San Francisco, CA
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,000

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.

Ron and Trinity was incredibly friendly and genuine. They listened to our ideas which helped us feel comfortable during our engagement shoot and on our wedding day. They were able to capture our personalities and the fun we were having together. Their creative inputs resulted in stunning pictures. Our engagement and wedding photos are perfect! They were able to show their passion and expertise in their craft. They captured every emotion and every detail -- everytime we looked at our photos it feels like we're living in the moment all over again. You'd think that the video presentation took months to produce, when it was actually edited on the exact same day. We absolutely loved it, and even our guests felt very emotional watching it. Thank you, Ron and Trinity, for helping us preserve our most favourite moments as we shared with our loved ones. We're looking forward to being given the chance to work with you again.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Vivi's photography team for my wedding at San Francisco City Hall, and I can't express enough how incredible the experience was. From our initial conversation, I was impressed by their professionalism and attention to detail. On the big day, I was extremely nervous, especially after a mix-up led us to the wrong floor just 30 minutes before the ceremony. But Vivi stepped in and took charge, managing everything flawlessly. She made sure every detail was perfect, from organizing the procession to adjusting my dress and setting up the perfect shots. The photos turned out to be beyond anything I could have imagined. Vivi captured all the moments I hoped for, with every shot full of life and emotion. Even my friends were amazed by the quality of the photos. If you're planning a wedding at City Hall or anywhere else, I wholeheartedly recommend Vivi and her team. They made my wedding day truly unforgettable!

Cassie Valente Photography 

5.0

San Francisco, CA
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $9,750

My name is Cassie and I am a hybrid film + digital photographer, completely fascinated by the human story and the parts of it that we all share. My aim is to tell the story of your love and laughter through images that are timeless and intentional. I believe in storytelling through details, emotional portraits, and finding those quiet moments in the midst of celebration. I love capturing real moments that help my couples remember how they felt on their wedding day, through the lens of my own airy and dreamy style.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we started working with Cassie, it felt like we were reconnecting with an old friend. Cassie is so thoughtful, patient, and funny- and we got to experience that multiple times when we connected with her for our photography. We truly believe that her vision and personality is what makes her photos feel so authentic and filled with light love. As awkward people anxious about taking photos, we were so relieved how Cassie made us feel comfortable from the beginning of our engagement session. She was able to somehow fade into the background, while also guiding us and capturing genuine moments. We loved that photo session so much that we ended up hiring her for our welcome dinner as well! Cassie was so easy to work with leading up to the wedding, making sure to get a list of our important shots ahead of the wedding while working closely with our planner to make sure there was a clear schedule. This meant that we could be as present as possible on our wedding day. On the big day, Cassie honestly felt more like a part of the wedding rather than simply a vendor. She knew how to make everyone comfortable, made sure the bridesmaids and groomsmen were having fun, and made the day feel natural for us. We got all of the wedding photos we wanted, and managed to even be AHEAD of schedule so we got to spend more time at our cocktail hour!!! Cassie’s photos capture the full range of emotions on the wedding day, because she’s able to connect deeply with her couples and understand what is important to them. Her style was something we gravitated to as we wanted a photographer who would not simply chronicle our event, but also capture the small details and genuine emotions that we might miss during the day. For both the engagement shoot and our wedding weekend, Cassie promptly delivered sneak peek highlights within a couple of days, and the full album within her initial estimate (8 weeks). She managed to capture the full essence of the day. Everytime we look at those photos, they bring us right back to those moments and feelings. We are so lucky and thankful to have had Cassie as our photographer. Hire her for your wedding! You will not regret it!!

Luxury wedding photography in California and worldwide... You want your photos to be as unique as you are. You want photos that capture the intimacy and emotion of your day. I have spent the past decade developing my approach to wedding photography, learning how to be unobtrusive, when to take the lead, and when to take step back and anticipate the moment. The resulting experience is one that allows you to be in the moment. The resulting images are authentic, beautiful and timeless.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I recently hired Roberta Nicole Photography for our wedding and she was nothing short of amazing. From the moment I first reached out to her she was quick to respond and very helpful in providing clear information about her services. She was beyond kind and flexible with us during the pandemic and was accommodating to all of the changes we had to make leading up to our wedding day. The day of our wedding was the first time meeting Roberta in person (due to us living in a different state) and she was great, so easy to work with and made us all feel so comfortable. The pictures we now have from our special day are truly magical. I feel she captured all of the best moment and was able to capture the greatest candid shots that allow us to look back and truly remember exactly what the day felt like. My husband and I are both so happy with the quality of our wedding photos and would highly recommend Roberta's photography services.

I can't recommend Shane O'Neill Wedding Photography enough! Had a fantastic experience with Shane and we love our photos. From our first interaction and throughout the process he was professional, prepared, enthusiastic, responsive, and open to our ideas and input. He checked in regularly with us and initiated phone calls to discuss our style preferences and plans for the day. He also took the lead on logistics for our post ceremony photo locations, all we had to do was tell him our dream photo ideas and he made it work within our time frame. He even helped us find the location of my parent's wedding photo to re-create the shot :) Throughout the day he kept things moving and super fun. We both felt comfortable in front of his camera and trusted him and his vision completely. He shared sneak peaks with us the next day and continued to send peaks until our final gallery was ready.

Jasmine Lee is a destination wedding and lifestyle photographer residing in San Francisco, California. She is devoted to discerning couples and individuals that value the quality of crafting artistic and timeless imagery they will cherish for a lifetime.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you’re looking for a photographer, stop your search right now — Jasmine is simply the best. She was referred to us by a close friend with impeccable taste, and wow… she exceeded every expectation. Our wedding came together in less than two months (which was chaos in itself) and on top of that, she had to deal with two stressed-out gays — but somehow, Jasmine made the entire process effortless. She is incredibly flexible, knowledgeable, and just brings this calm, confident energy that instantly puts you at ease. I was lucky enough to have her shoot our wedding ceremony and I still can’t get over how amazing the photos turned out. Every shot looks straight out of a movie — I honestly don’t know how she does it. She’s detail-oriented, organized, and has this eye for capturing the little moments that matter most. After seeing how beautiful our wedding photos were (which we’ll cherish forever), I asked her to photograph my post-bachelor party — and of course, she delivered again. Beyond her insane talent, Jasmine is just a joy to be around. So easy to work with, so responsive, and she makes everyone feel comfortable. Hiring her is not just hiring a photographer — it’s an investment in your memories. I’ll be recommending her to all my friends and family. She’s outstanding.

Awarded Best of Zola
Whether you decide to have a big or small wedding, finding the perfect photographer is an essential detail. We stumbled across Courtney’s portfolio and fell in love with her story telling, but soon discovered that we loved working with her even more! Our initial meeting felt so comfortable, and her energy makes you feel like you’ve known her forever. Not only did she ask what we envisioned for the day, but she helped us create a timeline, directed us on the city hall wedding process, and even compiled a whole email with other resources for hair/makeup and florists. My husband and I never take professional photos, so we don’t know how to pose elegantly, but Courtney’s direction, words, and vibe made the experience extremely fun and care-free. Our families loved her, and my relatives could not stop raving about her afterwards. I think one of the most important aspects of a photographer is to make their clients feel confident and comfortable, and to allow their emotions to organically shine - and Courtney does this perfectly. We can’t wait to work with her again in the future for our future milestones :)

I'm a Bay Area native with over 12 years in the commercial photography realm. I got my start on the beaches of Los Angeles back in 2012 shooting commercial swimwear campaigns for some of the best designers in swim and fashion. That opened the door to countless opportunities with modeling agencies, reality television, and fashion design. In 2018 I made the move back up north to San Francisco where I grew up. With a wide network of friends and family up here, I found myself catapulted into the Wedding and Elopement industry - and absolutely loved it! I'm honored when I get to be a part of one of the best days of a couple's life together.

I love this team so much already! They have been amazing to work with and have great communication skills from Rachel, Leza, Melika, Nora, and our officiant, Shawn. The whole process is so worth booking. As a busy couple, we needed an extra hand for our City Hall SF marriage. And they made our flowers just like we asked for! I am a social worker, and it is obvious that their team knows weddings and how to make sure the day flows smoothly. We had a snafu and the team helped us so much. I will post more of the review after my photos are sent as well. We had a fantastic day at City Hall on 10/31. Here is a cell phone photo I last min asked for :) Dog friendly is always a plus.

Vincent Po Photography 

5.0

San Francisco, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,100

Oklahoma raised, Princeton educated, and founder of Portrait of a Young Couple, documenting how couples of all backgrounds and identities across the world live and love. I'd love to be a part of helping to capture you and your partner's love.

We worked with Vincent for our wedding in February of 2021. We scheduled our wedding with him several months beforehand. Leading up to the day, he had checked in several times to see how our plans had been coming, evolving, and what our expectations were the day of. He is incredibly personable, professional, and talented. We didn't ask for a lot of specific shots and the few we did ask for came out way better than we could have possibly imagined. Vincent took beautiful photos of us, our family, and our friends. For our camera-shy friends, he kept laughing with us, creating an atmosphere of joy and stress-free photography! He was quick to ensure that all of us being photographed were comfortable. Since our wedding, we have recommended him to literally every person who lets us know that they're engaged. We really can't say enough about Vincent and his work! The best we can say is that we highly recommend working with him- he is a truly amazing human and photographer!

We had such a great experience working with Michael! His studio offers a variety of beautiful backgrounds and setups, making it easy to capture exactly the look we wanted. He’s also incredibly flexible and easy to work with during events — always professional, attentive, and ready to adapt to any situation. The photos came out stunning, and he truly captured all the important moments perfectly. Highly recommend!

5-Star Review for JJ Ignotz Photography I can’t recommend JJ Ignotz Photography highly enough. JJ has been a trusted collaborator of mine for nearly a decade, photographing high-end weddings and events throughout New York City. Most recently, she captured our own wedding, and I can confidently say—there’s no one else I would have wanted behind the lens on such an important day. JJ is the full package: reliable, incredibly talented, deeply knowledgeable, and an absolute joy to work with. She brings a calm, professional presence to every shoot and has an uncanny ability to catch the real, unscripted moments that make events truly unforgettable. Her eye for detail, composition, and lighting is second to none, and she consistently delivers images that feel both timeless and alive. Whether you’re planning a luxury wedding, a corporate event, or an intimate celebration, JJ brings the same level of care, artistry, and enthusiasm. I’m grateful not only for the beautiful images she’s created over the years, but for the trust and partnership she brings to every project. Five stars, every time.
