Kim Sinton Wedding Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,200
  • Serves Riverside, IA

For me, wedding photography begins with candid storytelling — the unscripted glances, the laughter, the quiet breath before a first look. After twenty years behind the camera, photographing a wide range of weddings across many different styles and settings, I still feel genuine excitement for every couple and every story I get to document. Those honest, in-between moments are what make each day unrepeatable, and capturing them is the part I love most.

Kim did an excellent job photographing our wedding. We received a great number of high-quality photos, and I was impressed by the composition, lighting, and overall quality. He also captured many natural and meaningful moments throughout the day that we will always treasure. I would gladly recommend Kim to couples looking for a talented and dependable wedding photographer.

Elinor Jane Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Riverside, IA

For the longest time, I wondered what made a great photographer? Is it an expensive camera and equipment, or maybe the extensive education and fancy extra letter in your degree? The answer became clear to me that everyone can take a photo, but not just anyone can capture a moment. While those things help make up a photographer what is consistently remembered is how you tell a story through an image.

So many compliments from my guests about not only the photography itself but, also about our photographer!! Elinor was fantastic and helped me stay calm and focused throughout the hectic day that it was!!

Howdy! I am Olivia Erenberger (pronounced Aaron Burger, like the hamburger) your fun and quirky and boho, Jesus loving, Texas country obsessed photographer based out of Tampa, Florida and Solon, Iowa. While wedding photography is my main squeeze, I fill the rest of my time with capturing life's best moments including family photography, high school senior photography, Maternity photography, Rodeo event Photography, and other portraits around Florida and Iowa.

Olivia was so easy to work with. She came prepared to help organize a wild bridal party, and everyone loved her! She stayed through most of the reception to capture precious moments, which was few hours past what we expected! No demand for more pay she just works that hard for her couples! The pictures turned out amazing!

Kayza & Vine Creative Co. 
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Riverside, IA

During my time at The University of Iowa, I immersed myself in the world of art, majoring in Studio Art. My coursework encompassed a wide range of disciplines, including art history, photography, design, painting, drawing, ceramics, printmaking, and metalworking. While I loved exploring these various mediums, I found myself torn between them, unable to decide on a single career path. One night, a brilliant idea struck me: I didn't have to choose. This realization sparked the creation of Kayza & Vine Creative Co., a photography studio that allows me to combine my passion for art with my love of capturing moments and stories through the lens.

Awarded Best of Zola
I’ve always dreamed about my wedding photos since I was a little girl. These turned out better than any dream. The way they captured my dress in the wind looked magical. They also got so many candid smiles that I didn’t know I was even making. My best friend said she’s never seen me so happy and the photos prove it. The video is stunning too, especially the vows part with close-ups. My dad is tough but he said it made him cry, which shocked me. I loved how they stayed late to get our sparkler sendoff. The colors, the lighting, the emotions, it’s all perfect. Even little things like my shoes and bouquet were captured beautifully. I feel like I can live the day over and over. It’s more than I ever hoped for.

From quiet, intimate glances to joyful, unscripted laughter, we focus on the moments you’ll feel just as much years from now. If you value connection, authenticity, and images that tell a story—not just pose for one—we might be the perfect fit.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I were beyond impressed with our entire experience with Debra Aslanidis Photography. From start to finish Debra made my experience as a bride so smooth and stress-free. Wedding planning can be a stressful process, but Debra provided excellent communication about what to expect leading up to the wedding and the day of, so we felt very at ease the entire time. When I ran into an unrelated issue (a problem with another vendor), Debra reached out and sent me recommendations and offered support while I dealt with the situation. It was unbelievably kind and not at all expected, but it really made me feel cared for and I appreciated Debra going above and beyond for me! On the day of our wedding, Debra and her partner Jeremy were absolutely phenomenal. For one, they worked so perfectly together. We had guests complimenting how well they worked and coordinated together! I seriously can’t thank them enough for not only being amazing photographers, but also helping with other tasks that they voluntarily did. I seriously felt like they assumed the role of our wedding coordinators at times, since we didn’t have one, by providing suggestions and opinions since they’re the experienced ones when it comes to weddings! I couldn’t be more thankful for their confidence and comfortability in doing so! Finally, I am seriously blown away by the fact that we got our photos about a month after our wedding day! Debra has worked weddings, engagement shoots, and other photoshoots every single weekend and has a family, yet still managed to bust her butt to finish our photos, and it was the best surprise to get our photos back right before celebrating one month of marriage. I am so in love with our photos and have looked at them every single day, multiple times a day, since getting them back. Photos are the one thing you keep from your wedding day (besides your memories!), and I am absolutely in love with the final photos! The editing is beautiful, and I’m so happy we prioritized finding a photographer who emphasizes the behind-the-scenes and candid moments. I love that our pictures are 100% in the moment and capture the real, raw emotions of everyone! There were several detailed shots of our venue and decor and I love those just as much as I love the ones of me, my husband, our families, and our friends! They’re all so stunning!! Our photos made me laugh, cry, audibly say “awww,” and smile the biggest, cheesy grin. I absolutely believe your photographer is one of the most important vendors you choose for your wedding day, and I would 1000% recommend Debra Aslanidis Photography to everyone I know!!

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 came recommended from a friend who did their engagement and wedding photos with him. We were also fortunate to have done our proposal, engagement and wedding photos with Isaac! He is so professional and comfortable to be around. My husband and I dont usually like to take photos, because we are self conscious, but Isaac took care of us. I am so grateful we came across LoveKnot and will always highly recommend them for anyone's special occasion.

We planned our wedding from all the way across the country (Florida to California) so we already had challenges. From the beginning, the price was great and the photos looked promising, so we decided to go for it and we are so glad we did! Turned out to be well worth it. Michael connected with us immediately, assured us he would make it happen and not to worry about a thing. 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. Wedding planning can be very stressful and chaotic and so I’m very glad we found someone to make this part of the wedding easy. All within our budget. Two less things we had to stress about and lucky we could trust Michael. Very happy with our experience
