Awarded Best of Zola
My now husband and have been joking that 'next time' we get married, we'll be sure to bring Haley (and eachother!) back for that wedding too. We loved having her as a part of day; she was present but not overbearing and only interrupted the flow of the day if absolutely necessary to get a shot that we had requested. She was pleasant, great with the flower girls and ring bearer to get them to walk slow and smile, and was full of joy for us as we celebrated. Our photos were perfect, and she even got some nice ones of my dad who hates pictures. She also worked with us to make sure that we had time for wedding portraits and to actually attend about half of our cocktail hour. Overall is was fantastic and reasonably priced for the area too.

My daughter’s wedding was one of the happiest days of my life, and these photos bring that joy right back every time I look at them. I can’t believe how beautiful and detailed they turned out. The photographers were so respectful, kind, and incredibly professional. They captured moments I didn’t even know happened! When my daughter showed me the final album, I cried. The pictures radiate happiness, and I’ll be cherishing them for years to come. I’m so grateful we chose them.

Love Knot Photography

  • Editorial style

  • Serves Sumiton, 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
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.

We are so grateful that we got to work with Anderson for our big day in May! He was so lovely to work with, and he took the time to get to know more about us as a couple before we met up for our civil ceremony. He was very communicative, and he sent us our photos well before the deadline in our contract. I would say that my husband and I are not naturals in front of a camera, and Anderson was patient and guided us so professionally throughout our wedding. We felt comfortable and trusted his vision, and it really paid off! Our photos are timeless and truly capture the emotion of that day. We will cherish them forever! We would highly recommend reaching out to Anderson if you are looking for a classic, timeless wedding portfolio. In fact, we are going to be working with him again in August when we have our reception!

Hey there! We are Hellen + Rafael and we are the photographer and videographer behind the lens! We have been married for 5 years and we love doing life together! That is why we joined our forces 5 years ago to create Hellen Oliveira Photography. We have a passion for capturing your special moments and making them last a lifetime! We are in Atlanta, GA - but we love to travel and will go anywhere to tell a good love story! Get to know us better and say hi!

Hellen and Rafael beautifully captured every moment of our journey, including our engagement photos, private wedding ceremony, and finally our traditional wedding celebration. Our private ceremony, set in the North Georgia mountains, turned into an impromptu adventure when a surprise winter storm completely changed our plans. Despite the snowy and challenging conditions, Hellen and Rafael didn’t hesitate to make the trip. They arrived with such professionalism and calm, capturing the day flawlessly as if nothing had changed. With our timeline completely thrown off and the original plan to travel to a church in town no longer possible, our intimate gathering turned into a DIY celebration. Immediate family members became the kitchen crew, bartenders, and even the officiant! Through all of this, Hellen and Rafael embraced the chaos, adapted seamlessly, and documented the day in the most beautiful and meaningful way. The video they curated from that snowy day is something we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We were equally grateful to have them return in May to capture our wedding celebration with all of our friends and extended family. Once again, their talent, professionalism, and dedication shined through. We are so thankful we chose Hellen and Rafael to document our most cherished moments. Their commitment to their clients, clear communication, and ability to adapt to the unexpected make them truly exceptional. We can't wait to work with them again for future family milestones. We highly recommend this team to anyone looking to preserve their most meaningful moments with creativity, care, and heart.

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.

Hi friends! As a kiddo, I was obsessed with 2000s rom-coms and the “perfect wedding.” After falling in love with photography and working with couples over the years, I’ve loved serving people in every stage of life: graduations, couples, families, the whole shebang. But weddings? My absolute favorite. I offer digital as my default, but specialize in 35mm film and Polaroids, included in packages or as an add-on. I love to travel anywhere to capture your day... let’s make it happen!

Nell Studio was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding photography. From the very start, their communication style was incredibly easy-going and proactive - they were always available to answer our questions and provide guidance throughout the planning process. On the day of our wedding, which took place shortly after a health issue, Nell Studio was incredibly understanding of our preferences for an intimate and socially distanced wedding. She blended seamlessly into our ceremony, capturing all the special moments without ever making us feel like we were neglecting our guests. When she delivered our gallery, she also gifted us a beautiful handmade scrapbook, knowing how much it would mean to us. We had specifically requested that our photos not be posted on social media for privacy reasons, and Nell Studio respected that request without any issues. Her work was truly amazing - the composition and quality of the photos were worth every penny. We are so grateful to Nell Studio for helping to make our wedding day so special and memorable.

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!

Hi, I’m Shelby, a wedding & elopement photographer with a love for travel and a sparkly, lively personality. I’ve had the privilege of working with couples across various destinations, bringing my energy and passion to every celebration. Raised in New Orleans, and now based out of Alabama & Michigan, servicing multiple regions. I believe in creating a genuine connection with my couples, making them feel relaxed, heard, and truly seen on their big day. Weddings & Elopements can be chaotic, but I’m here to guide you through every moment—from the first look to the final dance—capturing all the love, joy, and raw emotion in between.

***LONG REVIEW! Not Sorry! The photos I have of our day are far better than I could have imagined and Shelby was the best to work with. It is not just the amount or the quality of the photos you get with Shelby, but her customer service is above and beyond. She met with me in person 3 times to help settle my nerves and I couldn't have been more grateful. Shelby was so understanding and no vision I had was too outlandish or too much trouble. She communicated in a transparent, deliberate way, but was never pushy or disrespectful. I interviewed multiple photographers and truly, we just meshed well together. Shelby is unique and her sparkle really shines during the chaos, handling it like a BOSS! We had a military wedding and let me tell you, she handled it. I learned that she also only takes 3-4 weddings a month to really prioritize her clients and let me tell you, it shows so much! She got us sneak peaks within a week and the full gallery was delivered in 4 weeks. Look, I could have easily been classified as an "intense" bride and Shelby reassured me all day and reminded me that I was allowed to enjoy my day. Truly, I didn't just hire a photographer that day, I hired a trusted friend and we have already planned our 5 year anniversary photos in Italy with her. I know this review is a lot, but if you are looking for a photographer (that essentially has the 2nd MOST IMPORTANT role on your wedding day), that will give you more than a camera click and congratulations email, then SHELBY IS YOUR GIRL!!! Just talk to her! She shoots you straight and can help so much! Also, last thing, she respected our privacy. Our gallery was delivered via USB because we can't have personal photos of my husband on the internet. You will also not see them anywhere on her socials or website and they were not shared with other vendors, per our request. Yes, military family here. We trust her and you can too.

Because of our lifestyle I am strongly connected to photographs and the memories they hold. I love knowing every image I take holds lasting memories. ​ I combine my love of candid photography with a romantic, elegant, and timeless edit. I can't wait to learn more about your love story and get to know you! xo Caitlin Elizabeth

Caitlin was INCREDIBLE throughout the entire wedding process! From booking to planning to engagement shoots to the big day she was the best! She plans everything down to the minute on the wedding day - which is exactly what we needed! She took the time to make sure we coordinated in what we special to my husband and I along with our family requests. Her pictures are out standing!! She truly captures the moments in a way that makes you feel like you’re reliving the day. Caitlin is amazing & you will not be sorry!!

Hi, I’m Brianna — the photographer behind Sacred Fire Photography. I believe your wedding photos should feel as real and timeless as the love you share. My goal is to capture every genuine moment — the laughter, the tears, and the quiet in-betweens — in a way that tells your story beautifully and authentically. Based in Alabama, I specialize in creating a relaxed, comfortable experience so you can truly be present on your wedding day while I preserve every memory for you to relive for years to come.

Brianna and the team at Sacred Fire Photography LLC were absolutely amazing to work with for our wedding day. Their communication was fast, reliable, and they were a true pleasure to have by our side. The quality of their work was simply the best - the photos are stunning and captured all the special moments of our day perfectly. Brianna made my day absolutely perfect and even let my 4-legged babies be a part of it as well! Honestly, I couldn't ask for someone better to be a part of our special day. Brianna has been my go-to for everything, and my whole family absolutely loves her. I would highly recommend Sacred Fire Photography to any couple looking for lovely, amazing wedding photography.
