I am a wedding photographer here to freeze the day of your dreams in time. Whether it’s an intimate elopement by an alpine lake or an epic family affair, I’ve got you covered. That means capturing every little glance in-between moments, the magic in the details - big and small - and then wrapping it all up into a stunning portrait gallery you’ll pass down for generations. Consider me your honorary bridesmaid here to cheer you on, pull the pine needles out of your train… I’m wholly invested in you having the time of your life, and capturing it for you to relive time and time again. I can’t wait to start dreaming with you!

Makaila is an absolute star photographer! She was very communicative, very easy to work with, so much fun, and took amazing photos. We were so nervous, but after meeting Makaila for the first time it felt like we had found the perfect photographer. She asked all the rig questions to help us understand how everything would go and really had a sincere connection. Her work is unparalleled and we are so lucky to have worked with her. Her photos were exactly as we had pictured - the use of detail, action shots, sensual shots, thoughtful shots, and editing were very much on point. I can’t say enough how awesome she is as a human and her work will leave you breathless.

Tara Beth Photography is a place of inclusion, empathy, intimacy, and care. From the first email, I take care with my clients. Considering them all unique, and with that, their stories being unique. 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!

On the day of the wedding, they seamlessly captured all the special moments with a keen eye for detail, resulting in truly beautiful and couple-specific photographs.

We could tell from the start that Collin wanted to make sure to do everything possible to make our night what we wanted it to be and he succeeded!

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.

Katie works to take care of the details, allowing you to relax and focus on creating memories with your loved ones. Whether you are planning an intimate gathering or an extravagant affair, she can assist with weddings of all sizes.

We worked with Katie for our wedding and we could not recommend her enough. We were unsure about incorporating a coordinator in our budget and I’m so glad we did. My partner and I both said it was the best decision we made. Katie was always timely and reliable with communication. During our planning calls, she brought up things that I never would have thought of which helped our day run smoothly. She always had patience with my many questions. She helped us personalize our day to be representative of us as a couple, highlighting what was important to us. She helped with communication and follow up with vendors which alleviated some of the stress and “to do” items leading up to the wedding. Katie was incredibly helpful with running our rehearsal, ensuring that our family and friends knew what to do and had their questions answered as well. Our day ran so smoothly and I’m sure there was much Katie helped with behind the scenes that made that happen. She helped with set up and take down of decorations, always made sure we had a drink if we wanted one, and was the go-to person for everyone’s questions which took a lot of stress of off me and allowed us to enjoy our day.

Our wedding photos by From GA with Love are absolutely breathtaking. We had our ceremony overlooking a serene Swan Lake at sunset, and the way they captured the luxury and tranquility of that moment still takes my breath away. The shot of us holding hands on the elegant wooden bridge, with the golden light reflecting off the water, looks like it’s straight out of a fairytale. They didn’t just capture the ‘big moments’—the quiet glances, the subtle laughter, and the peaceful calm of our surroundings were all preserved so perfectly. We couldn’t be happier with how every detail was immortalized with such artistry and care. If you want photos that tell the real story of your day—and make it look like pure luxury—look no further!

Hey!! Congratulations and I'm so excited you're here! My name's Lissa (pronounced "Lyss-uh") and photographs are my jam! Also my jam? Bright colors, the lamest jokes, floral everything, weird history, and awesome ghost stories. I'm a total mother hen / perpetual big sister and I'm mom to Max, Henry, and Penelope. I love creating. I garden. I sew. I crochet. I design ridiculously cute tee shirts. But most of all? I freaking love creating photographs. A professional photographer since 2011 (eek!), my photographs are bright, happy, and totally meant to hit you in the feels. But most of all? They're a total party!

It was such a pleasure having Lissa as the photographer for our wedding. She has taken several photos for me and my family throughout the years, and each time the photos have always been exactly what we wanted. Her photos are vibrant, full of color, and full of feeling. Lissa was sure to respond quickly to contracts, questions, and provided information in a timely manner. She listened to our desires and concerns, and when needed she provided feedback that helped us feel more comfortable and excited to work with her. She is incredibly easy to work with her. She was flexible with any photo requests that came up in the moment, and she guided and directed us for other shots she felt would turn out well when we weren't sure what to do next. She was professional and courteous to all of our wedding guests and yet always made sure to prioritize our (the bride and groom) desires and time as opposed to the rest of our wedding party. She had a happy, yet focused disposition while working with us. That focus was evident in the BEAUTIFUL pictures she took. She perfectly captured our joy that day. Turnaround time was better than expected, and we couldn't be happier with the results. We have no regrets with our choice of wedding photographer. She's amazing!

For the latter, I create solo guitar arrangements of songs upon request, which maintains it's familiarity while adding a charming elegance. These arrangements are a huge hit with wedding couples! I'm honored to have won numerous "Best of" awards in the wedding industry. Planning & performing music for weddings is my passion and profession. Providing music for your big day is an extreme honor & privilege for me and an opportunity that I never take for granted. I cannot wait to talk more about the music for your big day!

There's something authentic, warm, and alive about acoustic finger style guitar. I'll never forget the first time I photographed a wedding where Jim played. His smile was as infectious as the music. Since then I've gotten to know more about Jim's solo guitar work as well as the Jasmine + Perona duo where he's accompanied by his (soon to be) wife on vocals. Give them an audition and bring some authenticity to your event.

Weddings can be overwhelming, but at April Hertz Coordination Services, we truly understand the stress that comes with planning and executing your special day. Our goal is to lighten your load, allowing you to fully focus on marrying the love of your life. Trust us to handle all the coordination and planning services, ensuring a seamless and unforgettable wedding experience for you.

April was FANTASTIC!! I was unsure whether or not I wanted a coordinator- I had a hard time “giving up” control of my big day. When I first spoke with April- I knew that she was THE ONE! Kind, patient, understanding, and also a little bit of a perfectionist. ;) I hired April as “Day of Coordinator” only. April took everything I gave her on my wedding day and ran with it. She took my planning binder and I said “Good Luck!” She made it all happen! She quickly and effortlessly made my dream wedding perfect. She helped with decor, setting up, getting my dress on, helping me use the bathroom, putting my shoes on… anything you could think of!! And the professionalism and kindness was next level! A few days/weeks later, my bridesmaids told me about little fires that April put out that I had no idea about- problems with the DJ, the groomsmen trying to get drunk before walking down the aisle (April stopped them), and our Happily Ever After sign that kept falling. She handled all of this without me even knowing! The best decision I made (besides who to marry) on the day of my wedding was hiring April!! You won’t regret it!!

Hi! Thanks for stopping by. My name is Tori Bennett and I am the owner of Lily in Bloom. I opened this business in the beginning of 2022 to support my growing family. I had just recently given birth to my daughter and I wanted to be able to stay home with her. So, I quit my job and opened a business working with something I absolutely love: FLOWERS! They can play such a key role and have so much impact in people’s most important days. I love that I have the opportunity to play a part in that!

As a bride I was so nervous to trust someone with the vision of my floral arrangement for my wedding BUT LET ME TELL YOU….TORI CRUSHED! She completely understood each detail, color scheme, and florals I was going for - I still get compliments on my arrangements to this day! She’s hits it out of the park every time - 100% in my book

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Chris photographed our wedding in October of 2021 and did an INCREDIBLE job. We started with an engagement shoot that was a great way to practice for our wedding day. We learned all of the popular poses so that on our actual wedding day we didn’t feel awkward posing. He was incredibly organized and thorough throughout the entire process and the results were perfect. The entire day was planned out and he photographed every shot we wanted. We also had a beautiful wedding video and I had special requests for the video that he easily accommodated! The entire day ran smoothly thanks to his organization. He was extremely professional but we also had SO much fun. I felt like I was with a friend throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Chris for any event.

My name is Abby, a Midwest based wedding + boudoir photographer who's really obsessed with her job. I've gotten to see how directly photos can impact people. As we grow up, we realize how priceless photos are and how quality pictures become prized possessions. It's a moment in time you can forever look back on. It's easy to take pictures, but it's hard to capture moments. I'll love making magic with you, because everyone has some magic in them that deserves to be celebrated.

Abby is simply incredible. She works hard to make all parties comfortable, heard and loved. She makes all special moments a little more special. The ability to capture any and all little moments of intimacy is a rare find and you will not be disappointed.

Hello, I’m so glad you’re here! My name is Will & capturing the humanity of moments is what fuels me. The hugs you can feel, the soft touches, the tears falling, the never ending smiles, the moments between mom & dad - those are the ones I want to capture! More of what it FEELS like not just what it looks like. Telling stories has always been my favorite, but words tend to get lost or forgotten so I tell them the best way I know how - through photographs!

Awarded Best of Zola
We reached out to Will at very short notice to photograph our impromptu Covid-19-impacted outdoor wedding. We got an almost immediate response. He was very cheerful and professional, and enjoyable to have around at the wedding ceremony. We were extremely happy with the results, too. Will managed to capture many sweet moments and details during our celebration, and the quality of the pictures was great. If we got married a second time, we would gladly hire him again!
