They never made me feel rushed. I can’t stop looking at the album, its like reliving the day again.

Hey there sweet bride-to-be! I'm a wedding photographer based right here in Hoover, Alabama, and I absolutely love capturing the pure joyful , once-in-a-lifetime moments. From the happy tears to the big laughs on the dance floor, my heart is all about telling your love story in the most dreamy and fun way possible!

I had never hired a photographer for any occasion before but Ahlea made the process so seamless. She immediately set up a call to go over our vision, since we weren’t having a “traditional” wedding. Ahlea was so flexible, open to our ideas & completely on board! She had the great idea of having me make a Pinterest board of inspo pictures & after seeing my own pictures, I could tell Ahlea really took on board what I wanted & envisioned. The day of she was on-time, ran around downtown Annapolis with us, she came with ideas of picturesque places & poses. We received our sneak-peak like 2 days later which was so exciting to not have to wait & then we received the rest on time. And we were OBSESSED. I’m so so happy with the choice to book Ahlea & would recommend her to anyone else looking for a photographer!! In fact, we may be in need of her services very soon again :)

Love Knot Photography 

5.0

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Empire, AL

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.

Hey there! We are Hellen + Rafael and we are the photographer and videographer behind the lens! We have been married for 5 years and we love doing life together! That is why we joined our forces 5 years ago to create Hellen Oliveira Photography. We have a passion for capturing your special moments and making them last a lifetime! We are in Atlanta, GA - but we love to travel and will go anywhere to tell a good love story! Get to know us better and say hi!

Hellen and Rafael beautifully captured every moment of our journey, including our engagement photos, private wedding ceremony, and finally our traditional wedding celebration. Our private ceremony, set in the North Georgia mountains, turned into an impromptu adventure when a surprise winter storm completely changed our plans. Despite the snowy and challenging conditions, Hellen and Rafael didn’t hesitate to make the trip. They arrived with such professionalism and calm, capturing the day flawlessly as if nothing had changed. With our timeline completely thrown off and the original plan to travel to a church in town no longer possible, our intimate gathering turned into a DIY celebration. Immediate family members became the kitchen crew, bartenders, and even the officiant! Through all of this, Hellen and Rafael embraced the chaos, adapted seamlessly, and documented the day in the most beautiful and meaningful way. The video they curated from that snowy day is something we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We were equally grateful to have them return in May to capture our wedding celebration with all of our friends and extended family. Once again, their talent, professionalism, and dedication shined through. We are so thankful we chose Hellen and Rafael to document our most cherished moments. Their commitment to their clients, clear communication, and ability to adapt to the unexpected make them truly exceptional. We can't wait to work with them again for future family milestones. We highly recommend this team to anyone looking to preserve their most meaningful moments with creativity, care, and heart.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

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.

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

Hi, I’m Shelby, a wedding & elopement photographer with a love for travel and a sparkly, lively personality. I’ve had the privilege of working with couples across various destinations, bringing my energy and passion to every celebration. Raised in New Orleans, and now based out of Alabama & Michigan, servicing multiple regions. I believe in creating a genuine connection with my couples, making them feel relaxed, heard, and truly seen on their big day. Weddings & Elopements can be chaotic, but I’m here to guide you through every moment—from the first look to the final dance—capturing all the love, joy, and raw emotion in between.

***LONG REVIEW! Not Sorry! The photos I have of our day are far better than I could have imagined and Shelby was the best to work with. It is not just the amount or the quality of the photos you get with Shelby, but her customer service is above and beyond. She met with me in person 3 times to help settle my nerves and I couldn't have been more grateful. Shelby was so understanding and no vision I had was too outlandish or too much trouble. She communicated in a transparent, deliberate way, but was never pushy or disrespectful. I interviewed multiple photographers and truly, we just meshed well together. Shelby is unique and her sparkle really shines during the chaos, handling it like a BOSS! We had a military wedding and let me tell you, she handled it. I learned that she also only takes 3-4 weddings a month to really prioritize her clients and let me tell you, it shows so much! She got us sneak peaks within a week and the full gallery was delivered in 4 weeks. Look, I could have easily been classified as an "intense" bride and Shelby reassured me all day and reminded me that I was allowed to enjoy my day. Truly, I didn't just hire a photographer that day, I hired a trusted friend and we have already planned our 5 year anniversary photos in Italy with her. I know this review is a lot, but if you are looking for a photographer (that essentially has the 2nd MOST IMPORTANT role on your wedding day), that will give you more than a camera click and congratulations email, then SHELBY IS YOUR GIRL!!! Just talk to her! She shoots you straight and can help so much! Also, last thing, she respected our privacy. Our gallery was delivered via USB because we can't have personal photos of my husband on the internet. You will also not see them anywhere on her socials or website and they were not shared with other vendors, per our request. Yes, military family here. We trust her and you can too.

I love knowing every image I take holds lasting memories. ​ I combine my love of candid photography with a romantic, elegant, and timeless edit. I can't wait to learn more about your love story and get to know you! xo Caitlin Elizabeth

Caitlin was absolutely amazing! She truly captured all of our special moments that we will never forget! She made us feel so comfortable and was such a pleasure to work with! We cannot wait to continue celebrating all these memories for years to come. We highly recommend and plan on using her for future life events!

Hi, I’m Brianna — the photographer behind Sacred Fire Photography. I believe your wedding photos should feel as real and timeless as the love you share. My goal is to capture every genuine moment — the laughter, the tears, and the quiet in-betweens — in a way that tells your story beautifully and authentically. Based in Alabama, I specialize in creating a relaxed, comfortable experience so you can truly be present on your wedding day while I preserve every memory for you to relive for years to come.

Brianna and the team at Sacred Fire Photography LLC were absolutely amazing to work with for our wedding day. Their communication was fast, reliable, and they were a true pleasure to have by our side. The quality of their work was simply the best - the photos are stunning and captured all the special moments of our day perfectly. Brianna made my day absolutely perfect and even let my 4-legged babies be a part of it as well! Honestly, I couldn't ask for someone better to be a part of our special day. Brianna has been my go-to for everything, and my whole family absolutely loves her. I would highly recommend Sacred Fire Photography to any couple looking for lovely, amazing wedding photography.

I love the entire process, from prep for the bride and groom, to the ceremony, the group, family and bridal photos and also the reception. I love moments and what you get from me is someone who enjoys what I do all the time.

Will and his team were absolutely amazing! Through the chaos and changes of the day the team remained calm and made sure that our vision was realized. They also went above and beyond to ensure meetings prior to the big day allowed for proper planning and and overall plan for the day was discussed. The photos were beautifully edited and he listened to our concepts and gave us everything we asked for and somethings we didn’t even know we wanted. I am beyond grateful to the team and would definitely work with them again.
