Hi there, my name is Caleb but most people call me Cook. I spent almost 13 years in the southeast filming weddings, events, corporate gigs and commercials. I moved to California in 2012 and pursued a different career. A couple years ago I decided to get back into event videography and started Cook Captures. When shooting events I have a very hands off candid style. I love to capture people naturally having fun, enjoying the day and creating memories. Every event I film is unique and each film ends up with it’s own story and narrative that fit the couple, venue, guests and overall vibe of your wedding.

We are over the moon with the work of Cook Captures! Caleb has a remarkable talent for capturing the essence of our special day. The attention to detail in every frame was beautiful and the video we received a was nothing short of magical. Our wedding day was a whirlwind of emotions (and windchill), and Caleb managed to encapsulate those precious moments, creating a visual story that tells the story of our love. The turnaround time for our video was impressive, and the presentation was beyond our wildest dreams. Each moment was thoughtfully edited, and the music selection perfectly complemented the spirit of the day. Caleb turned our wedding day into a cinematic experience we will cherish forever. We cannot express enough gratitude to Caleb for his dedication to preserving the magic of our special day. If you are seeking a videographer who goes above and beyond, Caleb is the one! We wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and personable videographer. Thank you, Caleb and Cook Captures, for your exceptional work! Highly recommend!

I have been a professional freelance makeup artist for 4 years now. I also worked at Sephora for 2 years as a makeup artist, and earned my Esthetician license before that in 2017. I have always been an artist at heart but did not touch makeup until I was 18 years old! But thankfully my love and talent for art and painting easily transferred over to makeup artistry, and I'm very thankful that I can encourage my creativity while making people feel beautiful on their important days of life.

Jaycee was an incredible addition to my wedding day. She was easy to communicate with and made the process to book with her easy! Her kit is so organized and impressive. And her makeup work was excellent! All 6 of us loved our makeup and everyone was so happy they still felt like themselves and it wasn’t too much which is exactly what we wanted. I definitely recommend her!

Ebeling Events creator, Kim has been in the hospitality industry her whole working life. Carly is our lead event planner

Ebeling Events was an amazing partner for wedding planning and we recommend them to make your event smooth and stress-free. We signed up for a wedding package at Starling Hill (Audubon Center at Debs Park). We worked with Kim as our lead coordinator and also worked with Katie who was the associate lead and our day-of coordinator. It was easy to have a wedding package, so we didn’t have to seek out many separate wedding vendors and read tons of different contracts. We appreciated how the main essential event set-up was all in one place. Saved us so much time and energy working with these true professionals. They offered narrowed down options, which we really appreciated to save us from decision-fatigue, but if we had special upgrade requests, Kim and her team figured them out to allow for customization too. Kim was easy to reach and super helpful to handle any concerns with her many years of planning expertise. Her and her team were also fun to work with and super responsible and professional, so the actual wedding day was extremely low stress. The vendors Ebeling Events arranged for us as a part of our package were all amazing: florist, catering, bartenders, cake, DJ, lighting, rentals, decor, shuttle, and security. Kim was also an incredible resource for connecting us with outside vendors, as we hired our photographer and make-up artist from her list of recommendations and they were stellar, too. The Ebeling Events team is so talented at what they do. We were extremely impressed when watching Kim form the schedule for the day, and her ability to coach and wrangle the families at our rehearsal was legendary, too. We would have been lost and without Kim and her team. Thanks to Kim and Katie!

We had so many compliments on the wedding - from the DJ being absolutely smashing to the decor, clear organisation, food, everything. We really could not have done it without Jane and Jon.

Hanna Walkowaik is a wedding photographer based in Los Angeles, California, frequenting Chicago & NYC, traveling all around the world to capture love. Hanna creates artful and storytelling images of your day using digital and film. Her photos are filled with vibrant colors, candid moments and touches of nostalgia. She mixes editorial and documentary styles to not only give you beautiful portraits and captured memories but artistic images to hang in your home. With a Bachelor of Arts degree in photography her approach is artistic, purposeful and technically skillful.

My (now) husband and I hired Hanna for her distinct style: think Vogue, editorial, timeless. Hanna shot our wedding day in digital and in film; her editing style masterfully and seamlessly marries the 2 mediums together. She exceeded our already high expectations and gave us ART that belongs in a museum or gallery. While the artsy, abstract photos are my personal favorite, our family and friends cannot stop raving about the candid images she and her 2nd shooter (we had Jake on our wedding day) got throughout the day. As the bride and groom, you will be pulled in a million different directions on the big day and will inevitably miss a lot of small moments with your guests. However, having these photos to look back on makes us feel like we didn’t miss anything. Our wedding gallery is nothing short of a time travel machine that takes us back to our favorite day with our favorite people. Now, onto what it’s like to work with Hanna. Let’s put it this way: I’d trust Hanna with my life. Hanna became my de-facto timekeeper on our wedding day. She kept me and my rowdy friends on time without making it feel like we were on a schedule. In fact, Hanna kept the vibes going even when she’s working hard behind the camera. As the bride/groom, you will be spending your entire day with your photographer - might as well find someone fun!!! She also remembered and made time for the smallest requests I had during our planning call: pics of my friends and I jamming around the piano and architecture shots. Those became some of my most treasured photos. In short, Hanna was a dream photographer to work with. 10/10.

It all started for me at a very young age. In the early 90's when it was all about fashion and the super model, I would OBSESS over the style network and watch runway shows for hours. Fast forward to post high school choices I went to school for esthetics and also got a degree in natural health so that I could offer an additional layer to my makeup knowledge and services. Not soon after I graduated from school I freelanced for the best cosmetic company at that time. Five years after being a brand ambassador for M.A.C I branched off on my own to open a freelance hair and makeup artistry which I eventually moved to Caliornia.

LA Hair and Makeup did a PHENOMENAL job with my wedding hair and makeup! Ashanta (the owner) is so kind, professional, brilliant, and talented. She and her team did makeup for myself and 14 members of my wedding party, and did everything on schedule and to a very high standard of artistry. All of my bridesmaids choose pretty different makeup looks and Ashanta’s team did it all perfectly. I wanted my own hair and makeup look to be sort of vintage-inspired and natural, and I truly could not have been happier with how my bridal hair and makeup turned out— Ashanta is a genius!!

She took note of all the little details that I wanted. My wedding turned out just as I imagined it and went very smoothly thanks to Toni.

Working with Mandy was a truly collaborative and fun experience. It was comforting to know that she was always focused on me, ready for a touch up or adjustment. She was a trusted friend throughout the day and I know I’ll look back on those photos years from now with the comfort I looked like myself and felt stunning! You’ll be lucky and feel spoiled to have her on your team!

  • Florist
  • Serves Pacoima, CA

Hi there, I'm Kaylyn. After almost 12 years working as a florist, I can honestly say, I'm still not over them. This career has been the happiest accident of my life and I can't imagine a life without flowers. What started out as hobby became my dream career. It has taken me all over the world, introduced me to new people and to new cultures, challenged me, and has given me the opportunity to be a fly on the wall to the most beautiful celebrations of love. It has been a joy.

Kaylyn created the florals for our wedding in Santa Barbara and was such a pleasure to work with. The communication was so easy and we loved all her ideas and suggestions. She understood the vibe and totally delivered. Absolutely loved working with Kaylyn of True Vine Studio!!

I would like to say preface my review by saying that I don’t normally wear makeup or style my hair. That being said, I spent alot of time looking through portfolios and meeting with potential make up artists. A friend recommended Deserae Barajas, so I booked a makeup preview with her. During our preview, Des asked me about what I envisioned for my wedding. She was also the only MUA that asked to see my wedding dress and Pinterest board so she could better understand my taste and overall wedding aesthetic. My hair and makeup came out beautifully during the preview, so I booked her for my wedding. The day of my wedding, I looked and felt fxxxing gorgeous! Des did a spectacular job on my hair and my makeup. She recommended that I go with a slightly darker shade of lipstick to better compliment my skin tone, and that made all of the difference in my overall look. I got married on Halloween in Southern California, so it was about 87 outside. The heat made me sweat but my hair and makeup still looked flawless! At the reception, I had a great time drinking and dancing. The best part was that I never even had to touch up my makeup! I looked great! I was glad I invested in Des Barajas because her talent and work made it easier for me to enjoy my day. When I received my wedding photos, my husband and I were both floored by how amazing we both looked. I received a ton of compliments on my hair and makeup, and I was finally able to really see why. My face looked amazing, and my hair was beautiful. Working with Des was really easy and comfortable. She listened to what my beauty needs and concerns were, and her talent far exceeded my expectations. I have recommended her to all of my family and friends, and you’d be a fool to not hire her. The girl works wonders! Thank you for making me look and feel beautiful Des!

Inn of the Seventh Ray 

5.0

Topanga, CA
  • Venue
  • Up to 240 guests
  • Select services
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $5,000

The Inn of the Seventh Ray offers a storybook setting nestled in the canyon, surrounded by grand old sycamores, waterfalls and a flowing creek. Perfect for any celebration, the Inn features rich gardens and a beautifully romantic atmosphere whether you are here to say I do or gather with friends and family to celebrate a joyous occasion. Our menu offers market fresh, California cuisine inspired by the seasons and sourced through local organic and naturally raised ingredients. Considered LA’s most romantic restaurant, we offer a venue unlike any other in the Los Angeles area. The Inn is made up of multiple semi-private outdoor areas and two indoor dining rooms and can be combined to accommodate up to 250 wedding guests.

The Inn of the Seventh Ray was a stunning and gorgeous venue. We were looking for something outdoorsy (without being in the forest), romantic (gorgeous twinkle lights everywhere), and flexible (they accommodated every need from layout to late night snack). Every concern I worried about, turned out to be nothing at all, making it the greatest venue. If you like what you see, it is 10,000% worth it to work with Holly. Holly, the coordinator, knows what she is doing and what works best for guests. She listened to my wild ideas and hopes, and made them work seamlessly. People said, "something will inevitably go wrong on your wedding day." Nothing went wrong, and we credit Holly for that. As the brides, we never felt rushed, or overwhelmed. We were so taken care of. She was so organized and made sure we were having a great time by checking in throughout the night. Concerns I had about the venue: 1) nature (the ground would be uneven for my grandparents). They were fine. 2) Not enough bathrooms (no body cared, we danced in line) 3). It seems small. Yes, it is intimate but honestly, it was the perfect size, no body was wandering or lost, the space felt filled which made it more fun and you didn't miss a detail. 4). No hard alcohol mixed drinks. This worried me because I don't love beer and wine, but it was best because no one got crazy, obnoxious, or over intoxicated. 5) It stayed open to the public so other people would be there. AND IT WAS AWESOME! Everyone complimented us and it made us feel even more special to be recognized. I love that it is a restaurant so we can return on our anniversary for years to follow. It will always get to be a special place in our hearts.

Sally shot our engagement photos, and she was very easy to work with. She suggested poses for us, and was evidently knowledgeable about good locations, angles, and lighting, as well as attentive to fixing little details that make a good photo better. She is friendly and makes the experience comfortable and smooth. Additionally, her editing turnaround is fast, so you can enjoy your special memories more quickly! :)

Kenzie Kate Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,500
  • Serves Pacoima, CA

I'm admittedly wary when it comes to the Wedding Industry and all of it's bells/whistles/expectations, and at the same time, I believe wholeheartedly in the power of community, love, commitment, and collective joy. I think that weddings-- in all of their forms and reclamations-- ultimately serve a great purpose in reminding us of these gifts. I come from a long line of meticulous documenters and hold a degree in Sociology, all of which informs the way I approach photography. I am curious about people, am in awe of the display of emotion, and am passionate about the ways in which we construct family and community.

My husband and I worked with Kenzie for our engagement session in the summer of 2021 and our wedding in the spring of 2022. As you can tell from the timeline both sessions were at the peak of the Pandemic. This season was filled with excitement but also stress as we balanced our family's health, our deepest desires for the wedding, and the weight of the global pandemic. Kenzie gave us the peace that we so desperately needed. All in all, she was our favorite wedding vendor. After our initial onboarding Zoom call, my husband and I turned to each other and screamed did we just make a new best friend?! She is not only professional but personal. She has a great artistic vision but also respected the direction we gave. Kenzie takes a photojournalistic approach to her work and because of that, we feel like these moments are enshrined in history! My favorite Kenzie touch was the pre-wedding survey she provided us that helped her understand what emotions we had going into "the most important day of our lives". She prompted us with questions about the relationship dynamics between our family and friends, and the quirky details of our love, and our answers allowed her to capture more than just a single snapshot in time. Kenzie's photos capture FEELINGS. Thank you thank you thank you and we cannot wait to work with you for our next life event!!

  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Pacoima, CA

Your wedding is our Masterpiece! We celebrate the love of ALL couples and create a unique experience to bring your dream wedding to life. Pastiche Event Productions is a California based event planning and design company that was created with the desire to fully celebrate true love and joy for each special wedding day.

Mia and her team are top notch. From the moment you hire her, you will feel a weight off your shoulders and see everything fall into place. We hired Mia 10 days out from our wedding as our original event coordinator wasn’t being as responsive as we had hoped and it was leaving us stressed out and anxious. Mia immediately hopped on a call with me that lasted well over an hour and jumped in and took lead on everything from the coordination of the DJ, string quartet, catering and rentals to ceremony timeline and all the little details in between. Aisle Planner is the primary software her and her team use and it’s a great addition to see everything from high level as well as to be able to drill down into the details. We were doing a wedding across the county and had never seen the venue in person, and this software really helped us visualize the day and collaborate with Mia. Mia truly went above and beyond. I had a specific whiskey I was looking for and she went herself to pick it up from the store. She always texted and emailed back right away. The day of the rehearsal, we noticed a few items at the venue were not up to par and she immediately went into action and handled them and made adjustments on the fly. We had a lot of very specific requests, some on very short notice and she made it all happen. On your wedding day, you want to feel at ease and like everything is being handled so that you and your guests can have the best time. Mia and her team will make you feel that way.

We strive to provide ALL couples the florals and ambiance of their dreams. Bringing your vision to life while providing a safe space to fully feel comfortable in the planning process is how we want to connect with our clients. With 15 years in the industry it never gets old seeing the joy we can put on peoples faces with flowers.

We used They Bloom Florals for our wedding on July 10th and don’t regret it! Naomi and Britney are phenomenal to work with. They are both communicative, down to earth, funny and a super safe space – especially for LGBTQA couples. Britney was our main contact for keeping track of our details (i.e. how many bouquets, boutonnieres, décor pieces, etc.) design appointments, cost & payments. Naomi is the floral “artist” not just a “florist” – they paint beautiful canvases with flowers that cater to your every whim. There is no other way to describe how amazing Naomi’s work is. Naomi is also SO incredibly knowledgeable about all different flowers, how to pair them together beautifully to fit your wedding “vibe”, the best time of year for different flower types and how to make that all work within your budget while fulfilling your perfect wedding floral dreams. Several of our guests still talk about our floral arrangements from our big day! We will 100% use them again for our floral needs in the future!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Jumi of Dunni Weddings and Events and I cannot say enough about the exceptional job she did. From the very beginning, Jumi was organized and proactive, ensuring that all vendors were kept up to speed and well-informed about the course of the day. Her detailed timeline and clear communication made it easy for us to anticipate and prepare for each moment, resulting in a seamless and well-coordinated event. What truly stood out was Jumi’s ability to manage the guests with grace and efficiency. She kept everyone in line and directed them to where they needed to be, ensuring that the flow of the day was smooth and enjoyable for everyone involved. Her professionalism and pleasant demeanor created a positive atmosphere, making it a joy to collaborate with. Overall, Jumi was a delight to work with. Her attention to detail, exceptional organizational skills, and warm, approachable manner made the wedding day not only successful but also stress-free for all parties involved.

Dawn has been producing creative events in New York and California for over 15 years. You’ll most often catch this bi-coastal party maker biking around Greenpoint, BK or in her home state of California loading up on burritos and baseball games.

As a wedding photographer who has shot 200 weddings all across the US and world, there's nothing that makes me happier or sets me more at ease than when I know Dawn and her team are handling an event. They always make an event flow smoothly and smartly without imposing, perfecting the balance of being hands on and not in your face. Every detail is thought out, and they always go above and beyond for making sure things are tailored to couples and not cookie cutter templates. They fact that Dawn Mauberret Events is leveling up to that bicoastal life? *chefs kiss*
