Knots in the Pines

Best Decision Ever!

Selecting Knots in the Pines as our photographer was hands down the BEST decision we made for our big day. I knew immediately meeting Victoria that she was the right match for us because she has such a genuine warmth and kindness about her that makes you feel seen and supported throughout the entire planning process and the day itself. She made sure she really understood who my husband and I are individually and as a couple so she and Joe could bring our vision to life. Having Victoria in our corner made me feel so much more confident planning a Hawaiian elopement from way out of state as someone with no exposure to Hawaii beforehand. She made sure my husband and I were informed on everything we needed to know to make sure the ceremony went off seamlessly and was our #1 supporter who thought of every last detail and helped guide us in the right direction! The process of taking photos with her was completely stress-free because she and Joe felt like old friends by the time of the ceremony. Joe officiated a very tasteful ceremony for us and sang and played music for our first dance. We appreciated the special touches involved in his style and were happy to have a ceremony that both had structure but felt intimate and relaxed. The photos themselves turned out STUNNING and far surpassed any expectations I had. We were overwhelmed by the number of fantastic, frame-worthy shots Victoria captured. To give you an idea, I created a “favorites” album and it literally included 400 photos, which is an insanely good value for their extremely reasonable prices. Our wedding included a variety of locations and Victoria nailed the photography and editing involved with each one. We are classic “awkward photo” people who have no idea how to pose, but with her guidance and vision, we kept hearing that our photos look like something straight out of a magazine and that AI couldn’t create a more beautiful image that Victoria did (in a natural setting with two normal people and a LOT of talent!) Our photos speak for themselves, but I can promise you that booking with them will be a decision you’ll be eternally grateful you made! *Note that some of these photos are screenshots because the resolution of the images was too high for Zola. They’re all crystal clear and high resolution.

Working with Victoria and Joe for our adventure elopement was the best decision we made for our wedding day. Throughout the whole process, Victoria and Joe made us feel like they were just as excited for our special day as we were. They helped us figure out all the activities we wanted to do on our wedding day, and they helped us find a team of the best vendors to work with. Everything they helped us put together ended up creating a day that felt like us and was filled with special moments that have turned into tender memories. We could not have imagined a more perfect wedding day for the two of us. Of course, their pictures speak for themselves, but they were able to capture every moment of our day along with all of the emotions. The colors in their photos reflect the raw beauty and colors of Hawai’i, which is of course what made us fall in love with Hawai’i to begin with. Despite our full day, Victoria and Joe encouraged us to pause and take in the beauty of our surroundings throughout the day, not only allowing us to really soak in each moment but also allowing us to appreciate the beauty surrounding us, which was the reason we wanted to get married in Hawai’i in the first place. My husband and I are both very awkward anytime a camera comes out, but Victoria and Joe knew just what to say to help us feel like we were just enjoying the day with each other, and it ended up creating the most lovely photos of us I’ve ever seen! On top of that, it was impossible to feel any awkwardness around Victoria and Joe as it felt like we were hanging out with long-time friends all day. I also have to mention that our day really was from sunrise to after sunset, which was a long day for everyone, but they never complained or made us feel like they were ready to go home, and they had the best, most welcoming energy throughout the entire day!Victoria and Joe are really an amazing team and amazing humans, and they are the perfect duo for wedding photography, videography, planning, officiating, and nature guiding! I highly recommend working with Knots in the Pines to make all of your wedding dreams come true, and to have an even better wedding day than you can imagine!

I seriously cannot say enough good things about our wedding photographers Victoria and Joe!! 😭🤍 Our wedding was in Washington State, and they captured the entire experience more perfectly than I ever could have imagined. We took photos at Ruby Beach, in the Hoh Rain Forest, at our cabin, and they even photographed our casual game night with our family. Every single part of our trip feels like it was captured exactly how it felt in the moment, and that means SO much to me. The pictures are absolutely TO DIE FOR. 😭 I have gone through our gallery so many times and still cannot believe some of these photos are actually us!! They made us feel so comfortable and natural the entire time, and you can genuinely see that in the pictures. Nothing felt awkward or overly posed, and they captured so many little moments and emotions that I didn’t even realize were happening at the time. This was my first time ever having professional photos done, and I genuinely don’t know how anyone will ever top this experience. They completely exceeded every expectation I had and gave us photos that we will get to look back on for the rest of our lives. I am beyond thankful that we chose them to capture such an important time for our family. If you are considering booking them, DO IT. You will not regret it. I would recommend them a million times over!! 🤍😭 They truly made our wedding memories even more special, and I will forever be grateful for them!

Victoria was amazing and I recommend 10/10! I was planning on proposing to my partner (now fiancée ) in June and worked with Victoria on my photoshoot plans since February. She was super helpful in recommending me location spots and coordinating. When the day came, she easily put us at ease and guided us through the beautiful scenery while taking phenomenal photos and describing the various plants/animals we encountered on the photoshoot. We love you so much and thank you again!!!

5 stars; 10 out of 10 experience. Victoria was amazing, incredibly friendly and made the experience everything we could have wanted. The pictures themselves turned out great and were provided in a really timely basis.
