Carlos was fantastic. He set up efficiently, and was communicative leading up to the wedding. He gave us access to an app to help create our wedding playlist (and do not plays) and verified with us throughout the night to make sure we were on track with the plans. He was able to feel out the crowd and play music to fit the moments. Highly recommend!

On my wedding day, I absolutely loved the end results, and all this while staying within my budget. I would so highly recommend Ashley and Dazy Florist!

My goal is to make a human connection with all my clients and deliver images that you'll love forever.

She was wonderful to work with - she remembered the priorities we discussed before our wedding day, and was great at rolling with all of the unexpected parts of our day. The images she produced are absolutely stunning! We're so happy we decided to work with her. Overall, her aesthetic is beautiful, and she is kind and thoughtful to work with. Highly recommended!

There are not words to describe how much we loved having DJ Krystyle perform at our Aug 2024 wedding. She was very responsive, communicative, and has a super easy online portal that helps capture every detail you could think of for the event music. She’s also a lovely human in general to work with. We went with the approach of choosing the major songs and providing general recommendations around genres and let the expert handle the rest. We had multiple guests tell us they could not stop dancing or singing along the entire night. We had every age group on the dance floor. If it’s any indication - my photographer had to remind me a few times to stop bouncing around so she could get some good still shots. In our opinion, it doesn’t get any better than DJ Krystyle.

Neal and I were extremely happy with Driftr Films. Danny captured our wedding ceremony at Casa Real at Ruby Hill Winery (in Livermore wine country) on July 25th beautifully! We were so please to be able to have this memory for us. Danny was highly professional and personable, and the video and audio came out perfect! He delivered a link with our ceremony and a short reel the next day via email! The link was easy to access and the video downloaded with no problem at all. We can also use the link to share with friends and family. We really appreciated how Danny was willing to work with us to put together a package for us to just capture the ceremony. His pricing was also very reasonable compared to other vendors. He also took the time to get to know us as a couple before the ceremony through a combination of online questionnaire and a video meeting two weeks before our big day. We highly recommend Danny and Driftr Films.

Philip and Good Musicians were truly incredible for our wedding! They provided the string duo for our ceremony, the guitarist during cocktail hour, and a 7 piece band including a male and female singer. Our guests even commented how good the guitarist was during cocktail hour! They played a wide variety of music including Spanish music, classics, country, alternative, pop etc., and nailed every song! They also did the Hora for us as well. The singers (male singer-Philip is the band manager) and the female singer sounded amazing live! The band and the DJ during the band breaks kept the energy alive all night. Philip was super responsive, even up until the day before the wedding when we made a few minor changes to song choices. We are so grateful we could have them for our wedding. For reference, we got married at The Addison in Boca Raton Florida in September 2024 in the main dining room.

Awarded Best of Zola
Finding a wedding photographer can be overwhelming with so many factors to consider—editing style, creativity, budget, personality, trustworthiness, and professionalism. As we browsed through various photographers’ websites, we discovered we were drawn to images with natural, bright colors and skin tones that didn’t appear to be dull or washed out. When we came across Karisa’s site, we instantly knew her editing style was exactly what we wanted for our wedding day. Reaching out to Karisa was such a great experience. She was very friendly, patient, knowledgeable, and professional. After our initial call, where she explained her photography packages and process, we knew with both her talent and personality, she would be a perfect fit for us. We are absolutely thrilled with our engagement and wedding photos from Love, Lomax Studios. Karisa’s warm personality truly sets her apart—she treats you and your partner like friends rather than just clients. You can tell she genuinely wants to capture the best photos for you and she really takes the time to do that. She listens to your requests of what you are envisioning and she also has many creative ideas of her own. My partner and I had never had a professional photography session done, but after working with Karisa we both felt that she truly has a knack for making everyone feel at ease in front of the camera, resulting in stunning photos that reflect energy and personality. Trusting someone to capture such an important day can be daunting, but I can wholeheartedly say that choosing Love, Lomax Studios was the right decision. Karisa delivered our photos well ahead of schedule, she provided valuable tips and details before our sessions and throughout our planning process, and her lovely presence made our wedding day even more special. We love revisiting our engagement and wedding photos often - her creativity and attention to detail are remarkable. We are so grateful to have chosen Love, Lomax Studios. The beautifully edited photos reflect the love, emotions, and joy of our wedding day and she captured more than we could’ve ever asked for. We can’t thank Karisa enough for preserving these memories for us. We will cherish her work for the rest of our lives. We love Karisa and highly recommend Love, Lomax Studios to anyone in search of a talented and professional photographer—you won’t be disappointed! If I could attach our entire album of photos I would because we love them all, but here are a few of our favorites. Thank you for everything, Karisa!!

Rachel is an amazing musician, but also an amazing person. While we knew most of the music we wanted for our ceremony, I struggled on what MY processional song would be. As a wedding vendor myself, I’ve heard every typical song used as a bridal processional. She was patient with me while I decided, and when I threw her a complete curveball of an emo song, she composed it PERFECTLY for the duo. I nearly cried when I heard it. Then standing behind the doors waiting for them to open for me and hearing that song play is a core memory for me. She’s amazing. Hire her now.

For the Artistry of Love This is about you. The way you laugh together, the quiet moments when no one else is watching, the chaos and joy that make your love yours. I’m Annie Austin, a documentary meets editorial photographer based in East Texas, and my work is all about creating emotive, artistic, and intentional images that feel as personal as your story. You don’t need to know how to pose or what to do—I’ll guide you, capturing the real moments that matter. Let’s create something you’ll not just look at, but feel, every time you see it.

Awarded Best of Zola
TLDR: I could not have picked a better photographer and I truly believe that Annie would be perfect for absolutely anyone. Her energy is infectious in a way that really brings up your excitement levels but also keeps your anxiety down. My husband is very introverted and was really worried about photos, but she kept him comfortable and in his element in a way I truly don’t believe anyone else would have. As for myself, I felt beautiful and gorgeous the entire time because of her and her partner. For the work she did and the amount of effort she puts into our photos, I believe her prices are incredibly fair. If anything, she’s undercutting herself. I will absolutely be recommending Annie to anyone and everyone. Now for the longer part of the review! We got married on May 30th, 2024 and we were doing our wedding a little differently. Instead of doing private vows or doing our vows at the ceremony, we did our vows at our rehearsal dinner. That is also when we allowed friends and family to come up and say something. The reason we did this route is because my husband is introverted and not a public speaker while I am the complete opposite. He also really wanted to see my walk down the aisle as our first look instead of a private look. Me, on the other hand, wanted at least our family and close friends to witness our vows. So we compromised! On top of it being two separate days, I was very adamant that I wanted two photographers along with wanting to capture the little things, such as my grandparents holding hands or our friends doing silly things at a table. I don’t mind staged photos, but I really wanted more natural focused shots. It was surprisingly difficult to find someone who was able to both days and within our price range. When we stumbled upon Annie, it felt like fate. She was so easy to figure things out with. Instead of an engagement photo session, she was happy to do our rehearsal dinner instead. She was there for any questions I had and the forms she had us fill out were super detailed! It really helped getting our thoughts together and deciding what was most important for our wedding. The day before the wedding, she vibed so well with everyone at the rehearsal dinner. She even got perfect photos of our dogs, who are honestly like our children. The day of the wedding, Annie and her second photographer (who I’ve completely blanked on the name, my fault for taking so long to write a review!) were amazing. Every single one of our friends had compliments for them and just LOVED their energy. Annie kept me calm and collected while the second was fully invested in my husband. I don’t think the wedding would have gone as smoothly without those two. The photos I received back? Better than I could ever dream of. Truly. They got beautiful shots of my grandparents dancing, my dad talking to one of his nephews, his mom talking with his brother. Just candid shots that looked real and natural. I am unbelievably so happy with Annie and the work she put in for us. Photographs are one of the most important things for me at our wedding and she truly blew it out of the park.We thank her for all her work from the bottom of our hearts and will always cherish the memories she gave us.

Ruby and Nicole were the absolute best. Ruby kept things on track and smooth during wedding planning. She asked us questions we hadn't even thought about, helped us craft a perfect tent design, coordinated with other vendors, and she was always quick to respond to all of my random questions. But where Ruby and Nicole really knocked it out of the park was on our wedding day. They did everything from setting up tables beautifully, pinning groomsmen's boutonnieres, acting as an amazing MC, and keeping the timeline moving without making anything feel too structured. Our wedding day felt so organic and effortless, but the truth is that's all because of Ruby's and Nicole's hard work. A lot of Red Canyon's reviews say this, but I feel the same -- hiring Red Canyon was the best investment for our wedding day, and it will be for yours, too!

We used Destiny and her team as our coordinator for our wedding in August and we are so glad we did!! I literally cannot say enough nice things about Destiny - she’s extremely organized, reliable, detail oriented, and always made us feel like everything was under control and we didn’t need to worry. She went above and beyond leading up to our day, always checking up on me and willing to help where she could. Her enthusiasm and positivity made the difficult times of wedding planning feel way less stressful. When we had difficulties with a vendor just days before the wedding, she totally put my mind at ease and told me she’d work everything out — and she did! On our wedding day she was equally reliable and amazing and the whole day went really smoothly and we got to enjoy it without worrying and everything looked beautiful. I literally can’t imagine what our wedding day would’ve been like without Destiny, and I completely recommend her to anyone who wants to hire a coordinator that they can trust to think of every detail and make everything happen just the way you’d want it!!

Alissa and her Sweet Bliss team were wonderful! At my wedding we used their photography, videography, and planning services.

Jennifer is not only the kindest human I’ve ever met- but her passion, hard work and dedication shows. She not only helped me feel even more beautiful on the day of my wedding but also after in her pictures and my video?! I still cry watching it. Picking a photographer and videographer was honestly one of the scariest things during my wedding planning process because I went into a spiral of bad experiences on social media and I went with someone I didn’t have a personal review from and I’m beyond glad I took a chance on her. The communication? The energy? The everything. I can’t stress how amazing Jennifer is! Plus cost was beyond affordable. Thank you Jennifer! For capturing my magical dream come true!

My photography journey began with a simple love for people and their stories. Over the past five years, I’ve had the privilege of working with some of the most incredible couples, and preserving their most treasured memories.

Awarded Best of Zola
When my wife and I found Molly’s name and examples of her work online amongst other photographers in our area, something special about her style and her eye really caught our attention. Little did we know at that time how wonderful of a person she was as well. We first asked Molly to help us shoot an intimate elopement in a local park and were blown away by her ability to capture the whole afternoon so well for us and how comfortable it was having her there. We didn’t think twice when it came to finding a photographer for a wedding reception/celebration one year later. We were thrilled to have her with us again and within days of the event, we were sent a beautifully organized series of albums full of wonderfully captured memories. All edited to perfection. We can’t thank Molly enough and will be hiring her for events as long as she’ll stick around!

As a wedding planner, it is super important to work with other vendors that will enhance your couple's special day. A photographer is especially important because after the big day is said and done, all you are left with are your photos. As a vendor, Joe and Kaylyn were amazing to work with. They captured so many special moments that I know Ryan and Karin will cherish forever. Joe and Kaylyn shared a stunning sneak peak with the vendors not long after the wedding. This is so appreciated because these images help other couples to see our work as a vendor. I highly recommend Shot by Seamless. Joe and Kaylyn are truly artists. You will not be disappointed with your photos!

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!

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!
