We had Lucas DJ our wedding in Holbox recently. It was originally scheduled for March of 2020, but we had to cancel and move to Jan 2022. He was a true professional and so wonderful! He made himself available for our new date and didn’t even change his rate (even though he very well could have and all our other vendors did). At the wedding, he was incredible and created the most amazing vibe on the dance floor! The most common comment of the night from everyone, including myself: “I have had to pee for hours but don’t want to leave and miss a song!” He also made the most beautiful remixes of Persian dance numbers and other bangers (I am Iranian and my husband is Irish Catholic). Every single guest was on the dance floor for every single minute. On a personal note, he is also just an awesome and nice person. The best money spent for our entire wedding. I can’t recommend him enough and hope to hire him for every party we ever have!

Where to start with Shelby! From the moment my fiance and I first met with Shelby, we knew she was our photographer. Shelby made us feel so comfortable from our first convo and that completely transferred to when we were front and center. We felt like we had one of our best friends behind the camera and our photos show that! The day was full of joy and Shelby captured it with seeming ease. Another plus, Shelby is not afraid to take charge of the room when things need to get done but still is kind and always made us feel totally on track!!

Hi, my name is Millie! I picked up a camera 11 years ago and I've been wholeheartedly devoted to this craft ever since. Through photography, I've come to understand that the meaningful connections I form with others hold a special significance for me and should be documented. My journey has naturally directed me toward wedding photography, enabling me to translate your love into art. To me, nothing compares to distilling love into photographs.

We are SO happy with our decision to work with Millie on our wedding. She was the best (and even more). Our photos are gorgeous, and we are so grateful for all of her amazing work leading up to and throughout our wedding weekend. Ahead of our wedding, Millie did a beautiful job on our engagement photos and then sent us the most beautiful photo care package with a gorgeous and thoughtful wedding planning book. As we got closer to our wedding, we felt relaxed because Millie had planned all of the details and made sure to know exactly what we wanted and desired for the big day (and then organized everything into a very detailed timeline). On our wedding, Millie was the perfect photographer, capturing every special moment and fitting in perfectly alongside our loved ones. I could go on and on. Millie is kind, professional and hardworking. She was always on time and met deadlines. I would recommend her to everyone for their photography needs. You won't be disappointed!

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.

Then, on our wedding day, they kept the dancefloor packed with their impressive performance and relentless energy (they even managed to get some of our shyest guests dancing!).

Hi! Congratulations on your engagement! I'm Arielle and I want to photograph your wedding! I'm a fun loving lady that's totally in love with love.

Rain or shine we're going to have the best day ever if you choose me to shoot your wedding. I grew up in Vermont and after traveling around in living in several different states I made my way back to Vermont where I posted up and started this wild photo business and I've never been happier to share my talent with you! I can't wait to meet you!

Hannah and Matt were so much fun to work with. They had a lot of creative ideas to get good footage, as well as did a great job of capturing what was naturally happening throughout the day. The final product they delivered was AMAZING. There were interviews with our wedding party, aerial shots of our venue, a dance compilation at the end, and most importantly to us, our entire ceremony, first dance, and all of our toasts. These are the things that could not be captured by photography alone, and we’re so happy we have a beautiful video we can watch back to remember the most important parts of our wedding day.

Truly, the honor is all mine. Thank you for considering me to document this luxuriously intimate wedding event.

April did such an amazing job of capturing every detail and emotion of our day! She was constantly on the lookout for the best lighting and backdrops and only pulling us into photos when everything was already scouted and setup, saving us more time to be with our guests and bridal parties! We had a lot of personal details we wanted captured during our day and she did an absolute fantastic job of seemingly being everywhere at once and getting gorgeous portraits of us, our guests, and all the personal touches. Traveling to three locations, dealing with a minor stepping-on-glass-with-bare-feet emergency, capturing every outfit change - she really did it all and we could not be more grateful for her talent, professionalism, and relaxed and engaging personality; it truly felt like a close friend was shooting our wedding, not a paid vendor. 10/10 would recommend!!!

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.

From the first chat I had with Bridget I knew we were going to be friends & that she was just the person I wanted to capture our wedding day. Her warmth, bubbly personality & passion for what she does shines through in each & every conversation with her. My husband hates having pictures taken, so getting to meet with Bridget for our engagement session gave him an idea of what to expect on our wedding day. We both genuinely enjoyed the engagement session & left feeling so confident in having chosen her to be our wedding photographer. Flash forward to our wedding day, Bridget exceeded any & all expectations. Her creative eye, her excitement & genuineness all blended together to make the perfect person to have by our sides all day. From the second Bridget got to the venue, her energy & happiness were contagious. Talk about a hype girl! She made me feel like a bridal vision the entire day & she was undoubtedly the right choice for a wedding day photographer. We received countless compliments from family, bridal party members and guests about her. We received sneak peaks very quickly after our wedding (& there were SO many more than we expected). We received our full gallery in the allotted time provided in the contract & they did not disappoint! I haven’t been able to stop looking at the pictures since we’ve received them & it further reinforced that she was the best person to capture memories we will cherish for a lifetime. If you are in the market for a photographer, especially for your wedding day, hire Bridget & I promise you will not be disappointed! Bridget’s organization, attention to detail, talent & personality made the process seamless. Not only was Bridget by my side throughout our whole wedding day but she has become my friend & I simply adore her. We plan to work with Bridget for years to come!

If I'm being honest, when we started the wedding planning process and needed to figure out what elements of the day we wanted to prioritize and spend money on, florals didn't start off at the top of our list. We weren't sure how much we cared about that aspect of the wedding and certainly didn't have much of a vision for what we wanted so we had no clue where to even start... And then our wedding planner connected us with Sara. Not only was she a genuine pleasure to work with, but she is SO unbelievably creative and talented. She listened to our ideas and shared her own without ever pushing us to do anything we didn't like, and the more it started to come together the more excited I got. When our wedding day came and I finally saw it all come to life, I cried. Every single detail was more perfect and beautiful than I could have ever imagined, and it truly was one of my favorite things about our wedding.

Hullo! So you're gettin' hitched (YaaY!), but you’re not super into the idea of the overly-manicured wedding. A+ for you, because this is not your parents’ wedding photography. I'm a farm kid who floats between the journalism and art worlds. I love telling stories as much as I love listening to the stories of others. I’m the type of person who makes up musicals for my own amusement and nurses a soft spot for sci-fi and fantasy. If I’m not taking photos, I’m usually dancing. Or cooking. It’s possible I may have a baking addiction and try to mitigate the damage by forcing the goods on loved ones.

Celia at The Lovely Lens was an absolute GEM!! Our wedding was not the typical / traditional ceremony-- on purpose! Leading up to the big day, Celia kept lines of communication open (so helpful for planning) and was 1000% supportive of our special day being so...well, special! She was such a total champ while capturing every moment in the pouring rain. She was fully prepared for the weather & didn't miss one beat! My partner and I instantly felt at ease and loved our time together with her. She encouraged us to be our authentically goofy selves! Her presence was so warm, her energy was delightful, and her work was STUNNING! Seriously, I'm obsessed with the photos! Not only do we have incredible images from this amazing day, but we also have wonderful memories with Celia.

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!

Choosing Rima as our wedding photographer was one of the easiest and best decisions we made. She is exceptionally professional and proficient, while still being kind and calming. She knows exactly how to get shots that work, without making you feel like you're posing uncomfortably or being micromanaged. For both our engagement session and our wedding day, it felt like Rima was able to capture a perfect mix of "candids" where she just lets you play around and do what is natural, and posed photos. Also, on our wedding day both her and Fernando were such calming presences that we felt at ease, were able to laugh, and we knew we wouldn't be overwhelmed having the focus on us all day. She was also ridiculously prompt when communicating and delivered our photos so quickly!! We cannot recommend her enough!

There are lots of good vendors out there, but there are very few FANTASTIC ones. Cassie + Alex are two of the few. Even after being married a few years, we are still in touch with them and honestly feel like WE were the lucky ones to have them work with us. There was a decent amount of day-of travel and lots of logistics we had to hammer out with them and they could not have been more accommodating to us. Of course they have their style, but Cassie + Alex take a generous amount of time to REALLY get to know you and what you are hoping to capture with their photos. Take them up on their charcuterie/dinner invite and I promise you you will leave feeling like you have two new friends attending your wedding- who also happen to be amazingly talented photographers. These are the type of people who not only remind you to slow down and enjoy your big day by forcing you to stop and take in certain moments; but also notice that you haven't eaten and will go grab you some snacks in between pictures. You will trust them enough to safeguard heirloom cake toppers, but also be impressed in their problem solving skills if someone starts eating your cake before you take your cake cutting pic (true story they are magicians with camera angles). Cassie is especially good at wrangling family and friends for group pics- and Alex is an absolute ninja with the dance floor candids. In terms of delivery of goods, who delivers you sneak peeks of your gallery in a blog the NEXT DAY? Cassie + Alex. The vendors they work with for your prints, albums and even the flash drive you get with all of your images are the best quality and worth every penny. Lastly and most importantly- they are the creators of your memories. Having lost some some family members since our wedding, the pictures we have from our wedding that truly captured their spirits, celebrating in such joy, have turned out to be our biggest surprise investment. At the time the thought would have never crossed my mind, but today some of their pictures are among my most prized possessions. I truly could go on and on about these two- but go ahead and meet them yourself- and you will totally get what I mean.

My beauty journey started when I was about 4 years old.That’s when I helped myself to my mother’s lipsticks—which weren’t easy to come by in those days! I decided that day -and all days- should be Halloween, and I painted my face accordingly. As I grew, my love affair with makeup intensified. When I was a teenager, I would wear heavy, smoky eye makeup. I’ve grown out of that stage, having come to appreciate natural beauty. It’s natural beauty that I focus on now. But don’t get me wrong! I still love a wide palate of colors and working on creative photoshoots, pictorial projects, and editorial pieces.

Lindsey is truly so kind, professional, and talented. We booked Lindsey only about 6 months before our wedding after our original photographer needed to cancel. From the start Lindsey was so sweet and understanding, and made sure we were a good fit - even when there was a bit of a time crunch to find an available photographer. Lindsey offered a complimentary mini "engagement" shoot so we could get to know each other before the wedding day. She arrived on time and stayed from getting ready to very close to the end of the night. 90% of the time we didn't even know she was there capturing candid moments. We felt completely comfortable, even when prompted for different poses and angles. Lindsey kept saying "trust me it feels awkward but it looks beautiful!" And she was definitely right! Our photo gallery came out better than we imagined and I've never loved photos of myself more than these. Within a week we received a large sneak peek gallery, more photos after a month or 2, and our full gallery within 3 months after the wedding. We were even offered another full gallery of extra photos to purchase (and of course we did cause they are SO good). Heart Speak Visuals is EXTREMELY reasonable for both the quantity and quality of their work. Nothing but amazing things to say!

We both absolutely loved the way you handled everything on the day and talked about it many times. Your presence was joyful and calming and fit right in. You have a natural intuitive sense of where to be and how, which we really noticed and appreciated. Dave made a comment about how the best cinematographers have a quality that is hard to describe but that has to do with connection to others, reading situations, and holding space…Not to mention how great your patience and help was with all the logistical items that we were too overwhelmed to be on top of ourselves!! We planned to plug in the drives and quickly click through the footage yesterday to make sure it all worked ok technically, but we ended up spending an hour and a half glued to the screen in tears!!

Danny did our wedding 10 years ago. He was new and we trusted him completely. His attention to detail is awesome. He is very personable, profession and strives to deliver an exceptional finished product. Every time we watch our wedding video, I still get sappy. It's amazing the special little moments a videographer and photographer catch, that you didn't even realized happened until you see the final product. As a wedding vendor myself, I always recommend hiring a videographer for your event, you won't regret it. I would highly recommend Danny if you get the chance.

One of the most important aspects of a photo is the emotion it conveys. While I have years of training and experience, photographing love cannot be reduced to lighting and angles. ​ Well before your special day. I hear my client's love story. This helps me create eye-catching images that portray the kind of affection that is unique to each couple. I pride myself in being a storyteller-photographer.

I am a makeup artist and have worked with Andre for many years. She is always on time, knows exactly what she is doing is great at directing the team when necessary and her work delivered is amazing.

With more than 40 years of collective industry experience between us, we have earned a reputation for architecting extraordinary events built upon a foundation of bespoke service. We focus on quality over quantity, taking on only a select number of mutually aligned clients each year. This allows us to protect our creative integrity, and deliver the caliber of design and production our couples truly deserve.

Natalie and the team at Faye Fern Creative did all the planning and design work for me and my wife's wedding this past month, and they did a PHENOMENAL job. First off, I think communication is key when you're planning an event of this size and magnitude, and Natalie was incredibly easy to communicate with. She was always just a text or call away, and she never made me feel like she was rushing me if I had any questions or concerns or wanted to flesh out the details of a certain issue. She was always patient, level-headed, receptive to criticism, and willing to discuss any issue whatsoever. The communication overall pre-wedding was very on-point. Secondly, Natalie's talent for designing and creating a timeless beautiful aesthetic is second to none. Her taste is impeccable, she has an attention to detail that you will deeply respect, and she will help you create a cohesive design element that will have you and your guests blown away. From the ceremony design all the way down to the drapes and the cutlery, Natalie has a keen eye for creating a gorgeous yet comfortable/welcoming design. Everything she does is tasteful and creates that special atmosphere that makes a wedding so unforgettable and emotional. She will definitely help bring your vision to life, and if you're not really interested in coming up with a design element for your wedding or don't know much about it, just know that you're in amazing hands with Natalie. Lastly, I just want to comment on Natalie's work ethic and dedication. From the first call we had with her all the way to the end of the wedding, I could trust that Natalie and her team were doing EVERYTHING in their power to make our wedding weekend the most special few days possible. Natalie has a deep passion for the work she does, and she will work tirelessly to bring your vision to life. Our wedding day was easily one of the greatest days of our lives, and that was in large part due to Natalie and her team's amazing work and preparation. I highly recommend Natalie and The Faye Fern Creative team for wedding planning and creating the most unforgettable wedding for you and your partner!

Christian provided an outstanding service to my husband and his five groomsmen for our wedding! He personally attended to all of the details for our event and arrived early to ensure everything went smoothly according to the timeline for the wedding. We were getting ready in a hotel room and Christian brought music, candles, and an essential oil diffuser to turn a regular room into a spa-like atmosphere. The service was above and beyond a regular haircut and shave. The guys loved the hot towel facial, skin mask, and bourbon. They all said they wished they could be pampered this way everyday! Christian is not only talented, but his warm personality, sense of humor, and professionalism made everyone feel comfortable and have a wonderful morning. I highly recommend Doorbell Barbers for any service. Thank you Christian!

Made it easy for us by the way he direct us. My husband and I aren’t models or ever modeled before make he make sure our video shoot isn’t too scripted, just natural, playful and romantic.

With over a thousand weddings under our collective belts, we've photographed and filmed weddings of every shape and size imaginable. We can't wait to document your wedding as well!

I could not have imagined our wedding without Duet. Not only was the quality of their work was truly remarkable, but they were the most professional vendor you will come across. They were personable, realistic, and truly accommodating and understanding of the details we laid out for them. Hanel, the studio manager, really helped structure our day's timeline and he was integral for helping everything run smoothly. Mike, our main photographer, was so masterful with his lighting and he really went above and beyond for our engagement photoshoot and wedding day as well! The staff had the mindset of prioritizing our needs as the couple first and foremost, which I really appreciated when there are a lot of differing opinions going on leading up to the day. There were so many of our loved ones who saw the photos that commented unprompted to us that our photographers were stellar and my husband and I could not agree more.

Hi, I'm Jaci Berkopec! A self portrait of me would include a frozen pizza, caesar salad bag, and a bottle of white wine. But more importantly I am a wedding, lifestyle and adventure elopement photographer based out of NYC. Weddings and elopements are one of my passions because witnessing love and marriage is one of the most beautiful things we can witness. When shooting with me, expect to have tons of fun and lots of laughs because I like to be weird! Life is too short to be normal! I photograph all types of love.

Jaci is really incredible. She's so talented, super professional and fun! It's important that you're comfortable with your photographer, especially on your wedding day. She allows you and your partner to relax, enjoy taking photos and let your true selves shine. We trusted her completely and loved having her by our side taking photos. She allows you to be yourself and still make you look incredible. In addition to making you feel great, she's so creative with locations and the photos are works of art. My partner and I didn't know we could look that good! We took photos with Jaci during COVID and while that added another layer of difficulty, Jaci didn't miss a beat. She was still able to instruct us while keeping distant and really made us feel comfortable. When we got the photos back we were so excited and honestly, surprised at how amazing they came out. They were better than ever expected. HIRE JACI! She will exceed your expectations. She's worth every penny (and even more!). Thank you Jaci!

We're an LGBT owned company and we are so so so passionate about making sure everyone feels represented in a sometimes white-washed straight appearing industry, we love inclusivity. Our main goal is you having the best stress-free and FUN wedding photo/video experience.

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! If you’re thinking about hiring Natura Collective, then stop thinking and just say yes! Christian and Emilio are out of this world—we’re talking complete creative geniuses. We hired them for our wedding photography, and they also did our engagement shoot. From our initial conversations, we knew these guys were the real deal: funny, compassionate, down to earth, and truly in love with their job. They brought a passion and energy to our wedding day that is honestly indescribable. They captured so many beautiful moments for us, I’m convinced we’re going to need a War and Peace sized photo album to put them in! They captured every moment of our day beautifully: from candid photos of everyone getting ready to close ups of of all of the details to the day to formal group shots and amazing and creative action shots of our dance floor and everything in between. We are a mixed race couple/family, and they knew how to light and capture absolutely everyone beautifully. They are fantastic at their jobs, as they are intuitive and naturally bring out the best in people, which translates into gorgeous, glowing photograph. They are also just great people themselves, which is important since they were such a big party of our day. Getting to know them throughout this process has been its own benefit.

At first I was nervous to work along another shooter other then my friend. Her and I did not know each other and she’s been at this business far longer then I have so it was definitely intimidating at first. But after the first hour shooting under her I knew it was a good fit to work with her as her second. Throughout the weddings we’ve work, a great friendship has been formed and I’ve learned a lot from her as a photographer and how to better my business in the wedding industry. Her quality of work and experience make her stand out among the rest! If you need a photographer for your special day she is the best to work with! Very understanding, helpful, fun, and amazing!

Hiring Kara as our wedding photographer was possibly the best decision we made for our wedding. She was incredibly flexible with scheduling, both with our engagement photoshoot (navigating around some rainstorms!) and postponing our wedding date due to the pandemic. On our wedding date, Kara was the life of the party bringing excitement, joy, and a calm presence all at the same time. All of our friends and family have said how wonderful our photographers were and how they have never seen any vendor quite like her. To top it all off, our photos are absolutely incredible and a dream come true. She captured moments on our wedding day that I thought only existed in my memory.
