Since inception we have won Best of Westchester 2020 for weddings and numerous other industry awards. We take a modern approach to photography.

Hello there! I'm Andrea, owner of Amative Creative, and every weekend we're so blessed to be able to tell the love stories of so many amazing couples. Like many others in this industry might say, we simply adore weddings. But what makes us a little different is our entire brand is centered around telling love stories specifically curated to reflect your vision and aesthetic. "Amative" means to be prone to love, so as you can see, we want nothing more than to tell your love story! But what makes us truly unique is that we understand every love story looks different. And we personalize every aspect of how we document your wedding day!

Awarded Best of Zola
From our initial call with Andrea, we knew she and her team would be an amazing asset to our big day. Words cannot begin to describe how Amative Creative exceeded our expectations! From the moment Andrea and the team arrived, it was like a long lost sister/friend/aunt/hypesuperwoman blew through the door. They were everywhere and all over, and yet not visible in the way you've seen *those* photographers & videographers at events. AND THE SNEAK PEAK ALBUM.... WOW!!!! A little over three months into our marriage and we STILL rave about how extraordinary Amative Creative captured our event, and we cannot wait to see the rest!

Hello! I'm Haley Andringa and I'm the founder of this freelance traveling makeup artist business. I started Hailstorm Studios Makeup Artistry at age of 16, and I've since dedicated my life to providing exceptional wedding services to brides across the country. We travel anywhere from Washington to New York, offering one-on-one consultations prior to booking which allows us to work closely with our our bride's to make everything as personalized and comfortable as possible. We provide on-site services to make life that much easier for the big day, as well as bring everything you will need to make your prep hours that much more enjoyable!

Awarded Best of Zola
I’ve now had the pleasure of working with Haley twice, because I just couldn’t get enough after she did my wedding makeup. For my wedding, Haley did a trial run on my makeup where she took the Pinterest photos I had liked and tried them out on me. When I didn’t love the first edition, she listened to my random non-educated makeup thoughts and gave me exactly what I wanted! On my actual wedding day, she was prompt, and such a calming presence. She asked if I wanted some music and she played it while encouraging me for the day ahead, and giving me some space and silence when I needed that too. I absolutely LOVED my final look and working with Haley was a dream. When my sister in law got engaged a few months later, I was quick to recommend Haley for her wedding makeup. She hired her, which meant I got have Haley do my makeup again as I was a bridesmaid in that wedding. Once again, she hopped right in and gave me the look that I asked for with her usual fun and calming presence. I couldn’t recommend her more and am so grateful that I’ve had the pleasure of working with her twice and recommending her to others!

Earth Tones

Philadelphia, PA
  • Beauty professional
  • Team of 4
  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Merrick, NY

Earth Tones hair and makeup artistry was founded by EvaMarie. Quirky and adventurous, she creates a warm, professional and organized environment for her clients. Your wedding day is about you and she aims to stay focused on the task and create a place of peace before the festivities begin. Her experience is diverse and well rounded. EvaMarie has worked on the runway in New York with top designers like Loris Diran, Mira Zwilliger, and Naheem Khan. She has worked in top salons all over Philadelphia, on movie sets, and done multiple photoshoots with Urban Outfitters, Comcast, and Aveda.

Working with EvaMarie of Earth Tones was a fantastic experience from our initial conversations, trial, to my wedding day. I had a small but diverse wedding party and it was important to me that everyone receiving hair and makeup services felt comfortable and beautiful on the big day and Earth Tones was very clear about their ability to meet that request from the very beginning, which they absolutely did! Their use of environmentally conscious products was another key factor in booking them. Not only are the brands and products they use environmentally friendly, but long lasting! I cried all throughout the sweetness of my wedding day and nothing budged! EvaMarie went above and beyond throughout the experience and even stayed late to make sure my veil was on and secure. They also made sure to honor any changes/requests I had from between the trial and the big day, and I felt so affirmed and like myself on the wedding day. We had so many compliments on our hair and makeup services, and one of our guests asked for their information so they could inquire about using their services for their own wedding!

Steph Smith Photo 

5.0

Brooklyn, NY
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Merrick, NY

If you're the kind of couple that would prefer their photographer feel like one of the guests as opposed to a paparazzi, and if when the neighbors complain about the noise, you just invite them to the party, keep reading. I take a documentary-style approach to my weddings. Roaming with a camera, I capture the candid moments and small details that make your wedding unique to you, while making sure to set aside time for a few special portraits.

Awarded Best of Zola
So first I should say—the photos are gorgeous. Steph did an amazing job capturing the experience of the day (which is exactly what I wanted) and made sure to get photos of everyone I had specially mentioned. Multiple people stopped me during my wedding to tell me what a good job she was doing. If you want photos that look like YOUR wedding instead of everyone else's, book Steph. But I want to also say, it's not an understatement that we could not have pulled off our wedding without Steph. We had to massively shift our wedding plans the morning of our ceremony due to severe weather. Steph helped us find new locations for family photos, helped us figure out the best lighting in our new ceremony location, and so much more. Despite our stress levels, getting our photos taken one ended up being a true highlight of the day. Steph radiated calm and infectiously fun energy throughout the whole experience. I was confident the photos would be great—and they really, really are—but the level of care Steph put into helping make the WHOLE experience special was truly incredible.

  • Serves Merrick, NY

Here at Tree Films, we make your story a priority. We strive to get to know our couples and how they came to be, down to the silly coincidences and weird first dates. We like to think that our mission goes beyond just documenting your wedding day -- the goal is to create an unforgettable experience! We are invested in making each video as genuine as possible, as if your story was being told by a best friend who witnessed all the important stuff. Tell us who you are as a couple and let us put together a video that tells the story from day one to I do!

Treefilms is a stellar photography and videography company! After our venue, they were the second vendor we booked as photography and videography was very important to us. Ashley was responsive and kind from the beginning! She was open to our ideas in regard to location and then made it look even better in the photo video! We felt so comfortable during that shoot and at our wedding in front of the camera with them. They gave us enough direction that it was easy to know what to do, but did not result in stiff or overly posed pictures. The candid shots that they captured throughout the wedding day are photos we will cherish; they were able to capture all the emotions so perfectly. The team worked seamlessly with all the other vendors, they truly know what they’re doing! (Shoutout to Ashley for doing up the buttons on my dress!) Our wedding video is a work of art, I don’t think it’s comparable to the standard videos produced by other vendors. Treefilms is the vendor we recommend most to friends and family, and we look forward to working with them again in the future!

We cannot begin to explain how much Rebecca helped us throughout our planning process and on our wedding day. We hired her in the month before our wedding to help us with last minute things and plan through the wedding day. She coordinated with all of our vendors to make sure everything was delivered on time and every second of the day ran smoothly. After she planned our full schedule, we had several calls in the weeks leading up to our wedding where Rebecca led us through the days events and made sure every detail was thought out and taken care of. On the day of the wedding Rebecca was a super calming presence, making sure we both had everything we need, from an ear to complain to, a mint, deodorant, water, she had it all. In addition to handling all logistics, Rebecca was also a huge help in navigating stubborn guests trying to interfere with our visions for the day. All of this made us feel excited about our wedding instead of stressed, it's impossible to put into words how much that means, especially now looking back on our wedding that was more perfect than we could have imagined.

LIFE HAPPENS FAST. ANYONE LOOKING BACK AT THEIR WEDDING DAY WILL TELL YOU, IT’S A WHIRLWIND OF MOMENTS AND EMOTIONS. That’s why I’m here. I’m Daria and I’m a memory caretaker. I make heart-warming, intimate wedding films so that on your wedding day, you can savor those moments and emotions. As a visual magician, I’ll conjure for you a beautiful film that will allow you to remember. When I had my second child, I worried I was missing things – they grow up so fast! I began filming them, focusing on the simple but beautiful things people tend to overlook. When I film weddings I look for these same types of moments.

Daria made sure to understand us as a couple. We absolutely LOVED our wedding teaser and video. Originally we didn’t care about the video and we thought we would be the only ones to see it but whenever people ask to see pictures of our wedding we show them the wedding teaser video ! It incorporates the fun feel we were going for, the love, the inclusivity. Such a great choice to go with Daria! One of the best decisions we made for our wedding !

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

Chef Ellen and her team delivered delicious food for our wedding on May 1st. My husband and I had spoken to other caterers who seemed to want to tell us what we wanted our wedding to be like, but Chef Ellen listened to us and enthusiastically created a menu that checked all of our boxes, including dietary preferences and restrictions. We had a tasting at our home and once we tasted the food, we knew we picked the right caterer. Our guests agreed. It didn't go unnoticed that our food options were anything but the regular wedding fare. We wanted a Mediterranean vibe for all of our entrees and Chef Ellen and her team delivered. As the venue was outside, she worked with her preferred rental vendor, Big Dawg Rental, and ordered all of the equipment needed for the catering operation, keeping me in the loop and checking in on cost. She identified cost savings by asking if I wanted to order some items outside of rentals, which I did on occasion. We hired the serving staff from Renegade as well and they did a great job. I highly recommend Renegade Outpost for a unique catering experience. We definitely received what we wanted.

Brennan's voice is as smooth as butter and Kia hitting all the high notes in "Respect" brought down the house. Not only is the band incredibly talented, but they are genuinely nice people who have a good time performing together. They accommodated all of our requests, and we had MANY including Sam Cooke, Frank Sinatra, Bob Dylan, and more (they play all the newer music too!). On top of it all, Brennan helped me surprise my wife with a private last dance to "River" by Leon Bridges. Brennan kept it a secret up to the last second and made the moment so so special for us both. Needless to say, tears of joy were flowing! Not only were they a fabulous musical group, but they seamlessly MC'd the reception including speeches, cake cutting, and pouring of the champagne tower. We livestreamed the ceremony and they let us use their mics -- the sound quality was crisp and allowed our grandmothers to hear every word of our vows. Their ability to provide a string quartet for the ceremony added a truly elegant touch and provided our guests with live music from beginning to end. With so many bands out there to consider, we could not be any happier with our choice to hire Cooper Union!!

We are a married couple of photographers. Within years of career, we discovered what’s really matters - we want to make people happy. Weddings have it all: new interesting people, touching stories, warm family relationships, tears. A lot of tears! Oh, don’t forget dances and sparklers! So, it’s fun! 🙂 Also, we love weddings because it’s the most challenging kind of photography in the field, it combines all the genres. It make you think, move and react quickly in constantly changing surrounding. We have no room for mistakes. So It’s never boring! 🙂

We absolutely loved working with Tati and Roman!! We knew that we wanted to work with them immediately after our first conversation with Tati. Having two photographers was a key differentiator for us because we knew that it would allow us to capture all of the important moments from our wedding day. Tati and Roman are both so genuinely warm, kind, and very easy to work with. They were quick to respond to all of our questions leading up to our wedding and also helped us organize our day-of-timeline in a way that allowed us to get all of the photos that we wanted while also providing us with plenty of time to be present and have fun with friends and family. Tati and Roman made us and all of our friends and family feel comfortable when taking photos and provided guidance when needed to ensure that we got the perfect shots. We were blown away when we got our wedding photos and are so happy with how they turned out! Tati and Roman captured all of the beautiful and authentic moments from that night and you can feel the love that was in the room. We cannot thank Tati and Roman enough and are so happy that we were able to work with them.

Hi! I'm Alëna! I’ve been making videos for over 10 years now. I believe in sucking the joy out of life and documenting it. It’s by immersing myself in travel that my eyes were first opened to videography. Being an adoptee from another country I fell in love with the process of collecting memories. I feel that my exposure to changing environments has allowed me to appreciate things from various perspectives and remain calm and assertive in fast pace situations. Such as weddings! I love capturing different traditions & religions AND of course documenting people in love or breaking the dance floor are my literal favs! Let's freakin' go yeah!?

Awarded Best of Zola
I was on the fence about getting a videographer due to budgetary reasons and not knowing if I would really treasure it compared to photos. After several discussions with my family, I decided to book a videographer and found Alenka Films. I have to say, hiring Alenka Films to shoot our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! She went above and beyond to capture our day. From the pre-wedding discussions and check-ins, to the day-of logistics and everything after the day, Alena has been so responsive and communicative - I never had any worries about her ability to follow through and provide the best videos possible. She captured all of the most important parts of our day and even stayed a little late to get some amazing shots of our guests dancing. Since the wedding day, the videos were provided well within the given timeframes and are all so beautiful. Everyone I have shown the videos compliments them so much. I am so glad we hired Alena to film our day and that we have a beautiful video to look back on for years to come!

If you want to talk video games, LOTR or Doctor Who, we HAVE to sit down for a bourbon or a coffee. (2) Yes, I will be out on that dance floor with you snapping away while joining in on the fun. And (3), while I'm a photographer first, supporting you during the planning process feels crucial to me - from building a timeline to having your back any way I can.

Mary is the easiest person to work with, she is knowledgeable, follows her intuition, and treats everyone she encounters with a genuine warmth and kindness as if she has known them forever. She not only took our engagement photos in our backyard, but returned a year later to shoot our backyard wedding. Our friends and family all adored her and I would lovingly refer her to anyone searching for a photographer. Not only are her people skills admirable, her photography is beautiful. Our wedding photos are a dream and I go through them often. She captured the coziness of our event and the love everyone has for one another in the photos. She took and needed very little direction coming from myself, knowing little of photography or traditional wedding photos. She even helped me in understanding a traditional flow of events. I would happily seek her out again and/or implore her to take any future photos we require, as I can't imagine being so comfortable with another photographer now. I can not say enough nice things about MJC image.

I heard about MMUAV through my sister in law and all of her friends. They could not have recommended her more highly, and I am so grateful I went with their suggestion! Denise did my makeup, and I could not have dreamed of a better artist. She knew how important it was to me to not overdue the makeup, since I hardly wear any in real life. To say she nailed it was an understatement! And Linda gave me the Hollywood waves of my dreams! Both my hair and makeup held for the entire day and night. Both ladies were also so incredibly kind. They see hundreds of brides, so I’m sure the novelty wears off for them sometimes. BUT they made me feel so special and so beautiful on my big day. Victoria was so easy to work with and very communicative (VERY important to have in a vendor!!!). I was able to get hair and makeup for myself, 9 bridesmaids, MOB, MOG, and my grandmother. The entire day was seamless. They stuck to their schedule and did not make us late for anything. The entire process could not have been easier, and she BY FAR has the most reasonably priced services in the tri state area. I will be recommending MMUAV to all my friends that get engaged in the future!

She was just as invested in checking the weather for that weekend as much as I was! She made the experience so seemless and the photos came out effortlessly and captured our love even though we were camera shy. Aside from being our photographer for our engagment session - she also photographed our wedding recently (June 2024) and through our numerous video calls she made a timeline! This was so helpful with planning! We received our gallery in such a short period of time that I was in such disbelief. I lived the photos and our story she captured - I will forever be grateful!

Lindsay and Nathan are an incredible team. From booking them two years ago, doing our engagement session, and now having gotten sneak peaks back from our wedding that was just 2 days ago, I’m completely blown away by how incredible they have been! Lindsay is a complete pro. Group photos flew by because she was so great at directing and wrangling everyone. I had multiple people comment on how she was EVERYWHERE non-stop at our wedding, doing an amazing job the whole time! I just know she got every picture I wanted and more, and with how gorgeous our sneak peaks turned out I know I’ll absolutely love them! She and Nathan were so on top of everything, and made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. Not only that, she truly went above and beyond helping to safety pin a rip in my dress.

My creative, fun, and candid photography uses innovative techniques and unique ideas to get photos that make you look twice. Whether you're saying vows in your backyard or having a 3-day adventure wedding in the rainforest, I'll catch every spontaneous moment of joy and laughter—and plan a few awesomely unique shots on top of it all.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kathryn was so great to work with! I am overly easy-going and did not have a clear idea of what I wanted for photos for my engagement and wedding, but once I saw Kathryn's photos from other events I was sure I wanted her! Her photos show so much personality and are so vibrant, she gave me a sneak peak of the wedding photos just days after the wedding and it got me so excited to see the rest and made me 100% sure I chose the right photographer for my 'big day'. She came up to Humboldt County, CA for our engagement shoot and we did an adventure style session, we hiked all around the College Cove forest and beach and she had both my husband and I feeling very comfortable in front of the camera (neither of us usually would be). The photos came out so beautifully and there are so many to chose from and love. Her assistant was also great! My wedding was pretty un-organized but everything came together so perfectly at the end. She was very understanding when my payment had to come in small portions as well because my Zelle app wasn't working properly. Pretty much all I told her was that I wanted 90% candid in the moment photos and just a few family portraits on top of our couple portraits. I was very grateful that all I had to do was give her a few sentences of what I knew I wanted and she gave her all to give me what I wanted and more! I would 100% chose her over and over again to photograph our events!

Kim at Craven and Co. did far more than take unbelievable photos of our wedding day (though I'll get to that as well). I had no idea that a photographer could do so much to add to the energy of our overall experience. She caught the most touching details that I would have never thought to mention--from getting ready to the final moments walking away from our after party--as well as managed the group photo portion of the day brilliantly. Most importantly, Kim is wonderful at making everyone feel at ease so she can capture the true energy of the wedding. She knows weddings inside and out and knows how to be at the right place at the right time. Logistically, she was quick, easy to contact, and amazing at compiling images that told the full story of the experience. I still have people asking me who our photographer was and we have many of the photos framed in our home. I would recommend Craven and Co. to any couple!

My original makeup artist had to cancel a few months before my wedding because she was pregnant so she recommended Diana to me. I looked through her Instagram and was impressed with how flawless her makeup styles looked. Right after my trial with her I booked her for my rehersal dinner and wedding day makeup. I wanted a soft glam look for both days. The first day I wanted a more matte look and the wedding day a more glittery look. Diana was able to do both looks flawlessly. She helped me feel relaxed and calm before my big day with fun and light conversation. Since all my events happend during COVID, she took all precautions to make sure everything was clean and safe. I am so happy, I have worked with this sweet person and would definitely recommend her to any brides looking for a makeup artist!

They were patient and they made us feel comfortable and supported during the night and we had a blast as well. On top of all that, he knew how to capture well our love story. His team is amazing and they provided a high quality, welcoming, amazing photography experience. I’d recommend their work for any event you’d like to capture precious moment’s in!

I am so glad you're here! I LOVE my family and I am OBSESSED with anything Kate Spade and if I could live in yoga pants, I would. My favorite thing to do other than photography is cook. I am lucky my husband and kiddos love eating as much as they do! We love the beach and anything Disney! I fully believe in having ice cream for breakfast and I cannot pass by a good Italian restaurant without going in. My heart melts when my boy says I love you or kisses my cheek. Being a photographer has allowed me to freeze some of our sweetest moments and I hope to be able to do that for you. xoxo

I don’t have enough words to describe how much we love Lauren! We were recommended by a friend to Lauren for our wedding in 2017. We had met with 8 (yes eight!!) photographers before Lauren and from the minute we sat down with her, we knew she was special. Her attention to detail and care about us and our family was exceptional. I don’t even really remember seeing my own wedding planner more than twice on my wedding day but Lauren was there every second keeping me calm and making sure I was ready for every moment of the day and night. A few weeks after our wedding, we received our photos and my husband and i cried tears of joy looking through the best day of our lives. Your wedding is the fastest day of your life and to be able to relive it from the outside through these amazing photos was the best gift we could receive. Since 2017, we have used Lauren for ALL of our family shoots for holidays and special occasions. We will never look elsewhere. Do yourself a favor and contact Lauren! It will be the best decision you will ever make for your wedding!!

Hi I'm Hannah and I'm from tiny fishing village in Cornwall, England but moved here to North Carolina in 2017. Fun fact, they actually filmed some of scenes for the Game of Thrones spin off, House of the dragon there! It's hard to pick favorites but if your wedding includes a dog in the bridal party, a dress with pockets and the cupid shuffle....COUNT ME IN! Among my never-ending list of dream sessions is of course a wedding at Disneyworld and the ultimate outdoorsy engagement session with the wild horses at Shackleford Banks. Don't be surprised when I ask you to add me to your pinterest boards so I can fangirl over your wedding plans.

We hired Matt and Hannah for our wedding day in August of 2022. Hannah was so easy to talk to and made us feel at ease throughout all of our communications. I really wanted someone who would make me feel like I didn't have to stress at all about the photos/video on my wedding day, and they definitely fit the bill! And most importantly, the photos and video turned out amazing! They captured every moment perfectly. My favorite photos were from when we snuck out during our reception and took some amazing photos in downtown Raleigh (A dream that I had, that Hannah helped make happen!). Do yourself a favor, and just hire them. You won't regret it!

You never truly understand the value of a wedding planner/coordinator until after the wedding. I am SOOOO happy I had Greta and her team help us out with your special day. I would always hear how the wedding day is so stressful and that you don’t get to actually enjoy it, that you don’t even get to eat, as you have to make sure everything goes as planned and cater to all of your guests. I am SO happy to say I did not feel any of that! My husband and I got to relax and we had so much fun because she was there to do all that for us. Greta and her team planned every single detail of the wedding day for me. She had a very detailed timeline and was with us at every moment of the event. She made sure everything ran smoothly and as planned. I know not everyone can afford a wedding planner, but you should AT LEAST hire a wedding coordinator. I was so clueless going into this… There are so many little details we had no idea about. Greta helped us with inspiration ideas, with vendor recommendations(which again- they were the best of the best and that just made everything so much better. We had absolutely no issues with any of the vendors because she knew who to recommend) she helped with the timeline, with the decorations… literally everything. My wedding wouldn’t have been what it was if it wasn’t for her, as she was the brains behind the entire event. Greta is so good at what she does!! She was able to figure out my style and what I like on our first meeting. She’s literally the best of the best! You don’t regret working with her. Trust me, you’ll thank me later!!

I’ve spent years refining an approach that allows me to sincerely honor the moment — knowing when to step in and adjust a subject or environment, and sensing when to stand back and allow a moment to just be. With me, your photographs will be an intentional representation of this time of your life — imagery that will make you feel like it was just yesterday, and yet, feel forever untouched by time. Truly, the honor is all mine. Thank you for considering me to document this luxuriously intimate wedding event.

Awarded Best of Zola
April and Mike were the first vendors we booked and they have been incredible to work with since day one. They truly make you feel so comfortable in front of the camera and are able to capture the in between moments with your spouse! I wouldn’t want anyone else there for these big moments! If you are on the fence, just talk to them and you’ll walk away knowing you are about to make the right decision by booking them. All of our wedding photos are perfect and show the love of that day! None of our photos feel scripted or forced, but just like us. They are the easiest yes you’ll make in this planning process!!

Hi, I’m Bridget — but you can call me Bee, cause that’s what my friends call me! And since we’re basically already best friends, let me tell you a secret: taking pictures isn’t even the thing I love most about my job. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m as obsessed with taking gorgeous, dripping-in-light photos that you’ll look back on for ages as much as the next photographer. But what I really love? Meeting the most kind-hearted people and getting to know them on a level much deeper than the typical client-photographer relationship.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we first met with Bridget to discuss our wedding we knew there was no longer a need to worry about photography. Her positive attitude, professionalism, and attention to detail went above and beyond our expectations and she delivered on every aspect. She was extremely responsive throughout the whole process and always quick to answer any of our questions. Bridget provided the total package from engagement photos, our wedding day, and even a custom made photo album designed specifically for us and through it all she provided the same high quality service with little wait time for providing us photos. Getting to work with Bridget was truly a pleasure and we would highly recommend her to our family and friends. We truly can’t thank her enough for an incredible experience and for perfectly capturing our special day.

I was so thrilled to work together with Eve on a recent wedding.

From the moment I met Eve, she was fun, personable, and professional but also TALENTED! Her work lasted on every single person the entire day. Gorgeous photos from noon to midnight!

My wife was absolutely beautiful the day of our wedding. Seeing her that day was so emotional for me because just when I thought my beautiful wife could not be more beautiful, I was captivated by the celebrity version of my wife. I don’t mind my wife getting her make up done, if it’s done by Nikki.

The word ‘milieu’ defines how we want to capture your wedding: as whole of scenery. Any experience is the result of a series of moments and feeling of our interaction with others. Images can recreate those intangible elements more fully in our mind, allowing us to relive our emotional experience long after the day has ended.

Salvatore was wonderful! He was very kind and professional. Before the wedding, he took the time to speak with us about our vision for the day and the shots we wanted. On the day of the wedding, he spent pretty much the entire day with us, and was even able to split his time between our ceremony and our reception. We got his photos right on time, and they were truly lovely, with a nice mix of posed and candid photographs, and beautiful lighting and focus throughout. Salvatore did everything we could have expected him to and more, and we are very glad that we went with Milieu for our wedding!

A common misconception about Bloom Culture is that we are telling people they SHOULD DIY their wedding flowers… when in reality we are telling people they CAN DIY their wedding flowers… if they want to. With Bloom Culture you can create you own wedding flowers with Confidence. We help you get creative, stay in-control of your wedding budget, and enjoy the most beautiful wedding flowers. We have pre-made DIY Flower Collections or you can get a custom design with our FREE online quote or chat with us one on one for more guidance!

Awarded Best of Zola
As my fiancé and I started the wedding planning process, we joked that our loose theme would be “flowers and love.” We knew we wanted lots of beautiful, lush florals as the primary decor focus, and also knew we didn’t want to spend the many thousands of dollars to achieve that look with a standard florist. If you’re in the same boat, and have an appetite for some DIYing, I’d STRONGLY recommend working with Bloom Culture. After some Googling for DIY wedding florals, I came across Bloom Culture and spoke with Allison for a custom consultation. During the call, Allison helped me express the type of floral look we were going for, and built out a custom floral package that would achieve it. She also laid out the delivery and prep process, and we landed on a final package and timeline for delivery. We received a LARGE box of flowers the week before the wedding and were immediately pleased with the quantity and quality of flowers we had received. Allison’s guide mentioned that some crushed or damaged blooms would be completely normal, but everything was so well packaged we didn’t notice more than a few damaged stems. From there, the DIYing began. Between unpacking, trimming, de-thorning, trimming again, building bouquets, arrangements, boutonnieres, etc, etc, it was a LOT of work. However, we referenced Allison’s guides (written, video tutorials) religiously and they laid out everything perfectly. She strongly recommends having plenty of assistants -- pay attention to this advice! Find a few trusted friends or family members who have time and artistic ability and it will make all the difference in your stress levels. The flowers all lasted beautifully for the wedding and we received so many compliments on how they looked. Allison - thank you for everything!
