Love Knot Photography

  • Serves Iowa City, IA

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
“We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.”

Caz Isaiah 
Rating: 5.0 (18 reviews)

  • Editorial style
  • Serves Iowa City, IA

Every wedding has its own rhythm. I'm inspired by the way a great film makes you feel like you're actually inside the story — the anticipation before something happens, the quiet moments between people, the movement, the atmosphere, and the unexpected frames you could never have planned. I photograph weddings with that same instinct, moving with what's already unfolding rather than forcing the day into a shot list or manufacturing moments. The images move between digital capture and authentic 35mm and medium-format film, giving each moment the rendering that suits it best — creating photographs that feel like frames from a film you happened to live inside.

Awarded Best of Zola
“We knew we wanted someone who could capture our dreamy, storybook aesthetic, and Caz Isaiah exceeded every expectation. From our first conversation, his communication was refreshingly straightforward and personable, which made the entire planning process feel easy and stress-free. On the wedding day, he brought genuine warmth—literally showing up with a snack for me in the morning—and his creative eye shone through in every shot. Caz doesn't rely on heavy posing; instead, he works from simple prompts to create naturally flattering images that feel authentic to who we are. What really got us was when he sent over prints from his film cameras without us even asking—a detail that perfectly captured the moody, romantic pictures we'd been dreaming about. His work is fantastic, and he genuinely went above and beyond to make our day feel like the vision we'd imagined. Very highy recommend Caz!”

“King is seriously a dream to work with! From the first time we talked, we just knew they were the right choice. He’s so down-to-earth and made us feel totally at ease, which was huge because neither of us are super comfortable in front of a camera. He helped us with posing when we needed it (thank you for making us look like we knew what we were doing!), but also just let us be ourselves, which resulted in the most natural, beautiful photos. He totally captured the vibe of our day, especially the reception. The energy, the laughter, the dancing—everything was perfectly documented. We couldn’t have asked for better photos that really tell the story of our celebration. We’re beyond happy with how everything turned out!”

When you look back at your album decades from now, I don’t want you to just remember what you looked like. I want you to remember exactly how it felt. I’m here for the quiet whispers, the loud laughs, the messy hair, and the moments that leave you breathless. Because your love isn’t a curated catalog—it’s a living, breathing piece of art.

“We've worked with Jasmine from Shutter Lane Imagery for the last five years, and she captured our milestones long before our wedding day. On our wedding, she kept everything running smooth while laughing and engaging with us the whole time, she wasn't just hiding behind the lens. Jasmine's energy and bubbly personality made our day feel special, and her heart for what she does really shines through in her work. Her communication before the wedding was quick and clear, which gave us peace of mind leading up to the big day. The photos came back fast and they're incredible. We can't recommend Shutter Lane Imagery enough.”

Leading up to our wedding day, Val was incredibly easy to communicate with. She even reached out to our DJ to coordinate timelines, which lifted a huge weight off our shoulders. On the wedding day, Val and Kevin made everything run smoothly and efficiently, ensuring we got the perfect photos and video. We couldn’t be happier with how all of our engagement and wedding photos turned out.

“When we were looking for a photographer we were struggling so much to find someone that wouldnt break the bank, but wouldn't deliver crappy pictures either. When we found Jessica Boone Visual Arts, we were so excited to get such a reasonable price. I got even more excited when I spoke with her, because I am telling you, it was some of the best customer service I have ever had. Always willing to answer questions or make time for me whenever I needed whether it was a phone call or email. Jessica Boone did our engagement and our wedding photos. I was absolutely blown away with not only how the pictures turned out but also how patient, helpful, and fun she was!! After seeing only a few of our engagement photos, I knew I needed her for our big day. Jessica worked with me and made sure everything was perfect! (She and her assistant even helped with my dress SEVERAL times throughout the day! Oh, and fixing my husbands crooked bowtie.) All of our guests keep commenting on how jaw-droppingly beautiful our winter wedding photos are. I truly believe Jessica Boone is one of the most creative and talented photographers in the area! She will work with you on your dream photos... whether it's location, style, or simply being great in front of the camera. Thank you again Jessica for the most beautiful photos I get to enjoy forever. We would rate you 100 on a scale of 1-5, seriously.”

Jenna DeVille Photo + Film is rooted in documenting weddings exactly as they felt - not just how they looked. My approach blends documentary storytelling with romantic, editorial imagery to capture the quiet in-between moments, the big emotions, and all of the beautifully imperfect pieces that make your day yours. I want your photographs to feel nostalgic, honest, and timeless - the kind you'll look back on years from now and immediately remember what it felt like to be there.

“We had the privilege of having Jenna as our photographer for our engagement pictures, my bridal pictures, and my wedding on 9/12/26 and I could not be happier with the choices we made! Jenna is so much more than just a photographer; she was quite literally my backbone throughout the entire wedding planning process. From our engagement and bridal sessions to the wedding day itself, her work is breathtaking, but it is her heart and dedication that truly set her apart. She has an incredible ability to dissolve stress, even handling unexpected moments like removing a huge stain from my dress as if it were nothing at all. Not to mention her excitement shows in her turn around time, after my bridal session I received sneak peaks by the next afternoon! She has such a talent for capturing every moment perfectly creating pictures we will love for a life time. She has made my wedding something I could relax and enjoy rather than being stress. She willingly helped with so many “small” things to keep my day as smooth as possible. If you want someone who will do WHATEVER is necessary to make the brides day perfect, trust me she is your girl! I mean honestly, go look at her facebook to see the AMAZING work she does!! Beyond her talent behind the lens, she stepped in to manage my entire wedding timeline and supported me in countless other ways that I can't even fully express. It is so evident how much she loves her job, not just in the stunning photos she captures, but in her positive attitude and the way she carries herself. She is a complete professional and a wonderful human being who truly deserves the world. I cannot recommend her highly enough!”

Since you are trusting me to capture these special moments in your life, I figured you should probably know a bit about me, right? I am a Huntsville, Alabama native, but moved to Nashville after graduating from the University of Alabama in 2013. ROLL TIDE! Although I consider Nashville home, I am anything but a homebody. I love traveling and exploring new places (especially the food at those places!). I even studied abroad in Italy, which let me tell you, was a food lover's dream. I have always felt like an old soul trapped in a millennial’s body. I would rather listen to Frank Sinatra than anything on the radio today.

From the very beginning, Diana's communication style was open, professional, and timely - she was always checking in to make sure our day was going as we had imagined. The quality of her work is truly exceptional, with a clean, timeless, and emotional style that captured all the special moments beautifully. Diana knows the importance behind wedding photos - they aren't just a social media dump, but rather the memories we'll cherish for years to come. She reminded us to take in the little things, and that thoughtfulness really shines through in the final product.

  • Serves Iowa City, IA for additional fees

Soul Stories is our passion project in the truest sense, it was born out of a love for the moments words can’t quite hold — the quiet glances, the laughter between vows, the way love feels when it’s seen rather than said. By day, Sena (lead photographer) is a nurse and Shelton (lead photographer) works in cybersecurity — and as a couple, photo and video has always been the way we remember and cherish life. Documenting love, celebration, and the moments that matter most is something we've always done naturally. We simply decided to share that gift with others.

Awarded Best of Zola
“As I finally begin to write this review, my mind does not know where to start. Sena and Shelly have made it hard to find such meaningful and beautiful words to describe just how wonderful they are. Having phenomenal, near & dear photos of my wedding day was extremely important to me and as I spent hours meticulously researching and thumbing through every vendor– photographers ranked at the top of that list. As a bride, Sena was my main point of contact throughout the whole process and I could not thank her enough for being my hype man and being SO understanding. Furthermore, I truly feel that the attitude of your vendors can change everything when planning your own wedding, and Sena was such a delight to chat with. From over 300 days out to the big day, she came with such a calm yet electric energy that was contagious! She would've been my bridesmaid if she wasn't holding the camera and I mean that from the bottom of my heart! Again, knowing that your vendors want to be there for you and not make a quick buck is so relieving. They understood my budget and worked hard to make it happen without underselling themselves, or giving me less than what I wanted. Seeing them both be so excited to capture such a day meant the world to me. seeing the sneak peak after, not only can I obviously see the love poured out between my husband and I, but I can see their love poured out unto their craft. Each photo has so much love and energy behind it. To brag some more about how phenomenal these people are, Sena and Shelly even went out of their way to pick up my bridal flowers and make the bouquet for me! They adjusted my veil at my ceremony, helped me put my heels on, offered to get me my food at the reception, even asked the bartenders for dish soap when my dress got pollen on it, and proceeded to scrub it off my dress! I'm sure I'm missing some things, too! Okay, okay, if you’ve read this far, I think you're thinking what I’m thinking and that’s: HIRE THEM! Honestly, (although I don’t think I have to) I beg of you, hire them. These are great and amazing people and I cannot wait to see where else their photography takes them. Sena and Shelly create photographs for generations to come, timeless, elegant, warm and thoughtful. I could not have asked for better. “Most beloved, if God has so loved us, we also ought to love one another.” ‭‭1 John‬ ‭4‬:‭11‬ ‭CPDV‬‬”

Welcome!! My name is McKenzie!! My story began back in 2017. What started as snapping photos of friends and family for fun quickly grew into passion. Fast forward a year, I decided to turn my love for photography into something even bigger. Lavenderie Photos was born, and I've never looked back! Since then, I've had the absolute joy of photographing over 100 amazing individuals and couples. Every session is a celebration, and every love story feels like the first all over again.

“Working with Lavenderie Photos was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Their communication was fast and professional, making the entire planning process seamless and stress-free. They went above and beyond by driving four hours to our venue and staying late to capture our after party, which meant the world to us. The quality of their work exceeded our expectations and the pricing fit perfectly within our budget. What really impressed us was how quickly everything came back—sneak peeks within 24 hours and the full gallery completed in just three to four weeks. Both photographers were genuinely kind and easy to work with, and I'd recommend them in a heartbeat to any couple looking for someone who truly cares about capturing their day.”

It’s me, showing up with my whole heart to create something that feels true to you. If you want your story told with integrity, emotion, and reverence, you're in the right place.
