Love Knot Photography

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.

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.

Leading up to the wedding, they were incredibly thorough, asking all the right questions to ensure they focused on the things that mattered most to us.

Ashley Guice Creative

Ashley Guice Creative is a Phoenix-based luxury wedding photographer with a passion for capturing the beauty of human connection. Since 2017, Ashley Guice has been creating stunning images that blend artistic flair with genuine emotion. With over seven years of experience in photography and a decade-long background in the arts, she brings a unique perspective to every event she covers.

We couldn't be happier with our experience working with Ashley! From start to finish, she was an absolute joy to work with. Her attention to detail and creativity truly brought our vision to life, capturing every moment beautifully. We had an unfortunate cancellation of our original venue, and with our new venue having a completely different look, Ashley was a great thought partner in scouting locations and helping us achieve the look and feel in our photos that we were going for. Despite the challenges of a venue change and the usual wedding planning craziness, Ashley remained positive, resourceful, and was also just down right fun to work with! Ashley is a true artist, dedicated to the artful execution of every detail. Nothing felt cookie-cutter or ordinary—she took the time to understand our vision and how we wanted to remember the day and then actualized it through her artistic lens. I wanted something artful, chic, and elevated but also real, candid, and documentary-style—and Ashley delivered exactly that. She was also fantastic at understanding how we wanted to be photographed throughout the day. More than anything, she made sure our enjoyment of the day was a priority over just "getting the perfect shot," which was crucial for us. We were able to enjoy every moment, and the photos capture that perfectly. Her team was amazing, too! We got to work with two of her assistant photographers, and they were just as supportive and friendly as Ashley. We would recommend AGC to any couple looking for a photography team who is dedicated to capturing the essence of your wedding in a way that feels unique, personal, and meaningful. - L & L

Hey there! 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Diana is incredible to work with! She respects your time and wants to make sure your day is smooth as butter and captures the most magical parts. Not only that, but I witnessed her show love and kindness in minor ways with such a massive impact on her Couple and their friends/family. She is such a kind ball of energy and light. You would be lucky to have her as a vendor on your wedding day, Christmas cards, birth, whatever it is. Consider yourself lucky to know her.

  • Serves Carlsbad, NM for additional fees

My style is rooted in an editorial approach, allowing me to narrate your unique love story through timeless images that highlight genuine emotions. I prioritize unscripted moments, such as the reaction of your spouse as you walk up the aisle, the inside joke that makes you break out in laughter or the tears as your loved ones share thoughtful memories during toasts. These intimate details hold immense significance to me. 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.

I have like 20 years of experience with a camera in my hand, and 7 years since I started shooting weddings full time. Rain or shine we're going to have the best day ever if you choose me to shoot your wedding. I grew up in Vermont and after traveling around and living in several different states I made my way back to Vermont where I posted up and started this wild photo business and I've never been happier to share my talent with you! I can't wait to meet you!

Arielle shot my surprise engagement with my fiancé and she was amazing! She was so easy to communicate with during the lead up/planning process and even shared recommendations for the local Burlington area as we aren’t from there. The day of our engagement ran into some challenges with the Marathon taking place in Burlington that day, but Arielle was amazing even with the last minute changes! She helped us to take advantage of the empty streets and we couldn’t recommend her more!

Jenni and her team did a phenomenal job capturing our wedding day. We felt so comfortable from the moment we first met with her and that definitely translated to how easy it felt taking direction from her for our wedding day photos. Her team took time to get to know us and figure out what we were comfortable with so it felt natural (we're not the most comfortable in front of the camera but somehow she figured out how to get those sweet in the moment shots without it feeling forced!). The photos turned out stunning. From the formal portraits to our mountain top vows to the sweetest candids she captured of me and my dad and my adorable nieces and nephews there’s seriously so many amazing photos to choose from. I also appreciated how organized she was with our formal portrait list keeping it quick and everyone ready to move through those as soon as possible. Cannot recommend her enough. Thank you so much Jenni! We absolutely could not dream of better photos!

Based in the heart of Nashville and journeying with couples worldwide full-time since 2018, I specialize in crafting timeless, low-stress, editorial images and elevated, audio-centric cinematic wedding films. For the free-spirited and the adventurous, for the lovers of art and bold style, your dream wedding memories await. Everyone deserves to have their wedding captured with care, creativity, and kindness. I can't wait to create an amazing experience for you and your partner.

TLDR: she is talented, professional & kind very helpful as someone with limited mobility. Tessa & her team photographed & recorded my wedding last weekend, and they were a dream to work with. I am chronically ill & so I knew on my wedding day I could not be running around to different locations for photos, and Tessa was extremely mindful of that fact & made sure to work within the parameters of what was doable for me. I was worried my limited mobility would mean my photos would be a little boring, but she's already sent a handful of pictures over for a sneak peek & they are GORGEOUS. Tessa is a true professional but also someone who clearly loves what she does, which I think really shows in the quality of her work. Could not be more glad to have had her & her team document my special day! :)

Hey!! Congratulations and I'm so excited you're here! My name's Lissa (pronounced "Lyss-uh") and photographs are my jam! Also my jam? Bright colors, the lamest jokes, floral everything, weird history, and awesome ghost stories. I'm a total mother hen / perpetual big sister and I'm mom to Max, Henry, and Penelope. I love creating. I garden. I sew. I crochet. I design ridiculously cute tee shirts. But most of all? I freaking love creating photographs. A professional photographer since 2011 (eek!), my photographs are bright, happy, and totally meant to hit you in the feels. But most of all? They're a total party!

It was such a pleasure having Lissa as the photographer for our wedding. She has taken several photos for me and my family throughout the years, and each time the photos have always been exactly what we wanted. Her photos are vibrant, full of color, and full of feeling. Lissa was sure to respond quickly to contracts, questions, and provided information in a timely manner. She listened to our desires and concerns, and when needed she provided feedback that helped us feel more comfortable and excited to work with her. She is incredibly easy to work with her. She was flexible with any photo requests that came up in the moment, and she guided and directed us for other shots she felt would turn out well when we weren't sure what to do next. She was professional and courteous to all of our wedding guests and yet always made sure to prioritize our (the bride and groom) desires and time as opposed to the rest of our wedding party. She had a happy, yet focused disposition while working with us. That focus was evident in the BEAUTIFUL pictures she took. She perfectly captured our joy that day. Turnaround time was better than expected, and we couldn't be happier with the results. We have no regrets with our choice of wedding photographer. She's amazing!

I cannot express how much my husband and I appreciated having Heather as our wedding photographer. During our first meeting, she immediately made us feel comfortable being photographed and knew exactly what to do with our inescapable awkwardness. I rarely enjoy looking at a picture of myself, and after our engagement shoot I wanted to show every single person that got caught talking to me. Then came our wedding. Prior to the day, Heather made sure she knew exactly what we were looking for and honestly helped US figure out how our night was going to go. She is truly a professional. On our wedding day, I was so comforted having Heather there as she was herding cats (my family) into beautiful photo after beautiful photo. I felt really heard and understood by her and she gave us exactly what we wanted. I now cannot wait to force feed these images to anyone with a pulse. Don't miss out!

Hi! My name is Bailey and I am the owner of Baileaves Photography. I am a travel and destination wedding photographer based in Portland, Oregon. I travel all over the world to create timeless cinematic images of couples.

We are so grateful to have had Bailey as our wedding photographer. She was very kind, respectful, and professional. My partner and I loved how encouraging and supportive she was. We appreciated how and where she posed us, taking into consideration where the lighting was going, especially since we had many passing clouds affecting the sun exposure. As a result, she got a lot of wonderful pictures with gorgeous dappled lighting and beautiful greenery. She sent us previews of our wedding within 48 hours and she sent us the rest of our photos by the deadline she communicated with us at the beginning. Knowing how awesome our previews turned out, it was no surprise that the rest of our photos also turned out as amazing. We are very happy to have worked with her! Thanks, Bailey!!

My first wedding day to capture was two years after I had started freelancing; a day I will never forget, Valentine's Day, 2014, in Hot Springs, AR. Little did I know how my focus would shift from that day forward. In the past seven years since then, I am honored to have captured more than three-dozen weddings. It never fails that each of those days are full of such unique beauty and character, but most importantly, they are full of loving memories of a lifetime.

I have worked with Jackie many times, but our wedding is one of my favorites. She is so easy to work with, she was so much more than a photographer and helped me throughout the day and was still able to catch THE moments. Our pictures were perfect.

Every person has their own beauty and truth. I see it, understand it, then reveal it through my portraits. I search for the play of light and shadow to carve the image and tell the story of the day... your day... Your story.

SeaInk is our favorite photographer to work with! Hash is amazingly talented, and we always are eager for a photo gallery from a wedding with him. He is sure to capture all of the floral details that can sometimes be overlooked, and is so valuable for us, as florists to have. The experience in advance of working with him is also seamless. As a vendor, we are happy to see their photo timeline in advance of the day, and when working a styled shoot with him, the moodboards are dreamy, and executed exactly as we hoped for! The most valuable thing to see, is the true-to-life tones in the final imagery that are edited in an elevated way -- our favorite wedding photos are always from SeaInk.

I’m a New York raised / Alaska braised 5’0″ multi-passionate, photographer and filmmaker – I can appreciate the grit of a city, but I also have a small-town heart.

I believe in celebrating family & friends, NY pizza, actin’ a fool, editing my photos to candid perfection (mostly this), and skipping the small talk.

Before we booked Megan for our wedding, we were on the fence about a videographer. We set up a call and after talking to Megan for almost an hour she truly understood our vision for our wedding and it was a no brainer that we needed to work with her. Megan was such a pleasure to work with and her creative energy and empath nature shined through. Megan was a strong communicator throughout the process of planning our wedding and the day of. And, our wedding video came out AMAZING! If you want someone to perfectly capture the emotion and energy of your wedding day for you to re-watch for years to come - Megan is your girl!!

I’m known for documenting candid moments in a bright and vibrant way. I love capturing and creating narratives from start to finish - being a wedding photographer and videographer is the ultimate storytelling experience, and it’s one of my greatest joys. Weddings feel like home to me. I’ve found that it’s hard for me to stop smiling throughout the day, and even afterward, during the editing process. There’s just something about weddings that gets my heart all aflutter.

Ashley is awesome, easy to get ahold of when needed, she organized all the people who needed to be in photos very well, and got some amazing shots!
