Sutton Photography Studio 
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Magnolia, NC

My photography journey began as a teenager with a tiny Le Clic 110 camera & hounding my parents for film money. Years later, my husband gifted me my first DSLR, a Canon EOS Rebel T2i, and turned into my passion. That camera traveled with me to Rome, where I truly fell in love with capturing the world through my lens. I later earned my associate’s degree in Photographic Technology, graduating with honors in 2012. Over the years I’ve photographed everything from newborns to rock bands, even doing freelance work for RockstarCulture. These days, I focus closer to home, telling real stories through authentic moments of laughter, tears, and joy.

He is responsive to all questions and requests which made the planning process a breeze.

I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

Awarded Best of Zola
“My husband and I were from out of town and hired Sean to photograph us at a Christmas gala at the place we got married. He was accommodating to last minute changes to make the most of the session and even went above and beyond to make it happen. Upon first impression, he was upbeat and had a vision. We were outside in sub 30 degree weather with fading evening light as well as low light inside a building and he was up for the challenge. We ended up with beautiful images in less than ideal conditions and that is what makes a great photographer. Sean has a sense of humor and an eye for that perfect photograph. He was fun to work with and his heart for people and creativity shows through. Thank you Sean for capturing this time in our lives.”

Awarded Best of Zola
“I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Brayley. From start to finish, she was hands down one of the BEST decisions we made for our wedding. I originally found her on Instagram and immediately fell in love with her work. From our very first consultation, I knew I wanted her as our photographer. She was so incredibly sweet, knowledgeable, and intentional with the questions she asked. She genuinely wanted to get to know us and make sure our personalities, vision, and overall vibe were a good fit for her photography style — and that level of care continued through the entire process. Once we booked her, she made everything SO easy. She checked in with us throughout the planning process, sent update emails, always offered to help however she could, and gave us the most detailed resources to prepare for the wedding day. She had checklists for detail photos, preference sheets, planning documents — seriously, everything you could possibly think of. I never once felt like I had to wonder what she needed from me because she had already thought of it. And then came the wedding day… Brayley was absolutely INCREDIBLE. We only booked her without a second photographer, and somehow she managed to capture our entire night so perfectly. She was everywhere without ever feeling intrusive. She never made us feel rushed or stressed, even when we were running a little behind while getting ready. She rolled with everything, kept things moving, and somehow even managed to wrangle all of the boys and get every group photo we wanted. What I loved most, though, was how much I trusted her creatively. We gave her the freedom to do what she does best, and she gave us photos that are more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. She captured the big moments, the tiny moments, the emotions, the people we love, and so many little pieces of our wedding that I didn’t even realize were happening at the time. Looking through our gallery genuinely feels like reliving our wedding night. I tear up EVERY SINGLE TIME I look through our photos. She didn’t just give us beautiful wedding pictures — she gave my husband and me the ability to go back and experience one of the best nights of our lives over and over again. If you are looking at Brayley’s work and considering booking her, DO IT. There is absolutely no one else I would have wanted behind the camera on our wedding day. She is talented, organized, patient, kind, creative, and just an absolute joy to work with. Brayley, THANK YOU for capturing our wedding so beautifully and giving us photos we will treasure for the rest of our lives. I truly cannot recommend you enough.”

We communicated over the phone and through email, he always answered every time I called, ready to listen and note my requests. The day of, the photographer Michael booked for us, Michaela Gardener drove hours to be there for our special day and even brought an assistant. She was willing to be hands on all day, treated my children like family and even stayed late to capture extra shots. Her experience shows from her work. Both the DJ and Photographer arrived early to set up and are experienced business owners. The photos are great quality and high resolution. They came out so beautiful, even with our imperfect family and little ones running around, she somehow made us look great. We are so satisfied and blown away by how the pictures turned out that every little thing that didn’t go as planned that day just melted away because the photos just perfectly captured our love and the great time our guests had.

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.

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 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.”

I’m Kate — Ukrainian-born, Carolina-based, and the kind of photographer who will fix your veil, tell you exactly what to do with your hands, cry behind my camera during your dad’s speech, and somehow still notice your grandma tearing up across the room. I’ve been photographing people since 2018, and I’ve learned that the best wedding photos rarely come from trying to create a “perfect” wedding day. They come from actually having a really good one. I love incredible dresses, gorgeous light, old architecture, 35mm film, and portraits that could live in a magazine — but I love the champagne-popping, hair-coming-undone, friends-losing-it-on-the-dance-floor moments just as much.
