Love Knot Photography

  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Genoa, IL

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.

Erin Smith Beauty Creations was a joy to work with for my wedding day glam. Erin's communication style is quick, efficient, and easy-going, which helped keep everything organized leading up to the big day. On the wedding day itself, Erin was a calming presence who helped soothe my nerves. She is highly adaptable and made sure I felt comfortable and like myself in the makeup look she created.

Hi! My name is Steve. I do visual storytelling. I’m married with three kids and in my spare time I record music and build things. I've been filming and photographing weddings since 2009. I love travel and getting to know unique couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we reached out to Birchfields, their communication was quick, thorough, and sincere. Their attention to detail and ability to make us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera resulted in exceptional photographs that captured every special moment of our wedding day. Birchfields truly went above and beyond, taking unique angles and perspectives that allowed us to relive the entire day through their stunning imagery. When it’s hard to figure out which photo you want to print out and hang on the wall, you know you picked the right photographer! We could not be happier with the final product and would highly recommend Steve to any couple looking for a talented, professional, and personable wedding photographer.

Moubarak was our videographer on the wedding day. I would like to thank him for taking care of us. He isn’t very talkative but he makes sure to take care of the business. Made it easy for us by the way he direct us. My husband and I aren’t models or ever modeled before make he make sure our video shoot isn’t too scripted, just natural, playful and romantic. If getting married so something you do every month then Raynae Motion will definitely be my go to. The turn around time according to the contrat is 90 days but I received our video in the mail within 3 weeks. Thank you Zola for allowing me to discover this vendor.

With Bloom Culture you can create you own wedding flowers with Confidence. We help you get creative, stay in-control of your wedding budget, and enjoy the most beautiful wedding flowers. We have pre-made DIY Flower Collections or you can get a custom design with our FREE online quote or chat with us one on one for more guidance!

Awarded Best of Zola
I just wanted to reach out finally after our wedding and let you know how in love I was with all our floral decisions! The process was easy, seamless and, with a little help from my friends, a memory maker. I was totally oooo-ing and ahhhhhh-ing opening all the flower boxes after i picked them up! Each box was another wonderful surprise and i was floored with the quality! AND, best part, they lasted for days and being transported in the back of a work van to the Cape for our festivities. I have been highly recommending your business to everyone that asks. I’ve included some of the professional photos in case you wanted to use them on your site, due to file size, I’ll send a second email with additional photos. Again, I’m in love with bloom culture and cannot thank you enough for customized boho beauty your flowers added to our wedding!

Hey, Im Grant. I'm a Madison, WI based wedding photographer who specializes in a documentary approach using both film and digital photography. If you want your wedding gallery to be uniquely yours (vs a Pinterest shotlist), then I'm your guy.

Grant is a skilled, creative, and decisive photographer, but what I feel sets him apart is the care and attention he gives each client. From my conversations with him and the work he shares on social media, it is so evident he puts careful thought into providing the best experience possible for each couple he works with. Bringing him on for your big day is definitely one of the best decisions you can make as you plan your wedding.

I’m a wedding DJ with MicDrop Entertainment. I’ve worked a wedding with SimplyZoom Photography at Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden and they were great to work with! As a DJ I work closely with photographers on the day of weddings to make sure every moment is capture and that we’re all on the same page. SimplyZoom and I worked perfect together and in sync. Even with the high humidity we dealt with that evening! Overall my experience with them was great and I hope I get to work with them again soon.

Hey there- my names Kelly! I started my business in fall 2019 and hit the ground running. I shot about 13 covid weddings in 2020 and have 32 lined up for the rest of 2021. If we're the right fit, I would love to help you plan, sort out your timeline, and be your best friend for the day. I can promise that I will work my butt off for YOU to make sure your day is as special as your love and everything you always dreamed of.

Awarded Best of Zola
We found Kelly through the Zola app. She was so easy to book, and responded extremely fast. We were able to facetime with her, as we live in Baltimore and we were planning our wedding for the suburbs of Chicago. We immediately clicked and I knew that I wanted her for our wedding. She completely picked up on the vibe that I wanted for our photos and was able to show me a TON of examples of weddings that she had photographed. We flew out to have Kelly take engagement pictures for us and the whole process was so fun. We were so nervous but Kelly made us feel so comfortable and we were laughing the entire time. When we got our pictures back I looked at them for weeks because they were so perfect. I didn't think it could get better. As the wedding approached Kelly and I met to solidify the schedule for the wedding. She was so flexible with her time which I was so thankful for as we didn't know what time we were going to start pictures. The whole day was so amazing and Kelly was there to capture the entire thing. She knew our personalities so well and really got them to shine through in the pictures. Kelly sent over the sneak peek of our pictures THE DAY AFTER OUR WEDDING. We never expected to get them so fast!! And they were stunning. The most beautiful pictures I have ever seen. I am so in love with them and somehow they are even better than the engagement pictures. I cannot wait to see the full gallery. We will definitely be using Kelly for future events :) Thank you so much Kelly 3

Sarah was so wonderful to work with, from helping us pick out the location of our wedding photos in Lincoln Park, Chicago, and for the prep meetings prior to make sure she captured all the moments we wanted during our special day. Day of the Wedding, she was ontime, kept us and our entire family on schedule. She was direct with us to help us get the best photos, which helped us capture more moments throughout Lincoln Park and our reception venue. She never wasted a moment to snap photos of our guests and our venue. Very experienced, knows what she is doing and made it effortless after to view photos, family is able to order right from her website directly, and sends you a preview within 48 hours, and for us, it was same day!

We’re so happy we chose Hana to capture our engagement and future wedding photos! She arrived at our engagement shoot location an hour before our time slot just to explore the area and find spots for our shoot. I was so impressed by this and it made us feel like she could take the lead and we could sit back and enjoy the shoot. She was so fun to work with and captured our personalities in a way that looks timeless in the photos - and we’re not that comfortable in front of a camera! She delivered sneak peeks so quickly and they are more beautiful than we could have imagined. We’re so excited to have her capture our big day.

Hey there! Kataryna here. Thanks for checking out my work. I never thought that I would have the opportunity to meet you and everyone else that I have throughout my photography journey. I started photography in high school and fell in love with all that my camera and I could do.

Shortly after graduation, I moved back to the Chicago suburbs and began growing my business. A few years later, and I am extremely grateful for everything I have been able to accomplish. ​

Hi there, I'm Cara! I am based in south central Wisconsin and serve Wisconsin, the midwest, and beyond. I started Cara Ann Photography to capture love stories in their truest form, and with true to color timeless editing your whole story comes to life.

Awarded Best of Zola
I have worked with Cara for MANY years. She has been nothing but kind, professional, timely, and a great communicator. When it came time to pick someone for my wedding, the choice could not have been more clear. Although I have not celebrated my wedding day yet, my engagement shoot and communication with Cara has been a dream. After booking her for our wedding, she helped us put together a timeline for the day, communicated the different options like first looks, and talk us though what we thought we would need. She was also able to recommend videographers. She has continued to go above and beyond. Since my Fiancé and I are currently located in Ohio, time in WI is very limited. I though this would make our engagement shoot difficult to schedule. That was not the case! Cara helped pick the location and scoped it out beforehand to make sure it was perfect. She made sure to fit us in on a Sunday when we were home at 7AM even though she had a wedding the night before! Less than an hour after the shoot we got 5 sneak peak photos. The full gallery was delivered right about 2-3 weeks later! I can not wait for my wedding day and have Cara Ann Photography capture the day and for Cara to be a teammate of the Scherdin/Curry wedding. I first worked with her in 2019 when she shot my then boyfriend and I's anniversary photos. They were incredible and the experience was so fun. She allowed us to play our own music and just be ourselves. After that experience, my family and I have never used a different photographer. She shot both of my brothers senior portraits and my sibling photos. My Fiancé also coordinated with her to do a surprise proposal shoot. She immediately set up an operation to get me in front of the camera under the disguise of a couples styled shoot. When the day came, we had the worst weather. I mean -40 and blizzard. That did not stop her from coming up with plan after plan to make the shoot work. She ended up driving 30 minutes to my parents house at 6pm on December 23rd to capture the special moment, simply out of the kindness of her heart. It was perfect.
