Christina Jackson Photography 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Athens, TN

Hello all! I’m Christina the face behind the camera. I am Chattanooga based photographer, but I travel all over. I have been in the photography industry for well over a decade. Weddings can be expensive, but beautiful photos shouldn’t. I’ve always stood by that motto since beginning my photography business. I strive to provide my clients with high quality photos and albums within a reasonable price.

Awarded Best of Zola
Christina is SUCH an amazing photographer!! She made our engagement photos and the wedding look so magical. We are both awful at posing, but during the photoshoot, she guided us and made us look like professionals! She's so wonderful to work with, and was instantly able to make us feel comfortable (or about as comfortable as you can be with someone staring at you, telling you to kiss your fiancee, and then taking pictures of it lol!). She has excellent attention to detail, and we had very clear and concise communication during all stages leading up, and during, the wedding. We talked about some photos that I would be interested in getting, and she made sure to prepare for our special requests. Her work really speaks for itself, and her photos give off a very light and airy vibe. We were originally going to do with a short booking for our wedding, just 6 hours, but I'm really glad we ended up getting a longer session. Being able to look back on our wedding day and see these beautifully captured moments was worth every penny.

Kens Cotton Photography 

5.0

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $2,100
  • Serves Athens, TN

Since 2022, I’ve been telling love stories with an editorial eye and a documentarian’s heart. My work lives in that space where timeless elegance meets honest emotion—where the unposed and the beautifully composed exist side by side. Whether it’s an intimate elopement in a quiet corner of the world or a grand celebration surrounded by hundreds, my approach is grounded in trust, subtlety, and intention. I believe in honoring every story, every culture, every kind of connection, with care and with artistry.This isn’t just about beautiful photos. It’s about capturing what’s real and making it unforgettable.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kens was an exceptional choice for our wedding photography. From the very beginning, her communication style was attentive, thoughtful, and dedicated. She went above and beyond to ensure our special day was captured beautifully. Kens not only took stunning, high-quality photos, but she also helped with things that were not even part of her duties, like helping with decor, keeping everything on schedule since we didn’t have the Day of coordinator and helped with our dog that wouldn’t let us take any pictures without him lol. She was such a joy, all our guests loved her, she would try everything to get the best shots and angles, ensuring we have memories to cherish forever. The value she provided was truly exceptional, and we are so grateful for her caring, professional service.

Hey there, I'm Lili. I have been capturing love stories for the past 8 years. I started out taking friend's and family's senior and family pictures, and eventually that love for photographing turned into documenting wedding days. I'm all about you being yourself and capturing what makes you, you. The quirky, fun, teasing, and weird love that you have. I will be your professional hype woman, third-wheel, dress buttoner, pocket square folder, tear wiper, and everything in between.

I had the opportunity to meet Lili while she was shooting a wedding at our venue. I've worked with many different photographers and she absolutely stands above the rest. She's kind and light-hearted, had everything scheduled wonderfully, and her images were outstanding. I couldn't recommend her more!

I had such a lovely experience from the very beginning and truly appreciate the care and attention that was shown throughout the entire process. Everything felt organized, welcoming, and thoughtfully done. It’s rare to come across an experience that feels both professional and genuinely caring, but that’s exactly how this felt.

These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey.

Sean gave us an incredible experience with stunning results. He was punctual, professional, and gave very clear instructions for his shoots. He also was very excited to be a part of the process and involved in our special day. When it came time for the ceremony and reception, he was sure to stay out of the spotlight and took incredible pictures without us having to remember that he was there. 10/10 experience and 10/10 quality on the final photo results.

I honestly can’t say enough good things about this company. From the very beginning they were professional, patient, and genuinely cared about understanding our vision for the day. The photos came out breathtaking, every single detail from the flowers to the way my dress moved was captured so beautifully. The video made me cry happy tears because it truly felt like reliving the wedding all over again. They were discreet during the ceremony but still got the most emotional angles. What impressed me most was their ability to make me feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera, which is not easy for me. My husband and I kept saying how lucky we were to find them. I will be recommending them to every bride I know.

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.

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.
