Have about 200 people showing up to your reception and want to guarantee that everyone from your aunts and uncles to your most particular friend all send you texts about how perfect your wedding band was? Great, you're done with your search. We worked with The Hook Club on an ambitious two-day wedding, which included them doing live sound for our Friday welcome party, live sound for the music at our ceremony, some deep cut requests, and our desire to not just have "another wedding band." What we got was an incredibly talented, creative, and kind group of people who were ready to make whatever we wanted happen, ready to add ideas and layers, and who then completely blew away our expectations. We're in that era of our lives where we've been to about 100 weddings in the last 10 years, and we can honestly say that no band has even come close to The Hook Club. A year later everyone is still talking about how great our band was. They are true professionals in every sense of the word, and you should seriously consider booking your venue around whether or not THC is available. That's not hyperbole - they were that good.

Gage Horne Studios 

5.0

  • Videographer
  • Cinematic style
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves Oak Forest, IL for additional fees

My name is Gage Horne, the owner of Gage Horne Studios. I started my company in 2019 (officially) but have been doing video work starting at the age of 11. It started as gaming videos uploaded to YouTube, to shooting professional dance films in college, to starting my own Video Production Service. I found true passion in my work when I realized how important wedding videos are. I had already shot 100+ films before my wedding but realized as a consumer how valuable it is. I love what I do and finding intriguing/interesting ways to display those pieces is what keeps me creative and constantly making my films better.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I had our wedding in Idaho back on October 15th, 2022. We hired Gage Horne Studios, and I’m super glad we did. One of the logistic problems was that we live in Alaska, so there wasn’t really any way to meet him beforehand. He took that in stride and was extremely responsive when I talked to him over email. It was not Gage himself that shot our wedding, but the guy that came (sorry, I cannot remember his name lol) was extremely nice and friendly. I will also give him props because he had to compete for shots against 2 photographers, and he did amazing. The turn around was extremely fast, as someone who is horrible at having patience. He also gave a one minute highlight reel, that basically acted like a sneak peek/teaser, and I was in love. My venue (Sunnyside Farms) was absolutely gorgeous and I’m so thankful he offered drone footage of it. Lastly, every bit of inspo I gave to him, he made sure to do. ALL OF IT! I asked him to interview my loved ones attending and ask them for marriage advice, and that is my absolute favorite part of the video. I get to look back on this sentimental video for years to come, and see my favorite people wishing my husband and I the best. One day they will be gone, and that’s all I’ll have left, so I’m really glad to have hired Horne Studios for my big day.

Hello, I'm Tomi! Wedding Photographer based in Denver, Colorado. I capture authentic, creative and emotionally driven wedding moments. My photography style has a good mixture of traditionally posed photos and so many unique candid shots, all edited with the more true-to-life color editing style. My business, Tomi Photopositive, is built around my fun, positive and extrovert personality, that will make you feel comfortable and stress free during your entire wedding day.

Awarded Best of Zola
Tomi was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. His communication style is sensitive, direct, thoughtful, kind, and friendly - they truly felt like a friend at our wedding who loved taking pictures. The quality of their work is nothing short of perfection, with visionary, long-lasting images that captured all the little details we didn't even think about, like asking guests to hide their phones or stand up straight. Tomi went above and beyond to ensure we had the best day ever, and we are overjoyed with the stunning photos that will allow us to relive our special day for years to come. Having him at the wedding felt like having a friend there who was passionate about clicking the best pictures for you, rather than a business transaction. He gets along with your guests better than you do. Everyone was asking about him at the end. Now I can’t imagine having another photographer. He has spoilt us, and I will literally reach out to him for every single event we want photographed, he’s become a staple name, synonymous with photography.

His creative vision and attention to detail resulted in stunning photographs and an enchanting wedding video that we will cherish for a lifetime. While Juan may be new to the wedding industry, I have no doubt that he is destined to shine bright. His talent, passion, and dedication are undeniable, and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work with him.

Hey there!! My name is Marilyn and I'm so glad you're here ♡ I am a couples + wedding photographer based in New York City, and happy to travel to wherever your day is at! I've had pink hair for the last 6 years so at this point it has become a personality trait and I'm 100% okay with it. I love the outdoors, pat every dog I can, and thrive on ben and jerry's. My ideal place to be would likely be frolicking in wildflowers in a dress that's way too long, but the longer the better. The patio of my NYC apartment with a good book is a close second favorite though, for sure.

Awarded Best of Zola
I could not recommend Marilyn LaManna more. From booking, to our engagement shoot, to consultation calls to the day of the wedding, there was not a single moment I doubted her skill, her vision and her professionalism! If you want gorgeous, artistic photos shot by the chillest, kindest most supportive photographer, Marilyn is your gal. As someone super anxious about not being photogenic, I felt nothing but calm and comfortable in front of her camera. Nothing felt overly posed, nothing felt forced or awkward. She was super accommodating and always always respectful. Go for Marilyn and you will not be disappointed!!!

Our goal was to get photos that looked straight out of a Vogue shoot haha.. And they superseded our expectations. Our photos are timeless and absolutely stunning. Christy and Alex are extremely sweet, making us feel so comfortable. There was not a moment we felt lost because they kindly guided us in what to do and the execution was exactly what we wanted, confirming that our desires were heard and respected. They captured us for who we are as a couple. Thanks Christy and Alex!

Justin was lovely to work with from the start. He was booked for another wedding, but he paired us up with Rob, an associate DJ of his. Both Rob and Justin were so so fun to work with. Rob took the time to text or set up whatever zoom calls we felt we needed. For the actual day, Rob was amazing. We had dinner service, reception, and "after party". Robs killed it with his flow between songs, and was incredibly accommodating and flexible if we had any requests in the moment, and was able to dodge or handle any "questionable" song requests that came his way. We knew that he always put my husband and I's wishes first. We also had multiple people comment on how good the DJ was during the reception, and after the fact! He also went above and beyond to pull heroics the day of to get some of our DIY spot lighting set up that wasn't set up the night prior. Rob was incredible to work with, and just as fun to chat with. Will miss working with them, but absolutely will be following their journeys and would use them again in a heartbeat! So thankful for Justin and Rob!

I could not more highly recommend Kristen! Kristen was one of the very first vendors that I booked for my August 2024 wedding and I could not be more happy in that decision. Kristen's style is timeless and true to color. She focuses on capturing the day as it happens rather than focusing only on super posed shots- which I love! Kristen's communication is clear, prompt, and honest- I so appreciated her insight through the wedding planning process and especially in developing the timeline. We also received far more sneak peeks than we expected and I'm still shocked with how quickly we received our full gallery! Kristen, we are so happy you were there to capture our day!

Awarded Best of Zola
Erica's presence was such a nice touch for our wedding that was on the smaller end but also an outdoor one. All of our sound needs were met for the event space that we had and she was able to accommodate a lot of our requests! For example, we wanted to have a worship time during our ceremony so it was nice that Erica was able to lead that for us while also playing during our cocktail hour and reception afterwards. She has a great way of understanding the balance on when the music needed to be at the forefront versus being in the background. At one point during our reception, she even performed a song for us right after some speeches and chose a song that happened to be a very special song to us!

Hi! I’m Justin (he/him) and I’m here to affirm your love, make you feel like a fucking rockstar, and dance like a total fool. Oh, and take so many gorgeous photos of y’all. Obvs. My style blends both documentary photojournalism and fine art photography: coaching folks who are shy in front of the camera, then stepping back to capture authentic moments uninterrupted. I’ve been lucky enough to have my work published by A Practical Wedding, The New York Times, GLAMOUR, People Magazine and many other fabulous outlets. I'm a stereotypical Capricorn that loves drag shows, campy horror films, every dog I meet, and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

Awarded Best of Zola
Simply put, Justin is the BEST of the BEST. While his photos are undeniably beautiful in every way, it is Justin’s personality, humor, flexibility, professionalism, and panache that set him apart from all the rest. He was one of the first vendors we hired and, from day one, we knew were in excellent and expert hands. He took the time to get to know us as individuals and as a couple, which allowed us to have a seamless relationship (and friendship!) by the time we actually stood in front of his camera during our sweetheart session and on our wedding day. This level of comfort was key — neither my husband nor I had ever been professionally photographed, but Justin made us feel completely at ease by cracking jokes, making us whisper funny things in each other’s ears, and giving us gentle guidance about what we could do to make the moment, well, picture perfect! Justin goes above and beyond for his clients. During a pre-wedding chat, I mentioned the possibility of having anxiety about being the center of attention on our wedding day and the pressure of talking to so many family and friends. Justin suggested we have a signal between us so that he could whisk me away if I was stuck talking to someone for too long. I’m lucky that I didn’t need to use the signal, but just knowing Justin had my back was hugely comforting. Additionally, after we hired Justin, we were at a loss for where else to turn for the other million things needed to put this wedding together. In a flash, Justin was there with infinite recommendations based on our taste, our budget, and his own vendor relationships. Hiring Justin was one of the best decisions we made and I would recommend him a thousand times over!!!!!

He was super helpful in helping us pose and very skilled in the ways he used lighting to capture our best features. He captured really genuine moments with such skill. He also made sure the job was well done and he got all the photos that we could have wanted. We had a blast working with him! The photos are stunning and I genuinely can’t stop looking at them!

She gave us just the right amount of guidance in posing to get incredible shots that still look natural. She really captured the essence of the day — love and laughter, and you can feel it oozing from the photos.

My name is Amanda Montgomery and I am Arrae Photography based out of Grand Rapids, Michigan. The name Arrae (pronounced [uh-rey]) came from my first initial and my middle name, Rae, added an extra r and made a new word. I wanted something unique that was also me, the idea came to mind one day and it just fit. Being a photographer is all I've ever wanted to do with my life. When I was 12 I saved up my babysitting money to buy my first 'big time' camera. I formed Arrae Photography in 2003 as a part-time venture while I worked at local photo labs, went full time in 2008.

Awarded Best of Zola
Amanda was the best from start to finish! I was very picky looking for a photographer as it’s literally the only way you have to see certain moments and honestly defines your memory of the big day. I was also nervous as we are an LGBTQ couple and let’s just say that’s not always easy with vendors. Amanda made us comfortable and understood what we were looking for from the first phone call. Our engagement photos were incredible and we honestly laughed the whole time. It was never awkward or unnatural and instead she got us as a couple and captured it. She gave us our sneak peak that night! With COVID she communicated and worked with us when our plans fell apart and changed. Our simple back yard wedding looks like a million dollars through her lens and she honestly caught our happiness so that every time I see the photos I feel like I’m back in that day. She played wedding planner and controlled the group for pictures as needed and even got my grumpy toddler niece to smile! With her photographing your event you can just just enjoy your day and let her do the rest. I recommend her to everyone. Best decision we made planning our wedding.

My husband and I had a small, intimate wedding in October 2023 and are so very pleased and impressed with how well Alex and his assistant captured our wedding day! Our cinematic film was everything we can ever dream of! Alex and his assistant were very professional, kind, approachable and had such awesome, positive energy. From the start, Alex was quick to respond to my messages and answered all the questions I had in a timely manner. On our wedding day, Alex did a great job guiding and directing me and my husband to ensure our wedding video turned out perfect. We purchased raw footage on top of our wedding film and in some of the video clips, we noticed that Alex did an exceptional job at guiding us to make sure our poses didn’t look awkward and our clothing and overall look was perfect. I also remembered I mentioned my preferences on how I would like our wedding film to look like and Alex definitely made sure to incorporate everything I wanted. I asked for romantic, intimate and fun vibes and he captured all of that in our video. Alex had an easy going demeanor the whole wedding day and at the same time paid very close attention to all the fine details. We were at awe at how beautiful our wedding film turned out because his videography editing skills are top notch, the music he selected suited the overall vibe of the night and he captured every memorable moment from our wedding. We are forever grateful that we selected Alex to be part of our wedding team. He truly is one of our favorite wedding vendors. If you’re looking for a videographer, look no further because Alex will ensure your film turns out flawless! He will genuinely listen to what you want and make you feel very comfortable. As stressful as wedding planning can be, Alex is definitely someone you can trust to do his job right and give his whole heart into the project!

Leah photographed our wedding at my family's property in Napa Valley, June 2024. Leah took lots of time to scope out the location and seemed to be absolutely *everywhere* during the wedding, at all the right moments. I didn't have to call her over once, because she was already there. She captured the emotions of the day, the little moments, the big moments, and made our day look like the fairytale wedding that it felt like. Once we got the photo gallery back (so quickly!) we relived the day all over again. We were tearing up and laughing at all the photos. I felt like I was looking at photos from a Brides magazine, but it was me! Another thing I'll mention is that Leah gives direction in a kind, calm and encouraging way. My husband is not too confident in photos and he felt SO comfortable posing with her there, and loves his photos too! I felt like she could guide me into more flattering poses when I felt uncertain about my angles. I love Leah and her work and would recommend her to anyone!

Hey there! Since you are trusting me to capture these special moments in your life, I figured you should probably know a bit about me, right? I am a Huntsville, Alabama native, but moved to Nashville after graduating from the University of Alabama in 2013. ROLL TIDE! Although I consider Nashville home, I am anything but a homebody. I love traveling and exploring new places (especially the food at those places!). I even studied abroad in Italy, which let me tell you, was a food lover's dream. I have always felt like an old soul trapped in a millennial’s body. I would rather listen to Frank Sinatra than anything on the radio today.

Awarded Best of Zola
Diana was absolutely amazing and I would 100% recommend her to anyone with no hesitation. From initial contact on, Diana was understanding of our concerns, given that we had had an issue with a previous photographer, and truly worked to reassure us and gain our trust. She was flexible, so positive and personable and of course, the photos we’ve seen so far are absolutely gorgeous and we can’t wait to see the rest. Our friends and family raved about Diana and her assistant Sarah, and told us how wonderful and friendly they were, that they felt like they were really on top of it, addressed any concerns that they had and just overall were an absolute pleasure to be around and had such a positive impact on our day. If you’re reading this and are on the fence about hiring Diana, which I don’t understand how you could be, let this be your sign to work with her. You will have no regrets and you will absolutely love your photos!

Living my best life in suburban Maryland. I love art and being creative, so photography just seemed like the next step after being an actor for 15 years. Storytelling is a HUGE part of my life- whether it’s sitting around the dinner table recounting funny memories or looking at old photographs of my own family. Some of the best stories in the world were told without words. I am a D&D, gaming, and SQL nerd, I have a newfound love of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and I am a proud plant mom. Never been married before? I'm here to hold your hand.

We LOVED her! She did an amazing job at working with us through all the unknowns of getting married during COVID and being so flexible and understanding, and even giving tips and recommendations on how to navigate through changes in plans due to the virus. Her aesthetic is just a dream and all our photos had just the right vibe. Her personality is easy going and funny, and made us feel comfortable taking photos because we are NOT by any means social media models ok! Her pricing is by far fair for the quality of work and professionalism received. I would have her do all of my family photos moving forward for all of eternity if she didn't move from San Diego. If you get the opportunity to work with her, DO. IT.

I’m Mysi (pronounced, boringly, “Missy”)! I’ve been at this thing for 12 years and I keep falling more and more in love with it all. Give me intimate micro-weddings, quirky dive bar weddings, raucous South Asian weddings... my team and I absolutely thrive in chaos and emotion. My specialty is catching the moments and those tiny moments in between. ✨✨✨

Awarded Best of Zola
I can’t recommend Soda Fountain Photography highly enough! Book Mysi, that’s all I can say! First and foremost her photos are gorgeous. It was extremely important to us to have bright, vibrant, dynamic photos to match our Palm Springs setting; as soon as I saw Soda Fountain’s Instagram I knew I had found the only photographer for us. We are definitely not models but Mysi made us feel so comfortable, confident and relaxed that we look our absolute best in our photos and she really captured the emotions of the day. I was thrilled to see how stunning our photos turned out! Mysi is also extremely professional. The planning process was made easy, she always answered my many questions and on the wedding day she was right on time. I really felt like she went above and beyond to insure that our day ran smoothly and that we enjoyed the photography process. I will always be grateful to Soda Fountain Photography for being a part of our day and for capturing every moment so beautifully!

Hi! I'm Brooklyn - the owner! I'm 22 years old & happily married to my best friend, Michael. Traveling is a huge part of our lives, WDW is our happy place, & our next adventure is never far away. When I'm not at a wedding, you can find me in the flower shop or doing some *light* retail therapy. I recently graduated from KSU with a B.S. in Hospitality & Event Management. I have had the opportunity to work with some amazing couples & vendors in several states. I even spent time in FL working closely with one of the world's leading entertainment companies bringing hundreds of fairytale weddings & events to life. Now, I'm making magic of my own!

Awarded Best of Zola
When you think of your wedding, all you can hope for is nothing will go wrong, and if it does, it will be small. When you hire Brooklyn from Brooklyn Rain brides, you can rest assured that your day will be utter perfection. throughout the wedding planning process, Brooklyn was always there for me to reach out to and ask questions and give her professional suggestions. She is beyond wise for her years and knows everything a bride could ask in hand already. Even with me being in the industry Brooklyn would ask me questions leading up to the big day I didn't even know I had, she made sure I knew when and how to get my marriage license and took care of sending it back to the clerk for us. She handled getting the rings to the correct bridal party members and made sure to grab our vow books before the ceremony so we didn't have to remember them. My guests came to me after the ceremony and said it was the best ceremony they had ever seen and I couldnt agree more it had so much emotion, romance and pure magic sprinkled in and brooklyn was incredibly calm collected and well spoken capturing my husband and Is love story perfectly. I cannot recommend her services enough, not only can she officiate the most romantic ceremony ever She is also an incredible wedding coordinator and will make sure your wedding runs smoothly allowing you to have a stress free wedding day! I literally didn't have to handle a single thing on my wedding day because she was there to handle it all. She made all the difference plus she continued to come and check in in me to see how I was doing throughout the getting ready process and has the calmest nature helping me to feel ready before I walked down the aisle. not only did she handle coordination and officiating the wedding she sprinkled in some extra magic by taking some gorgeous photos throughout the day and sent them to me the morning after the wedding so I would have a little something until my professional photos arrived! I am so utterly grateful to Brooklyn for making the best day of my life utterly perfect. She may be based in Ohio, however, my wedding was in Michigan-she has traveled all over the United States to work weddings and is so worth it, so feel free to inquire about out of state travel. Anyone who is engaged, I can't say it enough, you need a Brooklyn to help guide you in your wedding planning!

Gabbie Burseth grew up documenting everything and saving mementos in empty Christmas boxes. After studying at the Grady School of Journalism at the University of Georgia, she discovered an affinity for weddings and their accompanying treasures. Her philosophy as a wedding photographer is to observe with as little interference as possible — no faking it, no do-overs, no “for the camera”. Her biggest desire is for couples to be present at their wedding, not stuck in a photoshoot. Her work is punctuated by rich and vibrant color, the timeless quality of analog film, and a sense of humor found in fleeting moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Gabbie for one of our evening engagement party events at a family home in Orange County. She was so kind , responsive and easy to communicate with in the months leading up to the event. On the day of, she was prompt and very flexible with everything going on. The images turned out AMAZING and the mix of candid digital and film shots captured the event perfectly. I can't wait to hire Gabbie again for another event soon!!

Penney and the team at Blossom & Bee are incredibly talented. We found them on instagram less than two months out, a little desperate to find the right florist who understood our vision. We wanted wild, organic florals with rich and a hint of soft colors to really make our day stand out and they totally delivered. They were so kind and caring the day of, making sure we loved our chuppah and everything. We cannot recommend this team enough, we already are telling our friends getting married that they have to check them out. Also, reasonably priced considering how gorgeous their work is!

Hi there! I’m Emma CotéEwers, your East Coast & Destination Wedding and Lifestyle Photographer! My work is a seamless blend of traditional heirloom portraiture, lively artistic shots, and a little ​photojournalism if the day calls for it. With a true-to-color, film-inspired approach, I strive to craft visuals that capture love, ​laughter, and those beautifully authentic moments that weave together the story of your ​wedding! I feel like these should include fun ​facts? Patsy Cline’s Walkin’ After Midnight is my favorite song and I am currently on my 8th ​nostalgic binge of Gilmore Girls (which might just be fueling my banter lately).

We had the pleasure of working with Emma for our engagement photos, my bridal portraits, bridal shower and our rehearsal dinner. We couldn't be happier with the results. From the very beginning, Emma was incredibly professional, attentive, and truly passionate about capturing the essence of our love story. For our engagement session, she made us feel completely at ease and guided us with such a gentle touch, making the experience fun and natural. The photos turned out absolutely stunning, capturing the joy, excitement, and deep connection we share. When it came time for my bridal portraits, Emma exceeded all expectations. She understood how important these photos were to me, especially since I was wearing my late grandmother’s ring, which holds immense sentimental value. Emma managed to capture not only the beauty of the dress and the setting but also the emotions and memories tied to this moment. She has an incredible eye for detail and lighting, and the photos are a perfect blend of candid and posed shots that reflect our personalities and relationship beautifully. The final images are more than just pictures; they are timeless keepsakes that we will cherish forever. If you're looking for a photographer who is talented, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in telling your story through photos, look no further than Emma. We can't recommend her enough! Thank you, Emma, for capturing these special moments that we'll treasure for a lifetime!
