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

It is important to find someone whose work you LOVE — but I also believe that it is just as important to find someone who will bring out the best of who you are within those photos. My favorite quote from Annie Leibovitz is “a thing that you see in my pictures is that I was not afraid to fall in love with these people.” This resonates with every aspect of what I believe in. I find it important to get to know you, find out who you are and what you both are to each other. Photography is my passion — I will never give you anything but my all.

Our dream to pursue photography professionally began with our trip to Alaska. We bought our first “real” camera and lens in preparation, with the hopes of getting some great wildlife portraits in the backcountry of Denali National Park. We enjoy getting to know new people and spending time outdoors in unique locations, capturing the natural moments of people in love and the faces that your friends and families see every day. We love what we do for one simple reason, we love being around people who are as much in love as we are. Yes, we know that was a lot of loves, but that’s what it’s all about.

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!

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.

Hannah truly is a total package. She is the sweetest human, best photographer, and the best person to keep your head on straight during your wedding. We had an amazing experience from the first few message exchanges. We had a beautiful engagement shoot and an even more beautiful wedding. All of the images we got truly reflect the absolute joy we felt on those special days. On my wedding day Hannah really was more than my photographer. She helped keep me calm, keep me on schedule, and even put together a last minute boutonnière for my dad when my venue messed up and didn’t make enough. To say we were thrilled and in love with our pictures and experience truly is an understatement. We can’t wait to have Hannah capture other events in our life and you should definitely book her for your special events as well!

He is absolutely kind, energetic, and professional throughout both of our shoots. ( we loved our engagement session so much we booked him right away for our wedding ! ) The photos and video came out beyond our wildest dreams. For two people who don't love being in front of the camera, I don't know how he does what he does. I never felt overly aware of the camera or like I was being posed. Yet somehow he pulled off the most amazing and epic photos and final video! Almost unbelievable. 10/10 recommend. The best around!

I never thought I would be a wedding photographer. I started my professional career in Boulder, Colorado, riding on the backs of motorcycles, chasing professional cyclists through winding roads and epic climbs. I never thought I would find another career as exhilarating and rewarding but I was wrong. I photographed weddings in Colorado, but it wasn’t until moving East, to Charlottesville, Virginia, that I fell in love with them. I love all of the beauty of the flowers and the pretty clothing, but what I love most is documenting the love between the two of you, and the complete joy of your best day ever. We celebrate all couples!

What can I say about Beth that will adequately capture how incredible she is? She is a phenomenal photographer and human being alike. We initially reached out to her based on a recommendation from a friend. Although she had already been fully booked for the year, she was available on our date and offered to take us on. She is responsive, kind, and was very helpful throughout our planning process. Her questionnaires are very detailed, and you know exactly what to expect from her in terms of her contract and deliverables. Our engagement photos (part of the wedding package!) were fantastic. Not only were the photos gorgeous, but she was so easy to work with. She is great at making you feel comfortable and natural. She is also SO FUN! She will be down for anything you want to try. If you want someone who can capture your unique spirit and flair, she is the best choice. Prior to our wedding day, she had a call with us to make sure she was optimally prepared for the day. And prepared she was. She was on top of it at all times. So many people approached us to say how wonderful she and her second shooter were. Incredibly, within 12 hours of the wedding's end, we had a preview gallery of 99 photos ready to view. Unbelievable! The photos are GORGEOUS. Words cannot capture. So many people have reached out to tell us how beautiful the photos were, like they were created for a magazine. We could not be happier, and I have no doubt the final album will be equally spectacular. For memories of a once-in-a-lifetime event that will last a lifetime, choosing 3 Cats Photos is a no-brainer.

I cannot even begin to describe how amazing it was to work with Jacqueline for our wedding this past weekend. She was extremely easy-going, communicative, professional, and always quick to respond for the entire year leading up to our wedding. So it came as no surprise that on our wedding day she absolutely crushed it. She captured our day so seamlessly. She was never in the way, never made us uncomfortable and just blended into the background in all the right ways. She made the wedding party and family photos process quick and painless which I know from experience can sometimes prove to be a disaster or just unorganized and chaotic at weddings. I was even MORE blown away when she delivered some photos the morning after our wedding after probably being up super late after getting home from our wedding. Talk about going above and beyond and exceeding expectations!!! I could not have asked for a better photographer to play such a huge part in our big day and I would recommend Jacqueline to ANYONE.

Jordan was an absolute pleasure with work with. I was the day of coordinator for a wedding she was photographing. From start to finish she made sure the brides needs, and mine, were met. Right off the bat, she introduced herself and got to work. She flowed so effortlessly into the day, it was like she was made to be part of the wedding day team. It was such a relief, knowing she didn’t need any direction from me. We communicated throughout the night and no matter the schedule change, she was ready with her camera to capture every special moment. I will be recommending her to all my brides. Jordan is so well seasoned in the photographer field that she made sure that every moment she captured, she only had to capture once. This made sure pictures didn’t take to much time out of the day so everyone including the bride and groom enjoyed their day. She made sure to incorporate every aspect of the wedding within her work as well, no matter how small.

We feel so fortunate to meet such genuine people and have the opportunity to tell their stories. Since 2014 we have shot over 150 weddings at more than 60 venues. We are based in Charlottesville, Virginia and love photographing weddings here as well as Richmond, Washington DC, and beyond.

Amy is one of my favorite vendors to work with! Her and her partner Jackson are professional, talented, and thoughtful enjoyable people. It comes across in their work, and in interacting with them. Their photos are beautiful, and capture detail and emotion so well. I can't recommend working with Amy enough!
