Victoria.stylist 

5.0

  • Beauty professional
  • Starts at $200
  • Serves Long Island City, NY

As a bridal hairstylist, my approach is rooted in care, patience, and personalization. My goal is to enhance my brides’ natural beauty in a way that feels effortless and authentic. I focus on tailoring each detail to ensure they feel confident, radiant, and truly themselves on their special day. Seeing my brides light up when they see the final result is the most rewarding part of my work

Victoria did my hair for my best friend’s wedding and she nailed it! I have been in several weddings where I haven’t had a pleasant experience and didn’t feel heard by my stylist or the end result wasn’t what I had envisioned. Victoria was absolutely amazing as she listened to what I wanted, made sure I was comfortable, and was proactive in fixing parts of my hair to make them feel more like “me.” She empowered me by validating the changes I suggested and listened to me when I told her tips to work with my hair. Overall, I would absolutely have Victoria style my hair again!

  • Serves Long Island City, NY

My name is Elizabeth, I'm a Floral Designer and Illustrator based in NYC. Bess was founded after many late nights and early mornings spent creating floral designs influenced by my own art and a love for the natural environment that I cherish. I love to take an intuitive and creative approach with each event and couple I work with; learning each and every client's story and vision as as a basis for my creations, and then applying those special details into my designs. Bess embraces modern shapes balanced with subtle gestures, whimsical movement, and seasonality that help bring your vision to fruition.

I can't recommend Eliza and Bess flowers enough! She created my wedding bouquet over the summer for my destination wedding, and it was absolutely perfect. I provided her a general color scheme, and she worked her magic, picking the most beautiful flowers and everything complemented each other so well. She was so accommodating, even scheduling a convenient drop-off at my house before we headed out of town for the wedding, the flowers were packed to travel and made it to our destination fresh and intact. Eliza is the sweetest, most professional, and super easy to communicate with. 10/10 recommend Bess for any of your floral needs. Thank you thank you again, Eliza!

Hey hi, I am Vital (pronounced as Vee-tal), and I am your most chill wedding guest with a few cameras around my neck and a cheerful smile. I have been a wedding photographer since 2016, and every year I fall in love with my job more and more. My wife and I have a dog and a cat. We love to travel, eat good food and binge-watch good shows. I enjoy reading or listening to books, especially adventure novels and biographies. Alpine climbing, backpacking, and road-tripping are among my favorite activities too. There is more to my life story on my website :)

Vital was such a breath of fresh air on our wedding day. He made us, our loved ones, and the whole crowd feel comfortable, happy, calm, and understood. He took the time to hear about our vision a few times before the day-of and really really delivered in his final product. He brought our moments to life in such an artistic and beautiful way. I cannot imagine having a better experience. His professionalism, kindness, communication, and artistic strength are truly unmatched. Thank you forever Vital!

Love, Lucy Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Long Island City, NY

Two Upper West Siders. Twenty blocks apart. How had we not crossed paths before? Or did we? Well, after finally matching on Hinge we made that happen and the rest is history! We have combined families and now as a family of 7 (three dogs, two cats) we have become an unstoppable force. We both share the same passion for photography, capturing the beauty all around us and making magic happen. Our dog Lucy, embodies love, kindness and poise. We couldn’t imagine naming our business after anyone but her. That’s how Love, Lucy Photography came to be.

Bethany and Raquel are artists of the finest caliber and they will deliver above and beyond your expectations. I cannot stress this to you enough: Book them immediately! They excel at both pieces of the wedding photographer's role: the experience of having them photograph the event, and the photos they deliver at the end. On your wedding day: They of course will follow your requested shoot list, portraits of family, and whatever else you want to prioritize for your wedding day. *But the real magic they deliver is that everyone forgets they are there.* Your family doesn't feel like they're being stalked by paparazzi or in a never ending staged photo shoot. I don't know how they do it, they didn't meet anyone in my family before our wedding, but every photo they delivered was an authentic reflection of that person and the moment. Nothing felt strained, staged, or uncomfortable for the subjects. Several of my family members, including my husband, don't love being photographed, and they were both so sensitive to that without losing anything important. They melt into the background and capture the smallest, lovely moments you didn't even know were happening. When they deliver the photos: The story of our wedding was told brilliantly in the first set of preview photos, which they delivered very quickly after the wedding, and even more so when we saw the full set of photos and the album. They are very responsive and delivered the shots exactly on the promised timeline and of course answered every single question we could have had along the way. They also helped us create a timeline for the day which kept everything on track and as planned which helped keep my head on straight! They weave the narrative structure beautifully - the wedding album they delivered (after very politely waiting for a long time for me to mark my favorites) is truly a work of art. 10/10 recommend to a friend!

Hello! My name is Jeff Bien Aime I am the Founder and Lead Videographer of Flare Hill Productions. I fell in love with Wedding Filmmaking back in 2018 when I Filmed my 1st, Wedding. I remember feeling so excited but yet so nervous. After it was all I over and I delivered the Wedding Film to my client. They ended up loving it and recommending me to my next couple. Since then, I've dedicated myself and this company to creating and capturing timeless moments of our couple's special day. I realized that there's something magical about capturing the love and emotions of two people in a way that can be relived over and over again. ​

My husband and I chose videography at the last moment and we are so happy that we did. Jeffs response time was so quick before, during and after our wedding which was amazing when you need answers and feedback quickly. Jeff worked completely around our schedule and didn’t make us feel like our day was a “show” rather that he was there to document our day. He got all of the sentimental moments as well as the funny ones. He worked hard with family to recruit people to submit their messages. His assistant Christine was also very personable and did an amazing job always being right there but not intrusive. I am grateful that we chose Jeff and his team to document our day.

Anthony was the absolute best photographer for our wedding and he will be for your event as well. He arrived really early, accommodated our budget and was overall super professional. We spoke several times over the phone prior to the event so he could get a feel for exactly what we had in mind. He captured every moment exactly how we want it to be remembered. Anthony was super easy going but very hard working and managed to capture everything! The photos are super high quality (both in the moments he captured and the actual quality of the photos) and they were delivered to us in a timely fashion after the wedding. We can't recommend 1028 photography enough!!!

Zhane, my hairstylist, did a fantastic job! We started at 5 a.m. Yes, it was a morning wedding. Zhane was great. Starting so early in the morning, her energy and spirit helped to keep our energy up and rolling. She created a timeless, sleek bun. My hair is long, frizzy, wavey, and heavy, lasting until the next day. She listens to every detail and concern I have with my hair during the summer. She recommended getting Briogleo Don't Despair hair repair treatment months before the wedding to help control my frizz. It truly helped. I highly recommend her for any occasion.

NOTE: I'm now taking on ONLY elopements and microweddings. A little about me...I love color; maybe the purple hair tipped you off? I almost always have a bag of (biodegradable) confetti on me. You never know when you’ll need it! I have a cat named Icarus who has too many toes and likes to dress up like a lion. I used to work in publishing, where I was mostly getting romance novels published in other countries. I’m in a family band. And I can’t believe my job is to document wonderful, beautiful people and the most joyful moments of their lives.

Fig & Pig continues to be a creative, quality-driven catering company devoted to showcasing seasonal ingredients and producing exceptional, food-focused events. Our team of professionally-trained chefs cook with dedication and pride to create thoughtful meals that are both comforting and modern. We work closely with our clients to build curated menus and distinctive settings that reflect the personality and vision of their event. At Fig & Pig, the service is as important as the food. Our front of house team drives the success of each event and they take very seriously, the needs of our guests.

Cannot recommend Holly and Tammy from Fig and Pig enough. For starters food often is an after thought in weddings it’s like you need it but you don’t remember it. We wanted the food to be an experience for our guests and they did not disappoint. No matter what dish you got it was superb. They worked with us to make a special treat for the Cocktail hour and people are still coming to me weeks later saying how brilliant that was. They worked with my dietary restrictions and made the process seamless.

Me and my wife would definitely choose to work with Siobhan again in a heartbeat! Samantha- I would 100% recommend hiring Siobhan to photograph any event. From the moment I met Siobhan, I knew I wanted to hire her to photograph our wedding. I really loved how she would reach out to me through e-mail to check-in several times between the time that we hired her and our wedding date. Siobhan is very sweet and professional. She made our wedding day stress free since she provided us with a schedule/outline of our wedding day and she always kept ahead of the schedule to make sure we didn’t run late for our ceremony. She provided us sneak peek photos from our wedding within 24 hours. We received a beautiful glass usb with all of our photos a month after our wedding. My husband and I were amazed with how beautiful the pictures were. I will definitely be hiring Siobhan again for any event in the future.

I simplify the wedding planning process, ensuring every event exudes modernity, timeless luxury, and incredible detail while providing an iconic experience for everyone. I first fell in love with weddings when I watched The Wedding Planner as a child, and I've now been planning events for over a decade. I'm obsessed with the details and ensuring every event is as unique as its hosts.

Talk about making the impossible, possible! I had worked with MVW Events to plan a surprise engagement picnic for my then girlfriend, now wife. Around the time, I was wrapping up my graduate program and set to graduate the day after I planned on proposing. MVW helped me set the vision for the picnic and coordinated sourcing vendors for the right deals on items that would make the moment extra special. With all the details in place, I was confident in what we had planned and was actually less nervous about the whole bended knee thing because of it. Fast forward to the day of and guess what ... It RAINED!! so the park area I had in mind did not allow folks on the grass after fresh rain so we had to change plans on the fly. Morgan and her super creative brain proposed she and her team set up everything in my apartment instead. That way we could have everything we needed for the occasion within arms reach. She even secretly met me while I was out with my partner at a school event to grab my apartment keys and head over to set everything up while I was out. When we got home, when I say the place looked like MAGIC!! We were both blown away (but of course I had an idea of what to expect). And of course, it went perfectly from there. We are now coming on a year happily married and I would not have had the confidence to execute such a plan on my own. THANK YOU Morgan & Team!! 10/10 Recommend!

We went out to Robert Moses beach to shoot our engagement shot, it was easy to meet up and communicate with him. He was very professional, and it was a breeze to do business. The contract signing went without a hitch. Ive posted our engagement shoot photos so you can get a good idea of the quality.

Our style is artistic and documentary, and can be described in three words; Sincere, Scenic, and Inspirational. Sincere, we will never ask you to act unnaturally in front of our camera; we will adjust to your personalities and photograph you as you are. Scenic, because we love beautiful landscapes and love to incorporate everyone in such environments. Inspirational, because there is always a new way or a new idea to capture a photo but in the end it's capturing that special moment.

Sam was super talented and professional and made our day special by keeping everything organized and timely to make sure it didn’t impact our schedule. His artistic taste helped create great photos and poses. Definitely booking him again for our next special event

Hi! I'm Emily! Mom to 3 kids, two rats named Frodo and Sam and a bearded dragon. I like my couples like I like my pets - just slightly unconventional. Dress fluffer, timeline-keeper, family wrangler, prone to squealing over a perfect ray of sunshine- I'll dance with your grandma, cry during your vows, and make you laugh at inappropriate moments. You're a badass and deserve the space to express yourself and your love EXACTLY as you are, no holds barred. Say goodbye to not knowing what to do with your hands, fake smiles in photos, and stiff posing that *just doesn't feel like you*. LGBTQIA+ and looking for a safe vendor? I gotchu!

My husband and I reached out to Emily after we found out my step-dad had a brain tumor. Emily met us with grace, understood the importance of the small moments, and captured our day in the most amazing photos! She let us be ourselves (goofballs) while also giving us much needed direction to achieve authentic photos of us that are STUNNING! On a scale of 1-10, Emily is an 11! We highly recommend using her artistic vision for your family photos, engagement pictures, and/or wedding pictures!

Hi there! I'm Sam, a laid-back, down to earth gal! My love for photography started at a very young age. I thrive off of connecting with amazing people and creating beautiful visual art. I'm a 'go with the flow', free-spirited human. I am based in San Diego but travel all over the USA and world to capture stunning weddings. Travel is encouraged! I love visiting Miami, New York, Chicago, Las Vegas, San Fransisco, and other major cities in America. So excited to connect with you and create some stunning photographs that will last a lifetime!

Sam was one of the first vendors that we booked, and from the intro call, Sam was so kind and communicative with all of our questions. She walked us through her process, editing style and expectations from her, and answered all of our questions no problem. She made it easy to book and was so excited to work with us as well. From there she was happy to answer any of our questions and touched base with us leading up to the event till the day of. She showed up very professional but was still her kind self and didn’t hesitate to step up to help us find the best shots for bridal portraits, first looks, and more. She had no problem wrangling our families for photos, and blended in so well in some instances to get the shot. She helped us get photos with every single person at our wedding, and even led the line dances for our guests. Then when it came time to get our photos back, I was BLOWN AWAY by her editing style and hand picked photos to send back to us. You can tell that she is passionate about all of her work from being behind the camera to editing. She went above and beyond her contract and duties, and truly was so instrumental to capturing our day for us, as every time I look at our photos, I feel the emotion she captured from them. Sam is an absolute must for photography and editing!

Absolutely loved using Alinato events for our wedding planning. They kept us really organized and took a lot of the stress away for every single item honestly. All of the vendors were spectacular and our wedding design was something I didn’t even know we could’ve afforded let alone do. I’ve never been more happy with a service. She truly didn’t let us miss a beat. Staying on top of us even when we were being delinquent with our emails (lol).

I'm Daisy (also known as the 3 styled Photog) Passionate; Expressive; Devout. Photography is something that I stumbled upon 8 years ago and instantly fell in love with. I am fortunate enough that I have found joy in capturing the art amidst peoples' lives and places around the world. I was born in France, spent my childhood in Cameroon, West Africa and moved to the USA 25 years ago. My foreign experiences, footwork and training has allowed me to become an avid photography world traveler. My personal favorite focus is Wedding Photography and specifically shooting in three distinct styles (Light and Airy, Moody, and in Vibrant Colors).

They were excellent for the birthday photo shoot I hired them for. Without a doubt, I will use them again in the future.

I photograph love because I believe in it. I don’t believe in it in the way that a little girl believes in ferries or unicorns, a hopeful “I think it is real” kind of a belief, I believe in its power. I believe that love is the most important emotion we will feel in this lifetime and I believe it has the greatest ability for good. I believe that each human on this earth should have the opportunity to feel deeply loved and to love another deeply themselves. I believe that love is something that should be treasured, cared for, and celebrated.

Awarded Best of Zola
Allison was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is professional, talented, and passionate about her work. She made our day significantly less stressful by being organized and efficient. She has the most inviting personality, and we warmed up to her so quickly I felt like she was just another friend hanging out with the bridal party while she was taking my getting-ready photos. Last, but not least, our wedding photos are absolutely stunning and something we will always treasure. I could really go on and on, but all you need to know is you will not regret booking her!

We are completely foam free, use as many local flowers as possible and constantly looking for more sustainable practices we can bring into our business.

We were so lucky to have someone recommend Lilysh to us for our wedding florals in the Catskills. Although I had a vision for what I wanted the flowers to look like, I am certainly not a flower connoisseur, so wanted to find a professional who I could trust to understand and execute my vision and Liliya was the perfect person to do just that. Her timing and communications were perfect, Including plenty of mockups and vision boards during our preliminary meetings, and continued conversations leading up to the big day. Plus - I love that she works with in season/local blooms, in addition to other sustainability efforts. Photo Credit: The Lovewigs

My name is Andrea Guillen, and I am the Founder and Artist at APG Beauty. ​ A little about me... I'm a Girl Mom, Wifey, Artist & and Entrepreneur. ​ I said goodbye to the corporate world and hello to Boss Lady! ​ I have been in the beauty industry for over 15 years and have done it all. I am a licensed cosmetologist, trained at Joe Blasco Makeup School, a permanent makeup artist, and have my degree in International Business from the University of Florida.

Andrea and her team had my bridesmaids, grooms mom, my mom and myself all looking FLAWLESS. I had multiple people at my wedding tell me that our hair and makeup were the best they have seen at a wedding. The morning of my wedding her team was not just on time but EARLY and came fully prepared to glam all 8 of my girls to be sure we were all done in time as I had a strict wedding timeline with no wiggle room. If I could give them 10 stars I would. Hair and makeup plays such a big role in your special day and when you look your best you feel your best. I highly recommend APG Beauty, you will not great it.

Margo Sees Stars

  • Serves Long Island City, NY

Hi! I’m Julia, middle name Margo, a film school dropout and music buff who wants to make your wedding look like art. I'm here to represent diversity in the couples I work with and weddings I shoot (love is love), to give you something hyper-shareable that will instantly transport you in space and time for the rest of your lives, and to make you cry upon watching. The crying is very important. Bear with me on this analogy, but basically I like my wedding films like I like my salads: raw, organic, a little bit of quirk and flare, and consumed alongside great music. If this sound pretty good to you, have a look at my work and get in touch!

Awarded Best of Zola
If you want your wedding day to be captured like an art piece, like an actual movie or magical music video, hire Julia. I cannot recommend Margo Sees Stars enough! I knew I wanted a video of our big day because A) my memory (for the little details) sucks and B) I knew seeing the movement and all the sweet in-between moments in live footage would be so much more meaningful to me than just still photography. But I also am not drawn to super traditional sappy wedding video treatments. Julia took it to another level. I don't remember how I found her but she was the first vendor I booked and it was an A move and worth absolutely every penny. I fell in love with her Wes Anderson style, her eye for minimalism and fun candid moments, her editing and music choices. I felt such joy watching her videos of other peoples weddings, I couldn't imagine how good I would feel watching my own in her beautifully unique film style. Cut to my wedding day, not that this is totally mandatory but she was a complete fly on the wall. Obviously I was a bit preoccupied but I barely remember seeing her there, to the point that later on I was worried she may not have captured enough of the day because WHERE WAS SHE?! But she caught EVERY moment. Moments I was too anxious to pay attention to, or wasn't present for, or was having too much fun to remember. But I'm SO happy to be able to see them in the final video. It was 100x more than I dreamed of. Myself, my husband, our families, we all wept watching it. The music was so perfectly edited to the shots. Honestly I was anxious to pick a song without seeing the footage so I just gave her a few songs and bands I liked and the general vibe I wanted, and she completely NAILED it. She was also hugely accommodating to my editing process (I'm also a creative so I was a bit nit picky), and super communicative along the way when needed. But there was barely any need for it. You just let her do her thing and she makes absolute artistic magic. Not to mention she sends you the raw footage in an adorable package filled with Hershey's kisses and a camera-shaped USB key. I loved my wedding day but the moments are so fleeting, it goes by so quickly and then its gone forever, and it's lovely to have photographs of the day, but I'm telling you, having such a uniquely beautiful video art piece to watch when you want to smile really hits different. GO HIRE MARGO SEES STARS!

Our goal is to make you look and feel like the celebrity version of yourself while offering a pampering and stress-free getting ready experience.

Genie artistry was absolutely incredible for my wedding. We were a big group, 12 for makeup and 10 for hair. They finished us early, had time for touch ups and nothing about it felt rushed. The morning moved seamlessly and smoothly. Jeanine and her team are one of the best. I also had an extremely diverse bridal party and they were able to accommodate that and work on everyone. They truly highlighted everyone’s best features and each girl came out stunning. With 3 make up artists and 2 hair stylists you may worry about consistency but each member of the team is so talented, you cannot even tell who did which girl. We started at about 9am and by 6pm for the ceremony everyone’s hair and makeup was perfectly in tact. This is a rare team who can deliver excellence on 12 different girls in a 5 hour period. I would seriously consider them for your wedding/bridal shower or event.

Ryan and Heidi are GEMS! We are so thankful we hired them for our wedding. I was actually sad when I had to say bye to them at the end of the night! They made the whole experience personal and fun. We just received a preview of our photos and we could not be happier with the results. All our friends and family were talking about how incredible our photographers were all day. We had 18 people in our wedding party, which is a lot of people to manage for group pictures. There was never a point where photos felt difficult or forced. It was like they were a part of our wedding party crew just enjoying the day with us. My husband and I are not extremely comfortable getting pictures taken, so we were a little nervous to have photographers following us around all day. The whole day felt natural and all of the photos captured real moments rather than posed or staged moments. They were genuine, accommodating, thoughtful, creative, and warm - basically every quality you could want in someone who is with you by your side throughout your entire wedding day. HIRE THEM NOW.

Absolutely thrilled with our experience with Purslane! From start to finish, they went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect. The Prospect Park Boathouse venue itself is nothing short of spectacular—a beautiful historic building in the heart of Brooklyn. The architecture alone made for the most stunning backdrop for our ceremony and reception. Beyond the beauty of the space, the service was truly top notch. The team was incredibly attentive, professional, and made us feel like our event was their top priority. From the planning stages through to the last dance, they were organized, seamless, and took care of every detail, allowing us to relax and enjoy our day. And of course, the food was outstanding! We received so many compliments from our guests about how delicious everything was. Every dish was beautifully presented, and we loved how they incorporated local, seasonal ingredients. Whether it was the passed hors d’oeuvres, the plated dinner, or the dessert table, everything was a hit.
