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. Alec truly went above and beyond, and we had such a great time working with him. I'm obsessed with the pictures and would give him an 11/10 rating!

I had an incredible experience working with Connie from Latek Photography for my wedding! Her communication style was quick, friendly, and understanding throughout the entire process. The quality of her work was truly astonishing - the photos she captured were breathtaking and exceeded all of our expectations. She very clearly understood the architectural vision for our photos and knew exactly where to take us to get the most stunning shots. She was also so easy to work with and never pressured us into anything we weren't comfortable with. I would highly recommend Latek Photography to any couple looking for a professional, easy-going and truly remarkable wedding photography experience.

My husband is my second photographer, so we come as a photo team! Just like you, I have felt awkward in front of the camera. I’ve had photos taken of me that I didn’t like. When you go on a session with me, I will not only make you feel comfortable, but I will make sure you look good! I will give you prompts to keep you moving so you look and feel natural and comfortable. I’m sorry but there are some angles, and poses that are not flattering for everyone. Like, please don’t take a photo of me from below! Hello double chin! What I’m saying is, I Got You!

Awarded Best of Zola
Where do I start with Lacie and Tim?!? Lacie was the first vendor I booked and for a good reason, it took one call and that was it - I knew she would be perfect for our wedding day. My husband and I have always been photo-shy and have often took awkward photos, and had a fear this would happen during our wedding day. There was never a moment that Lacie did not know what to do or what to suggest. We never had to think about it. What I believe contributes to Lacie's photo magic is she is an amazing person, incredibly easy to talk to and a joy to be around, and makes you feel confident and comfortable - we realized during photos it was like we were gabbing and being around one of our friends, and this distracted us from the fact and anxiety that we were actually taking a photo. Not only did this make taking photos fun, but it captured a lot of great candid moments and the photos felt natural and not overly staged. On wedding day, they were on top of it - timely, organized, and efficient. They were also incredibly supportive while we were both pretty anxious. They also give your sneak peaks freaky fast. We have already seen a few of them, and they look straight out of a magazine. It was an absolute joy working with Lacie and Tim, and we definitely plan to use them again in the future as we grow our family.

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.

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.

Ten stars! I know I am super late, but better late than never. I just wanted to say thank you for how awesome Michael and the Red Bank Studio team were for our wedding. From their punctuality and professionalism throughout the whole process, to Michael’s contagious smile and good spirit on the wedding day, we must say that we could not have been able to find anyone else better than them to take care of us on our special day. I am not just saying this myself, but in fact many of my guests very impressed with Michael’s work and charisma, and came to me to complement his work and personality. Your energy, your charm, and your ability to make people laugh even when they do not want to, made our wedding day extra special. I must say that I was extremely worried about my husband and his lack of smiling skills, but he gave us the best smile I have ever seen in him. More than taking pictures and recording a video, Michael and the team would make sure that we were comfortable and we never felt overwhelmed with pictures that day. They actually enjoy their work. You can tell is not a job for them! I cannot thank you guys enough, and I will be forever grateful for the stellar work you guys performed at our wedding. I wish you and your team a successful and healthy 2023, and I hope we get to work together soon!

Our experience with MSMP MEDIA LLC as our wedding photographers was absolutely fantastic. They provided light, romantic and artistic photography that captured all the special moments of our big day, and the turn around on images was also surprising! Despite some communication issues due to a change in our wedding planner, the MSMP MEDIA team was incredibly flexible and adaptable. They got creative with unique shots while also following our lead and going with the flow.

Brandon was so easy and fun to work with from the first call to the day of the wedding! He captured our vision so well and relayed to message to his team, and they delivered. Chris and Blake actually shot the wedding day and we had just a good time! Chris was the best hype man and made us feel like superstar models the whole day. We had a fun time! Blake and Chris were so nice and carefree which helped us feel relaxed and like they were just two more friends there to celebrate us. We got the pictures back in such a reasonable time, as well! That was a nice treat because we couldn't wait to relive the day through the pictures :) Thank you so much to Brandon and his team (s/o Chris & Blake!) for capturing the magic of our favorite day!! I would highly recommend them to do the same for you!

My passion for wedding photography stems from my love of storytelling. Weddings are filled with moments of joy, laughter, and love, and I believe in honoring every genuine connection and fleeting glance that happens throughout the day. Every couple has a unique story, and my goal is to help you relive yours for years to come through images that evoke the same emotions you felt on your wedding day. Being in Business for 6years with over 120 Wedding shot across the country.

King is an absolute dream to work with for our engagement photo session!, King, gave us the freedom to just be ourselves and have fun, telling us to grab a bottle of champagne and find a classic car and head to the suburbs of Kansas City. He captured so many beautiful, natural moments between my fiancé and I that we'll cherish forever. King's unscripted approach allowed our personalities to shine through in the photos, and the final images turned out stunning. We couldn't be happier with our experience and highly recommend King for any couple looking for an effortless, joy-filled photo session. As you can tell I look beautiful in photos.

Only a few weddings are taken each year — each one chosen for its story. Every frame is directed with intention, shaped by light, emotion, and atmosphere. Whether it’s a rooftop in New York or an Italian villa overlooking the sea, this is for those who see their day as more than an event — it’s a legacy in motion, crafted to last beyond the moment.

After our first photographer fell through, we found Caz and luckily he happened to be available on our wedding date. From the very first contact, he was incredibly responsive (super important to us), friendly and professional. His work looked great so we were excited - then we found out he was featured in Vogue! We were stoked. He was amazing to work with on the wedding day - punctual, friendly, got all the requested shots, and the whole bridal party loved him. We got our pictures back today - and they’re so much better than we could have dreamed of. It’s no wonder he was featured in Vogue - his work is artistic, candid, and beautiful. Thank you Caz for giving us such beautiful memories so we can relive the best day of our lives.

Hey there, I’m Lauren! I’m a wedding and boudoir photographer based in Grand Rapids, MI. I believe your photos should feel like you—natural, honest, and full of emotion. No stiff posing here—just real, unscripted moments that tell your story. I’ll help you feel confident and comfortable, whether it's your wedding day, a boudoir session, or a just-because adventure. Outside of photography, I’m usually hiking, doing Jiu-Jitsu, or traveling with my wife. Let’s create something timeless and unforgettable together!

We all know that hiring vendors for your wedding is stressful, but Lauren was stress free and my BEST choice! She communicated with me throughout the entire planning process and helped me iron out all the details surrounding the big day. As someone who didn’t use a wedding planner, this was huge for me because I had no idea what I was doing. Lauren helped me through this by providing some timeline templates, and answered any questions that came up (even if it didn’t relate directly to photography). Aside from planning, I knew I had made the right choice when we shot our engagement photos. Obviously the final product is why you hire a photographer, but Lauren provided high quality photos AND a great experience! My husband does not like his photo taken and will usually morph into a toddler who throws tantrums when asked to stand in front of a camera for too long - but not with Lauren. We had so much fun shooting with her, she really made it an awesome experience and my husband actually enjoyed himself! For our wedding day we had exactly the same experience, just on a much larger scale. We had a few last minute changes to the plan, and Lauren made sure that for every sacrifice that was made, that there was no detail or photo opportunity missed. She even spent 20 minutes in a broom closet with my mom and I to try to get my bustle buttoned before the dances. Everyone who interacted with Lauren on that day had nothing but great things to say about their experience working with her, and she was absolutely my favorite vendor on my wedding day. Our photos were sent to us before the date they were promised by and they are absolutely PERFECT. We will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives! Lauren is phenomenal at what she does, but more than that she is an amazing person. I truly feel like I’ve gained a friend by working with her and I will never use another photographer to capture my memories. I’m so lucky to have found her, and if you get the opportunity to do so I would 1,000,000% recommend it!

Awarded Best of Zola
If you're looking for a photographer for engagement pictures, a wedding photographer, or a photographer for any other occasion - stop looking! My fiance and I were visiting friends in AZ shortly after our engagement and we booked Maggie for an engagement shoot at sunset while we were there. To say that we are are OBSESSED with our pictures is an understatement. Maggie was so knowledgeable about the lighting at that time of day and utilized the whole landscape to get great pictures with different backgrounds, not JUST different poses from us. We didn't stay in the same spot during the session as she continued to create new angles to adjust to as the sun continued to set. I felt comfortable asking "hey can we try this!?" and Maggie was more than willing to get excited with us about capturing the kind of picture we had in our mind. Maggie also gave us alot of direction on how to maybe tilt our head, or move a hand over a little bit, or recognized that the shot wasn't going to be great so she just scratched it and moved to the next idea. This was extra helpful to me because I didn't have to "guess how to model" and I appreciated that she made good use of her and our time. Maggie works quickly to get a variety of poses and landscapes, is willing to travel, and seems to genuinely love what she does. Her excitement and direction made it fun and exciting for us too! 10/10 for our experience with Maggie!

Ashley even went above and beyond by contacting our venue to schedule a free photoshoot on a sunny day so we could capture the outdoor wedding photos we had originally envisioned. I am not usually confident in front of the camera, but Ashley and her team made my husband and I feel so comfortable, guiding us into flattering poses that highlighted our connection.

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!

St. Louis based but always ready to pack a bag and find my way to you! I’m a wedding and portrait photographer lucky enough to have been doing what I do for 10 years now. I feel so lucky each and every day. It’s a big responsibility and I don’t take it for granted for a single second. Beautiful imagery built on a foundation of trust is my ultimate goal as your photographer.

Picking a photographer is such an important decision for your wedding and if you're anything like me, you're going to do your research and compare value and quality to the other companies out there. Trust me when I say there is no other company that I would put my trust in to get the perfect shots every time. Brendan Batchelor Photography continues to exceed our expectations. What started as our engagement/wedding photographer has since turned into my growing family's photographer for life. From family shoots to important events, Brendan consistently delivers beautiful pictures that highlight the best parts of our special events. With Brendan, we were truly able to "stay in the moment" on our special day because of how comfortable Brendan made us feel. He makes you feel relaxed, confident, and natural. We completely trusted him with our photos on our wedding day because his work just can't be beat. His attention to detail and consistency are just some of the things that set him apart. His turn around time for all of the images you receive is also so impressive and he makes it so easy to print and share your pictures. Brendan knows is art so well and pours his heart into his work, making even the smallest moments of the day feel special. He is always prepared and always thinking outside of the box. He even had extra hair pins for me on our wedding day to perfect my hair as the day went on. Upon meeting him, you'll see his kindness and genuine personality which makes him even more of a clear choice. I simply cannot over recommend this company enough!!

Cannot recommend Cece enough! First and foremost the pictures turned out AMAZING. Most of my guests didn’t take photos throughout the event simply because they saw Cece everywhere and knew she was getting the shot AND SHE WAS. She was so communicative and fun to work with. We are also new to the area and she was amazing at helping us find other great and reliable vendors.

I'm Tyler, I live in Illinois with my wife and 2 kids. I love to traveling, cycling, watching old film, and taking photos. I have 10 years of wedding photography experience. I have done over 100 weddings.

Tyler and his amazing wife photographed my wedding and they were everything I could’ve hoped for and more. Tyler is an attentive and creative photographer. He returned the images within a reasonable time and I could not have been happier with the results. Having him there to capture my day was the exact right decision, and I would recommend him to anyone who was looking for an attentive, talented, professional, and creative photographer for their special day.

I have been shooting professionally for nearly ten years throughout Indiana--though I am very eager to travel with my camera! I bring a creative, moody vibe to my photographs that aim to tell your story in it's own unique beauty. I love helping tell & creating stories, and have held various day jobs from newspaper reporter to behavioral therapist. I know that my job touches almost as heavily in service as it does in the arts, and utilize all of my qualities to work with all of your vendors so that YOU have the best day possible!

From initial email, to engagement shoot, wedding day, and final album wrap up, working with Kelly was a dream! She's professional, organized, and so incredibly talented. My visions for our wedding album were not only achieved by far surpass by Kelly's skill. I recommend her to everyone who needs a talented photographer for any life event. She's simply the best!

I'm a film & digital photographer based in the Midwest but traveling internationally to capture heartfelt moments and authentic love stories with a cinematic and nostalgic feel. I started out with travel photography but my passion for portraiture and timeless romance led me to specialize in elopements, destination weddings, and intimate couples shoots for intentional and adventurous couples.

Stacey was a dream to work with! She was quick to respond from the minute we submitted an inquiry to weeks after our elopement. She also scheduled an initial zoom meeting before even signing anything which was very personable and helpful to meet the person you might want to hire! For the day of, we had an intimate elopement with only 3 friends. Stacey made us feel so comfortable and like she had known us for years even though we had just met in person that day! Stacey gave us directions on what to do for the pictures, but not strict posing which made the pictures seem so much more natural, candid, and real. She is a gem of a human and so friendly. After the elopement, Stacey provided us with sneak peeks almost immediately. And when we were delivered the final pictures, we were blown away. Every single picture was PERFECT. We also requested some photos on film, and every single one of those were perfect as well. Could not be happier with choosing Stacey to photograph our day that we’ll remember forever.
