Hello. I'm Steven. Starting my photography as a hobby in 2014 and becoming a professional in 2017, I have serviced over 80 weddings at diverse locations in my career. Throughout 3 years of my profession, I have chosen the path of fine art photography, which embraces natural colors, rich content, and especially real-time emotions. Contrary to traditional documentary photographers, my goal is to capture every special moment of your wedding day by praising the beauty through lighting and composition.

Awarded Best of Zola
Steven was the photographer for my wedding last April. It was so easy working with him during the entire process. He would tell us what to do during our prewedding photoshoots, so we didn't have to worry about it. The photos came out exactly how we expected them to be. Steven is very nice, funny, and responsive. Whatever questions I had, I could just text, email, or call him. More importantly, he pays attention to DETAILS! A lot of times, he would help me or my wife to fix our hair, clothes, or anything else to help capture a perfect photo. On the wedding day, I had nothing to worry about because I trusted Steven completely. Overall, it was a great experience working with Steven. Both my wife and I are very happy that we chose him. I will easily recommend Steven to my friends and family.

Born out of 10 years in the wedding industry, Vine + Branch Events Co. was founded on the principals of intentional design and overall client connection and experience. We believe love is a marvelous thing and that every couple deserves to have someone as their rock through the planning process. We believe in custom design woven throughout your day that reflects the both of you as a couple. We believe in becoming planing BFFs so you can lean on us during the entire process, start to finish. Your love is unique, treasured and special - let's have your day reflect all you both are about!

Awarded Best of Zola
I have waited 2.5 years to write this review and could not be more thrilled with our decision to work with Vine and Branch! Tatiana was the best investment we made into our big day, not only was she our planner but our planning bff! When we switched our wedding from California to Italy she didn’t even hesitate and jumped right into helping us pick our venue, research vendors and manage the most insane logistics I’ve ever seen! Whenever I was stressed or overwhelmed with a situation she was already working on figuring out a solution with the vendor and was ready with plan B, C and D just in case. Whenever we faced a design dilemma I would text her with the preface of “okay this might sound crazy..,” and crazy enough she was always on the same page. She was also honest with me about changing direction with certain plans if she knew something else would work better. When you live in Pinterest like I do, it was important that I had someone who gave me honest opinions and made sure the design worked together seamlessly! I have heard so many horror stories from friends about their planners not taking their budget seriously but throughout our entire time working with Tatiana she never pushed us to pick a more expensive option or made us feel bad if we had to drop something off of an invoice. She was also upfront with us from day 1 about what it would cost to create our vision. Day of the wedding she was an absolute rock star! I’ve worked in the industry and have been in charge of running events so letting go of control is hard for me but she managed everything without a hitch and I was able to be so present knowing she had everything handled! Seeing the design we have been working on for 2 years was absolutely surreal! Everything was stunning and all of our guests absolutely raved about everything! I truly couldn’t have done this without Tatiana and I already miss all of our crazy conversations and shared Italy reels! Let’s do a reunion in Ravello, okay? Ciao for now! Megan and Conor

We had our wedding in Feb 2024 at Wedgewood San Clemente. If my husband and I could give the entire experience more than 5 stars, we would! Our guests raved about the beautiful venue and awesome staff/vendors. Special shoutout to Tito (our HERO on the wedding day/rehearsal), Sierra, DJ Sean, and of course the countless behind-the-scenes staff members that made the day possible. Planning process: Everyone we interacted with was extremely personable, understanding, and made you feel at ease. The people we worked with (mostly Sierra and Tito) were detail-oriented; they helped us remember the little details leading up to the day. Pricing was transparent. Wedgewood allowed us to customize as much or as little as we wanted; we never felt pressured or judged to remove/add customizations through the last meeting. The recommended vendors were also professional and great to work with. Day of the wedding: As mentioned above, Tito was the man (Wedgewood should give him a raise)! He helped with the rehearsal, setup, and went ABOVE AND BEYOND to ensure things went smoothly. The venue staff made sure my husband and I ate well, had drinks in our hands, etc and overall were having a good time. Our DJ that Wedgewood recommended (Sean) was extremely amazing to work with – he truly listened to our vision, from the planning process to the day-of, and kept the party going; our guests had a blast and loved Sean. I’d recommend requesting Sean if that’s an option. The food was great as well, our guests especially loved the salmon. If you are considering this venue for your wedding, definitely go for it. My husband and I had such a great experience, and are so incredibly grateful. Thank you!

We can't say enough good things about Rose Event Company! Planning a wedding is never easy, but doing it in just 4 months, from across the country, and in a remote area with limited vendors seemed impossible—until we found Ashley. She took our vision of an intimate elopement with our closest family and friends, and turned it into the weekend of our dreams, managing every detail with perfection and making the entire process stress-free. From the moment we first spoke, I knew that Ashley was everything I was looking for. She is professional, organized, and full of creative ideas. Despite the challenges of our location, she found the perfect vendors to bring our vision to life. She understood our style and preferences right away and worked tirelessly to ensure everything was just as we envisioned. Even with the distance, Ashley was always available, responsive, and kept us updated every step of the way. She organized all the activities for our wedding weekend, including putting together our guest welcome bags. The entire weekend was a like a dream. Every single detail was meticulously executed, and we received so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful and seamless everything was. We truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you're looking for someone who is not only incredibly talented but also kind, patient, and genuinely invested in making your day perfect, look no further than Ashley. She made what could have been a stressful and overwhelming process into something fun and memorable. Thank you, Ashley for making our dream wedding a reality!

Hi! My name is Sophia Gouirand and I currently live in Orange County. I have been baking ever since I was a little girl satisfying the sweet tooth of my family and friends. I always had a passion for baking, but catering for my friend’s baby shower made me realize I wanted to turn baking into more than just a hobby. Baking gave me the fulfillment I could not find elsewhere.

Awarded Best of Zola
I had worked with Sophia prior to my wedding for our secret couple's bachelorette (quarantine meant we threw ourselves a couple's getaway to celebrate), with that, I wanted "dirty" cookies that were still tasteful and cute. I found Sophia locally online and reached out about my vision. She was totally on board AND more importantly, got back to me quickly. She's s stellar communicator and a true visionary. Every time I have ordered from her since I am blown away with the creativity, the packaging and the FLAVOR. I have seen many pretty edibles in my day and they are not always delicious. Her consistency is incredible... time after time her cookies are thick and still soft. Sophia is a fan favorite in our home. For our wedding, she created an incredible cake that we had no idea was going to be themed to our day -- it was PERFECT. The cookies themed to us and our adventurers lifestyle turned out stellar. And she made other mini desserts like mason jar key lime pies that were to die for. I can't recommend Sophia more!!! In fact, I have an event in two months that she I will be contacting her about for some more EXCEPTIONAL COOKIES!!! Thank you, Sophia!

I have always loved story-telling. I loved writing stories as a kid (I even tried to get a book published at age 12) and I love writing my own D&D campaigns now. Through storytelling, I see the paths laid ahead for our heroes, and beautiful adventures that need to be documented. Through storytelling, I started to see the pictures. And from these pictures, I began to photograph. I am crazy passionate about your day. I want to help you capture those moments. I want you to have the most amazing time, and the happiest memories. I want you to have photos so good that you can’t wait to show it off to the people you know, and even those you don’t.

Cassy has photographed our engagement, wedding, graduation and maternity photos. This review is long overdue. She’s so communicative and professional. She’ll make you feel comfortable right away and knows her stuff. She takes beautiful photos. You won’t regret going with her for your photos for any occasion. She’s awesome and just a super nice person and wonderful photographer. For our wedding, she went above and beyond and got so many great photos. Do it, go book her now.

Hi I’m Abby! been told all my life that I have an artistic flair and a gift for creativity, but that’s not the only reason why I started my career in wedding photography. I’m the biggest romantic and feel things deeply — in my photography there’s no detail in your connection that goes unnoticed. The little winks and smirks that silently set your soul on fire, the quirks that stay hidden to everybody else but you, and the parts of them that somehow make you fall in love with them even more… They’re how I tell stories because I know that in time, those are the things you’ll cherish the most.

Abby made our day unforgettable. She had this ease about her that calmed me throughout the day. Anything I wanted to make sure we included she made it happen - even the smallest detail that I had forgotten about she remembered. She drove me up a mountain for first look photos. That right there is dedication. Not only was she supportive as a professional, it was great to have her there as a friend. I would recommend this amazing photographer to anyone. The quality of her work shows through her photos and her work ethic. She had sneak peak photos emailed to me the literal next day. Abby is an absolute wonder, and I will forever be grateful she was there to capture the most perfect moments of the most beautiful day. Thank you, Abby!

  • Serves Lake Forest, CA

My love for photography began as young as 12 but the passion came as soon as I welcomed my first son, Liam. Motherhood is a busy busy life and the camera keeps all the memories fresh. I love, love. Nothing makes me smile bigger than a surprise engagement, or the welcoming of a new baby. I really try to get to know my clients and visualize their lives before I even attempt to capture their story - because that story is what MAKES the shot!

We reached out to Karen for our wedding and we are so glad we did. Karen was super accommodating right from the start. We had a couple of songs that weren't in her usual set, and she went out of her way to arrange them for our day. It meant a lot to us to hear those special tunes played live. On the day of the wedding, Karen and her team's performance was fantastic. Her music set a great mood and many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed it. It was a perfect mix of songs that everyone could appreciate. What really stood out to us was how easy Karen was to work with and how she added a personal touch to our special day. It's not just her music that's great – her professionalism and willingness to go the extra mile made a big difference. If you're looking for musicians for your wedding or any event, I’d definitely recommend Karen Garrity Music. She did an amazing job for us and helped make our wedding day even more memorable.

Wow! What can we say about Brandi? Literally everything, because she was that amazing! We came all the way from South Carolina without seeing anything in person, and we put our full trust into Brandi and her team. They FULLY delivered. On our wedding day, countless guests approached us to praise her professionalism, kindness, efficiency, and quick thinking. And that was just the wedding day! We experienced her exceptional service every step of the way. Brandi always took the time to truly understand my husband and me. She fought battles for us that we didn’t even know existed! Reaching the month of the wedding without feeling stressed was something I never thought possible, but it was truly magical. On the day of the wedding, I was dancing, singing, and basking in the excitement of marrying my husband because Brandi took care of EVERYTHING! She even gave my Maid of Honor a walkie-talkie to ensure clear and concise communication. To any future Mr. & Mrs. who don’t know where to turn, Brandi is your go-to! We are so blessed to have had her as our wedding planner and are filled with immense gratitude for her!

"I am still in awe. 100/10 absolutely phenomenal. Thank you for above & beyond service. BOOK HIM you will not regret it." -Reese Free. As you compare performers, you likely wonder what makes one a better fit than another. Of course, musical skill is important. This is something I've developed in my 15 years of playing. But there's more than that—it's the ability to fit seamlessly with a DJ, to connect with vendors behind the scenes to minimize weight on your shoulders, to deliver your important songs in a way that accentuates the emotions of the moment. With Seps, you can expect a performance of a lifetime, with the easiest prep imaginable.

Seps was the BEST addition to our wedding we could have ever asked for! He brought the party and the energy and made it an unforgettable night. The number one thing guests talk to us about after the day! If you’re looking for a fun and unique touch to liven up the party, Seps is your guy! 10000/10!

We found GWM on Zola from the positive reviews and we couldn't be more happy we decided to work with them! The entire process was very simple and straightforward as portal they use is user friendly and organized. Day of the wedding we had Tasha and Erin, who were just absolutely fun to work and hang out with! They truly made the day so much more enjoyable. Weddings always have stressful moments and just their presence and talking with them was so calming for the both of us. There were some photos and videos that our guests captured that also included Tasha and Erin and you can tell Tasha and Erin were genuinely happy and having fun and it really shows in our photos. We received both our sneak peaks and final wedding album earlier than we expected and were blown away by our photos! The composition of very shot looks intentional and balanced while capturing so much emotion and movement. Going through our entire album truly feels like reliving every minute of our special day. The access to the online album is so easy to access, navigate, and download - huge plus!! It is also so organized and laid out beautifully. You won't regret booking with them!

Embrace U is on a mission to bring more confidence, joy, and ease to couples as they plan their wedding, and more presence and peace of mind on their wedding day. Our intention is three-fold: First, to empower people with the invaluable knowledge I have gained from years of working as a Venue Manager and Wedding Coordinator. Second, to guide and support couples with monthly action lists and goal-setting strategies. And third, to tangibly help organize and track the seemingly endless elements that make up a wedding. For those getting married in SoCal, we offer full support at the wedding so couples can relax and enjoy their big day.

Awarded Best of Zola
When I first reached out to the Embrace U team, I wasn't sure if I wanted to spend the funds on a day of coordinator. After a couple of conversations with Erin, I was convinced the Embrace U team was worth every penny. The team did not disappoint, my husband and I will be forever grateful. Erin's attention to detail and years of experience shined. She ensured she completely understood our vision and what was most important to us. Four weeks prior to our wedding date, Erin took over vendor communication and was our point of contact. This was such a stress relief. Erin also created a wedding day timeline, which is one of the reasons why we had such a successful wedding. All the vendors and our bridal party knew our plan and timeline the week before our wedding. I did make minor changes last minute but Erin helped communicate those to the vendors. Erin and her team were always near by but not in the way. Anytime I needed to ask or point out small things that came up, the Embrace U team was just a quick glance and nod away. At the end of our reception, Erin and her team ensured everything was neatly saved away and cleaned up. My husband, nor myself, nor my bridal party needed to worry about clean up. As a Bride, I fully enjoyed every moment of our wedding day. Looking back I didn't stress about any aspect of our day because I knew we had Erin and the Embrace U team. I am so glad we decided to hire the Embrace U team, they helped make our wedding vision a dream come true.

Hi there and welcome to Chasing Joy Creations! My name is Joey and I'm an Orange County Wedding Planner and Designer, serving Southern California. I offer 3 MAJOR services: design & decor, florals, and coordination, as well as several a la carte planning services. I can be your one stop shop and will save you so much time, stress, and money! My clients are like family to me and I truly pour my heart into each and every one. Giving BIG and creating unique WOW weddings is where my business shines. I've got you covered with ALL design styles. If extras, affordability, and one of a kind are your love language, you are in the right spot!

There are not enough words in the English dictionary to describe how wonderful Joey is. Not only is she the kindest woman you will ever meet, but you will never feel like "just another client" when you're with her. She listens to your individuality and embraces your ideas to create your own one-of-a-kind dream wedding. She takes the time and works hard in every single aspect of her craft -- it truly is amazing to have an artist that took the time to wrap 200 twinkle light strands with over 50 6 ft. fall leaf garlands and tie them up on the ceiling, all because I (the bride) wanted to feel like I was in an autumn rustic, twinkle light heaven. Hiring her is the best thing we did for our wedding. Not only did we have the wedding of our dreams, but we walked away with a lifelong friend. To hire Joey is to know your wedding or event will go off without a hitch. Trust me, just look at these photos!

My husband booked Hung for the surprise proposal and once we saw the photos we knew we want to book him for our wedding. Nothing short to our expectation, Hung show up an hour early to go over all the details of the day. Beside his works, he kept making sure I stay hydrated, relax calm and making sure I'm having fun and not to worry about other vendor showing up 5 mins late.
