Julia is such a gem to work with. When we first did our engagement photos my fiance at the time and I were kind of uncomfortable going into it and instantly Julia made us feel so confortable. We knew we wanted her to do our wedding photos and WOW she delivered! Beautiful photos and wonderful person to be around. I think our whole wedding party mentioned to us after the wedding how great she was and some of our friends at the wedding ended up booking her for their wedding! Can't recommend enough!

Hi! My name is Abby Law, owner of Abby Law Photography! I was born & raised in Grand Rapids MI, but for the the last five years, I have been living in Tennessee. I am based out of the Nashville area! I have been working in the wedding industry since Oct 2022, and I have loved every second of it! I married the love of my life in Dec 2023 which only made my heart swell more & more for not only photography and this business of mine, but for the deeper meaning of marriage itself, and what it truly means to marry your Beloved! Although I am primarily based in Nashville, I LOVE to travel, and will travel to wherever you are!

Abby was a GEM to work with and took incredible couple photos of my husband and I! We have done two different shoots with her and they both have been so much fun! We got TONS of incredible photos that we’ve used for Christmas cards, invitations, etc. ! Her editing and posing skills are through the roof and my husband (out of all people!!!!) was itching to do another shoot with her because of how much HE loved the pics! :) We are so thankful for the gorgeous pictures! Abby is one of the best to work with :)

Hey y'all! Welcome and congrats on your engagement! I'm Aliyah, a photographer based in Texas, but available anywhere. If I'm not out shooting, you can find me listening to crime podcasts and chasing my two toddlers around. I'm a hopeless romantic and I've probably binged watched every cheesy Hallmark movie. I celebrate ALL love! I strive to make my couples feel comfortable and confident no matter what. I love to laugh and have fun so let's get this party started!

Awarded Best of Zola
Aliyah photographed our engagement shoot and wedding in the summer of 2022. Her photos are absolutely beautiful and we love them so much!! We are truly overwhelmed by all the special moments that she captured. We were also so impressed with her turnaround time on sharing the photos, which were super easy to view and download via her online platform. But most importantly, we had so much fun working with her (and her assistant, Amani! Shout-out to Amani)! Aliyah is great to be around and made us feel totally comfortable. After our engagement shoot, it felt like she was an old friend by the time of the wedding and we were genuinely so happy to have her there. One of the best pieces of wedding advice that we have is to get a photographer that you think will mesh well with your friends and family, put you at ease with all the intense emotions of the day, and bring fun and positive energy to the party. Aliyah is all those things and more, and she has our highest recommendation.

I'm Megan, founder of Radiant Film NC. I created Radiant Film NC to help couples have a tangible, lasting memory of their wedding. I LOVE filming weddings for couples and creating something beautiful they can go back and watch to remember the best day of their lives by.

Megan is my sister but I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. While she was doing her MOH duties her team was behind the scenes handling everything so professionally so she could be in the moment with me. She still jumped in when she could for some extra behind the scenes footage with her 1st ever super 8 film at a wedding. Megan and her team are the most kind hearted and go the extra mile to make sure every detail and moment of your day is absolutely perfect. If I have learned anything from being married it would have to be pay for the extras and the add ons because these moments will be memories in the blink of an eye! Make sure to check out the super 8 on her website or inquire about it because it is so worth it! I also recommend adding on the raw footage of your day because that feels more real than anything just hearing those moments from that day over again brings you the best feeling. So I say this as a bride and not a sister you MUST book Radiant Film and definitely inquire about the add ons! Find videos on her website or social media pages.

I believe you can't stand behind your business unless you can say you fully understand it – and 24 years of marriage is proof that I KNOW LOVE. I set out to capture the essence of love when I started Parker Photography in 2018. I have been married to my best friend for the last 24 years, and people who meet us swear we are newlyweds. We still act like lovestruck teenagers with each other, that same feeling we get from every newly engaged couple that we meet. We know where our couples are coming from and what they hope to capture in their engagement sessions and on their wedding day, and we make it effortless for them to achieve their goals.

Deb and her team did an absolutely amazing job with our wedding pictures in April 2021. The pictures are so beautiful and did a great job of capturing our day.

She effortlessly brings ambiance of every event she attends, creating a magical atmosphere with her music. Whether your dream wedding is an intimate gathering or a grand affair, Sarah will help bring your vision to life.

I am writing this review about Sarah. First of all, she was so great at being responsive which right off the bat was a big deal for me. Planning a wedding is stressful but during our first initial meet through Zoom I was immediately put at ease. Second, booking her was extremely easy and fairly priced. Thirdly, she was on time and I balled my eyes out walking down the aisle to beauty and the beast. I've never heard the harp in person and it was an experience I will never forget. She made my event elegant and elevated in all the right ways. If I ever have an excuse to bring Sarah back to another event, I WILL and will recommend her to anyone looking for calm, beautiful music for any event. Thank you thank you thank you Sarah!

Based in the heart of the Midwest, our event staffing company specializes in providing exceptional corporate event staff, event staffing, and convention staffing for sporting events, private functions, concerts, and more. Our mission is simple: to infuse every event with outstanding service and vibrant professionalism.

Setting up and planning everything with the person online was wondering and really gave me high hopes! Everything went super smoothly. They gave me a comprehensive shopping list and helped finesse all the recipes for our mocktail bar. Also checked in a few times prior to the wedding to make sure we were all on the same page. Now the bartender who came was a different story. She forget several of her tools needed including knives for all the garnishes. I had bought quite a bit of oranges, lemons, limes etc. She was also incredibly rude and several people remarked to me about that during the wedding day and after the wedding. She looked miserable and angry the whole time at the wedding. The only time I went to the bar, she wasn’t there and after about 10 minutes of waiting around, she came back and I asked to try all my mocktails and she gave me a judgy look and said that she was already made a drink for the bride earlier. I asked again and finally after my husband asked with me she made them but reluctantly. Mind you, this was a nonalcoholic bar. Overall liked Bucky’s, but the bartender was who worked with them was having an off day.

Hi there! We’re Tracey-Ann and Martin, wife and husband photography team, and we’re ready to capture the fun and romance of your wedding day. We’ve been documenting love stories for 14+ years (and happily married even longer!) and, along with beautiful photos, our intention is to infuse your day with pure joy! Partners in life and business, we use our synchronicity to document your day and to capture those special candid moments that make your wedding unique.

I absolutely love collaborating with Tracey and Martin for my weddings and my personal blog. I always recommend them to my clients. Besides taking stunning photographs which is evident in their portfolio, they are two of the nicest people you can be blessed to know. Most people do not feel comfortable in front of the camera and both Tracey and Martin have a very special gift of making their clients feel so naturally comfortable and their clients are then able to let loose and the final result is beautiful memorable moments captured on film. It truly has been a pleasure to have them as fellow industry peers.

Heyyy! I'm Sam. I'm a slightly over-caffeinated creative soul who has made capturing love my passion. I love all things vintage and antique to chase that fuzzy nostalgic feeling <3 When I'm not glued to my camera or laptop- I'm spending all my time with my Husband and Son as well as our 2 dogs and cat. :) If you are interested in pricing/booking with me, please visit my website and complete an inquiry form as leads on Zola cost vendors money <3

We had the pleasure of working with Enchanted Aura Photography for our wedding, and Samantha was an absolute delight. Communication was exceptional throughout the planning process, which made everything so smooth and stress-free. On the big day, Samantha brought her fun, kind and easygoing energy which made taking photos enjoyable rather than stiff or staged. The gorgeous photos she delivered truly captured the special moments and emotions of our wedding beautifully. We couldn't have pictured a better photographer to document our special day! Samantha has an incredible talent for capturing emotion and relationships in her photography. We loved working with her and highly recommend Enchanted Aura to any couples looking for a talented, personable wedding photographer.

I like to think of myself as a lil bit southern, lil bit punk, and a whole lotta rock-n-roll. I’m a PBR lover, hardcore show corner dweller, disco ball queen. You’re going to hear me say, “hell yeah, brother” more than twice, Dale Earnhardt is an icon, and Dolly Parton is royalty. You'll love me if you're a little trashy, always classy, badass, sometimes chic, forever romantic. Unwedding, editorial, nontraditional, offbeat, colorful, joyful, film-inspired, and disco vibes always. If you like, I'll wear a rainbow suit, I'll definitely dance with your mom, and I will always be a champion for you and your lover.

Kathleen is hands down the best photographer I’ve ever worked with. Her professionalism and quality of product are unmatched. She goes above and beyond with her work and you can tell how passionate she is about it. If you want someone with great energy, clear communication, incredible products, great professionalism, and so much more then she’s your girl!

I’m a Sunshine State native, a Pisces, and a lover of the outdoors. Photography is my favorite way to connect with people. The ability to freeze a memory to look back on for years at a time is what kept me wanting more. I am forever in awe that taking photos allows me to create art, while also giving people stories to reflect on down the line.

Awarded Best of Zola
We found Sufia through a recommendation from another Central Florida photographer, and we're so glad that we crossed paths with her! We booked her for our small wedding in March of 2021, and shortly after that booking we had engagement photos done. She had perfect recommendations for locations that would fit us, and was also so sweet and patient with our pup that we brought along for the morning too. Even in the super humid Florida weather, we had a great time doing our session and we loved the pictures- They're hanging in our house now! Once our wedding rolled around, Sufia and her partner for the day were lovely to work with- My husband and I are both pretty introverted, but they made the environment relaxing and fun. Sufia found ways to inject little pieces of our life into the final photos, which is so special to get to look back on- Even managing to get in some fun pictures with our very young nieces and nephews, which is no small feat with so many personalities in play. I loved our experiences so much, and actually booked her again just this month for some couple photos to commemorate a personal event. Of course the logistical things are important- she's prompt, professional, and the quality of her work is wonderful- but on top of that, she's simply a great individual with a warm, kind energy, and a genuine desire to gift others with memories of their most special days. If you have the opportunity to work with her, do it!

Waiter's Choice Catering has been serving the Charlotte community since 1989. We are a family-owned business committed to providing handcrafted food and exceptional service at affordable prices. Our design & production team will help you craft the perfect day, a celebration reflecting your unique sense of style and taste. We can serve a hot meal for as little as 10 people or as large as 1000+. Waiter’s Choice is dedicated to developing a relationship with our clients to reflect their unique love for each other, beginning with a complementary tasting and ending with matching the dream to the budget.

We worked with Margie and her team for our January 2023 wedding. We weren’t really sure what we wanted going into the consultation, but Margie helped us narrow down what we wanted and we ended up with three stations. Tacos, pasta, and sliders. They accommodated our guests with dietary restrictions very nicely. For example for our vegans, they often get a plate of mixed vegetables as their meals at weddings. Waiter’s Choice made BBQ jackfruit sliders for them and had pasta made with chickpeas so they had options to choose from. We didn’t get to eat much at our wedding as is usually the case, but we were happy to find a bag from Waiter’s Choice packed up with all off the different foods we had as well as a bottle of champagne. We both got colds after the wedding so we were very happy to live off those leftovers for a few days!

Hi I'm Andrew! I first started filming weddings when my sister got married in 2017. I quickly fell in love with the entire process and getting to know all the couples and their guests. Maybe I'm just a hopeless romantic haha (My guilty pleasure is Hallmark movies, once I walk in the room with it on I have to see how it ends!).

Awarded Best of Zola
We used Andrew for our Joshua Tree wedding in September 2020. Like many covid weddings it was very stressful. Andrew was very reliable and put us at ease. We absolutely love our video. He did a wonderful job of capturing the day and all the important memories. Would highly recommend!!

Kaila is an absolute must-have at your wedding! She was the wedding day-of coordinator for my sister’s wedding in Detroit, and we loved her. When I started planning my wedding in Traverse City and Kaila agreed to join us as my wedding month-of coordinator, I was thrilled. She is amazing to work with! Leading up to the wedding, we met several times to go over all the details of the wedding. She orchestrated all the details and timelines with our vendors in the weeks before the wedding. She brought table numbers, cards boxes, easels, etc so we didn’t need to. She responded to questions quickly and made me (and my mom!) feel so relaxed. She is so kind, thoughtful, and has just the right amount of spunk to make sure the bride and groom get the wedding of their dreams. During my wedding weekend, I didn’t have to think about a thing! Kaila and her assistant handled everything! It made for such a relaxing and enjoyable day, and the wedding was absolutely perfect. I would recommend Kaila to anyone (and two of our friends have hired her for their weddings!)!

I have always enjoyed being creative in all areas of my life. One of my favorite memories is when my uncle and I spent time building bookshelves, benches and other home decor pieces. As the go-to party planner for my family and friends, I was inspired to follow my passion and become an event planner. Today, Diasha Williams Events and Designs is a full-service wedding and events planning company based in Maryland. We plan weddings and special events in Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia, as well as Georgia and Florida. Our passion for designing events has led us to specialize in weddings, but we also create family and corporate events.

I shared my idea for my daughter's graduation party with Ms. Williams. She not only executed it flawlessly but also exceeded my expectations. Throughout the planning process, she kept me well-informed, provided multiple design options, and, most importantly, adhered to my budget. She is, without a doubt, the best event planner I have ever had the pleasure of working with.
