Hey you! My name is Lexi Lowe! I am the girl behind the camera capturing all your special moments. As a photographer I enjoy having fun with you and giving you the best experience. My portraits are full of bold, vibrant colors. I am providing you with an experience unlike any other through building connections and fun filled moments. I enjoy creating an experience with my clients. Building connections with people is something I really enjoy the most about being a photographer! Of course I love a beautiful image as well, but I truly believe that building a deeper connection is how you create that beautiful photo.

We have worked many weddings with Lexi and her team over the years. She is one of our favorites to work with. She is great with the couples and their guest making the day fun and easy. Her work is always on point and the final pictures speak for themselves.

The Talented Photographer was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, Alec's communication style was fun, professional, and incredibly personable. He had a true passion for his craft that shone through in every interaction. The quality of Alec's work was absolutely stunning - we got a wonderful variety of candids, formal shots, and editorial-style pictures that captured all the special moments of our day. Alec has an incredible eye for the right shots, and the final photos are absolutely gorgeous. Despite a complicated location schedule that I was worried about, Alec made the whole day seamless, traveling to over 4 different spots to ensure we got all the groupings and special shots we wanted. Alec truly went above and beyond, and we had such a great time working with him. I'm obsessed with the pictures and would give him an 11/10 rating!

Love Knot Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (27 reviews)
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Lake City, SC

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.

I’m based in North Georgia, but always happy to travel wherever the love (and the good vibes) take me... I believe wedding photos should be the kind you hold onto forever ..the ones that make you feel something every single time you look at them. If you’re loving my work and feel like we might be the right fit, I’d love to connect! I take on a limited number of weddings each year so I can really get to know my couples. You’re not just another booking to me.. I truly care about creating a connection, capturing your story, and hopefully becoming friends along the way (besties if we’re lucky!!

Bohemewinterphotography was absolutely perfect for our surprise engagement photo shoot. From the very beginning, Ivanna coordinated seamlessly with my fiancé to plan and execute the surprise proposal—and she captured the exact moment he asked and I said “yes.” She even flew from Georgia to Florida to be there for us, which speaks volumes about her dedication and professionalism. Her communication was quick, reliable, and incredibly thoughtful, making the entire process stress-free (even with all the secrecy involved!). She went above and beyond by scouting local locations in person to find the perfect backdrop, ensuring every detail was just right. The photos are stunning—professional, creative, and full of emotion. She didn’t just take pictures; she captured a once-in-a-lifetime moment that we will cherish forever. The experience was seamless, joyful, and truly memorable. If you’re looking for a photographer who is detail-oriented, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in telling your story, Bohemewinterphotography is the one. We couldn’t be happier.

Wow… I don’t even know where to start, but the stars literally aligned with Dani (and Jed) from Elle & Co Photography. I found Dani while scrolling bridal Facebook groups, which can be… a lot. Trying not to assume the worst from all the horror stories. I came across her and immediately knew she was it. I sent the message and crossed my fingers. Her photos were exactly the vibe we were going for. We chose to elope near Sleeping Bear Dunes for a reason… the color of the water, the fall tones, all of it. And Mother Nature gave us the most imperfectly perfect day. Wind, sand, rain… you name it. THANKFULLY we had Dani to capture it all. The amount of time, energy, and care she put into our day (and our reception back in Indy... we booked her for both) was beyond anything we expected. Her communication was top notch. She scouted, scouted, and then scouted again. Plans, backup plans, backup backup plans… which we absolutely needed. Most importantly she kept us on. time! We literally showed up to our ceremony spot and got hit with a “nope, not today” thanks to a government shutdown… even though we had permits and confirmations. But Dani already had her little hidden gem location ready to go, and it ended up being incredible. Like… better than what we had originally planned. And let’s talk about the conditions… late October on Lake Michigan, 25 mph winds, sand flying everywhere, and easily 10,000 steps trekking through dunes to chase the best views. Dani was everywhere at once making sure we got every shot. And Jed… running through sand like he trained for this moment. The two of them together are the dream team. Whatever it takes, they make it happen. They didn’t miss a single moment. From travel time to the ceremony, to the little in-between shots… even getting the perfect fall leaves shot with the Sleeping Bear Dunes sign (yes, it took a plenty of tries and yes, it was worth it). Champagne, lanterns, sparklers back at the domes… they captured all of it. And gave us just enough direction so we looked our best without ever feeling staged. And even after all of that, Dani went back and edited like crazy to balance out the fact that while we "looked fine"… we were most definitely freezing. The final photos are unreal. Our day was made by friends, family, and chosen family… and we’re so happy to add Dani and Jed to that circle. #PhotosToFriends for life!

Hi, my name is Maria Turner! I am a documentary style photographer capturing love stories on both film and digital. I am a homegrown and local Winston-Salem, NC girl with a second location in Boston, MA. You can usually find me along the upper east coast, but I happily offer my services within the USA with $0 travel feels. If you are interested in working together, please visit my website to see a little more about me, my work, and how I can help you make your wedding day visions real.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you have the opportunity to work with Maria we recommend you take that chance while you’ve got it. She is an AMAZING photographer, fun to work with, and is so thoughtful/ helpful during the planning journey. We’ve already had a friend say they’d hit her up if they get married because they loved our experience and photos so much. 10000% could not recommend her enough. When we were looking for a wedding and engagement photographer we wanted someone who was creative in their shots, had crystal clear photo quality, and had a true to life/vibrant photography style - and Maria was the perfect fit! We had a phone consultation where she asked thoughtful questions to get to know us as a couple but also helped asked things related to photography to help us communicate our desires and ensure she was the right fit. Maria wants her couples to have the dreamiest day and I loved how intentional she was with helping us communicate our vision - she’s the pro and knew exactly what to ask to get us thinking! We were immediately obsessed and left in awe at some sample galleries, so we signed right away. When it came time for our engagement photos we had this super fun pre-shoot questionnaire that once again consisted of thoughtful questions (our planner was SO impressed with them), such as if there were any specific shots we wanted or our comfort level with photos. My now husband and I sat down with wine and went through the questions together, so that itself was a fun planning experience. We’re not the most comfortable in front the camera so it was cool to feel seen and have her understand us before we arrived to the shoot. And let me tell you we had the BEST time! We felt comfortable so quickly and the shoot flew by. The photos turned out AMAZING and we got even more excited for the wedding. Before the wedding we had a questionnaire to go over our desires for the wedding (and even had a chance to put secret info if you had any surprises for people or just wanted her to be aware of certain family dynamics you don’t want widely disseminated). On our wedding day Maria even handled a situation for us when we asked for help and she was the most discreet and professional and got us taken care of. We just got our full gallery back and the photos are the dreamiest - incredible sunset photos, creative and thoughtful detail shots, and excellent photos of our guests. The gallery captures our day perfectly and is everything and more than we could have asked for. Maria is timely, talented, professional, a cool person, and is someone we’d hire again in a heartbeat. Plus, she’s always down for an adventure so if you want to travel I’m sure she’ll be happy to meet you there and help make your photography dreams come true. We will cherish our engagement and wedding photos forever. All photos credited to Maria at MTD Photo Co.

I truly love working with weddings. I’m happily married, I have a wonderful wife and two kids, and family means everything to me that’s why I treat your day with the same care and respect I would my own. I’m happy to be part of this new chapter in your life. On your wedding day, my full attention is on you & your story, emotions, and moments. I believe great preparation is 90% of success, which is why I always arrive early to check the venue, light, timeline, and details. I’m easygoing, connect naturally with people, and work calmly and kindly so you feel relaxed as much as possible.

Roman from Roman Travel Weddings has a quiet confidence that puts you at ease from day one. He handled all the planning details upfront and coordinated perfectly with our timeline and coordinator, which meant we didn't have to worry about anything on the actual day. During the ceremony and reception, he blended into the background while somehow capturing every moment that mattered to us. We were able to relax and just be present with our guests, which is exactly what we wanted. When we saw the final gallery, it felt like he'd told the story of our wedding through his lens—each photo thoughtfully chosen and arranged. Roman is the kind of photographer who lets you focus on celebrating while he focuses on the art, and that's worth everything.

We had a fantastic time working with Hannah and Matt for photography and videography at our wedding. They were very professional and were very good about keeping up with timelines and getting things moving. Having a large wedding party (25), we were worried about how we were going to make everyone fit well in the photos, but they did a great job capturing multiple angles of everyone. We just got our sneak peeks back and they are amazing. Before the wedding we were able to communicate with them what we wanted in terms of types of shots, day of timeline, and feel of the video. With how chaotic the day felt, working with Hannah and Matt on our couples shots made us feel more connected. Honestly, the best money we spent on our wedding.

From the moment we first reached out to Big Day Story Carolinas, they were quick to respond and incredibly attentive to our needs. Their communication was seamless and easy to work with, which instantly put us at ease during the wedding planning process. On the day of our wedding, Sanjay and the team captured the most breathtaking and heartfelt photos, perfectly documenting all the special moments we hadn’t even thought to plan for.
