When i find spare time i play apex legends or attend creative events. my guilty pleasure is reality tv and unsolved crime documentaries.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Justina as our wedding photographer, and she exceeded all of our expectations! Just looking at her work, we knew she was the one. From our first meeting, it was clear that Justina possesses incredible talent and a true passion for her craft. Her ability to capture the essence of every moment is unmatched. Throughout the planning process, Justina was exceptional in her communication. She took the time to understand our vision, preferences, and any specific shots we wanted. Her responsiveness and professionalism made us feel confident and relaxed, knowing we were in great hands. On our wedding day, Justina went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. Her attention to detail and creative approach were evident in every shot. She managed to capture not just the big moments but also the candid, heartfelt interactions that made our day so special (and were a huge priority to us). Her warm and friendly demeanor made it easy for us and our guests to feel comfortable in front of the camera. When we received the final photos, we were blown away by the quality and artistry. Each image was a masterpiece, reflecting the joy, love, and excitement of our celebration - my husband and I both got emotional going through them together. I truly never expected to see such joy captured in every moment of our day, and I am so grateful. Justina has a remarkable ability to tell a story through her lens, and we will cherish these memories forever. How lucky are we to have found her! If you're looking for a photographer who is not only incredibly talented but also genuinely cares about making your day unforgettable, Justina is the one. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

These intimate details hold immense significance to me. As your photographer, I bring a heartfelt and genuine perspective, ensuring that your wedding day is portrayed in a way that truly reflects you and preserves the memories you'll cherish forever.

We are so happy we chose Lucia to capture our elopement. Lucia is professional, fast to respond to emails and texts, helpful with decisions, accommodating to any requests, concerns, and excited to give advice. Duncan and I really wanted our photographer to capture our true emotion and to get candids of us, and Lucia DID THAT! The day felt blissful and a key point for us was that we got to enjoy the day without it feeling solely like a photoshoot which I think speaks to Lucias talent and confidence in her craft. She was good at giving guiding advice for posing without us feeling posed. I put together a Pinterest board and shot list which she really did a great job pulling inspiration from. The photos are stunning and the exact style we envisioned. Also, our sneak peak was huge and she got them to us very fast. If you are torn between photographers or are just starting your research, you're in very safe hands to stop here. We hope to continue reaching out to Lucia in the future when we start a family.

I am very lucky that I got Shelby to take our engagement photos in Central Park this past year. She helped me pick the right spot in the park and factored in all the variables that a guy would typically not think about for engagement photos. I live in Kansas City and worked with her virtually and she was awesome through the entire process. I never met Shelby in-person until the day of our engagement, and she was on-time and ready to get the shot when I went down on one knee. Her photos came out great and we are incredibly happy with them. We have already sent multiple copies to our relatives thanks to her reliable photo sharing portal. Shelby is kind, professional and courteous to work with. DO NOT PASS on her for your next big event photography needs. Thank you again Shelby!

Kimberly is an expert. And we would recommend her to anyone. My partner was a groomsmen in a wedding that Kimberly was the photographer for and he was so impressed by her presence and efficiency (not to mention we both loved her photography) that we immediately reached out when it came to our wedding.  Her ability to capture the best and sweetest moments without feeling like we were surrounded by cameras is truly a super power. We were floored by the incredible images she took. Not only did she manage the schedule based off of the photos we wanted to take, but her talent is evident in the countless pictures we have from our wedding weekend that look back on this special milestone. She captured the essence of our day in ways that felt natural to my partner and me -- and to us, that's the mark of an expert photographer.  Kimberly also balances this ability to wield a calm and warm energy while commanding a large room of people to get a photo together -- which is not easy. Her energy and grace is exactly what you need on a stressful day filled with places to be and schedules to follow. She was truly our favorite person to work with leading up to and during the weekend. Easy, efficient, communicative and most importantly kind.  Photos are important to look back on the day you've spent so much time preparing for and we would put our faith in Kimberly all over again for future events and endless recommendations to other couples. We are forever grateful for the beautiful pictures she took of us.

Weddings are a big deal. It is a celebration of you making an eternal commitment to the person that you love more than anything. You would go to the ends of the earth for them, just to make them happy. So why would you risk the celebration of that love on a bargain bin DJ? I have read the horror stories. Seen the Reddit posts. It would have been such a beautiful wedding, and amazing memory… if the DJ didn’t ruin the entire thing. With DJ Triplicate, what you receive is consummate professionalism. Service that goes above and beyond. One on one attention with time, care, and empathy. “Don’t let a cheap wedding DJ happen to you”

DJ Triplicate is a huge mentor to me. He's quick to give advice based on his vast experience and is always willing to help. The quality of his work was top-notch - and I've seen him provide an awesome, professional, smooth, and grooving performance that keeps guests dancing all night. Trey is a consistent DJ who always delivers on a great event, with legendary playlists and smooth mixing. I'd have him DJ any event, as he will never let you down. Highly recommend!

I was prepared to search high and low to find the perfect photographer, but Jessica found us! After attending a wedding expo she reached out and offered her services. We met for coffee and discussed our hopes and dreams for our upcoming wedding. There was an instant connection! I told Jessica wedding photos were at the top of my priority list, because they’re what lasts forever. I can look back on those photos and remember the excitement, happiness, and pure joy of marrying the man of my dreams. I told her I was looking for someone to capture the little moments along with the big. Jessica promised us everything we asked for and, man oh man, she delivered!!! I cannot speak highly enough of her. Every part of the process was made simple because of her organization and talent. Every communication we had was prompt, thoughtful, and respectful. She listened to our wishes, offered her expertise, and created unbelievable results!! Jessica and her assistant (Crystal) were fun to be around and made our sessions with them fly by. They made sure every detail was picture-perfect… even during our freezing cold outdoor engagement session. If anyone asks me for a photographer, Jessica is the name I give, every single time. She signed on to do our wedding, but we are now her clients for life because no one will compare to the incredible job she does. Let me squash any doubts you have and help you with the best decision you’ll make when it comes to finding a photographer… just hire Jessica Yahn!! We are forever grateful to have crossed paths with her!!

Our mission is to turn your inspiration into a stress-free, seamless celebration, allowing you to fully enjoy the journey to your dream day!

We used Destiny and her team as our coordinator for our wedding in August and we are so glad we did!! I literally cannot say enough nice things about Destiny - she’s extremely organized, reliable, detail oriented, and always made us feel like everything was under control and we didn’t need to worry. She went above and beyond leading up to our day, always checking up on me and willing to help where she could. Her enthusiasm and positivity made the difficult times of wedding planning feel way less stressful. When we had difficulties with a vendor just days before the wedding, she totally put my mind at ease and told me she’d work everything out — and she did! On our wedding day she was equally reliable and amazing and the whole day went really smoothly and we got to enjoy it without worrying and everything looked beautiful. I literally can’t imagine what our wedding day would’ve been like without Destiny, and I completely recommend her to anyone who wants to hire a coordinator that they can trust to think of every detail and make everything happen just the way you’d want it!!

Alissa is such a wonderful photographer. I was completely impressed by her professionalism, work ethic, and the gorgeous images she produces. She was fantastic at directing my groomsmen and bridesmaids when needed and she gave us fun prompts that created the best wedding photos. She was super quick with her turnaround time and always kept in contact with me throughout the whole process. I cannot recommend Sweet Bliss Media enough, and as you can see, her team's work speaks for itself:) We also used her for the engagement session and she was such a trooper because we had to move the session around due to inclement weather. She is super friendly, made us always feel comfortable, and overall is a lovely human being!

Bring on all the joy, laughter, tears, letting go and holding close. I want to capture these connections, so that you can have photos to hold in your hand and remind you what it felt like the day you were married. You deserve to celebrate without feeling as if you are on a daylong photoshoot — I will help you to really live your wedding day. Let's live your life celebrations and let go of “supposed to do.” If you find yourself craving a wedding day experience that is more enjoying the day and less about all day posing, you are in the right spot.

Hiring Kelly was absolutely one of the best decisions that we made for our wedding and we can’t recommend her highly enough. She spent so much time getting to know us before the wedding, and our photos very clearly reflect her attention to capturing what was important to us. We really wanted to see the joy and breadth of emotions of the day and wanted photos that reflected our wedding as vibrant and loving, and that shines through in every photo!! Kelly is also so personable and brings such a wonderful energy to all parts of the process which made us feel so comfortable and so happy to have her with us! In addition to creating a photography schedule that was invaluable and that we shaped the rest of the schedule around, she made sure to note people’s accessibility needs and to work with us closely on comfort for everyone as we had a lot of access needs. She answered every question we had happily and was just such a wonderful part of our day!! She also did our engagement photos at Great Falls and they turned out just so gorgeous. I had a lot of anxiety about how I would feel about the photos as a plus size bride and Kelly listened to my concerns and made me so comfortable and I’m so so thrilled with the photos and feel gorgeous in all of them, which I'm very grateful for!

Georgia is by far one of the sweetest people I have ever met. She has a mind for detail as well as big picture and you can see in every interaction her passion for her job and how much she truly cares about making your wedding journey and day feel like magic. She was quick to respond to any inquiry I had and helped me follow-up on any activities I may have been interested in. She was always there with a confirmation on next steps and a great list of options for any question I had. A lot of wedding planning can feel so overwhelming - with so many different categories to think about, and there being innumerous options to us in today's age - she was an absolute angel and saved me an enormous amount of stress, worry, and anxiety. She is the type of person that treats you like family and ensures that you get your day exactly how you imagined it. Georgia and I became quick friends through our wedding journey and I am so thankful she was there to help us every step of the way! 20/10 recommend her to anyone looking to have a stress-free day and someone to support you in every aspect of the journey.

The video was beautifully edited, perfectly capturing the essence and emotion of our wedding day.
