Tim Larsen Photography
Crosby, MN
  • Editorial style

Writing an about me page is a terribly revealing experience! Who takes the time to think "Who am I?" or "How would I describe myself to other people?" The temptation is to brag and be pretentious in order to convince you that I'm important, but instead I looked at my life and made some amazing discoveries. My life revolves around people. I love people. When I need to make a decision the people that it will affect are always the number one priority.

Love Knot Photography

San Francisco, CA

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.

We had an elopement at San Francisco City Hall and hired Love Knot Photography to take care of the photos and our social media videos. It was really great to work with someone so talented with a camera. My wife gets nervous when taking pictures and Isaac had a great personality and calm approach that really helped her enjoy the process. I think the photos of candids at the ceremony are so beautifully crafted it really shows how special of a moment it was for us. The portraits of the two of us, as well as my family that was there are really dear. I'm super beyond pleased with how everything turned out. Thank you!!

From the moment we reached out to her to getting our pictures, she has been incredibly communicative, easy to work with, and deeply kind. She made us feel so at ease and taken care of at our Rehearsal Dinner and on our wedding day. She not only allowed us to be our fullest selves but also encouraged capturing us in ways that felt authentic and not stuck in expected wedding photos or gender roles.

My style is rooted in a editorial and documentary approach, allowing me to narrate your unique love story through timeless images that capture genuine emotions.

These intimate details hold immense significance to me. As your photographer, I bring a heartfelt and genuine perspective, ensuring that your wedding day is portrayed in a way that truly reflects you and preserves the memories you'll cherish forever.

I love capturing the unseen, messy, and perfectly imperfect photos that you never even knew you wanted. I live for those emotive, raw, storytelling moments. I take a documentary approach to my work; My style is candid and my focus is authentic connection through my images. If I were to describe my style; VIBRANT | RICH | BOLD+COLORFUL.

When I say Jeny is the best, I mean she is THE BEST. I reached out to her to capture my elopement and she was immediately willing to join us on our adventure. She even had many ideas for locations, despite it being a destination shoot. It was clear that she spent time on researching the destination, which was so thoughtful. I loved her creativity and direction during the shoot. We both felt very comfortable. Now, the photos themselves, were AMAZING. I love how she was able to capture everything. She also provided a quick turn around time for our sneak peek photos and the entire album! We will never use another photographer!

When I'm not capturing beautiful moments, you'll find me savoring fine wine and crafting to my heart's contentment.

Awarded Best of Zola
Let me start off by saying I am pretty shy and am usually not the most photogenic gal out there. You can probably imagine how anxious I was going into our wedding planning - I was pretty worried about my awkwardness in front of a camera and the impact that would have on our wedding photos. But then I met LaDonna, and that all changed! She was so nice and professional in her approach and she really took the time to help me find my confidence in front of a camera. She was really patient and encouraging and was really great at giving me some direction early on at the beginning in teaching me how to look natural; by the time it came to our real sessions, I found I was hardly even thinking about my insecurities and instead found I was just living in the moment with my husband-to-be! I feel so much more comfortable and confident in myself after having worked with LaDonna - and I couldn’t be happier with the photos!! Thanks to her, I have beautiful pictures from our big day to cherish and the self confidence to keep taking photos with my husband to cherish our memories for a lifetime. So if you’re shy like me, this is for you!
