When I'm not working, you can find me hitting live shows or adventuring with my wife and cat, Riesling. About my work: 10+ years of experience shooting both on-location and in the studio. Use of off-camera lighting, which allows me to add a creative flair when natural light isn't quite enough. I’ll crawl through cattails, get pelted with silly string, and wade out waist deep in the ocean, just to get the perfect shot. My goal is to make YOU feel comfortable and at ease so we can create compelling imagery for your special occasion or event.

I am a queer, New York City-based photographer documenting candid joy and human connection. Drawn to emotion and the beauty in everyday moments, I approach my work with mindfulness and intuition – balancing gentle guidance with an observational presence. What I value most about my job is the ability to connect with people and witness their stories unfold in raw, vulnerable ways. I hope that my work is a reflection of these moments: honest, emotive, and intentionally seen.

Emma’s work is artistic, special, and outstanding. We LOVED working with her twice, for both an elopement and family celebration wedding day! She is extremely organized, detailed, prompt, and such a positive presence on your special day. She makes anyone and everyone comfortable in front of the camera and captures the day authentically (but with the most attention to detail you could hope for). She is wonderful and we are so lucky to have found her and been able to work with her! I would recommend her to ANYONE who wants unbelievable wedding photos that capture the magic, milestones, and tiny moments of the day.

Wedding planning is sooooo stressful, and Lacie and her team made the photography part such a breeze!!! I told my fiance that I was nervous about choosing a photographer because our pictures would last forever, but with Lacie all of that anxiety was gone!! I love how she doesn’t have just one specific style, but she takes the kind of pictures that YOU want. She was great at helping my husband and I with poses and she was even more amazing helping us at our wedding!! If I had to do it all over again I would still pick her to shoot our wedding.

Weddings are more than beautiful photos—they're the moments you'll never get to experience the same way again. Our passion is preserving those moments exactly as they happen, from the quiet emotions before the ceremony to the celebration on the dance floor. We believe the best photographs are the ones that feel real. The tears, laughter, stolen glances, and genuine connections are what tell your story, and that's where our focus stays throughout your wedding day.

We had a wonderful experience working with Zechariah for our wedding! He was recommended by our officiant, and after seeing his portfolio, we felt he was a great fit for our small civil ceremony at Niagara Falls State Park. Communication was excellent from the beginning. He was kind, responsive, and very flexible in creating a 1.5-hour photography session that worked perfectly for our intimate wedding. On the wedding day, he was punctual, professional, patient, and genuinely pleasant to work with. His experience photographing at Niagara Falls was a huge plus; he had great ideas for locations, poses, and compositions, while also giving us space to be spontaneous and natural. He made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera and did a great job organizing our family photos as well. We loved the final photographs!. He captured beautiful scenery, spontaneous moments, and so many different emotions and expressions. The gallery was delivered on time, was easy to access and download, and included a generous number of photos. Zechariah is genuine, cheerful, and professional, and we would absolutely recommend him to other couples!

Juliette's photography seeks out authentic and candid moments that allow her couples to feel comfortable, vulnerable and fully present on their wedding day. Juliette's work is inspired by nostalgia, incorporating disposable cameras, 35mm film, and 90s camcorder throughout the day. Her love for visual storytelling is inspired by her favorite films and music, the details of the day, and her couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
At almost every moment leading up to our wedding day we knew we had made the right decision in hiring Juliette. We talked with quite a few photographers and videographers before settling on her and the main reason we did is just how easy she is to communicate and connect with. Always making us feel prioritized and accommodated to without overwhelming us. Any adjustments we made she was willing to roll with and always encouraged us to make decisions that would make us happy instead of anyone else. The pictures and videos themselves also turned out wonderful. Our main desire with hiring a videographer was to have someone capture as many special and genuine moments as they could while we enjoyed our day as carefree as we could. She most certainly succeeded on that front. My wife and I can’t recommend her enough, she made everything a breeze.

Your wedding photos should feel like your wedding, not a photoshoot with a wedding squeezed in. I love the editorial, frame-worthy portraits just as much as anyone, but the moments I'm really chasing are the ones you didn't even realize happened. The deep breath before you walk down the aisle. Your grandma absolutely tearing it up on the dance floor. Your partner looking at you like they just won the lottery. Those are the photos that somehow become everyone's favorites.

Awarded Best of Zola
Having Skyler at our wedding was a blessing. Since I saw her photos and profile on social media I knew that she was the right photographer to capture the most important moment of our lives. And so it was... her relaxed aura makes you feel that you are among friends. She knows how to do her job and at the same time go unnoticed. You can’t imagine what she sees behind the lens until you receive the photos and say Woao!! You can feel the love and happiness of us (newlyweds) in each photo. Thank you Skyler for capturing our love in every photo.

I relocated to the United States in 2016—the same year I photographed my first wedding and discovered a passion for it.

Awarded Best of Zola
Shukhrat and his wife Rachel just shot our June 8th wedding and we couldn't be happier. They were amazing to work with and the photos are phenomenal! About the pictures: Shukhrat is versatile and very skilled. When we took our engagement photos he provided us with various styles of photos and editing, and then used our feedback to guide the photos he took at our wedding. He is also flexible. We got married in a city park and there were wayyyy more people in the park than we were expecting at 6:00pm at night. Without missing any of the candid details or true-to-life colors that we wanted, Shukhrat was able to frame the photos and/or alter the lighting so that the park goers were barely visible in the background. Both Shukhrat and Rachel are also very skilled at giving direction when needed, but letting you do your own thing the rest of the time. Neither my husband nor I have a lot of experience in front of a camera—they gave us enough direction to feel confident, without making us feel stifled or overly posed. We wanted photos that felt organic and genuine, and they were really able to capture that. Working with Shukhrat and Rachel: The two of them were a dream to work with. Incredibly professional--very communicative, punctual, quick turnaround time on photos. And they are also just lovely people. You spend so much time on your wedding day with your photographers, it's really important to feel comfortable with them, and we certainly did. They brought both a fun, but calming energy, easing our pre-wedding jitters before the ceremony, and leaning into the excitement as the night went on. Although we hardly know them, they felt like friends. We are so glad we booked Shukhrat for our wedding!

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.

Not only are his photos absolutely stunning and timeless, but he is also such a pleasure to work with. (The best combo!) From virtual meetings planning how the day will flow and on the actual wedding day itself, he will help guide you through everything. He pays attention to the details that are important to you as the client, all while making sure he captures your wedding day perfectly. Wedding days move very quickly and things can get overwhelming, but Hanel's understanding of how wedding days flow allows him to take care of you as the bride & groom. Although he is working, he makes sure you also get to enjoy your big day and not get too caught up in all the business--this was something we really appreciated. Him and his team will go above and beyond and make sure there is nothing you have to worry about. ALL of Hanel's work is beautiful and intentional. He even provides such a unique experience when viewing your full gallery once it's ready. My husband and I will never forget how we felt seeing all our photos for the first time. Our wedding is a day we wish we could relive again and again, and the photos he captured did exactly that. Hanel is extremely skilled, talented and is truly the best at his craft. We highly recommend him. (:
