Hi, I’m Carli! I’m the owner and lead photographer behind Cedar + Bloom, based in Washington, Iowa. I’m also a wife, mom of four, and Facebook marketplace addict. I’ve spent the last decade photographing weddings, and I still get a little emotional watching people marry their favorite person. My photographs are warm, earthy, and full of life. I love a beautiful portrait, but I’m just as drawn to your mom tearing up, your grandparents holding hands, and the laughter you couldn’t recreate if you tried. Those are the things I want you to have years from now.

“They captured all the candid moments I didn’t even notice. My husband and I are always a little awkward in photos, but they made it easy and fun. The pictures show so much personality and love.

Love Knot Photography

  • Editorial style

  • 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
“Isaac was absolutely fantastic to work with, and we couldn't be happier we chose Love Knot Photography for our wedding. From the start, what stood out was how much he cared about capturing the actual feeling of the day rather than just working through a checklist of poses. He and his co-photographer had a great eye for the in-between moments — the little glances, the laughter, the chaos of getting ready — alongside all the formal shots we expected. Looking through our gallery afterward, so many of our favorite photos are ones we didn't even know were being taken. He was also just easy and calm to have around on a hectic day, which mattered more than we realized it would. Weddings move fast, and having a photographer who was unobtrusive but always exactly where he needed to be took one more thing off our minds. One of the things we appreciated most: he and his co-photographer stayed well past the time included in our package, all the way until we started dancing. That extra stretch of time meant they captured some of the best — and funniest — photos of the whole night, catching our friends and family completely in their element on the dance floor. It wasn't something we asked for; they just wanted to make sure they got the shots. Isaac also went well beyond the package once it came to editing. Our contract included 300 retouched photos, but we ended up with around 550 edited images and 717 total files between web and print resolution, including alternate crops and versions of several favorites. It's clear he genuinely cared about giving us as much of the day as possible, not just fulfilling a contract. We're so glad we chose Love Knot Photography, and we'll be treasuring these photos for years to come. If you're looking for a photographer who will genuinely capture your day rather than just document it, Isaac is who you want.”

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
“Caz was VERY professional, very kind. He had a vision that aligned so so perfectly with ours. I LOVE his approach towards photos, that he captures genuine moments not posed photos. We took around an hour of actual posed photos and after that he was in the background, you would catch a glimpse of him taking photos from around the room and let me tell you WHEN I GOT OUR PHOTOS BACK I WAS SHOCKED!!! They were absolutely stunning. He was so so kind and so so amazing, at a very reasonable price. I would give him more stars if I could.”

“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”

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.

“Working with Diana was a pleasure from start to finish. The photography was one of the most important aspects to me, because I wanted every detail to be captured perfectly - and wow, did she (and her second shooter) do just that. Not only did her pictures capture all of the emotions, details of our wedding, and perfectly captured our friendships, families, and love but they went above and beyond to care for my husband and I throughout the day. Running for water, fanning to keep me cool, and even scrubbing my dress with all of my bridesmaids in a small bathroom after a drink was spilt on it. Her services go beyond just our big day, Diana is someone who has cared for us even after our wedding and continues to reach out. If there was one vendor I would specifically recommend, it would be Diana.”

Relaxed, Easy going with a Refined, editorial wedding photography rooted in connection, emotional storytelling. I photograph weddings with a calm, intentional approach, blending editorial direction with natural, unscripted moments. My goal is to create images that feel effortless, elevated, and deeply personal, so when you look back, you don’t just see how it looked, you remember exactly how it felt. Your story unfolds naturally.

“Hiring Keri-Ann as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We are a very private couple a s she respected this. Our celebration was a three-day Indian and American wedding weekend, which meant there were so many meaningful traditions, family moments, and emotions to capture and Keri-Ann handled it all flawlessly. From the very beginning, she was incredibly professional, kind, and genuinely invested in telling our story. She took the time to understand our traditions and made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. Her presence felt calming during moments that could have easily become stressful, and she helped guide us through the timeline so we could actually enjoy our wedding. What truly stood out was how far she went above and beyond for us. One of my close friends was flying in from another country and arrived later than expected, and I really wanted photos with her. Without hesitation, Keri-Ann changed her return flight and stayed an extra night just so we could do that session. She didn’t charge us anything additional for her time the only cost was covering her extra hotel night. That level of care and flexibility meant so much to us. When we received our photos, we were absolutely blown away. Every image felt emotional, elegant, and timeless. She captured the beauty of our traditions, the joy of our families coming together, and all the little moments we didn’t even realize were happening. Looking through the gallery felt like reliving the entire weekend. Keri-Ann is not just a photographer she is someone who truly cares about her couples and the memories she preserves for them. If you want someone who is talented, thoughtful, and willing to go the extra mile for you, she is the photographer you want by your side. Fatima”
