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

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
Isaac’s 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.

I began this journey several years ago inspired by all the little moments going on around me. Photography has become one way I can express myself creatively while freezing a moment in time.

I really can’t say enough about how truly amazing Brandi is. She was with me from the start of my planning process to the end providing me with so much support and guidance. She was more than just a photographer. She is truly one of kind. From helping me coordinate a timeline, giving vendor suggestions, oh and not to mention helping me throw together a whole wedding in 72hours due to the Tennessee flooding. She is reliable and such a joy to work with. She made me feel so special. I just received our full album and let me tell you I am blown away. The quality of the photos are outstanding and I received so many!!! I am amazed at her attention to detail and ability to capture every special moment. I cannot recommend Brandi enough!

Wowwowow. We are such huge fans! We had Nathan and his team cover our wedding with both photo and film! We were so happy to have found Nathan for our destination wedding. Planning with him was an ease and as someone who usually is very awkward in front of the camera, he actually found a way to make me actually enjoy it! Both my partner and I commented afterwards how we had so much fun and we just knew the videos and photos would be amazing. And, of course, they were unreal! So much better than we ever could have imaged! So happy with our choice of videography and photography for our wedding! Excited to make some prints and hang them on our wall!

Our work involves a lot of interaction between you and your partner: the way you smile, hug, laugh and goof off together. We use natural light to create artistically genuine moments. Your images should reflect you and your day, and should vividly take you back to that exact moment in time. Our ultimate goal is to be a companion with you throughout your wedding planning process as a friend, not a vendor. We're not someone who simply ‘gets the job done’— We're with you every single step of the way, from the first time we talk until your images are delivered.

When my photographer bailed Alicia stepped in and saved the day. She was awesome to work with and the photos were great.

They provided light, romantic and artistic photography that captured all the special moments of our big day, and the turn around on images was also surprising!

They got creative with unique shots while also following our lead and going with the flow. Even without the typical shot list or knowledge of our wedding party (our fault entirely), they seamlessly pulled off the photography and didn't miss a beat.

My passion for wedding photography stems from my love of storytelling. Weddings are filled with moments of joy, laughter, and love, and I believe in honoring every genuine connection and fleeting glance that happens throughout the day.

Your wedding photography should feel as unforgettable as the day itself—filled with emotion, depth, and those blink-and-you-miss-it moments that make it yours. My approach blends editorial artistry with real, heartfelt storytelling—so you get the iconic, cinematic shots and the quiet, unscripted moments in between. With a mix of film and digital photography, I create images that feel nostalgic yet modern, timeless yet full of life. Whether you're celebrating in a historic estate, a backyard under the stars, or halfway across the world, I’m here to capture it with care, intention, and an eye for the details that matter most.

She captured every special moment and even had all of our photos returned back to us in a months time (& a very large quantity too)!! Our photos had us smiling and feeling like we relived the day all over again. Not only is she an amazing photographer but she has such a calming and peaceful personality to be around. She made the entire wedding day light and fun. Taking photos with her felt so natural and easy.

Josie is easy to communicate with and responds promptly to all questions which made the planning process smooth.

I’ve had the opportunity to photograph many commencement ceremonies, birthday parties, and church events as well as tons of portrait sessions. However, weddings always give me butterflies. The beautiful details, the people, and the music makes me fall in love each time. There’s something special about witnessing love as it’s most authentic moment. The day goes by so fast, and I am able to freeze every tear, every laugh, and every kiss with just one click. But it’s truly more than that, it’s about creating an experience that you and your loved ones will never forget.

I am a published photographer located in the beautiful state of Tennessee. I am a mama to two fascinating, wild little girls and I have a passion for running around, breathing in life. Photography has been a life long passion of mine; I can remember being a small child running around with disposable cameras trying to capture everything in site. Now, as an adult, photography is my way of making permanent what I, and others, hold close. I love tattoos, am romance book obsessed (honestly this career could not have been better picked) and hope to one day go sky diving! Now that you know a bit about me, I can't wait to learn about you!

From the moment we booked Beautiful Images by Toni, their communication was fast, helpful, and responsive. Toni's unique, creative, and fun style captured the excitement of our special day perfectly.

Andrea-Marie is a fine art documentary wedding photographer specializing in romantic, editorial-style imagery. Blending candid moments with timeless elegance, she crafts a visual story that captures the genuine emotions of your wedding day. With a thoughtful and refined approach, Andrea provides a seamless experience, offering personalized guidance throughout your wedding journey. Serving Asheville, North Carolina, and beyond, Andrea-Marie Photography creates heirloom-quality images that stand the test of time.

I have followed Andrea’s photography on social media for years because in my wildest dreams she is who I would have capture my fairytale moments. Well in 2024 I finally had the opportunity of a lifetime when she captured my elopement in Positano, Italy. She blew even my wildest dreams out of the water. If you want a photographer who is a quadruple threat Andrea is your person! She’s a visionary, wedding planner, confidante, and artist who compromises nothing to merge your vision with her talents in the most magical way. If you have ever wanted to plan your dream elopement, but don’t even know where to begin logistically Andrea is your person! Andrea is not only well versed in travel and local customs, but is also exceptional at doing her research to maximize the beauty of the destination in the most authentic way. Andrea was pivotal in navigating the language barrier while also finding the sweetest local team (hair and makeup artists, florists, driver, and boat captain, etc) to bring everything to life. From the perfect locations for photographs to curating the most Italy-inspired meals, snacks, and desserts Andrea found ways to compliment the sentiment of the day in every single way. If you want a photographer living out her calling, Andrea is your person! I truly believe her vocation is anointed, that she has been called to walk alongside couples to not only provide the most exceptional keepsake, but that she believes fully in the covenant of marriage and the full extent of celebration that it deserves. Her skill and competency with a camera is unmatched as is her ability to work with people. Andrea gave us the time of day to hear our thoughts and questions, provided organization, attention to detail, dynamic planning prior to and day of that made our wedding day feel at ease, yet purposeful. The amount of pride Andrea takes in her work and the way she cherishes her couples unfettered love stories is indisputable. As is the case with elopements we had to deal with different aspects of coastal weather and Andrea had contingency plans for all of it and probably other scenarios that we never considered because she took that on for our sake. I’ll say it again she accounts for it all so you can have the best day ever! I couldn’t have dreamed up a better day from start to finish or a more effective, powerful, and fierce photographer to help usher us into this next chapter. Andrea captured the essence of us so beautifully and she did so by providing affirmation, levity, poise, professionalism, energy, grace, and comfort throughout our day gallivanting around the Amalfi Coast. There is so much more I could say, but her heart and her work speak for themselves. From the bottom of our hearts we are profoundly grateful to have gotten to work with Andrea. Be prepared to want her to capture all of your moments or to just invite her over for coffee, she’s that incredible.

From my first call with Kamil, I knew he was the perfect fit for our wedding day. He was so kind, thorough, and made me feel like I was chatting with a friend. He took great care of us throughout the whole process and made everything so easy. On the wedding day, so many people mentioned how fantastic our photo team was. Kamil and his wife Anna were amazing—guiding us to get the shots we wanted while letting us truly enjoy our day. The photos are pure art, and I could rave about Glim Studio and their team forever. They’re simply the best!

Awarded Best of Zola
When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3
