I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

My husband and I come as a photo team! We feel your day should be captured your way! So we tailor our style and editing to each unique couple! It’s not about us, it’s about you. We will help you document what is most important to you, the way you envision! Just like you, we have felt awkward in front of the camera. We’ve had photos taken of us that we didn’t like. We will make sure you not only feel comfortable, but that you look good! We give you prompts to keep you moving so you look and feel natural and comfortable.

Lacie and Tim are just the most amazing photographers (and people). They met up with us in Montana to shoot our elopement photos ahead of our shooting our wedding reception in Indiana. They are both so friendly and fun and Lacie has such great instincts. She and Tim surveyed glacier national park for great photo ops the day before we met. When we met some cloud cover in the park Lacie made a great call to pivot and get some amazing sunset photos on the lake which were stunning. While we drove around the park it felt like we hanging out with our good friends which made it all the more fun and the photos more authentic. Both Lacie and Tim were so helpful and kind, and our photos both in Montana and Indiana are everything I’ve ever wanted! Would hire/will hire them again and again!

I’m Edgar, an HTX-raised native with Salvadorian roots. I am the owner, creative director, and lead photographer at Anchor Studios Photography. I'm a wedding and elopement photographer based out of Pittsburgh, PA! However, the stories I capture don't start and end there. I love to travel to capture stories all around the world.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had our wedding in California and Edgar flew out and helped make our day so memorable! We didn't know him before and didn't end up doing an engagement shoot (so I was a little nervous) but he absolutely nailed it. His photos are stunning (I've gotten a TON of compliments on them), he is extremely communicative, and he had a bunch of photos ready to go by the end of the wedding. Both me and my husband aren't great at posing for photos and he knew exactly how to place us without it feeling faked. Super easy to work with and just a really nice guy. I'd highly recommend him to anyone!

Love Knot Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (27 reviews)
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Van Lear, KY

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
A few things that stood out the most about Isaac were how responsive he was, how he was able to accommodate to our budget, and how he took pictures from angles and views that turned out great on the photos. As a couple with demanding careers, I much appreciated how quickly Isaac was with replying to emails. We had a pretty tight budget, and Isaac was able to offer us a package that landed pretty close to our budget and only had the items that we needed the most (mini engagement photoshoot for the website and wedding day). Our ask for him was to get some candid shots as we feel pretty awkward in front of the camera. I personally think that the wedding day pictures came out more naturally because of the setting being surrounded with friends and families, and Isaac and Sushen did a great job capturing the candid moments beautifully. Isaac even had an idea for me to pose by climbing up a wooden stair ladder for a shot that I honestly wasn't sure how it was going to turn out while doing it, but it ended up turning out beautiful and magazine-like in addition to other ones that he asked us to pose for. Isaac put together a behind the scenes video that also showed the reactions of guests to our photo place cards before we had entered the reception area, and this was lovely in that we got to see our guests' reactions that we weren't able to see.

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

Grace did both our engagement and wedding photos and was such a pleasure to work with. She was professional, communicative, and attentive throughout the whole process, gave fantastic advice and direction on the day, paid minute attention to detail, and was up for anything. Her photos are dreamy and strike a perfect balance between art and recording memories.

We had a great experience with Amative Creative for our wedding! One thing that really made them stand out was that they offer so many different editing styles to choose from, so we were able to pick exactly the look we wanted. They also got our photos back to us super quickly—about a week after the wedding—which was such a nice surprise. The photos turned out beautiful and they captured all the big moments and some great candid shots. I especially love how cool the dance floor shots turned out. We received tons of compliments on the pictures! Highly recommend!

We hired Jeff to take photos for an intimate outdoor ceremony (us and 12 guests). The planning process was easy and stress free. Jeff slotted himself into the day seamlessly to capture candid moments in the ceremony and the time leading up to it. He was familiar with the venue (Ijams Nature Center) and we took a jaunt through the park after, where he was able to direct us to some of his favorite spots to take photos throughout. Jeff matched our vibe perfectly and made us feel comfortable and genuine throughout. And--of course--the photos came out beautifully.

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.

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
We hired Steven and his team to do our wedding photos and videography. I really wanted a photographer that could capture the soul of the event, and Steven did exactly that. His photos are full of life, and I shared so many portraits with guests that actually got printed out or posted online. If you're looking for hundreds of photos of your wedding party that look exactly the same and for every planned second to be documented, Steven is not your person. If you're looking to hit the big moments but focus on capturing raw moments with timeless photos to get framed, I couldn't recommend them more. I never thought I would get a wedding video because it always seemed cheesy to me. But after watching examples of his work I fell absolutely in love with his videos. I've honestly had a hard time watching ours because it evokes so much emotion. Steven was collaborative and willing to go with the flow. We gave him the difficult task of being prepared for 3 different locations with totally differing lighting (indoor/outdoor plus shooting from high sun into the night). He puts an immense amount of care into his work and the photos are truly art that we will cherish forever. If there are specific things you want covered, be sure to share a list. When it comes to capturing the moments that can't be planned, he is on the case!

She felt like more than photographer on my wedding day with the great attention to detail and dedication to protecting my peace, She felt like a friend. She picked up very well on social situations that shifted and pivoted when others weren't being as flexible. She was very swift on the turn around for the preview gallery and communicated any hiccups She had along the way until the full gallery was available. I would and will choose her again for any family and life event photos, hope she enjoyed shooting for us because it wont be the last shes seen of me. To say the least she played a massive role in making my wedding day memorable.

Since 2022, I’ve been telling love stories with an editorial eye and a documentarian’s heart. My work lives in that space where timeless elegance meets honest emotion—where the unposed and the beautifully composed exist side by side. Whether it’s an intimate elopement in a quiet corner of the world or a grand celebration surrounded by hundreds, my approach is grounded in trust, subtlety, and intention. I believe in honoring every story, every culture, every kind of connection, with care and with artistry.This isn’t just about beautiful photos. It’s about capturing what’s real and making it unforgettable.

Awarded Best of Zola
MacKensie was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the moment we first spoke, she was incredibly professional yet friendly - it felt like we were talking to a best friend we'd known for years. Their communication style put us at ease throughout the entire process. And the quality of their work is truly next level. They are so talented and detail-oriented, capturing all the special moments of our day with such care and artistry. When our original photographer fell through at the last minute, Kens stepped in and saved the day, blowing our socks off with the incredible photos she delivered. We are forever grateful for their expertise and passion, and we cannot recommend them highly enough.
