Hi! A little bit about my business is I started Nanii Negron films back in 2020 with an "experiment". Which was, "What is it that I can do with my drone and camera".

I love what I get to do!! It’s my PASSION! I enjoy capturing all of the beautiful and unscripted moments. I love how every wedding is different and each one presents its unique moments that I seek after. I also do photography but I gotta say, there’s something extra special about being able to bring those photos to life and turning them into your own movie, so that you can relive every moment of your day instead of just seeing them in pictures. You get to feel the emotions and relive the moments with loved ones.

Alex was such a dream to work with! From start to finish made the wedding/videography experience so easy and fun! His outgoing, comedic, and fun personality made my husband and I so comfortable throughout the entire shoot time. As people who don’t like to be in the spotlight, that was huge! To feel so comfortable and have so much fun on our big day was so special. Additionally, Alex went out of his way to make a trailer of our wedding video for our friends and family who couldn’t make it to our wedding due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was so wonderful to get to share a glimpse of the big day with them, brought tears to their eyes! Alex truly captured everything that I wanted, from all the beautiful shots of the romantic venue, to capturing our quirky personalities and making such a beautiful film of it. Thank you for sharing your incredible talent Alex! Sincerely, Robert and Sophia Wilson

I am a published photographer located in the beautiful state of Tennessee. I am a mama to two fascinating, wild little girls and I have a passion for running around, breathing in life. Photography has been a life long passion of mine; I can remember being a small child running around with disposable cameras trying to capture everything in site. Now, as an adult, photography is my way of making permanent what I, and others, hold close. I love tattoos, am romance book obsessed (honestly this career could not have been better picked) and hope to one day go sky diving! Now that you know a bit about me, I can't wait to learn about you!

From the moment we booked Beautiful Images by Toni, their communication was fast, helpful, and responsive. Toni's unique, creative, and fun style captured the excitement of our special day perfectly. She was there to help wherever she could, making everything feel seamless and just right. We are thrilled with the beautiful photos that will allow us to relive our wedding day for years to come.

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 I’m Jeff, of Jeff Jansen Photography! Planning a wedding takes a lot of time and effort and can be incredibly stressful. You invest a lot of emotion and energy into your big day. Let Jeff Jansen Photography take some of the stress out of your wedding day. As your wedding photographer, we answer emails quickly, so you don’t have to stress waiting for an answer to your questions, and setting up extra meetings just to help calm the nerves? It’s our pleasure! We will always show up a little early and are very attentive to our client’s requests. We’re here for you from booking to after the last dance when the lights go down.

Hiring a GREAT photographer should be one of the first and most researched vendors for any event. Your location can be beautiful, you share special moments in the lush tropical settings Florida offers, and you are surrounded by love...but no professional photos? You will definitely regret not hiring a professional photographer. Yes, your iPhone can take good pics - but there is absolutely no comparison to that of a professional - especially capturing bright sunlight or sunsets. Your phone can only do so much! As a vendor in the wedding industry I am very fortunate to work with many skilled professionals but some are on a completely different level of quality, talent, professionalism, and service. There are very few photographers that I "put on a pedestal" but Jeff (and Nancy) are exceptional. Their quality of images and the varied shots they are able to capture on wedding day (without even knowing they are there) - is mind blowing. They are fun to work with and have such a creative eye behind the lens. I highly recommend Jeff Jansen Photography, without a doubt.

Hey girl hey! I'm a destination wedding and elopement photographer, based in Atlanta, GA! I'm a 24 year old dog mom to my boy, Gunner, an avid gluten-free baker, and New Girl & Jane The Virgin fanatic. I picked up a camera during college and never looked back. I've been a full-time wedding and elopement photographer since 2019. I am obsessed with weddings and genuinely love every day I've gotten to be a part of. I fell in love with travel at a young age and knew that I needed to use that passion to serve my couples. Now, I capture my couple's dream weddings and elopements all over the world and I couldn't be happier!

If you’re looking for a friendly, fun and professional photographer who captures the most beautiful images of your big day then look no further and book Sydney, you will not be disappointed! Sydney photographed our wedding back in October and we were so impressed with her from start to finish. During the whole process Sydney was always there to answer any questions and also gave us really helpful advice regarding planning a wedding in general. She was extremely helpful on the day of the wedding and captured every moment we had dreamed of! Sydney has also photographed our Christmas photos and engagement photos. We have officially found our photographer for life!

I’ll be the first to say it, I probably care more about your flowers than you do! I love bringing my clients’ vision to life with fresh florals, and doing so in a low-pressure but professional way. My background is in a traditional brick-and-mortar florist’s shop, but I love expanding on the traditional designs I learned there to bring you a little something different.

I will forever be thankful for Mallory and her behind the scenes helpers in helping make our day beautiful and memorable. I found Honeycomb Florals through a previous bride’s vendor list and wanted to support a local, small business. The quality work and professionalism did not go unnoticed. Communication was always open and there was never an unanswered question or suggestion. The arrangements were breathtaking and I still get compliments on my dreamy bouquet. Thank you, Mallory for adding a special touch to our day!

Hi friends! I'm so glad you stopped by my site. I'm Kallie, and this is my business, my creative outlet, my dream, and my vision. I graduated high school in 2017, where I continued to pursue my love for photography. I gradually started building a photography clientele base by shooting family sessions, seniors, and couples. In 2018 I started second shooting weddings and quickly fell head over heels for them! I had been around weddings my whole life helping with decorating and catering, which is what I think blinded me from seeing how amazing it is to be able to capture a love-soaked wedding day.

Kallie was absolutely amazing! She understood us so well, she was on time! I was able to tell her about any minor issues I had and she was always there to help. We loved her and she will definitely be our family photographer! If you want professionalism, beautiful photos and someone caring, then you have to use her!

The day that you exchange vows with the love of your life should one filled with peace, love, pure bliss...and a whole lot of fun! My job doesn't stop at creating timeless photos for you, it extends to offering you a sense of peace and showing you that a wedding/elopement day doesn't have to be stressful. Photography began as a passion for me and I make sure to hold on tight on to that and bring that passion into every event, every couple I photograph.

We cannot recommend Kali enough! Covid-19 was not part of the wedding we dreamed of or planned, but with all of the support and help Kali helped make our dreams come true and put our anxieties at ease. She was very attentive and was a delight to work with! Her fun loving personality makes you feel like you’re just hanging out with your best friend. We could not be happier with the way our photos came out and know we will treasure them for years to come. If you want a kind, creative, and talented wedding photographer look no further!
