This couple photographer team was simply amazing. They were fun and put everyone at ease while taking beautiful photos. I’ve only gotten my sneak peek pictures, but I am in awe with how beautiful they made my entire family and wedding party look. They also did a great job getting candid pics of the bridesmaids and groomsmen’s getting ready as well as fun pictures at the reception. All the photos of the actual ceremony and posed pictures with family look amazing as well. I would absolutely recommend this team to anybody looking. A

Charleston, SC

As a wife and recent Bride, I constantly look back at my wedding day gallery from my photographer. I would say at least once every couple of months! What I love about my wedding photos is that I can remember the day just by looking at those photos. I want that for YOU!

Awarded Best of Zola
Our experience with Ashlyn and Sea and Shea was amazing from start to finish! Ashlyn from the booking process through delivery of our edited wedding photos has been a joy to work with. Our time has been so great with Ashlyn and her fun and bubbly personality really keeps the long days of photos light and carefree. We were kind of against doing engagement photos but after a couple of hours running around downtown Charleston and really getting to know her and feel more comfortable in front of the camera it did help tremendously on wedding day. Also, our engagement photos turned out AMAZING! Day of wedding, Ashlyn and her team were professional and on top of it. She got all the shots I wanted and more and our end result photos could not have turned out more perfect :) we are still in awe at the results. Not only do you get an amazing photographer and great photos but she is reasonably priced as well, perfect combination! 10/10 recommend! Now our problem is we found over 500 photos to get printed and put around our house, which is a little excessive but they are all so good we can't decide.

Franzi Annika Photography 

5.0

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $8,999
  • Serves Charleston, SC

Welcome to Franzi Annika Photography, where elegance meets the artistry of visual storytelling. We are Franzi and Martin – a husband-wife duo. While our European roots shape our style, our dedication to the art of photography is what guides us. Through our in-the-moment, meticulous focus on the finer details, we create a collection of genuine narratives preserved on film. These photographs will continue to reflect the emotional depth of your celebration for generations to come.

You won’t find photographers more skilled or personable than Franzi and Martin! They photographed our engagement in Charleston, SC, rehearsal dinner and wedding in Boston, MA. We cannot recommend them highly enough for your next engagement session, wedding, or event! Working with them was a dream and we feel so lucky to have met them. First, if you took all the photography away, Franzi and Martin will enhance your wedding day just by being a part of it. They are warm, funny and fit right in with the gals/guys and families. They also got along and coordinated so well with our venue, floral designer and planner - everyone loved working with them. We all felt so comfortable around them and this is reflected in the natural, beautiful photos. They are also incredibly professional, prepared and organized. The morning of the wedding, they had already scouted and planned all of the locations for the first look, family and bridal party photos, and husband/wife shots. We didn’t have to do or think about a thing in terms of photos the entire day - we just followed their lead! During the ceremony and reception, they were so subtle in taking their photos. We were able to enjoy the day without it feeling like a photoshoot. The photos were simply stunning. We have gotten so many compliments on how unique and personal our photos are. Most importantly, they feel like us, because Franzi and Martin got to know us throughout this process. We had such a hard time putting together an album because we had too many favorites to choose from! One of the guiding values for choosing our wedding vendors was to find true artists who are passionate about their craft and then trust them to work their magic. Franzi and Martin are just that - artists. We wanted them to have complete creative control and freedom and would encourage everyone who works with them to do the same - your photos will be gorgeous, and your wedding day memories will be made better because Franzi and Martin were there.

For a very long time, I shot as only a hobbyist. I enjoy beautiful images. I enjoy the creative outlet. I enjoy people and their stories. But, when I finally decided to leap into photography professionally, I discovered passion. Capturing your day is truly my passion! When I'm not shooting, I think about shooting and shots I want to try. You deserve someone as passionate about your story as you are for each other.

I needed headshots for my new business and she was so hands on. She assisted in the location based on my vibe and asked questions to really understand what I was looking for. I was impressed by her attention to detail with my outfit choices even down to jewelry. She has a great eye and I love my final result! She’s also just a sweet human who will ease your mind, it’s like a friend taking your photo:) I would recommend 10/10!

We could not have asked for a better photographer to capture our day. Josh went above and beyond, driving several hours to our venue, and finding opportunities for us to take unique photos, that captured the essence of our day. Looking back, even a year later, I remember exactly what it felt like, that day, thanks to the images that Josh captured. He is so amazing and talented, you not regret booking him to capture your day!

Intimate wedding photographer originally from the coast of VA, but now based in the North Georgia Mountains & love finding new adventures while exploring the outdoors. When I am not hidden behind my camera, you can find me hiking up a new mountain with my fur babies, eating tacos, or spending quality time with my little family. I started out capturing families, then realized that my heart is completely drawn to love & the bond that two people share. I describe my photography as bold, intimate & sincere. I enjoy capturing the small, yet sometimes unseen gestures & reactions as well as the pure romance between two people on their wedding day.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Isaac came recommended from a friend who did their engagement and wedding photos with him. We were also fortunate to have done our proposal, engagement and wedding photos with Isaac! He is so professional and comfortable to be around. My husband and I dont usually like to take photos, because we are self conscious, but Isaac took care of us. I am so grateful we came across LoveKnot and will always highly recommend them for anyone's special occasion.

Hey there! We are Hellen + Rafael and we are the photographer and videographer behind the lens! We have been married for 5 years and we love doing life together! That is why we joined our forces 5 years ago to create Hellen Oliveira Photography. We have a passion for capturing your special moments and making them last a lifetime! We are in Atlanta, GA - but we love to travel and will go anywhere to tell a good love story! Get to know us better and say hi!

My mom made the initial contact with Hellen during the beginning stages of wedding planning. My fiancé and I live in another state,so we relied heavily on my mom’s investigation. In looking over Hellen’s work prior to meeting her, we were just in awe. Everything was so beautifully presented and so artfully edited. Her talent just left from the page. Tommy and i had an initial get to know you phone call, which was amazing. Hellen really took the time to learn about us, our personalities, and our wedding photo desires. She takes the relationship with her clients very seriously, which i later understood why this is so unique and important on your wedding day. We booked Hellen for every aspect of our wedding season- engagement photos all the way through the big day. Our wedding was an entire weekend; welcome party, rehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception. We opted to book Hellen for the every event of the weekend along with here his and to do videography(a drone no less). These two are an amazing team. The love they have for each other and the passion they have for photography made our weekend perfect. Hellen listened to every thought I had with regards to photos I really wanted, she walked us through how everything would go, and was so patient with us every step of the way. Our wedding theme was a unique mixture of things we love with a lot of very intentional details, and Hellen captured every thoughtful aspect of our wedding theme beautifully. Tommy and I look forward to continuing our relationship with Hellen for all of the future events in our lives. MacKenzie Ewing (now Hutchins) June 2024 Bride, Atlanta Georgia

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. Alec has an incredible eye for the right shots, and the final photos are absolutely gorgeous. Despite a complicated location schedule that I was worried about, Alec made the whole day seamless, traveling to over 4 different spots to ensure we got all the groupings and special shots we wanted.

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!

  • Serves Charleston, SC

I pour my heart into every photo I take, blending a classic style with a unique touch. People inspire the stories I tell, and to truly understand a story, you need to know the people behind it. Each person brings a fresh perspective on love and life. Without the wonderful individuals in front of my lens, my photos lose their meaning and authenticity. I’m here to not just capture your story, but to tell it beautifully. That’s why I love photography.

Jordan went above and beyond from the moment we booked her. She made us feel so at ease during our engagement photos but still made sure we had a ton of fun and our pictures truly represented us. On our wedding day she was truly amazing and continued to go above and beyond her normal photographer duties by helping to wrangle family members, being flexible and accommodating to our desires and keeping us calm when an ambulance showed up to the party (everything turned out to be okay!). She is very organized, an amazing communicator, and has a great turnaround time. Our gallery was absolutely STUNNING! She captured every moment perfectly and in a way that was classy and timeless. So please, if you want the best, HIRE HER NOW!! *Photo included to show how fun she is to work with :)

She has been incredibly kind and caring, even taking the time to reach out to us after we were hit by Helene. Her work is beautiful!! She was willing to adapt to the different styles we were wanting to try out for our pictures, and we were so, so pleased by every single photo. She was extremely communicative, punctual, and somebody we felt like we could trust throughout the craziness of getting married. She was worth every. single. penny!
