Madison was an absolutely fabulous make up artist and brought excellent hair stylist with her that she trusts! We immediately clicked during the make up trials and I looked forward to each interaction since! She knows the ins and outs of every product she uses, and adjusted to make sure you felt comfortable and beautiful! She was very considerate and wanted to make sure she understood any suggestions or changes! She did phenomenal keeping my natural look and not hiding my freckles! The day of the wedding she was a really calming influence throughout the morning which helped me feel at ease. She created a detailed timeline with photos of each girl and their inspiration pieces! This helped the busy morning run so smoothly, especially with 9 women getting hair and make up!! I loved everything about the makeup and it lasted right until the end of the night, even after dancing all night long!! I will always refer her (Mindset Makeup Co.) to everyone for any occasion!

Hi 👋🏼 my name is Katie and I would love to film your wedding day for you! Wedding videography is a creative outlet for me and is not my full time career. I do this because I truly have a passion for capturing love and providing my clients with videos that show their big day exactly as it happened! I film weddings solo on a single professional quality camera (no drones or full scale productions) which allows me to stay in the background as much as possible and capture the day in the most natural way possible.

We were thrilled to have KSPS Video as our wedding videographers. From our first interaction, Katie was extremely attentive, kind, and accommodating, taking the time to understand our vision and preferences. Her open-minded approach made the planning process seamless and she worked really well with our photographer to capture every moment. The quality of her work was truly impressive - the solo camera filming captured all the candid, genuine moments of our special day in a professional manner. And the best part? Her services were budget-friendly, providing excellent value. We couldn't be happier with the beautiful video that now allows us to relive our wedding day.

We had the absolute privilege of having Novel Cinema capture our special day. I've got to be honest, we were initially a bit nervous about being in front of the camera, but the team at Novel put us at ease right from the get-go. They have a way of making you feel like you're just hanging out with friends who happen to have cameras! The magic they worked with those cameras though - it's nothing short of amazing! They captured every laugh, every tear, every loving look - and then some. It's like they had a sixth sense for those little moments that make a wedding day so special. Watching our wedding video for the first time was like reliving the day all over again. To all the soon-to-be-wed couples out there, do yourselves a favor and hire Novel. Thank you for giving us a memory that will last a lifetime. You guys rock! Jason and Amanda

Jenni and her team did a phenomenal job capturing our wedding day. We felt so comfortable from the moment we first met with her and that definitely translated to how easy it felt taking direction from her for our wedding day photos. Her team took time to get to know us and figure out what we were comfortable with so it felt natural (we're not the most comfortable in front of the camera but somehow she figured out how to get those sweet in the moment shots without it feeling forced!). The photos turned out stunning. From the formal portraits to our mountain top vows to the sweetest candids she captured of me and my dad and my adorable nieces and nephews there’s seriously so many amazing photos to choose from. I also appreciated how organized she was with our formal portrait list keeping it quick and everyone ready to move through those as soon as possible. Cannot recommend her enough. Thank you so much Jenni! We absolutely could not dream of better photos!

Plant Girl Shop made my floral dream come true for my wedding day! I couldn't believe how stunning all of the florals were when I finally saw them in person, I was truly in awe!!! It was so much fun to work with Chrstine and Laurie. They were so easy going, friendly, responsive, and helpful! They allowed me to make several changes throughout my wedding planning process and adapted the proposal just as I wanted it. I found that they convey the proposal to clients in the most visually pleasing and organized way. They show pictures of each flower that would be in the different arrangements, so you know exactly what to expect. Sometimes it can be hard to envision an arrangement when its not put together right in front of you but with this I could really see it come together. My Type-A self truly appreciated that level of detail in the process so I could envision what the florals would look like for that day! I can’t recommend Plant Girl Shop enough! They are floral experts and will bring your floral wedding vision to life!!

My beauty journey started when I was about 4 years old.That’s when I helped myself to my mother’s lipsticks—which weren’t easy to come by in those days! I decided that day -and all days- should be Halloween, and I painted my face accordingly. As I grew, my love affair with makeup intensified. When I was a teenager, I would wear heavy, smoky eye makeup. I’ve grown out of that stage, having come to appreciate natural beauty. It’s natural beauty that I focus on now. But don’t get me wrong! I still love a wide palate of colors and working on creative photoshoots, pictorial projects, and editorial pieces.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a great experience with Elena and her team! We did the silver package and my best friends, mom, and I were all thrilled with the end product and experience overall. We were not a make up and hair savvy group and she easily took us through the process and went with the vibe each girl asked for. She really listened to us when we asked for a more natural look and I couldn’t have felt more beautiful on my wedding day.

We talk about how you want to be captured, how your love should be captured. We go over insecurities, love stories, and anything else that may come up during our Zoom calls. I don't want to be just someone you hire. I want to be considered someone you trust, and enjoy to have around!

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Tara Beth for our wedding in December 2022. We started following her instagram years prior and fell in love with how she captured every moment, from the guests to the couple. Not only were her photos amazing, but being a part of the LGBTQ community can feel daunting at times when reaching out to vendors, specifically for same-sex weddings. We had a few tough experiences with other vendors in regards to being a same-sex couple, but Tara Beth, as she is a part of the community, made it easy to feel comfortable and accepting. We contacted her and were met with a quick response. From the start, we knew she was the one. Her vibe and passion for love sold us! My wife and I were very nervous to take photos, but Tara Beth reassured us that she would walk us through everything - and she did just that. She talked us through our first look and it was an amazing experience. She also guided our party and family photos, which was super helpful as we were able to get our photos done ahead of schedule! We appreciate everything Tara Beth did for our special day and would recommend her 100 times over!

We have 3 boys and she’s so good and patience with them. She captured the essence of our wedding perfectly. Her work is absolutely stunning. Thank you so much for everything!

My husband and I are so happy we chose Dean to be our wedding photographer. He left us an amazing gallery of 700 photos to choose from. He has an excellent attention to detail. He came to our venue the day before the ceremony at the time of the wedding to make sure he got the lighting and all of the posed photo spots picked out. He was extremely fairly priced, and did great work with all of the photos we received back. He communicated with us often in the months leading up to the wedding as well as after when we were getting the photos back, even offering some prints to us. He was professional, fun, and friendly. Dean went above and beyond with our wedding photos, and we would be happy to recommend him to anyone needing a professional photographer.

Hi! I'm Courtney -- the founder and lead planner of Crown Coordination. You could say I'm your not-so-average pineapple obsessed, wine loving, adventure seeking chaos coordinator. When I say that I literally get married for a living and absolutely love it -- I mean it!

We connected 4.5 months out from our wedding - after our original venue fell through and we had to find a new one - Courtney showed up eager, confident, excited and supportive. It was important for her to build a friendship first, learn about us then dive into everything that we needed and THEN some. Her experience within the event and wedding planning industry shows immediately - her connections to vendors, advice, ideas and knowledge of how a successful day looks is a huge part of what makes her team so powerful - not to mention the extremely bubbly, funny and positive energy she brings to every conversation and meeting. To top it all off, the morning and afternoon of our wedding day was a straight monsoon - Courtney and her team did not blink, jumped into GO mode and turned our day, venue, timeline and energy around flawlessly. Crown Coordination are the people you want by your side for anything that could unexpectedly pop up! We will always be thankful for their guidance, support and incredible partnership. This is your sign to call Crown Coordination ASAP!

I specialize in capturing authentic moments and genuine emotions through a storytelling + editorial style approach - I celebrate the beauty of moments that sing, people who dance, and the essence of love. I can promise every shot will tell a tale that lingers in the heart! I cannot wait to tell your story!!

My newly minted husband and I were over the moon from the initial contact with Anna Elisabeth. She is an excellent listener with a superb sense of capturing our wishes in her photographs. We had an unusual experience in that we wanted to capture both of our faith traditions on different days and different geographical areas in the same state. Anna Elisabeth professionally and respectfully photographically savored these traditions beautifully with her photographic gift. She was present and her presence was professionally and discretely demonstrated. Her keen sense of recording precious moments was one of storybooks.. from having the pictures of the bride's mother place, her once veil (when the mother was married 57 years ago) to having the groom's mother putting a family heirloom bracelet on to capturing the special wink given by the groom when he first saw the bride walking down the aisle with her father. All these moments were special at the time and Anna Elisabeth captured them beautifully and discretely. Communication is very important to us, and Anna Elisabeth was professional, prompt and demonstrated honest integrity throughout the entire process. We are providing her a 5 star rating but she is off the charts and anyone who uses her will understand why she should be rated a 10!

If you’re thinking about it, just do it. Don’t question it. Lindsay is truthfully heaven sent. I worked with Lindsay prior as she shot one of my friends weddings & upon getting engaged i knew instantly i had to have her for my own! From day one she was so sweet and easy to work with. We choose to do the package which included engagement photos and they came out absolutely stunning i just knew our wedding photos would be 10X better. The sneak peek alone of our photos brought me to tears. She made our day so smooth & calming that everyone couldn’t stop raving about her. I feel so blessed to have had her be apart of our day. To know i have these beautiful memories for the rest of my life that she was able to capture is something i will forever be so grateful for.

What if your photos actually looked and felt like you? Picture yourself 10 years from now on your wedding anniversary looking back at your wedding album with tears welling up in your eyes as you relive your day. Your wedding should not feel like a performance. Let go of boring wedding traditions, think outside of the box and create something unique that has never been done before. Whatever the perfect day looks like for you, why shouldn’t that be your wedding day? I am more than your wedding photographer, I am your guide, biggest fan, and the curator of your love story, I will also be the one tearing up from behind my lens.

Danielle was professional, warm, and knowledgeable. She guided us through every step of our day and weathered through unexpected torrential downpours and hurricane winds all while keeping morale up for the whole wedding party! Danielle took the time to get to know what we wanted and needed from her and her intuition filled in the parts that we didn’t even know we needed. Loved Danielle, Love love love our photos, couldn’t recommend her enough!

His communication throughout the planning process was great - he responded quickly to emails and made sure we were all on the same page regarding shot locations and timing.

My wedding was this past weekend, and I still want to shout Amanda's praises from every rooftop! Hire her now! We had a complex wedding design: a full three-night, four-day weekend with several different spaces and layouts involved, and different guest lists for each day. Amanda handled everything masterfully. Every detail was exactly as we imagined (and more!), and she was a true joy to work with. My mother and I have different working styles and visions, and somehow Amanda found a way to meet both of our needs at each turn and help us avoid any conflict with one another. Amanda is highly detail-oriented and has a way of handling so many things "behind the scenes" and well in advance of the wedding - including crafting much of the decor and guest gifts weeks in advance, then personally transporting them to the wedding. It was efforts like this that really set her apart from other planners -- measurably reducing our stress each moment and taking things off our very full plates. We will genuinely miss speaking and working with Amanda. Our only regret was not hiring her sooner - she joined us after we had personally booked our venue and a handful of vendors, but having her with us earlier would have only enhanced our planning process.
