I had high hopes, but they completely went beyond anything I could have dreamed. The photos are stunning, like every single one could be framed. My husband and I both looked at each other when we first saw them and said “wow.” The video is something I’ll never get tired of watching it captures the whole day perfectly. They worked so hard but were always smiling and encouraging us. Even my shy little niece looks comfortable and happy in the photos, which is rare. The editing is classic and clean, not overdone. Everyone who’s seen it has asked who did our photos because they’re that good. I feel so lucky we chose them.

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

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
We cannot say enough good things about Keel and Co! We originally chose Trisha to capture our engagement photos because she had a reputation for being great with dogs, and we planned to have ours included. We were not disappointed! She was so great with getting and keeping their attention. A bonus was that she helped me coordinate our outfits for the best look. As the wedding got closer, Trisha was great at keeping us on track with photo lists and planning. She worked so well with our coordinator, and together, and they made sure we had plenty of time to get any and all photos we wanted. Trisha's husband, Josh, is her second shooter, and working with the two of them was so fun! They brought so much energy and calmed the chaos when needed. Our family was impressed with their organization, and our bridal party said it was some of the most fun they've had taking wedding photos. We've gotten half of our photos back so far and are completely over the moon as we wait for the rest. Trisha is truly amazing, as I continue to tell any and all of our friends. We can't recommend Keel and Co 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

We are so happy we chose Lucia to capture our elopement. Lucia is professional, fast to respond to emails and texts, helpful with decisions, accommodating to any requests, concerns, and excited to give advice. Duncan and I really wanted our photographer to capture our true emotion and to get candids of us, and Lucia DID THAT! The day felt blissful and a key point for us was that we got to enjoy the day without it feeling solely like a photoshoot which I think speaks to Lucias talent and confidence in her craft. She was good at giving guiding advice for posing without us feeling posed. I put together a Pinterest board and shot list which she really did a great job pulling inspiration from. The photos are stunning and the exact style we envisioned. Also, our sneak peak was huge and she got them to us very fast.

We also utilized Jules for our videography and we are in love with our wedding video. You can really tell when you watch our video and look at our photos that we had a photographer who just loves love. She told our love story so beautifully. You can also tell that she knows so much about composition, lighting, etc. She does a great job with giving directions for where to stand and poses to do for those of us who know nothing about getting our picture taken. Not only is she an incredibly talented and gifted artist in her photography, but she is a total gem to work and spend the day with. She was also super communicative and professional throughout the entire process, went above and beyond and stayed late to get pics at our after party, and as an added bonus she was amazing with the kids in our wedding party and getting them to smile for the camera! We could literally go on and on about how amazing she was.

Moe was our photographer for our wedding ceremony and reception and she is an absolute gem! She had such a long day with us at two locations, and constantly went above and beyond! Her energy was so fun it elevated our happiness. We had multiple guests complimenting her photography and personality throughout the night. Moe is professional, meeting with us early on to get a feel for our priorities. She is detail-oriented and had lists of shots we wanted and shots she wanted to make happen for us. We really appreciated her help with natural posing and her use and knowledge of multiple techniques including drone footage and film. There is not one sweet moment that was missed. We tend to be camera shy and feel awkward, but she made us so comfortable it felt like hanging out with a friend. She also pulled off having a large sample of our intimate ceremony pictures to be broadcasted just hours later for our larger reception. She more than accommodated all of our requests and we trust her vision completely. We cannot praise Moe enough. We're going to have to find more reasons for photoshoots with her because she is so talented and lovely to work with!

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.

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
