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!

Awarded Best of Zola
As a wedding officiant, I had the pleasure of meeting and working with King on a beach destination (the couple are Canadians) wedding. It was a crazy, blustery day on the beach but King was a total pro, taking time before the ceremony, to go over my normal movements and special moments that the couple had planned. Afterwards, he even prepared - less than a week later - a small gallery of ceremony moments just for me, emailing me a link and permission to use. The photos were fabulous! I had taken a few with my iPhone - and while I knew his would be better, his totally blew me away. I can't wait to work with Journeys Photography 941 again!

Hi! I’m photographer with a strong passion for documenting love stories. I believe in allowing the natural flow and emotions ofthe day unfold on its own; capturing real unscripted moments thatcelebrate the beauty of each couple's unique love story. My ability toblend into the background, while still effortlessly capturing everyimportant moment, ensures a genuine and organic representation ofyour wedding day.I fell in love with the artistic charm of film photography that bringsa unique and nostalgic quality to your photos. And by combining that with digital imagery, I create a collection of photographs that are both captivating and timeless.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiba removed any stress I had about photos as a nervous bride who did not feel confident or comfortable being in front of a camera all day. She spent time getting to know us and made sure we were able to capture amazing, memorable photos, without losing sight of the actual point of the day and party we were there to enjoy. Multiple times she seamlessly adapted our shot plan on-the-fly to let us have more time to be with guests or have a moment to ourselves when she sensed we needed it. ALSO she was a baby whisperer with our flower girl and turned frowns into smiles and I'm still not sure how she did that. Highly recommend Hiba!

Sydney was beyond excellent! She helped my husband and I pose, directed us on which shots would look best and did a great job keeping us on track for our timeline! She captured the moments where true emotion showed through and was able to get my sneak peak pictures to me within a couple days. Which I know was difficult with how much goes into editing, so that alone speaks to her work ethic not behind the camera! I have so many wonderful things to say about her I’m not sure it will all fit! She’s overall an easy going person to get along with and had a great time with us, we are even looking into doing another shoot with her in the future! Overall 100/10 book her if you haven’t already!

Photography truly has a full grip on my soul– I love EVERYTHING about capturing special moments to be forever held in time! I consider my style to be way more candid, as I truly adore capturing an authentic experience that is almost tangible to the person viewing the photo.

I love realness of a perfect candid shot…my goal—especially with couples—is to get to the heart of their connection and connect with my couples, as well, to truly make them feel comfortable in front of the lens so that we can get to those authentic magic shots!

Their communication throughout the planning process was fantastic - they consistently kept us updated on travel plans and made sure we were all on the same page regarding the photography timeline. Most importantly, the quality of their work is stunning. We recently received a preview of some of our photos and were brought to tears by the beautiful images capturing our special day. Shannon and Ally have a true talent for capturing emotional moments without ever getting in the way. They were the hardest working team at our venue, going above and beyond to get every possible shot we could have imagined. We felt so comfortable with them that they even grabbed some extra candids of our wedding party that we had asked for with no issues.

With Kaity Campbell Events, you will have a truly luxurious customer experience from the moment you sign your contract all the way up to your event day, and even beyond. We believe that every wedding should be a reflection of your unique love story, and we are here to ensure that every detail is perfectly tailored to your desires. Our passion for creating unforgettable experiences, combined with our industry expertise, allows us to curate a seamless and stress-free wedding day that exceeds your expectations. Being able to create an event that is truly yours, and has all the elements you care about, is why I started doing what I do.

Kaity did a great job, especially considering all the uncertainty of bad weather (my ceremony was outdoors) we had to all deal with. She always had an upbeat and positive attitude the whole time, which I know can be very difficult to do around my family. She definitely would just roll with all the punches to keep us on track. I was anxious the entire day, but Kaity reassured me that she had everything under control and I knew I could trust her. She even went out of her way to get me and my husband little care packages on the day of, with inspiring notes. The only hiccups I actually noticed was with announcements and speeches, because the volume and echo was not great, so people didn't know when things were actually happening, so I wish we could've told the DJ sooner to fix the issue. We had also wanted to have our dinners boxed up, because my husband and I were both too anxious and excited to really eat, so our food ended up being thrown away, plus we didn't receive the top tier of our wedding cake to save for the tradition thing (but my guess is because they served it all to the guests). Unfortunately, at the end of the night, we were super rushed to get everything out of the building, because of the time and the pouring rain- I was running around barefoot in my dress while my husband was passed out in the car, and I was one of the few trying to get everything packed and cleaned up. However, Kaity and her husband really helped us out by collecting all the left items and holding onto them for us until the next day. She kept in contact, since at least a month beforehand, to make sure we had everything in order and sent her all the vendor contacts , so she could be included with all the day-of plans. She really did go above and beyond to make sure I had the best day possible, and I really appreciated that from her. I would definitely hire her again.

Konrad did the photography for our very tiny wedding in Brooklyn, including portrait and event photos. The photos came out beautifully and really captured the evening. Even more importantly, Konrad was a complete pleasure to work with. Our parents commented that it was a relief to have such a seamless photography experience; he never pulled people away from the event or inserted himself into what was going on, just blended into the scene, documenting everything. Our portrait session before the wedding was also lots of fun, and Konrad helped us ease into the experience of having our photos taken, with beautiful results.

I bought my first DSLR camera in 2004 when my now wife, Tracey, and I were taking a cruise to Alaska. For a monumental trip like this, I HAD to get an amazing camera. Those 8.2 megapixels with nine four points had me in LOVE. Ever since then, the ability of a photograph to be able to freeze time; freeze an emotion; freeze a memory has kept me addicted. Whether it’s getting a great angle, finding light that tells the story, or capturing the true personality of someone; it all brings a smile to my face and hopefully yours!

Chris made the entire process so easy for us. We are not big on posing for pictures, we both would much rather enjoy the moment and be with people we love and from the very beginning Chris was great at helping us to achieve this. We officially met Chris about a year out from our wedding at our engagement session and we had the best time and the pictures were incredible. He guided us through the next steps with the wedding and prepped us for everything. I am not much of a planner so this was so appreciated. Our wedding day went so so smoothly and the pictures just helped recapture the love and fun we felt that day. We couldn't be more grateful to him for catching all of these moments so we can feel the same way we did on our wedding day everytime we look at them.

Working with Martin from start to finish was an absolute dream. He was very professional, communication was excellent, and he always found time to chat with us if we had any questions we wanted to talk through. We had big dreams of doing our first looks at Grand Central, and considering our wedding/prep was in Brooklyn, this was definitely not going to be an easy feat to squeeze in with the travel time. But Martin helped us make the timeline, and although we ended up falling behind schedule, still managed to get us there with the most amazing photos and videos. He and Kero are literally the coolest people we've ever met, and they made a full day of posing and smiling so much more fun and lighthearted. And everything we did was all part of such a smart plan - there were some poses/shots that in the moment we thought felt odd, but looking back at the final edits it all came together. Their team works on other projects outside of weddings, and you can really see their artistry come through in the finished products. Our wedding photos are beautifully edited, and really captured all the most important aspects of the day. And the candid shots we got from our reception truly convey the energy and excitement of the night. The videos are exceptional. From each new snippet that got released on social media, to the final products of our 10 minute highlight reel and full documentary, we can look back on our wedding and feel like we're watching a movie trailer or a music video. The way the clips were synced with the music was so magical, and it all just flowed in a way that makes so much sense. I would 1000% recommend Making Lab to anyone who is looking for both photography & videography for any event.

After becoming a stay at home mom in 2015 and running an in-home daycare for nearly six years, I decided to start OSP in 2022 with the intent of creating a hobby for myself. I have since discovered that it is much more than a hobby, it's a passion. I love meeting new people and providing them with photos that they can love and enjoy for a lifetime, just as I've loved capturing them.

Brandi made us so comfortable. We are awkward and goofy and just wanted to have fun and capture our love. She captured it perfectly. Our pictures tell our story, they turned out gorgeous. I love them all. Turn around time was fast and she was a joy to work with and kept us laughing. Thank you! Looking forward to working with you again!

I consider my style to be on the photojournalistic side, documenting moments as they naturally happen but also helping to set the scene for the moments that matter most. But I'm not just here to click a camera; I'm your visual storyteller, weaving the narrative of your love into each frame. You can think of me as your co-pilot to navigating the whirlwind of your wedding day. Together, we’ll craft a seamless timeline, embrace the unexpected moments, and handle anything the day throws our way. I’ll capture every smile shared, heartfelt tear shed, and dance move busted along the way so you can focus on enjoying the magic of your special day!

Aireal is an absolute gem! From the moment we connected with her, we knew we had found the perfect wedding photographer for us. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she also made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera (which isn’t easy!). She captured every moment perfectly—both the big, emotional ones and the sweet little candid moments we didn’t even realize were happening. Her attention to detail is amazing, and she has such a creative eye. Our photos are absolutely stunning, and we’ve received so many compliments from family and friends. What we appreciated the most was how personal and invested Aireal was throughout the entire process. She genuinely cared about making us feel comfortable and our day special and worked seamlessly with our other vendors to keep everything on track. Plus, her energy and enthusiasm were so contagious throughout the day! If you’re looking for a photographer who goes above and beyond to capture your love story, Aireal is your girl. We’re so grateful we found her and will treasure our photos forever!

I'm Cassie, I am a photographer based just north of Atlanta Georgia. While I absolutely love serving the local couples, I travel too! I enjoy being a part of the biggest day of many peoples lives and I LIVE for watching it unfold and capturing what happens.

Awarded Best of Zola
I've worked with Cassie both as a model and makeup artist, and she's SO fantastic. She's great at coaching you through a photo session and ensuring the photos show your best possible angles. I'm a plus sized person and I can't tell you how difficult it is to find someone who knows how to photograph plus sizes and won't alter your figure in editing. She's truly a joy to work with and I couldn't ask for a more personable and professional collaborator.

Heavenly Spirits Bartending

We are an all inclusive luxury mobile bartending service specializing in custom created cocktails & mocktails. We use fresh fruits and herbs to make our homemade syrups and purées for our drinks and top them with premium garnish for visually stunning as well as delicious drinks. Our clients tell us we are the highlight of their event and their guests rave about our amazing drinks and high quality service. Our all inclusive service includes everything needed for bartending service but the alcohol plus we offer add on services. We pride ourselves in providing top quality, professional service and making sure our clients are happy & stress free.

As a venue owner/operator, I have occasion to work with many event vendors. Rarely am I so impressed with a company as I was with Heavenly Spirits. They were set up and ready to serve well in advance of the start of the event. The set up was lovely and coordinated well with the theme of the event. The bar operated with an efficiency that kept the wait for a drink to a minimum. At the conclusion of the event, the team left the service area clean and they checked in with me before departing the venue. I HIGHLY recommend Heavenly Spirts and have happily added the company to our venue’s preferred vendor list!

Hi! We are Jonathan & Emma Cunanan. Our whole story is centered on spontaneity & romance. We met, became best friends, & within a month we fell in love & by that October we were married. We are in love with love, & our business is founded upon that- making sure your day is celebrated with joy & completeness. We want to capture your moment right where you want it so you never have to forget what a moment felt like. Weddings are a core memory, & you should never have to compromise exquisite memories. That’s what we’re here for. We would LOVE to tell your story for you.

I am so happy we used this wonderful and talented team to take photos for our 15th wedding anniversary. We did not have real wedding photos, and I've always dreamed of having a picture-perfect portrait of my husband and I to put on the wall. The Cunanans directed our poses, used different angles, and got so many wonderful shots. I'm so pleased!

Him & Her Photography

We have been friends since 2006, married since 2008, and capturing memories through photography since 2010. The years of experience in all three make us uniquely qualified to tell your budding love story. If the years have taught us anything, its that fulfilling, long-lasting marriages have a foundation of friendship, and are built with joy - and perhaps quite a few carbs! We strive to help you feel confident during your big day, and not awkward or stressed - so you can look back on joyful memories that tell your love story.

We had the most amazing experience with Him & Her Photography! Josh and Alisha did both our engagement and wedding photography and went above and beyond from the very beginning. They were so fun to work with and on the wedding day, provided great support for timeline and guidance. They even had our sneak peek pictures ready DURING our reception for guests to view— which both we & the guests were in awe of. I can’t recommend them enough!

We’re Anton & Natalie - your new adventure buddies! On our first date we spent the day doing what we love most, getting outside. That’s also how we spent our wedding day, and most other significant, life-altering moments in our relationship. We fundamentally believe that the best day of your life should be spent doing what makes your heart sing. You’re not here because you don’t care about your day, you’re here because you care more. You don’t want the ordinary and traditional. You want care more about experiences rather than material possessions. You want the authentic, intimate, and intentional day which focuses on YOU as a couple.

They are highly recommended to all. Great communication, Excellent customer service. Our 3rd time using this company because they do it all ha-ha and we appreciate their honesty and transparency. We do not regret the choice of booking them for our wedding. We love a great planning company that will not rip you off. You know exactly where every dime is going thanks to Amaka and her report sheet. They also do not charge you for every little add on like other planners do. Let’s also mention that they always work with our budget, but we usually end up tipping because they're just soo goood :-). One thing we really love, is having our own contracts for vendors. Vendors will send out contracts to Amaka, and she in return will send contracts to the vendors to sign on our behalf so it made us feel very comfortable with booking the recommended vendors. It keeps us safe from vendors that cancel last minute or show up late.

I am a caffeine addict who never sleeps. I love a good thunderstorm and playing Candy Crush for the brain breaks. I adore all kinds of dogs, but I have a special love for German Shepherds. My all-time favorite thing is to sit by the fire with a glass of good cabernet or watch the ocean waves hit the beach. I love to garden and to build things (but I let my husband to finish all my projects LOL). I enjoy good food and will likely refer to a stand up comedy routine at least once in a conversation. I am also a football mom, lacrosse mom and basketball mom. Wife to a very understanding husband and emotional support person for my big puppies.

I catered a wedding for which Silvia Gilbert was the wedding photographer. She communicated with everyone very clearly on timelines. She was very professional and efficient and made everyone feel at ease. I would gladly work with Silvia again.
