“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.

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.

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.”

“Tawny was wonderful to work with! From the start, she took the time to really understand what we wanted and helped us build a timeline that made sense for photos and for the flow of the day. We also did our engagement shoot with her, which was a great chance to get to know her a little before the day of, since you spend so much of your time with your photographer on your wedding day.

“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!”

Relaxed, Easy going with a Refined, editorial wedding photography rooted in connection, emotional storytelling. 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. Your story unfolds naturally.

“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”

Bright colors, the lamest jokes, floral everything, weird history, and awesome ghost stories. I'm a total mother hen / perpetual big sister and I'm mom to Max, Henry, and Penelope. I love creating. I garden. I sew. I crochet. I design ridiculously cute tee shirts. But most of all? I freaking love creating photographs. A professional photographer since 2011 (eek!), my photographs are bright, happy, and totally meant to hit you in the feels. But most of all? They're a total party!

“It was such a pleasure having Lissa as the photographer for our wedding. She has taken several photos for me and my family throughout the years, and each time the photos have always been exactly what we wanted. Her photos are vibrant, full of color, and full of feeling. Lissa was sure to respond quickly to contracts, questions, and provided information in a timely manner. She listened to our desires and concerns, and when needed she provided feedback that helped us feel more comfortable and excited to work with her. She is incredibly easy to work with her. She was flexible with any photo requests that came up in the moment, and she guided and directed us for other shots she felt would turn out well when we weren't sure what to do next. She was professional and courteous to all of our wedding guests and yet always made sure to prioritize our (the bride and groom) desires and time as opposed to the rest of our wedding party. She had a happy, yet focused disposition while working with us. That focus was evident in the BEAUTIFUL pictures she took. She perfectly captured our joy that day. Turnaround time was better than expected, and we couldn't be happier with the results. We have no regrets with our choice of wedding photographer. She's amazing!”

A queer, Army-veteran photographer with wild red hair drawn to light, laughter, and the beauty of now —sunlight slipping across the train of a wedding dress, the tears being wiped away during your ceremony, and the quiet moments of in-between. My camera has become my solace and an extension of who I am. I love using natural light to capture those "blink-and-you'll-miss-it-moments" - the giggles, wild hair, the m&ms on your child's face. You know, the real stuff. I believe the best photos come from the moments you don't plan; the moments that showcase real life.

“Morgan was an absolute dream to work with. I messaged her, explaining that my fiancé (now husband) and I were extremely camera shy. Like, drop to the ground when a camera turns toward us, shy. She was up for the challenge. She was prompt with communication, explained everything extremely well and was an overall blast to work with. Our photos came out amazing! Even with rain, she was able to capture great shots. We took a walk in the downtown area of my city, and Morgan was able to adapt and come up with great ideas. We even went into a book store (unplanned) and she came up with great ideas! We are so happy that we chose Morgan as our photographer!”

Love is not about how many days, months, or years you’ve been together. It’s about how much you love one another every single day. It’s in the small moments, the laughter shared over nothing, the quiet comfort of holding hands, the way two souls learn to move as one. Love is both gentle and strong, a promise whispered and a bond unbreakable. It grows deeper with time, teaching us patience, forgiveness, and the beauty of choosing each other, again and again.

“From our first conversation with VJ Weddings, we felt at ease knowing we were in capable hands. The team was relaxed and genuinely interested in understanding our vision, offering thoughtful ideas that made our engagement photoshoot and wedding day feel more personal. Their professionalism shined through in every interaction—they were responsive, organized, and easy to work with leading up to the big day. On our wedding, they moved through the moments with such ease that we almost forgot they were there capturing everything. The final photos are stunning and truly showcase the quality and artistry they bring to their work.
