Love Knot Photography

It was fun to watch them take photographs and to see the kinds of techniques they use to achieve really amazing results. We got married in August and it was a nice sunny day. Our ceremony and portraits had to be in the middle of the day and I was a bit concerned about the sun being harsh, but they had strategies to get great photos for us under the shade of a large beautiful oak tree. I'm really glad that I had such a talented team who could make the most of it. Isaac also asked us to go for sunset photos and these were super magical. We shot a lot of photos but the time went by really quickly because we were having so much fun. I'm so glad that we did because the sunset photos are some of my favorites from the whole day. After the wedding, we got some previews really fast. Thanks LKP! We really enjoy all of the retouched photos and are looking forward to making an album with you soon. I recommend LKP to anyone who wants great photography. Isaac and his team are all around amazing.

to use for our save the dates and wedding website. We found Love Knot Photography after talking to a few of our friends and getting a really good recommendation. They did not disappoint. Really amazing talent, value and options. Our photographer Isaac was totally awesome. I feel that he was made to be a great photographer, the effort he puts in and his ability to work quickly to get great shots. He is really tall so he can get great angles from up there. And he got down on the ground to get reflection shots in the water. The whole shoot was a lot of fun. And... its an understatement to say we love our photos. They are really perfect for what we were after.

essionals, they arrived on time, had smiles on their faces all day, were team players, worked very hard and seemed to always know where to be. It was really fun to watch them go. And of course the photographs we have seen speak for themselves. Gorgeous! The ideas they had for bride and groom shots turned out really well. They are very natural and beautiful. We will be calling them again for our youngest daughter's wedding next spring. Highly recommend!

so artistic and authentic, we were excited that they were available for our wedding day. And they delivered in a huge way. We met up with them for coffee to discuss our wedding day and we were immediately impressed by the sample albums. I could tell we would be in great hands as they have tons of experience and incredible taste. The price is very fair, especially after hearing about the care they put into planning to work with us, and seeing the work they did on the wedding day. They gave us ideas for where to do our engagement session. And they provided some sample outfit suggestions which were a big help. They also helped us to plan our wedding day schedule and to make sure we had thought of lots of little details that would help our photography turn out best, and to help our day run smoothly. I'm not sure if all photographers do this but it really impressed me that they cared so much to help us get amazing photographs. We opted for a very nice album with acrylic cover, but never felt any pressure to do so. We really appreciated the help we received in understanding what our options were without ever getting a hard sell. I feel that they are truly artists.... and now, new friends with cameras. Before the big day, we spoke on the phone to go through the wedding schedule and finalize our plans. It was nice to know the photography was being well planned for and would be taken care of with such attention to detail. On our wedding day, they were self starters all throughout, getting photographs taken of all the fun we were having, the ceremony, reception, family photos and everything in between. They got group portraits for our family and wedding party and everyone that we had asked for. I really appreciate this as we don't get professional portraits taken often. And these look phenomenal. Our wedding day was one of the best days of my life and I'm really glad that Love Knot Photography was there with us. The photos are super amazing, and there are so many amazing moments caught on camera that I'm glad to have. I'm really in awe of their talent and ability to get these beautiful moments captured in this many pictures. I struggle with taking photos or not liking myself in photos and there are so many flattering photos from my wedding day. I can't thank Love Knot enough for this! They have tremendous skill in finding ways to make a beautiful photograph! Working with Love Knot Photography was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

phers.

have ever hoped for! My husband and I will be recommending them to all our family and friends for any photography needs.

how he found the artful balance between authentic and natural photography which is true to us and our families, while also giving images a thoughtful and refined sensibility. Logistically, working with Love Knot Photography was a breeze. Isaac and Dan showed up on time and worked tirelessly all day. They stayed well into the reception and I was really impressed with how they covered our event. My bride’s bouquet was coming loose at the stem and Isaac was able to help tighten it up. More importantly he helped to keep everything in perspective and it was a calming factor to know that he has seen so much and can respond to random things that will happen on a wedding day. My mother was also very pleased with the family portraits. She had several sisters in town which she does not get to see very often so she holds these photos very dear to her heart. Thank you, thank you!

many moments, great memories for us and our family to have forever. Thank you Isaac and team for working so hard, your skill and talent is very much appreciated from us. Best success in the future!

ring some feelings of the day, the scenery, the magical moments, the love and beauty of our special day. If you want to have photographs which represent your day in the best way, Love Knot Photography is the choice for you. Simply stunning.

after. They are true professionals, kind, fun and extremely talented! Definitely glad that we found them!

was meant to be. He was very thorough with his communication and answered all my questions quickly. On the day of, he showed up early and even stayed a bit later than expected to make sure we had all the shots we wanted. He gave great direction, did a wonderful job positioning us and made expert use of the sunlight at the venue. I have only seen a few of the shots from our wedding, but the photos I have seen blew me away! They were EXACTLY what I wanted. You captured the lighting and scenery that I was hoping for. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Isaac. You were amazing and we are so grateful to have had your expert eye on our special day!!!

edding there are only a few changes I would make, but no changes with photo. This group was amazing and we are very thankful that we had them.

ity photos . They kept the mood light, took time to get to know us as people and really captured what we were looking for. I would highly recommend using them!

wedding day and the team was wonderful. Very responsive to requests from our guests! My mother used to photograph weddings so she had some ideas for the team and they were very receptive to those notes as well. The images Isaac delivered made me gasp audibly, they are just so beautiful. I'm so so happy with the photographs. Thank you my new photography friends!

really important to me. I’m a very visual person and when looking at photography websites realized quickly that many photographers would not fit the style I was after. Luckily, I found love knot and fell in love with their images. The portraits and candids they produce have a soft, beautiful and timeless quality that is hard to explain. I was worried about so many things on my wedding day, I am glad to say that photography was not one of them. Love knot really did an amazing job. The photographs of our flowers, my dress, our invitations and other details all look incredible. The photos I love most are the shots of my family, the wedding party and us (bride and groom). I will be recommending love knot to all my friends when they get married.

le in the weeks leading up to the wedding, on the wedding day, and afterwards in putting together a beautiful album for us. Thank you Love Knot Photography! We are so excited about the beautiful photographs we have to remember our most special day!

pturing the spirit and joy of our wedding day. Our family and friends are in many special photographs. The details and different parts of the day is all captured with beauty and truth. The collection is a lovely work of art.

o have them as our photographers. The wedding day, they surpassed our hopes and expectations, working well under pressure, getting along great with our family and guests. We are very glad to have went with Love Knot. We made a beautiful album with the photographs from the day and they bring back so many memories every time we sit down with it.

e responds very quickly by email and phone. He also listens to what kind of photos we are looking for and provides helpful suggestions. We also appreciate how he provides pricing on his website. The engagement shots gave us more casual pictures and prepared us for the wedding pictures. We loved the shots he took at Legion of Honor, Sutro Baths, and Golden Gate Park. During the wedding, I appreciate how I sometimes didn't even notice Isaac was there. We had so many wonderful candid pictures that we didn't even notice were being taken. His turnaround time with unedited and edited photos was also extremely fast! Overall, Isaac was a joy to work with. He is punctual, calming, and friendly. We love how natural and beautiful the photos look. We highly recommend Love Knot Photography!

from ur wedding and then he surprised us with more edited photos that were absolutely breathtaking. Thank you Isaac and the Love Knot team!

And you did some really pretty shots of the two of us (in the olive grove), thank you for taking extra time to walk down to the creek to see if we should follow. Wedding party portraits were fun and we feel it was a perfect balance of planned and candid frames. The family photo portraits look great and we also love the candids that were taken during the reception. Our first dance near sunset outdoors, the natural lighting mixed with patio/cafe lights (an idea we got from Love Knot) comes together to create a surreal scene. Pure magic! Thank you so much for doing incredible work for our wedding!

concept, plan the shoot and execute a great session to get all the video footage. Their editing was really out of control good. We got the whole project finished a couple of weeks before the tentative deadline we had given ourselves to get save the dates out. Much thanks to Love Knot!

oading boxes for the bar, that was totally above and beyond! You’re the best, I’ll definitely be telling all my friends to hire you guys when they get married.

onstrate his eye for nature and light. I'd recommend Love Knot photography to my family and friends!!

ht. Thank you kindly!!

ng with them leading up to the wedding was enjoyable and easy, they were professional and fun on the wedding day and connected with our family and wedding party right away. The photos turned out beautifully and we are so happy with the whole thing. We very much recommend Love Knot Photography!

in Oakland. Thank you for fitting in with the event, blending enough into the background to not confuse the busy schedule and making enough of a connection with people so they were comfortable with your presence. Seeing your smiling faces it was obvious that you love your job, and it shows up in the photos.

rk with. Thank you thank you thank you to the team!!!

he made it so comfortable. It didn't even feel like he was there throughout the reception, which we didn't even realize was something that we wanted. We got our pictures right away and were blown away at the shots he got. He has a phenomenal skill at capturing beautiful moments. We are forever thankful!

person who loves to get her photo taken, but he made me and my husband feel relaxed and very comfortable. Isaac even sent over a preview of some retouched photos within a day or so of the wedding, which was great! We absolutely love all of the shots he took from our wedding, and would recommend Love Knot with zero hesitation.

hose beautiful photos come out from his camera, you know everything is so worthy! Thank you Issac, for this pleasant photo shooting experience! My finance Jimmy and I are very satisfied with the result! Can't wait for you to take more amazing ones on our wedding day! :)) By Vanessa L.

hing all day. The groomsmen really loved all of his ideas. He also made me look me look sleek and glowing :) Isaac and his assistant got amazing shots of everything-from me and my bridesmaids getting ready to our gorgeous venue and my 81 year old gran!

put our minds at ease, they were very positive and fun, and they helped us take great pictures. My wedding day was the happiest most amazing day and now I'm so happy to have these photos to look back at it.

re extremely patient among all the chaos. He got beautiful shots of our day and made us feel relaxed and comfortable in front of his lens. He made me and my bridesmaids look beautiful, i.e skinny. I recommend him to all my friends who are getting married!

you as much or as little feedback and ideas on pictures, poses, and locations. The photos are stunning and the team is a delight to work with - everything I'd want in a wedding photographer.

all our questions answered and saw a few of his albums. After meeting we booked the Artisan package and the coverage and quality we got especially for the price was amazing. Isaac was very prompt with all his responses both before and after our wedding. Isaac covers 1 wedding a day so there was no pressure to decide how many hours we would need, we just booked him for our wedding date and he covered the wedding based on our timeline. We spoke on the phone the week before our wedding about certain "must have photos" and Isaac captured all of them plus many more. On our wedding day, Isaac arrived on time, was a calm and pleasant person to spend a good chunk of our day with , and took great photos even though it was his first time shooting at our venue and shooting us (we did not have an engagement session). We got all our raw photos back right away (which is the best right after your wedding!) and are now having fun going through them to pick which photos Isaac will re touch -- and we are so impressed because the raw files look great even without any retouching! We highly recommend!

where the photos take place, the pictures will come out fantastic. For our wedding, the photographer was super easy to work with. He came early to scope out the wedding venue and to plan what key shots he would get and where they would take place. For the family portraits, he had a couple places in mind and let us choose where to do them. During parts of the reception, he walked around capturing candid emotions that really captured the joy of the day. We now have thousands of print-ready photos from our wedding.

im. On the day of our wedding Isaac and his assistant (sorry I don't remember his name, but he was also great and very professional) came to our hotel room and took pictures of EVERYTHING!!! Dress, bouquets, shoes, rings and of course of us getting ready. Issac paid attention to every detail and didn't leave my side the whole day. I had done a lot of research on other photographers, and none of them offered as much as Love Knot photography did. Most photographers will only retouch 60-70 pictures and that's it. And they usually only shoot your wedding for 4 to 5 hours. With Love Knot, they will retouch those 60 pictures and also give you all of the raw pictures that they shot the whole day. And Isaac met me at our hotel room around Noon and left our reception around 11:30 PM... That's almost 12 hours. I highly recommend The Love Knot Photography!!! I'm so happy and relieved I found them for our wedding!

f our lives. I can very much recommend him!

ble, but fun and organic. It rained the day of our wedding and Isaac--after having found an alternative indoor photo shoot that day--was still game to take pictures of us out in the rain. Somehow he held an umbrella and two cameras and got plenty of excellent and creative shots of us! The artisan package is a great value and worked just perfect for people like us who shy away from being the center of attention: Isaac captured all the key moments and more, and we hardly even noticed he was buzzing around taking photos!

. The photo quality is really impressive, great artistic eye and style. Having two photographers (the timeless package) worked out perfect. Thank you so much! We will be recommending you to family and friends!

t belly started showing. We chose to take our maternity photos at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk where there were some hecklers and obstacles but Isaac handled them like a pro. Our photos are once in a lifetime good. He captured the moments better than I could have even imagined. He touched up some photos seamlessly and the photos came out better than real life (who knew pregnancy acne was a thing?). His perspective and creative eye produced stunning photos I will treasure forever.

e us laugh, and captured moments when we weren't looking at the camera. Then came the edits. We were blown away. Pretty mundane scenes in my eyes turned out to be so beautiful in those photos. The person in the photos looked very relaxed, happy and natural. We got so many compliments on those photos!

at ease taking portraits, and gave us stunning photos that I know we'll cherish for years to come. Thank you Love Knot!

y to work with, and open to any questions or suggestions. I think his work speaks for itself. His style is soft and airy – perfect for a wedding!! Thank you Isaac, we are excited to see the rest of the photos!!

y appreciated the photos of the flowers, decorations, and scenery. I found that in the midst of the wedding I didn't really get to stop and fully take in all those things. So to have them captured for us was special. The biggest point I'd like to stress about Love Knot is how comfortable they made me feel. They were 100% respectful, and calming. So easy to be around. I was nervous at first, but their energy made it all feel natural and comfortable. Our wedding was a bit different then most, since we also were expecting our first baby! We chose to do a gender reveal with our wedding cake, and boy did they capture that moment! I still tear up looking at the amazing photos of the very second we cut the cake and saw pink frosting.

o what the bride and groom wanted, took the initiative to scope out and suggest ideal locations for back drops, and captured gorgeous photos. The combination of posed and candid photos are perfect and capture the essence of the bride, groom, wedding party, and guests' personalities. Plus, Isaac is fun to work with and cares deeply about capturing such important events. I highly recommend Love Knot Photography!

fun person! We feel truly fortunate to have had him as our wedding photographer.

shoot. We love the way how Isaac’s photos are so natural and he can always catch us in the right moment. He’s also very good at using natural light at different times of the day. Thank you Isaac for the amazing photos!

photography is his artistry and use of light, natural photos that capture the mood of a moment, playfulness, and attention to detail. We are so happy to have memories from our big day captured by Love Knot. Working with Isaac was easy as he was super responsive, professional, flexible, and worked with our vision and added insight and ideas to build on the type of documentation and photography we envisioned. I have nothing but gratitude and appreciation for Isaac, his amazing team, and impeccable work.

t amazing and Isaac was so easy to work with. He totally understood our weirdness :) Wedding Day - The photos are AMAZING! We got married at Roaring Camp in Santa Cruz and he was able to capture the entire "feel" of the day. I loved how imaginative he and his assistant are with the various posed and non-posed shots. He was able to turn around a handful of touched-up photos within a week of the wedding which was a great surprise. Misc Good Stuff - Isaac took a few pictures of flowers/leaves/nature during our engagement shoot which I'll be printing and using to decorate around the house. It was a wonderful, unexpected plus. I would DEFINITELY recommend Love Knot Photography for any Bride/Groom :)

t and spent an extra day with us because of the weather. And the pics turned out amazing! We hired him immediately for our wedding. His team did such a phenomenal job! He was with us from 7am till 1am on our wedding day! And, not only that, we had several events leading up to our wedding day and Isaac did a phenomenal job in capturing our wedding week. Every picture is so amazing. They also did cinematography and the wedding video is beyond awesome! He was one vendor that was always very professional and very easy to get a hold of. Wedding pictures and cinematography can truly make or break your day. Rest assured, if you decide to go with love knot, you will not regret your decision. Several of our family and friends inquired about him after our wedding and in fact many have already signed him up for their big day! I recommend love knot for your special day without any hesitation!! Shilpa

to take some sunset photos and have fun with it because he seems to capture very beautiful moments that way. He really blended in with my wedding as well, and it was almost like he was just part of the festivities. Getting back some photos I realized he kind of was everywhere all at once. It was just great working with him and I'm not someone who is comfortable in front of a camera - but his mellow personality, great attitude and kindness really sets you at ease.

up with him two times before the wedding and both times communication was smooth and my wife and I left the meetings very confident he had completely understood our desires and had the situation under control. Second, he is very artistic and creative. On the day of the wedding, before and after the ceremony (while we were taking pictures of the first look and pictures with the family), Isaac gave us a multitude of ideas to work with for picture poses. In addition, my wife had sent him a pinterest board of wedding photos she liked a few days prior to the wedding, and it was clear that he had gone through them and was incorporating them in some of his shots too. There was never a moment when we didn't know where to go or where to pose because Isaac was able to bounce ideas back and forth with us. Third, during critical events, like the ceremony and the reception, Isaac and his team were able to take phenomenal shots without getting in the way. When we saw the pictures later, we were like "how was that possible? We didn't even notice him there." We're pretty sure they're all ninjas. Fourth, the quality of his photos is amazing. We were blown away at the range of shots, from macro shots of the rings on a rose, to wide-range family photos, all the way to action shots of us jumping in the air and being silly. All of the photos were of extremely high quality. On a similar note, the photo's he touched up were absolutely incredible too, and were of high quality and extremely classy taste. Fifth and finally, he is an absolute pleasure to be around. We had such a good time having him as a photographer, laughing often times at the same things and just being able to vibe with him made the experience that much better. All of the wedding party loved him as well which definitely played a part in how much fun we all had. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer during our wedding. Thanks Isaac!

tures and Isaac went above and beyond to get the pictures we wanted. He read my pinterest board and utilized the suggestions in our photos. He is also very good at improvising and making creative shots. He is full of ideas, very talented, and professional. Isaac is also very kind, easy to work with and made everyone feel comfortable. On top of that he is super funny - we had a great time with him and feel like we were laughing the whole time. We're so thankful for his dedication and all the amazing shots from our wedding. We would definitely recommend Love Knot Photography to anyone!

hs without being too invasive or pushy. The photos we received were beautiful and they really highlighted the natural light and setting of our venue. All in all I would recommend Love Knot Photography to any bride and could not be happier with our experience, service, and wedding photography.

prior to the event. My husband and I were thrilled with the photos from the Engagement photos and Wedding and have received compliments on our Save the Date postcard, wedding invitations, and wedding photos. Great value for what you pay with such a great artistic eye.

the bay area in numerous places such as baker beach, battery spencer and the legion of honor and all the shots came back amazing. He was really able to capture the moments and paint a story. We got many compliments and he made us look great! I would definitely recommend Love Knot Photography.

aac's, was his dedication to the day. He was willing to do all of the favors we asked, he worked all day, and he was constantly sprinting around, jumping over plants and kneeling in weeds. He was everywhere. At the end of the night I was sad to see him leave! He was a great contribution to an amazing day, and left us with a ton of perfect unforgettable memories through our photos!!!!! Lauren

decided to contact him for more details. We like him very much after the first conversation, he explained everything patiently and respected our request and thoughts. On the wedding day, his team arrived at my hotel before 6:00am because wedding is in the morning in our culture. I felt sorry to them, but what they did made me more like a special bride. The whole service last for more than 12 hours, from hotel to restaurant to the beach. They climbed up to chair, laid on the floor, catch every important moment, and even didn't have that much time to eat... I wish I could treat them better. This team is very unique and creative on finding a view. We were surprised on the final work. You will never know a streetside view can be that beautiful. What's more, their understanding on different cultures is impressive! Some of my friends who are going to get married asked for information of my wedding photographer after they saw my pictures. I definitely recommend them!

through with absolutely wonderful photos and I can honestly say he is one of the best technical photographers I've met and has a great instinct for composition and light. He is also the nicest guy ever and super easy and comfortable for us to work with. It was so fun!

oint out the photos that we liked so that the style of our photos would be to our taste. The session was a lot of fun too. He encouraged us to just be ourselves and suggested different poses for great shots. The pictures turned out great and we're happy that Isaac captured great moments of us.

feel to them. Amazing! I give him my highest recommendation.

ded to go with Isaac because we just loved how natural all his pictures are. Also, no other photographers offered the same quality of photos for the price that Isaac offers. Isaac was professional from beginning to end, and he is very down to earth and easy to work with. Although we had to reschedule due to weather issues, he was very accommodating and patient with us, which we really appreciated. Since we never had a photoshoot before, we really didn't know what to do. But Isaac gave us great guidance and made the shoot very fun and natural. Isaac is extremely skilled and artistic with his photography, especially with the lighting aspect. He is able to use the natural lighting from the sun to make our pictures come to life. We also brought some props for the photoshoot, and he was able to skillfully use them in our pictures. For example, we used sparklers as one of our props. In order to get the shot that we wanted, he had to run back and forth for quite some time. We really appreciate the amount of work that he put in to get the perfect pictures. We are so glad that we found Isaac to be our photographer. My fiance and I absolutely love all the pictures that he took. It was more than what we ever expected. Thank you so much Isaac for everything!! -Anh & Mei

special day. Easy to say, Love Knot was the perfect choice. Isaac performed with great customer service. He kept in contact by answering every email and phone call. His quality of work is amazing. We did an engagement photo shoot and he was able to transform my vision perfectly. At the day of the wedding, Isaac and his team were very professional and guest friendly. He made the whole wedding party feel comfortable. Recently, he sent us our pictures and we were in awe. The beautiful art that he created makes it hard to pick out our favorites. Amazing, amazing, amazing ! Thank you Isaac! The Gaytan's

re pretty new to the Bay area. He will travel pretty much anywhere you like, at no extra charge or a very reasonable travel fee. He happily shared all of the raw frames with us, and we received over 2000 frames (amazing!) He is skilled in editing and our photos were breathtaking. He included 50+ edited frames (some of his favorites and some of ours). I've never liked many photos of myself, but Isaac was able to capture both my fiancé and I in our element, and made us look great. He has a great eye for photojournalism. We would happily book him for our wedding if it were local. He is willing to travel out of state or for destination weddings though. Our friends and relatives have given us many nice compliments on our engagement photos. I would recommend him to anyone looking for wedding photography. We hope to have a family shoot with him in the future. Lots of prints/products/editing all available too.

me activities we had planned with our wedding party ~ haircuts and a shave for the guys ~ beauty stuff for the girls. It was really nice that our photographers were there to capture this special part of the day. The rest of the day was great too, thank you for taking so many special shots of us and our guests. The large canvas we got looks beautiful! We will be sure to recommend you to any of our friends or family who may be in need of a photographer for the future. Get ready for family photos, we will be calling you soon!!! xoxo ~ Sara W.

be the perfect photographer for us. He is very easy going and professional. We ordered the Timeless package and him and his team were a pleasure to work with. Thank you so much for staying late into the night with us. You really went above and beyond! We are so impressed with the photos we got from the weekend, its really just too amazing!

his team!!! Mr. & Mrs. Flores

natural light and the journalistic photos really captured the most tender and exciting moments of the day. My family and I are so pleased with the photos we will be making multiple albums, brag books, and a few large prints for our home. Working with Love Knot Photography from start to finish was a breeze. The contract was straightforward, Isaac is very responsive and all deliverables were executed to a tee.
