Where do I begin?! Sarah is just truly amazing as a person and photographer, there aren't enough words to say how grateful we are for Sarah and Micky. For our engagement shoot, we hit multiple spots that were special to us and then to St, Joseph, Michigan for a romantic beach sunset. It was relaxing, beautiful, and most of all FUN! The pictures are like no other and she really captured my husband and I in a way I didn’t know was possible. Sarah and Micky traveled all the way from Indiana where we are from, to Snowshoe, WV for our very intimate wedding. The day was SEAMLESS! With Sarah’s helpful planning, she helped build the timeline from start to finish. Her hard work and fun personality make you forget about any stresses you have about the special day or insecurities you have about yourself. You feel confident in your body and really live in that moment with your partner. I can’t say enough about how awesome Sarah is, and how flexible she can be. Sarah helped customize our package to fit our needs and budget for our destination wedding and ensured we got what we were looking for. Thank you so much Sarah and Mickey for your hard work, dedication and awesomeness!

Anna Hagen, Harpist 

5.0

  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $400
  • Serves Bristol, IN

When, I was eight, I announced to my parents, “I want to play the harp.” Their wisely cautious response was to give me a year of piano lessons! But once I got my fingers on strings, there was no looking back. Now I own six harps and play professionally for weddings, churches, senior care as well as arranging and recording. By mixing my years of classical training with my love of different genres I get to help people make memorable events with beautiful music. Meet me and the harps at my website.

Anna was an absolute dream to work with and a true highlight of our daughter’s wedding day. Her harp music added an unparalleled level of elegance and beauty to our lakeside ceremony. Every note she played was flawless and filled the air with an enchanting atmosphere that our guests can’t stop raving about. From our initial communication to the day of the event, Anna was energetic, interested, professional, accommodating, and clearly passionate about her music. She worked with us to customize the playlist, incorporating our special requests seamlessly into her repertoire. From Star Wars to Taylor…..Anna’s performance, delightful personality and contribution to the ceremony was exceptional. If you’re looking for a talented musician who will elevate your event to something truly magical, look no further than Anna Hagen. Her performance was worth every penny and more. Highly recommended!

From its historical beginnings as a stoic munitions depot, The Armory experienced a beautiful transformation to showcase a sophisticated ballroom, classy built-in bar and impressive commercial kitchen. Original element of the 1928 Armory construction and subsequent Newman Recreations Center were incorporated into the even space renovation to provide the perfect blend of past and present.Iron-barred doors used to secure armers and thick concrete walls reinforced with brick to accommodate the National Guard Armory and shooting range lend a rustic industrial aesthetic. Wood from the recreation center bleachers line the dramatic bar and the orginial hardwood floor was dressed up to grace the ballroom. The vaulted timber ceilings and exposed truss work allow the dazzling period chandeliers an opportunity to lend an air of elegance to the urban decor. Charm abounds in the union of classic architecture with a modern flair.

We cannot say enough positive things about Navarre Catering and Events. If you need a catering vendor for your wedding weekend, then Navarre is a great caterer to choose. We worked with Christine, our senior event specialist, and she did a fantastic job helping us navigate all the details of banquet event planning. We contracted Navarre for a Welcome Reception the night before the wedding and for the Wedding Reception itself, and both events were perfect! Our events happened in August 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic and they still went off smoothly. Christine helped us develop a strong plan for guest and staff safety and handled all the venue coordination as well. The food and service staff were excellent at both events! Christine made the awesome suggestion to have a family style platter service for the reception meal to help maintain social distancing, and it, along with the food quality, wound up being one of the most talked about aspects of the reception that our guests LOVED! Our experience working with Christine was comfortable and we really felt like she had our best interests at heart adapting as the planning details changed due to fluid pandemic conditions. We highly recommend Navarre and Christine for your wedding event.

I picked this location because of how beautiful the landscape is. So many different spots on the property to get married on, all beautiful. Different locations cost different price. Overall, relatively cheap compared to other venues. When talking to them, I first started with one wedding coordinator. She left and was informed about the new coordinator. She introduced herself and thought she was awesome. She was very tentative to all the details and was very helpful. I wasn’t informed that she had left and a new coordinator had taken her spot. I didn’t know there was a new coordinator until the day before the wedding. She didn’t take charge of anything. She took a back seat to everything. Told her I had a specific song I wanted to play for walking down the aisle. There wasn’t any sort practice with the song at the rehearsal. She couldn’t figure out how to connect my phone to the sound system. She couldn’t figure out how to navigate the song that I had already pulled up on my phone.

Let me have the honor of photographing or videoing Chapter One of your happily ever after.

My husband and I had a photographer that had an extenuating circumstance a couple days before our event and Adam came through huge for us! He was incredibly easy to talk to, listened to our vision and ran with it — we were blown away by his incredible creativity, quick action, and kindness. He will support you, get the most amazing shots for you and leave you with beautiful memories to look back on. I’m so grateful for Adam and his team for capturing our event! I highly recommend his services.

Audrey Taylor Photography

I'm Audrey Taylor wife, mom, photographer, baker, Coke Zero addict, Hufflepuff, and lover of all things Disney. Throughout my career I worked for large photography firms and privately doing all sort of photography from babies to seniors, weddings to 50th anniversary parties and everything else. I love being able to capture special moments for my clients. Please take the time to look around my site and social media to get to know my style, and always feel free to contact me with any questions.

Audrey was a rockstar! I generally don’t write reviews regardless of experience, but this review is so deserving. She was supposed to have a second photographer with her, but a medical issue occurred with that person and she had to come by herself. Even by herself, she nailed it! She didn’t miss anything and the pictures came out great! We couldn’t be happier with our entire experience and we highly recommend her.

I'm Katie Whitcomb. I am a classic wedding photographer based out of the Notre Dame, IN area. I stop in my tracks for a bright orange sunset, I'm obsessed with all tropical plants (seriously, my foyer is a jungle) and the feeling I get every time I walk into the Basilica of the Sacred Heart will never get old. Thank you for coming by. Let me know if I can do anything to help along the way.

Katie is the most amazing wedding photographer. She blows everyone else out of the water; it's not even close. She photographed my brother's Cape Cod wedding last summer and was so amazing that my family had to hire her for my Philly wedding this summer. She is professional, organized, and involved. She provides a wonderful timeline that sketches out your day in terms of photos. She keeps in touch often throughout the engagement process and helps you develop a vision of your wedding. She is kind and fun!!! She is a wonderful "cheerleader" to have with you on your big day in addition to being the best vendor ever. Then there's her photos. They are seriously gorgeous. They are timeless, classic, and romantic. She has developed a craft that is unmatched. All of my guests have been floored with the photos. Katie just the best!

Thank you so much for coming to my page. Photography has always been a passion of mine, but before photography I was a Firefighter/EMT and absolutely loved the career I was in. However, when my daughter was born, things quickly changed and I wanted to be able to stay home with my daughter and give my family the love and attention they deserve. Thats when I decided to go running full force with my photography business. Ever since then I have been capturing moments since 2021.

Mamas Lens Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, her communication was prompt, helpful, and passionate about capturing our special day. Dezaray has a true gift for documentary-style photography that freezes time and evokes the most emotional moments. Her amazing quality work made the day flow smoothly, as Dezaray provided a detailed timeline and coordination to keep us on track. We highly recommend booking Mamas Lens Photography for any wedding - you will not be disappointed with the incredible final photos that perfectly encapsulate the beauty and love of your celebration.
