We ended up cancelling with our previous photographer and going with DK because they offered a package that included photography and videography, along with engagement photos. After the engagement shoot, there were somethings I brought attention to that I wanted to be different at our wedding. Adam was extremely helpful and saw to that our media team the day of was informed of what we were looking for. They exceeded our expectations, communicated thoroughly throughout the entire wedding day and were incredibly sweet. We received our wedding media under 3 months and couldn't have been happier. I've looked through the pictures countless times, watched the 4 minute highlight reel multiple times as well.. plus we got the documentary film which was about an hour long. It was so much fun watching everything from someone else's point of view. Thank you to the DK team for making this such a wonderful experience!

As any bride planning a wedding knows, there are so many huge decisions that you have to make and…read moreso many different people that you have to put all of your trust into. For me personally, one of the most important decisions I needed to make was choosing a photographer and videographer as these are the only people who can truly help preserve every moment of our wedding day. I was an out of state bride (I live in Seattle but go married in Austin), and did SO much research into finding the right fit for us that was within a reasonable budget. After countless phone calls and emails with different photo/video teams, something just clicked when I found Double Knot. From beginning to end, they were just seamless. Most of our initial communication was via email and Adam was always extremely responsive and answered all of my crazy questions. My first major decision, and my best one, was hiring Double Knot for our February wedding at Log Country Cove (also a wonderful decision!). I flew to Austin a few months before our wedding and was able to meet with Adam and Kayla in person. I left feeling such a sense of relief as I knew that I was in good hands. It was actually kind of funny because when we left (my neighbor who is in her 50s) commented on how young they were. And that's what I loved! As someone who went to art school herself, I know how crucial it is to have someone who actually is up to date on everything. Photography and videography are both arts individually, but there is so much behind the scenes work (hours and hours of editing) that are required for weddings and I knew that I wanted a team that was fresh, current and hungry. That is 100% what you get with Double Knot. Adam and Kayla have this awesome balance of extreme professionalism but also of making you feel like they are friends that you've known for years. I was comfortable around them and it came through in all of the photos and videos. Wedding morning/day was complete chaos for me and I was finishing up so many last minute things. Adam was there to listen to my crazy banter, and even add in some himself, and somehow I think his presence actually calmed me down in some of those moments. Even when I was talking a mile a minute and anxiously joking, Adam was just chill and relaxed. I think that if I had an older team I just wouldn't have been as laid back as I was. *not knocking older photographers...just sayin' that this definitely played into my comfort level during a stressful morning. The Double Knot team really took the the reigns setting up some beautiful shots and just let me and my bridesmaids do our thing. The Groomsmen were all getting ready at a different house on property, and yet still, Adam and Kayla managed to capture so many wonderful moments at both. My husband and the groomsmen clearly felt comfortable around them because some of their group photos are hilarious! Kayla has such awesome direction with her photography and really feeds off of your energy. She's tiny and just quietly bopped around getting those amazing candid shots that I know every bride wants. She was like a Prius! She got some shots of me and I didn't even know she was there. Kayla was super efficient with all of our family photos and gave great direction. We have a big family and there were a lot of moving parts, but with some pre-planning they were able to really keep it flowing. Thanks to the smoothness of family photos, we really got to have a lot of fun with bride and groom shots. Kayla and her team were amazing! We thought we'd feel awkward being photographed together for the first time, but they made us feel so at ease and really soak in every single moment as husband and wife. They went above and beyond in every way; climbing up on things to get certain shots, fanning me off because it was so hot, you name it, they were on it. Post-wedding communication was great. Everything came as promised, on time, and exceeded all expectations. The only thing they didn't tell me up front was how emotional everything would make me! When looking at the photos, I cried, I laughed, and everything in between. Just when I'd see a photo I knew I wanted framed, I'd see another, and another...and another. And this is when I realized how glad I am that we added the photo album. I will cherish these photos for the rest of my life, but the one thing that I will be able to watch and get all of those wedding day "feels" back with is the Highlight video that Adam created. It's pure magic. I cannot even begin putting into words how it makes me feel every time I watch it. The abundance of love, the joy, the sense of family, and our personalities all came through in every second of the video. Photography and videography do so much more than preserve memories. They give you feeling. With each photo I look at, and each time I watch the highlight video, I go back to remembering how happy I was on my wedding day. My heart is just so full and we are so grateful for you!

Everything was great though as they were the consummate professionals.

So they were a joy to work with and the final product was incredible! If I have another video production or animation project of this size, I will certainly hire them--even if it means paying them extra to drive in from Austin.

I found Sarah on the Knot and browsed her portfolio online. She takes amazing photos -- everything has lovely soft touch to it. We asked to meet her and talk in person. I was having a really bad day the day I met with her but her personality is so cheerful that I found myself smiling and having a great time chatting with her. I knew this is someone I wanted to have around me on my wedding day. Despite how awkward I thought the engagement photo session was going to be, I had a lot of fun. Sarah directed us the whole time ("stand closer together, chin up, relax your shoulders...") which is what I really needed. Sarah searched everywhere for the best lighting and kept moving us around as the sun went down. I think of her as "the sun chaser." She got the engagement photos back to us just a few weeks later and they were amazing! She is also very well priced. I'm so thankful she was available for our wedding date! I can't recommend her enough. Edit: We received our wedding photos from Sarah a few weeks ago and they are gorgeous and so perfect. There is a lovely mix of portraits and documentary-style photos. Sarah and her assistant captured every moment of the day. I was so happy to be able to view photos of things I wasn't able to see, like my husband getting ready and my mom tearing up during the ceremony. I couldn't be happier with the outcome of the photos and my experience interacting with Sarah.

Working with KHP and her all-star team is not just a professional photography session but an experience that allows you to feel good about yourself and have that self shine in a way that feels completely authentic to you. I've had the pleasure of working with Olympia twice now -- once when I needed professionally styled headshots quite quickly for an upcoming feature/publication and once for a lifestyle shoot. To say that their product is top notch is an understatement -- no detail goes unthought of...from styling, hair and makeup, lighting, vision...and it all comes together with this fun, carefree, beautiful experience, working in their studio (and having fun as well) that makes this team worth every penny. They make it feel effortless. They also manage to compress entire sessions and selection process into short time span (though you wont feel rushed) ...genuinely, the work they do in terms of studio time would take most an entire day. While I'm sometimes guilty of gatekeeping treasured finds in austin, it just wouldnt be fair to not shout out praises for Olympia and Korey Howell Photography. Thank you for letting me share the best me!

Korey did my headshot update back in 2018 and I was thrilled with the results (see previous…read morereview.) A few months back, I logged into a Zoom call and noticed that my awesome headshots from that session didn't really look like me at all anymore. In this post-Covid lockdown world, as we might be tip-toeing slowly and carefully back to the world of in-person meetings and conferences, using an old headshot felt like a little bit of "bait and switch!" Let's face it, hair is longer, skin is still fabulous, but...I'm OLDER. Still awesome, still sassy, but I needed an update. This time I worked with the fabulous Olympia Roll (and again, why on earth would you make this investment without the professional makeup add-on specifically for the photographer?) who "got me" from the first minute. One thing I especially love is the super light touch on touchups and post-processing. These pictures look like me, not an air-brushed, over-filtered, a little too pose-y overly contrived version of me. Now I need to either write a book or run for office (or both! ha!) because she gave me photos that make me look and feel like a BOSS. Thank you!

It was raining the day of my wedding and Christina kept me calm and collected and worked quickly to get the shots we wanted.

She captures people's reactions to a funny story, the in between shots when you are just talking to your new husband and I could not be more appreciative of those. She also has extensive knowledge of many venues in town and knows where all the good shots are. Bottom line. You won't be disappointed and you'll love her friendly and personable vibe. Thanks, Christina!
