Sam Turchin was the best photographer I could have possibly chosen to capture my wedding day. She was very flexible and accommodating with coming up with a price package that worked for me. She had great communication before the wedding day so we could plan exactly what I wanted. On the day of, she kept a very professional and positive attitude when things didn’t go exactly as planned, and of course her photographs were STUNNING. She provided a sneak peek within a week and all of our photos arrived in a very organized gallery within 2 months of our wedding!

  • Serves Palos Verdes Peninsula, CA

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.

Cook is super easy going and easy to get along with. His work also speaks for itself, it’s high quality and exactly what you want! He captures people in the entirety and a good turn around time. I would highly recommend him to everyone!

Jaycee Beauty

  • Beauty professional
  • Team of 4
  • Starts at $150
  • Serves Palos Verdes Peninsula, CA

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 has done my makeup on a few occasions now, including a group family portrait and a couple special events/occasions. When I do my own makeup it just never turns out quite right. My eyebrows are slightly off or the makeup settles into my lines and wrinkles, making them more pronounced, rather than less. She has the magic touch and I’ve loved the result every time. I’ve recommended her to at least a dozen people, probably more.

We put out a request for singing entertainment and Olga and Dave replied along with others. However, we decided to go with Olya and Dave because their tone of response made me feel at ease. They were extremely responsive, accommodating. Answering all of my silly questions. They showed up to the event on time and were very flexible. They set up and played wonderfully. They were in sink the entire the time. Olga’s voice is heavenly and Dave is a master on the keyboard. Our guests raved about the sweet sounds that permeated our brunch!

We wanted the apps and meals to be high end but not at high end prices and she made it happen! Also was super patient with all my changes. She really worked with us and our budget instead of up charging. And the night and food was flawless

Not only do the cocktails have to look and taste amazing, the experience has to be absolutely incredible. It is crucially important to us that everyone on our team is genuinely and authentically personable on top of being an exceptional mixologist.

Johnny came on late in the game as we had other bartenders fall through due to lack of communication and he crushed it. Communication was prompt and so helpful. He got us a shopping list based on what we were serving which was incredibly helpful and made our overwhelming last month of wedding prep so much less stressful. He was so easy to work with and our guests loved him and his crew. He even showed up early per our venue needs (we weren't even aware of this until our coordinator let us know after). Drinks were fantastic (A old fashioned) and he even jumped on board with our plan to ice some of our guests with great enthusiasm. Anyone planning a wedding/event knows how valuable it is to have vendors on board that make your life easier and don't add to the stress. Johnny went above and beyond this, our guests loved him, his crew, the drinks and he just added so much to the day. No regrets booking at all and can not recommend enough.

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $6,500
  • Serves Palos Verdes Peninsula, CA

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.

Hanna is truly exceptional! We could not have asked for a better person to capture our wedding day. When my now-husband and I first started searching for wedding photographers, we were drawn to Hanna for her immensely beautiful and versatile portfolio. We spoke over Zoom and felt immediately comfortable with her — she has such a calming presence, made us feel like we had been friends forever, and assured us that she would help our vision come to life. We didn’t have much photography knowledge — we knew we wanted to take some shots in a nature setting like a park, and that we wanted someone who could capture color, as our venue had a specific aesthetic with green and blue walls. Hanna provided the most wonderful guidance for our photos and our day — she scouted many locations around our venue for our wedding portraits, taking into account the proximity and the nature setting we wanted. When we picked one, Hanna went to the spot the week before at the exact time we’d be there, so she would know the specific lighting and locations that would best fit. She also, months in advance, made a timeline for us to help guide the day and ensure that we had a schedule to keep everything on track. This was SO helpful and made the day so much smoother. On the day of our wedding, Hanna couldn’t have been more magnificent. She made us feel so at ease, which was paramount on a day that had so many heightened emotions. We aren’t used to working with professional photographers and were initially nervous that we would feel awkward, but Hanna truly made us feel so calm, comfortable, and joyous. She made the entire experience SO fun, and multiple of our wedding guests commented on how kind she was to them. Now the photos…the PHOTOS. Within a week of our wedding Hanna sent us our sneak peeks — about 160 of them, which is far beyond what we expected. They are stunning. Truly, stunning. She has sent us a gorgeous mix of color, black and white, and film. Our wedding day felt like such a whirlwind and Hanna captured all the emotions and all the moments in ways that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. I can’t look at them without being transported back to that day and the specific happenings — from our first look to our first dance — and feeling so overcome with happiness. I can’t choose a favorite because they are all stunning (and all our friends and family keep telling us with how much they love our photos). I’m especially appreciative of Hanna scouting a spot right near our getting ready spot that we hadn’t seen before that looks like a forest, and having us pose there for truly magical pictures. We also have some night shots and some photos from the bar area at our venue that look so editorial and glamorous that I can’t believe it’s us. Trust me, work with Hanna and follow her guidance. She leads with thoughtfulness and intention and it shows. You will get to know a terrifically talented and kind person and your wedding photos will not only be aesthetically marvelous, but you will feel like you get to relive your wedding day every time you look at them. Hanna is THE BEST and we are so grateful to have had the honor of working with her.

Dolores was phenonemal! We had an outdoor wedding reception, and the venue only supplied the tables. Dolores and her crew did an outstanding job in setting up our guest tables, favor tables, cake table, gift table, candy table, and sign in Jenga table. We also had additional favors such as fans, heal savers, dancing shoes (flip flops), pashminas, and she set everything out just as we had envisioned it. If something went wrong, we had the confidence in her to make a decision to fix it, and she did. As weddings go, not everything goes as planned. It was a windy day, and our tall floral centerpieces were tipping over. She sent one of her team to go buy decorative rocks to hopefully stabilize the arrangements, but that didn't work. She then made a decision and rearranged the floral set up and it turned out beautifully. She did an exceptional job in coordinating with the other vendors, and our wedding reception turned out just as we dreamed of thanks to Dolores and her team. She's very easy to work with, she's fun, diligent in her work and when we have another big event, we are definitely hiring her again.

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!!

My name is Tonimari Gemeniano and people are my passion. I've always loved planning events, weddings being my favorite. I am very fulfilled at helping others through the planning process, especially in alleviating the stresses of planning. Even more so, I am driven to ensure the vision they have for one of the most important days of their lives, comes into fruition. It is always an honor, privilege, and joy to be a part of your wedding day!

Toni absolutely exceeded our expectations! There is not a single thing we would change about our experience working with her. For every planning meeting and correspondence, she was punctual, prepared, professional, and an absolute joy to work with. Because of her detailed planning and coordination, we both felt stress-free and every moment of our wedding day was absolutely perfect! We want to thank you so much again for everything you did for our wedding! We know for sure it wouldn't have turned out to be as perfect as it did without your help! Michelle & Zylo

I have been a makeup artist in Los Angeles for over 20 years. I have the honor of being a part in a woman’s favorite, most memorable day! My style of makeup is that so I can see the woman behind it. Not to cover , but enhance

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Mandy to do my wedding makeup and bridesmaid makeup was the best decision ever. I wanted 'soft glam' and she did it absolutely perfectly. I am super picky when it comes to makeup and it was so nice not having to stress the day of wedding because I knew after our trial, everyone would look amazing. We all felt so pretty and confident and that is why hiring a good & trusted makeup artist is so important. My wedding makeup photographed beautifully and my bridesmaids and mother were literally glowing, saying they've never felt more beautiful. I would recommend Mandy to any of my friends getting married because not only is she the best at what she does, but she is also super enjoyable and fun to work with.

True Vine Studio

  • Florist
  • Serves Palos Verdes Peninsula, 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.

I absolutely adore Kaylyn and True Vine. Not only was Kaylyn amazing to work with, but her floral work is absolutely breathtaking. She went above and beyond for our big day, completely blowing away our expectations and doing whatever she needed to make the floral experience stress free! I cannot recommend her enough!

Kenzie Kate Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,500
  • Serves Palos Verdes Peninsula, 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!!

Your wedding is our Masterpiece! We celebrate the love of ALL couples and create a unique experience to bring your dream wedding to life.

I could not have asked for a better wedding planning experience. Mia created a fun and easy space for us to work together and make my dreams into reality. She is responsive, detail-oriented, knowledgeable and creative. I am still in awe with the way everything turned out. It was smooth and extremely special, and I owe that to the Pastiche Event crew. A big perk to booking with Mia is that she has a decor inventory list that is complimentary. It really helped with cutting costs down!!

I am the CEO, Founder and Lead Planner fo DunniWeddings which began as a service to help people celebrate those moments in their lives that bring everyone together and create lasting memories, all without the associated planning stress.

Jumi of Dunni Weddings recently helped us plan our wedding and I cannot even begin to describe how amazing she was. She handled all of our venue and vendor communication, constructed our timeline for the day, organized our rehearsal & dinner, built out our seating chart with dietary restrictions/special accommodations, helped finalize all the details, and really made sure that everything and everyone was taken care of. I really appreciated the quick communication, check-ins, follow ups, and all the support she gave throughout our planning process. There were things I didn’t even think of or knew we needed to be doing for the wedding that she guided us through to help us make informed decisions. She made sure we were on track with our planning and that everything on our big day went smooth. When there were a few hiccups, she was able to quickly manage those situations like a true professional. Jumi really helped me manage my stress during the planning process, I couldn’t have done it without her. To all the brides out there, a wedding planner is a MUST and Jumi is your girl!! You won’t regret it! I can’t thank her enough helping make our wedding day so beautiful.

Katie & Jeremy were the exact duo we were looking for! They took our engagement photos on the beach which turned out beautifully! They were willing to travel, easy to communicate with, and comfortable to work with! They also shot 10 hours of photography on our wedding day & included videography!

They had a quick turn around time and an easy website to access and download our photos & video! Katie & Jeremy are kind, efficient, & produce great quality work! I plan to use them in the future for every life event that comes our way!

Heather gave us a personalized and affordable wedding photography package. She was helpful, timely, and supportive during our crazy wedding day. So much went wrong, but our photographers and flowers were some of the highlights that made our day amazing. The additional creative touch Heather brought went above and beyond our expectations. She brought confetti into the desert to highlight some of our post-first look photos and she brought champagne for a champagne pop with our bridal party. These little details made the experience all the more enjoyable. She also returned the photos quite fast! We will definitely recommend Heather for anyone getting married in the future.

They were thorough, meticulous, proactive, experienced, and polished in the quality of their work, ensuring our special day went off without a hitch. Their flawless coordination and execution, excellent vendor recommendations, and deep experience with our venue and local vendors allowed us to fully enjoy the process and our wedding day with zero stress. We are so grateful for the positive and seamless experience Dawn Mauberret Events provided. Highly recommended!
