Love! Flowers! Cute couples! Cake! The very reason I love photographing weddings is the beautiful moments between two people committing to each other. All of the other details are just the icing on the cake.

Awarded Best of Zola
I have had the pleasure of working together with Joy on many occasions. I am a wedding florist and I have to say that she is one of my most favorite photographers to work with! She always has a bright smile on her face and she is so fun to work with. I have witnessed first hand how much her couples and their friends and family enjoy having Joy take their photos! You can see their enjoyment in her photos because Joy captures all of the love and emotion from their big day! I have also been lucky enough to be in front of Joy's camera for a family photo shoot and head shots. Joy made me feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera and I absolutely love those photos and I will always cherish them! I recently had the privilege of working together with Joy to plan and organize a styled photo shoot. She was flexible and open to ideas and she also brought such amazing ideas, along with creative vision and an impeccable sense of style to the table! I recommend Joy to as many of my clients as I can. I get so excited when I learn that we will be working on a wedding together! Not only because I enjoy working with her so much and my clients love working with her too, but also because she is very generous and shares her images of my floral designs with me. It is so important for a florist to have beautiful, professional photos for their portfolio and I know that the photos that receive from Joy will be gorgeous photos that are light filled, romantic and classic! Thank you Joy!

One thing I consistently strive to offer is giving a different perspective into a wedding day from start to finish. I tend to see my surroundings in a unique way which gives you those candid documentary moments paired with an editorial approach. Capturing a moment in a style that makes you feel like you are in that environment all over again sensing all of those emotions. Being very detail oriented gives me the opportunity to capture your day in such a way that you’ll feel like you didn’t miss a beat.

Mariah and her team worked diligently throughout the whole day, and ensured the right moments were captured. Honestly the overall efforts put into their work shows through every photograph. They even got us featured on The Knot! Even when things needed to shift unexpectedly, they were able to flawlessly shift with us.

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
Overall I would say Isaac and Love Knot Photography are just what I was hoping to find in a wedding photographer. Someone who is very creative, friendly, organized and experienced. I could totally trust he would see to it that my photos were taken care of in every way possible. The standard photos you would expect at a wedding and unique photos that were original to our seashore location all turned out great! The photos started as we were getting ready. Isaac took some beautiful shots of the wedding dress and important jewelry I was wearing. Abstract moments before the ceremony were a blur in my mind and it was so fun to relive the events through the behind the scenes photos. Isaac and his team got some great photos of all the little ceremonies we had scripted for the ceremony program as well as the games and activities during the reception. Taking different ideas and types of shots for the sunset photos was one of my favorite parts of the day. For me it was a chance to get away from the party for a moment and fun to work with Isaac one on one and see the ideas he had for taking some photographs that will be special forever. During our sparkler grand exit, Isaac was very helpful in organizing our guests. As well as my husband and I. The photos turned out very romantic. Some of my favorites of the whole day. Thank you Isaac and Love Knot!

Heather is amazing!! She was so warm and friendly from our very first call and made us feel so comfortable. Her professionalism shone through in every interaction, but her passion made sure it never felt like she was just doing her job. The day we did our engagement shoot, it was absolutely freezing and we were right on the water. Heather never complained once about the weather, and she made the situation work to our advantage! I hate having my photo taken, and while I was uncomfortable at first, Heather was very patient and soon I felt completely normal. She was able to capture our personalities so well and get amazing shots while never making us feel like she intruded. We loved working with her so much, we wanted to book her for our wedding before we even saw the final shots from the engagement shoot! After seeing the final edits, we knew we had made the right choice. Heather sat with us on a zoom call to go through her top choices from the engagement shoot to get our reactions and feedback, so she can tailor her work for the wedding day to make sure she captures what we want and how we want it. We cannot wait to have her capture our special day!

Awarded Best of Zola
Our wedding at Wave Hill, Bronx, was a total dream, and a massive shoutout goes to Daria for capturing all the magic of our day. Daria's style is like a blend of real-life moments and fashion flair, and our wedding photos could've easily graced any bridal magazine. She or her assistant - Connor, were like flies on the wall! I was impressed that they were always nearby, but blending perfectly with the guests! She was always super professional, always on time, and kept us calm amidst all the wedding chaos. (And we had a very chaotic day, from missing a cake for a cake cut to me (bride) breaking a heel on my shoes) She's got this incredible eye for capturing raw emotions and tiny details that would've otherwise gone unnoticed. Looking at our photos, it's like we're reliving the entire day. During the portrait sessions, Daria worked her magic, giving us tips that made us look and feel like Hollywood stars. We seriously felt like celebrities, and our friends and family can't stop gushing about how amazing we looked. In a nutshell, if you want wedding photos that are fancy yet down-to-earth, Daria from Fall Marigold Photography is the one. She turned our wedding memories into pure magic.

Six years of taking bright, colorful, fun wedding photos in the city has taught me how to deliver a complete gallery of your day told in an artistic, meaningful, and unobtrusive way--because I'm here to document your day, not to direct it. As much as I love taking photos (it's truly my favorite thing in the world!), I believe your wedding is about celebrating all your people being in the same place at the same time + kicking back and enjoying while I make sure all those memories are on camera.

Awarded Best of Zola
Alana and I connected over Instagram shortly after Nick and I got engaged. Over the course of a year, I fell more in love with her shot style, her colors, and just about everything she posted. She and I messaged, liked, and commented so it was nice having as much of a connection as people can have through Instagram before booking. When we decided to book she helped so much with ideas for outfits, time of day, and locations to shoot as well!! When we scheduled our engagement shoot, it worked perfectly to where she could come to our location while she was in Cinci. Day of the shoot, anything that could have gone wrong, went wrong BUT Alana handled everything with such flexibility and ease. We were able to get shots before and after the torrential downpour that forced us to change locations and WE ARE IN LOVE with the photos. I seriously can’t say enough amazing things about her. She makes us even more excited for our wedding just through looking at our engagement photos and the photos she shares on her blog/website/Instagram. Long story short: book her. She’s your girl for all things wedding ❤️❤️

Chicago-based wedding and elopement photographer. I like to make my clients take off their shoes or at least get bare and honest about their love in front of my camera. I love to explore the urban environment with you and make your wedding portraits feel real and true to your life in the city. But I also take any chance I get to drag you to the woods or the beach for some barefoot wedding portraits. Aren’t we so lucky to have those right here in the city!

Awarded Best of Zola
Essi was just phenomenal to work with. You can tell she is very passionate and serious about what she does & it definitely displayed in her work. The entire process from start to finish was seamless. Essi met with my fiance & I twice, once when we first inquired about photography for our wedding and again a month before our big day. A lot of photography agencies and freelancers will just hop on a call or zoom to meet with you, but not Essi. She made it a point to meet with us & get to know us in person. Having never serviced a middle eastern style wedding, she absolutely crushed it! She was so attentive and took her time with us; never rushed us or made us feel like we were just another booking. She got to know us on a personal level and took interest in who we were as a couple. As someone who lost a large deposit to a previous photography agency who outsourced knockoff photographers, I am so incredibly happy I stumbled upon Essi. Her work is simply unmatched, professional and so so sooo beautiful. You will not regret booking with Essi.

Awarded Best of Zola
2020 was a difficult year for many reasons, but weddings were especially tough to make happen in this calendar year. But what made it even more difficult was having to plan 2 different weddings. The first being a 10 month planned wedding in Joshua Tree, California, until we had to cancel it due to COVID in November a month before it was supposed to happen. My now husband and I scrambled to reset for a smaller ceremony in Illinois instead to allow at least his family to attend and have it at his sister's home in Huntley, IL. We only had one month to reset. One of the most important things for us was photography, and although we had spent most of our savings on the cancelled wedding and we had no hope in recovering most of that back or even soon enough to help with the 2nd wedding, we knew we had to put forth the money and make the right choice for a photographer to document our day as best as possible so that our love ones who couldn't make it could experience that day through the right lens. Justin Vaughn of JVaughn Photography LLC was the right lens and so much more! He worked very closely with us via online google meetings, with a minor setback, which was we couldn't have an in person engagement photo session with him (since we were based in Wyoming and wouldn't arrive in Illinois until closer to the ceremony). Justin prefers to complete an engagement photo session, which comes already included in a lot of his packages, before the wedding to get to know us as a couple and make sure we get the shots we prefer. However even without the engagement session, through our online meetings, we were able to discuss who we are and Justin had that personal touch as though we were talking to an old friend. We established the narrative and story telling that we hoped to have for the day. Justin took detailed notes and had a list of shots to take for the day. But his improvisation and artistic eye was also excellent and he captured moments that we had never thought of that were so beautiful and amazing. In addition to the photography he also did minor videography to provide us a highlight reel, which was beyond what we expected! Throughout the day he was also very much a ninja in capturing the right moments beautifully without obstructing the views of guests present. I would recommend him for any photography need, he truly is an artist that captures the moments you wanted and so much more!

From the moment we connected with this amazing duo, we knew it was meant to be. Nicole and Michael showed us the perfect amount of professionalism mixed with the ability to be our friends (even though we did not know each other at all), which made all the difference. We felt extremely comfortable with them during all of the steps leading up to the wedding, which in turn, made our actual wedding day that much more enjoyable. They knew we had a "vision" for our big day that we did not want to compromise, and they lived up to it in ways we could not imagine. It's almost been a year since we said "til death do us part" and we are STILL getting compliments on all of the pictures and the video! I can say that we will be forever grateful to have such an amazing day captured by the best there is.

Hi! I'm Kayla - a traveling Milwaukee wedding photographer - and I'm going to make you cry. Wait, what? Don't worry, not in a bad way. Most of my couples say they cry when receiving their wedding photos from me for the first time. Five, ten, fifty years down the road when you open your wedding album, bet I'll get you again. You'll still be surrounded by your loved ones - remembering the happy tears and laughing until your belly hurts - just as you did on your wedding day.

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

With the day just being insane. There were so many times Kay checked in on me which made me to make sure I was okay, really made me take a breath throughout the day and made me feel special. We did our engagement pictures at a brewery and she was super creative with the pictures. For our wedding day I sent her my Pinterest board and she went for all the pictures I wanted. I’m so excited to see what they all look like. Even her second shooter seemed like she was everywhere. Start to finish the whole process was so easy to work with Kay. With so many vendors having one you vibe with is important and it was all there. 10/10 recommend her, & the team she has.

I cannot express enough gratitude for Sarah's incredible work as our wedding photographer. From start to finish, she exceeded all expectations and left us with memories that will last a lifetime. One of the most remarkable aspects of Sarah's photography is her energy. Throughout the entire day, she remained calm and composed, even as we were consistently behind schedule. As Type A people, my wife and I very much appreciated Sarah's ability to put us at ease and embrace the flow of the day. Sarah's talent shines through in every single photo she captured. Each image is a masterpiece, meticulously edited to perfection. The attention to detail and care she puts into her work is evident in the stunning results. We were blown away by the way she captured the essence of our special day. What sets Sarah apart is her ability to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. This was a crucial trait for us when selecting a photographer, and Sarah crushed it. Her friendly and confident demeanor created a relaxed atmosphere, allowing us to be ourselves and truly enjoy the day. It felt like spending time with a close friend who happened to be an incredibly talented photographer. Sarah's skills go beyond photography. She was basically our wedding planner all day as well. Her organizational skills and attention to detail reassured us that she had everything under control and we were exactly where we needed to be. If you're looking for a wedding photographer who not only captures breathtaking moments but also brings joy to your special day, look no further than Sarah. Her talent and energy make her the perfect choice. We are forever grateful for the memories she captured and the incredible experience she provided.

This team is just incredible. I came in late in the game, no idea what I was doing, just looking for someone to take a couple photos to prove my wedding happened. My budget made me nervous, as a lot of photographers charge a lot more than I could afford (which is totally fair, that’s on my budget, not their prices). MSMP met me with so much kindness, support, and flexibility, and the photos are better than I ever could have dreamed!! My wedding photos went from the biggest source of anxiety to an absolute treasure, I’m so eternally grateful!

Wedding photos and videos document your special day for posterity, but they also capture the beginning of your future together. Let me have the honor of photographing or videoing Chapter One of your happily ever after.

My husband and I had a photographer that had an extenuating circumstance a couple days before our event and Adam came through huge for us! He was incredibly easy to talk to, listened to our vision and ran with it — we were blown away by his incredible creativity, quick action, and kindness. He will support you, get the most amazing shots for you and leave you with beautiful memories to look back on. I’m so grateful for Adam and his team for capturing our event!

I absolutely recommend Lucia for any photography needs - my fiance and I had such a great time during our engagement session. Neither one of us had ever had professional photos taken of us before, so this was new for both of us. Lucia made it feel easy - but most importantly FUN! She was super helpful in picking a location and time that worked best for our needs and style as a couple. She also asked if we had any preference for particular poses, which at the time we didn't, so we followed her lead and absolutely loved the way the photos turned out. We are so excited for our wedding day, and the memories that will be captured beautifully by Lucia.

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!

We had Sam from Windy City Production for our wedding photographer and had the absolute best experience with him! From our consultation meeting to our final end of the night shots, Sam was thoughtful, helpful, and so knowledgeable on everything that we could need and want. Our whole wedding party had so much fun doing our group shots. They weren’t your average stale-looking photos that everyone else has -which we really appreciated. But the absolute BEST part of having Sam was the surprise mini video teaser he set up during our reception of the photos he took earlier that day!! Every single guest was in awe of the video (as were we!) and it just added a little special moment to our wedding that we will always remember.

We couldn’t of picked a better photographer! From our engagement photos to our wedding she has been so sweet, funny and knowledgeable. My husband and I aren’t super photogenic and she makes us feel so comfortable and poses us so well! She comes prepared and makes sure to ask if there’s a certain photo we want, if we’re comfortable etc. For sure our photographer for our life events!
