the right moment that this duo (because it is Jordan and her husband, Trent) brings that I didn't find in any other portfolio I went through when looking for a photographer. She was super patient and understanding when walking me through the process on our introduction and every other subsequent call leading up to the day. We weren't going to be using engagement photos for the traditional announcements, but I had this idea of a wonderful series of photos at this location on the island where we were having the wedding that we could have as kind of our own celebration of our engagement and they were instantly on board and agreed to come out the day before to do those photos at that time. It ended up being a really lovely time for us 4 to bond and get used to each other so I highly recommend doing some kind of engagement photo session even if you're a photo-averse person like myself and the thought of doing more photos seems like the last thing you want to do. Jordan and Trent are so calm and relaxed that it made it really easy to be natural around them. And then on the day they were absolute rockstars. We were, as is surprising to maybe no one but us, running super late and they very gracefully helped manage our extended families and the venue to keep the pressure off us while still getting everything done they could. We showed up to the venue with 20 minutes to the ceremony and we somehow managed to get all our family photos (with toddlers and blended modern family combinations in the mix) and still be only 5 minutes late on the ceremony start. Then we snuck away for sunset photos and that ended up being this absolutely beautiful time we got to spend together during the reception, not awkward at all. And I truly think that's because of how natural and talented this duo are at their jobs. They were like the most lovely and helpful guests at the wedding, truly like having friends who are photographing the day for you. They made the day exactly what I hoped for, this beautiful, cherished time spent with family and friends in a magical place celebrating being all together and I cannot imagine my wedding without them there. I don't have the full album yet, but I do have the engagement photos and an absolutely breathtaking sneak peek of the day and they are so beautiful I almost don't believe it. Hopefully I won't need another wedding photographer (hahahaha) but if I do need family photos for the future they will be my first call.

Hey! I'm Sharlee, an adventure & pet-friendly elopement photographer based in Oregon. I have a background as a vet tech+ I'm an avid lover of hiking, camping, climbing, or anything outside.

Being able to provide you with a fun, enjoyable experience & beautiful images that look like your own piece of art is what makes me beam.

We had a wonderful experience with Unleashed Elopements as our adventure elopement photographer. Sharlee was extremely personable and supportive throughout the planning process (and our unexpected changes of plans!), patiently answering all of our questions. On our big day, she captured breathtaking photos that we will treasure forever. The images are true art and perfectly encapsulate the special details and memories of our special day. We couldn't be happier with how the photos turned out and the entire experience. Unleashed Elopements comes highly recommended for any couple looking for a talented, professional photographer to beautifully document your adventure elopement memories.

We are passionate about photographing kind-hearted people who are unapologetically themselves, and creating a safe and beautiful space in the wedding world for LGBTQ+ folx. Our favorite people to work with believe in giving back to their communities, that black lives always matter, that climate change is you know...real, and choose to embrace their own unique quirks and talents.

When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

If you have the opportunity to work with Rithy, owner of RTFaith photography, you should take it. Rithy did our engagement photos, maternity photos, and wedding photos.
