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

  • Serves Clayton, NC

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 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.

Our experience with MSMP MEDIA LLC as our wedding photographers was absolutely fantastic. 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! Despite some communication issues due to a change in our wedding planner, the MSMP MEDIA team was incredibly flexible and adaptable. 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. Every couple has a unique story, and my goal is to help you relive yours for years to come through images that evoke the same emotions you felt on your wedding day. Being in Business for 6years with over 120 Wedding shot across the country.

KP was a fantastic choice for our wedding photographer. From the initial consultation through the big day, their communication was excellent - they were always responsive, friendly, and helpful in answering our questions. On the wedding day, the photographers were true professionals, blending into the background to capture all the special moments without being intrusive. The final photos were absolutely stunning and exceeded our expectations. We couldn't be happier with the value and quality of service provided by KP. Highly recommend them to any couple looking for a talented, personable photography team for their wedding.

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 is an insanely gifted photographer who brought our wedding day to life in a way I could’ve only dreamed of. She was such a kind and comforting presence throughout the entire process leading up to and during our wedding day. Her eye for things might be incredible, but so are her dance moves. She will capture YOU as a couple, as an individual, and will show what makes you special. I cannot recommend her enough!!

As a wife and recent Bride, I constantly look back at my wedding day gallery from my photographer. I would say at least once every couple of months! What I love about my wedding photos is that I can remember the day just by looking at those photos. I want that for YOU!

Awarded Best of Zola
Ashlyn & her team are absolute rockstars! They were a true highlight of my day and went above and beyond to help in any way possible and make everything stress-free and fun. We had an outdoor wedding and it was a very windy day and her and the team would help out in moments that weren’t even their responsibility. She had amazing communication leading up to the wedding, during the day, and afterwards. She delivered our photos quickly and posted the most amazing content leading up to the gallery delivery. She also made me feel comfortable in front of the camera and captured a lot of cute candids that are so special to see after the day is over. I cannot recommend Sea Shea enough. This is a vendor I truly could not have lived without! Not only are the photos 10/10 amazing but the experience of working with someone who really cares about your day and takes the time to get to know you makes all the difference. I felt a connection to her and the team and they saved my windy chaotic wedding day! You can tell they love what they do by how much fun they exude and the photos that they deliver.

Within such short notice, she coordinated meeting time, researched the area for photo ops, and was ready with so many poses for us. She even agreed to be a witness for our ceremony! Working with her during the shoot was a joy. She was very fun and upbeat, making it an even more enjoyable experience. And the pictures turned out AMAZING! So so thankful for Josie and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated photographer who will give you the most beautiful photos.

From the moment we reached out to her to getting our pictures, she has been incredibly communicative, easy to work with, and deeply kind.
