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

  • Serves Midland City, AL

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.

We had a small backyard wedding, and I worried the photos wouldn’t feel “special.” I couldn’t have been more wrong. They turned our little ceremony into something magical through their lens. The way they used natural light was unreal. They took time to get to know us, and it shows in every picture. Now it looks like a fairytale even though it was just our home. We’ll cherish those memories forever.

I’m Tayler: a storyteller at heart, a wife to my best friend, and a firm believer that marriage is one of the most sacred and joy-filled journeys we can experience. My morning isn't complete until I've made my bed & had my iced coffee. If traveling the world is involved, count me in! There is so much beauty and inspiration to be found on this side of Heaven, and I want to experience as much of it as possible. My English Bulldog Joey is always the center of my attention & most importantly, I hold my faith close and believe every love story is a gift worth honoring.

From the moment we met Tayler Ann, we knew she was the right fit for our beach wedding. She kept us in the loop every step of the way and made sure we understood exactly what to expect, including timelines and other photography details, which took so much stress out of the planning process. On the day of our wedding, her sweet personality made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera, and she captured all the small yet special details that tell our love story. The photos came back dreamy and beautiful—honestly, we couldn't have asked for better value. What really blew us away was how quick she was with the previews; we got home from our honeymoon to a sneak peek waiting for us, which made the whole experience even more special. We'd recommend Tayler Ann to any couple looking for a photographer who cares about getting it right.

Brooklyn Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)

  • Serves Midland City, AL

No two weddings are exactly the same and neither should be the way it is photographed. Brooklyn finds inspiration in the details that each couple bring to their day; the way the shadows play off the architecture of your venue; the contrast of lace with the wild grass in a field; and, every detail makes for a beautiful collage of your day. Brooklyn enjoys photographing a mixture of candid and posed to create photographs that complement each other but are unique in themselves. Dynamic black and white photographs and color photographs true to life are her preferred way of photographing any wedding or couple

Brooke is very talented and I have hired her several times. She listens to what you want, works hard to achieve and nails it every time. I highly recommend Brooklyn Photography!

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.
