Love Knot Photography

  • Editorial style

  • Serves Rensselaer Falls, NY

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.

Hi, I'm Danny! My passion is to capture couples & their love story in a timeless way. I like to describe my style as a fusion between story-telling & editorial. I lean into true-to-life colors with a warm ambience and posing that's timeless but also interwoven with an editorial flare that's unique, artistic, and stylish. I also love incorporating story-telling stills that involve movement rather than a bunch of photos that feel "stiff" or overly posed. Story-telling moments bring wedding galleries life! I’d love the opportunity to connect with you, and hear more about your wedding vision!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Danny captured every single moment perfectly throughout our entire wedding day! He was amazing to communicate with during the planning process, and created our day-of schedule to make sure we had time for everything that we wanted to have photographed that day. Our next-day previews were so beautiful , and the final gallery (which was delivered so quickly) was even better than what we could have imagined. It was so special to see all of the small, intimate moments that Danny photographed as well that we were not able to see ourselves that day. We are so beyond grateful that we had Danny as our wedding photographer, he is truly the best person that we could’ve asked for to capture our wedding day!

Hi! I'm Rebecca, a New Jersey based wedding photographer serving sentimental and joyous couples in the tri-state area. I have a deep love for animals, baking, and anything nerdy. On a non-wedding day, you'll most likely find me gardening or hiking!

We had the most amazing experience with Rebecca and the Luna and Lark team! I feel so grateful to have met Rebecca. Not only is she extremely talented from a photography perspective she is also an awesome person who you want with you on your wedding day. I’d typically be the type of bride who would need to follow a strict schedule but after working with Rebecca I realized how important it was to be in the moment on our wedding day. I was able to completely trust her team to get our pictures done without taking away from enjoying every second. Rebecca has a special way of capturing the “required” shots but also capturing just genuine moments from the day which I know we will cherish forever. Working with professional photographer’s can also feel intimidating especially if you’re not use to it, I promise you will not feel that way with Luna and Lark both my husband and I felt like we were having fun with friends which I think is so rare for wedding photography. Rebecca also sent us a sneak peak of our wedding pictures within 48 hours which was so unexpected but truly appreciated. I could go on and on about how amazing this team is! Seriously Rebecca even re curled my hair before I walked down the aisle! I will forever cherish my wedding day and my wedding photos thanks to this amazing team!

Awarded Best of Zola
Shukhrat and his wife Rachel just shot our June 8th wedding and we couldn't be happier. They were amazing to work with and the photos are phenomenal! About the pictures: Shukhrat is versatile and very skilled. When we took our engagement photos he provided us with various styles of photos and editing, and then used our feedback to guide the photos he took at our wedding. He is also flexible. We got married in a city park and there were wayyyy more people in the park than we were expecting at 6:00pm at night. Without missing any of the candid details or true-to-life colors that we wanted, Shukhrat was able to frame the photos and/or alter the lighting so that the park goers were barely visible in the background. Both Shukhrat and Rachel are also very skilled at giving direction when needed, but letting you do your own thing the rest of the time. Neither my husband nor I have a lot of experience in front of a camera—they gave us enough direction to feel confident, without making us feel stifled or overly posed. We wanted photos that felt organic and genuine, and they were really able to capture that. Working with Shukhrat and Rachel: The two of them were a dream to work with. Incredibly professional--very communicative, punctual, quick turnaround time on photos. And they are also just lovely people. You spend so much time on your wedding day with your photographers, it's really important to feel comfortable with them, and we certainly did. They brought both a fun, but calming energy, easing our pre-wedding jitters before the ceremony, and leaning into the excitement as the night went on. Although we hardly know them, they felt like friends. We are so glad we booked Shukhrat for our wedding!

King is seriously a dream to work with! From the first time we talked, we just knew they were the right choice. He’s so down-to-earth and made us feel totally at ease, which was huge because neither of us are super comfortable in front of a camera. He helped us with posing when we needed it (thank you for making us look like we knew what we were doing!), but also just let us be ourselves, which resulted in the most natural, beautiful photos. He totally captured the vibe of our day, especially the reception. The energy, the laughter, the dancing—everything was perfectly documented. We couldn’t have asked for better photos that really tell the story of our celebration. We’re beyond happy with how everything turned out!

A photographer with 10 years of experience specializing in love stories, portraiture, and immortalizing a moment filled to the brim with feeling. I’m French, which means I have aways been attracted to beauty, art, and romance & love to have a good time; my photography embodies this. When I am not behind the camera I enjoy eating good food and drinking wine (again, I’m French), going on roadtrips with my wonderful boyfriend, Max, and cuddling up with a good book - my favorite is The Pillars of the Earth - and my cutie pie cat, Jack.

Awarded Best of Zola
I met Coco when she took my headshots in her NYC studio. She is absolutely magnetic and incredibly fun to be around. I don't think anyone could keep their guard up around Coco - she makes you feel immediately comfortable and confident. This not only makes the experience stress-free, but also makes for absolutely beautiful, authentic photos that capture you at your best. I had recently gotten engaged, so when she mentioned her new focus on engagement/wedding photos I knew I needed to hire her! Our engagement shoot around our NYC neighborhood was a joy to do (even on a cold and rainy November day, and with my slightly camera-shy now-husband). Coco provides so much communication and support throughout the process, so you're never left wondering "what do I do with my hands?" "do I look crazy with this smile?" Those photos came out FANTASTIC. So cool, creative, unique, and exactly matching my vision. It also made my husband feel much more confident going into the wedding day. He felt safe with Coco! On the actual wedding day, I was genuinely glad to have Coco and her 2nd shooter Bailey around. They both had chill but fun energy and didn't add an ounce of stress - it really felt just like just 2 more fabulous friends around. My day was a bit complicated with my husband and I having separate getting ready locations and no first look. Coco confidently took the lead to make sure everything was executed flawlessly, even with unexpected hold-ups and changes to plan. I absolutely love the final product of the wedding photos. Nothing feels stuffy and posed, and they all capture what the evening really felt like. She even put together a video reel of key moments that really transports the viewer to the day. Pure vibes, love, and warmth. ZERO cheesiness! I would recommend Coco to any couple looking for something modern, romantic, warm, vibey, and unique. I'm sure she would also slay traditional posed wedding photos, but her talent truly shines in her authentic style.

I was a 2025 bride, and to be completely transparent, we originally planned to spend no more than 3,500 on a wedding photographer. After speaking with Candy, we decided to invest 2,000 more than our initial budget, and it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Candy’s communication is truly exceptional—you can immediately tell she loves what she does. She is incredibly creative, adapts effortlessly to any situation, and brings such a calm, confident presence. She’s never pushy, yet she directs with grace, which made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. My husband and I were married at 21c Museum Hotel in Durham, and we wanted a blend of elegant, traditional wedding photos along with fun, fashion-forward, editorial-style images—and Candy absolutely delivered on both. Her editorial shots look so effortless, even though you can tell there’s a lot of intention and artistry behind them. We inquired with five different wedding photographers, but we immediately connected with Candy—her personality, professionalism, and stunning work stood out from the rest. Beyond her talent, she is genuinely one of the sweetest, most humble, and human people you’ll ever meet. Candy offers a truly elevated wedding photography experience, and I would recommend her without hesitation to any couple looking for timeless, editorial, and heartfelt wedding photography.

Love is what motivates and inspires me every single day. I am a hopeless romantic, and absolutely love every sentimental moment of a wedding. I strive to capture real moments, genuine smiles, and raw emotion.

Jenna was absolutely the best decision we made in the entire wedding process. Not only does she produce incredible work but she also has the most amazing aura about her. On a very busy and bustling day, she remained calm and brought a light hearted fun energy. It truly feels like one of your best friends is taking your photos. It was exactly what I needed on that day. I feel so very blessed that we had Jenna as our photographer. The number of compliments I have received on our photos is CRAZY and that is all thanks to Jenna. I would recommend Jenna to literally everyone that I know! Her work is beautiful, her energy is amazing, and she is so organized. What more could a bride want?! Do yourself a favor and book Jenna!

I’m Cameron, a husband and photographer who got my start in commercial and fashion work before falling in love with weddings while planning my own. I focus on editorial-style weddings, with a special love for candid, unscripted moments—the jokes from the speeches, the look of joy on relatives face, the tearing up during the ceremony. All these things that make each day unforgettable. The moments I cherish from my own wedding are the ones I aim to capture for my clients, so you can relive them for years to come.

If you want a photographer who just gets it and shows real joy about capturing your day, Cam is your person! He is the easiest to communicate with and was a pleasure to work with. We had guests coming up to us all night complementing Cam, from how hard working he is to how friendly he is. Truly felt like Cam was an invited guest. He knew our vision and executed it perfectly! Great mix between guided pictures and in the moment shots. I couldn’t be happier!

Hello couples! Ive spent a lot of my career working with celebrities and professional athletes all over the world but have always had a connection with the wedding photography world and decided to go full time with that a few years ago! Im here because I love this, and believe that EVERYONE should have access to affordable, quality coverage for their special day. Id be honored to shoot your special day and seek out every moment I can for you, your family and your friends!

I can’t say enough about how incredible our experience was with Eric as our wedding photographer. Located at the Jersey Shore, where most photographers focus on sunny beach weddings, I was looking for something different. Our wedding took place in the fall, full of rich earth tones and a fun, edgy vibe that centered not just on romance, but on the presence of our children. It was important to us that the day felt authentic, emotional, and full of movement. And, just to make it more fun, ours was a Halloween wedding. We had a formal ceremony followed by a costume reception, and Eric embraced every bit of it. He didn’t just roll with our unique requests—he elevated them. He found the perfect location: a hidden gem that was edgy, raw, and exactly what I didn’t even know I was hoping for. The backdrop had this cinematic, timeless feel that makes you wonder “where in the world could they be,” which paired beautifully with our nontraditional theme. Photographing four young kids is no easy task, especially on such a big day. But Eric’s speed, patience, and instincts were unbelievable. He captured fleeting moments—tiny glances, quick smiles, the chaos and joy of our family—without ever losing sight of the romance and connection between me and my husband. Every image tells a story. Every photo feels felt. If you’re looking for a photographer who goes beyond the typical and brings a true artistic eye to your day—especially one that includes children, unconventional details, or an untraditional setting—Eric is your guy. We will treasure these photos forever.
