Awarded Best of Zola
We had an amazing experience with The Hook Club for our wedding. Dan and his team were so easy to work with, and their 5-piece DJ band was the perfect, fun switch-up from a traditional band for our June wedding at Greenpoint Loft. We also had a ceremony guitarist and a saxophonist with tracks for the cocktail hour, which added great touches to the day. The uplights they brought for the room were priced very well and created a beautiful atmosphere. The music planning worksheet they provided was incredibly helpful, and they offered valuable advice on the timeline and flow of the reception, which was a huge help. They were fun to work with, and on the night of the wedding, they absolutely crushed it. The music was fantastic, they kept the vibes high, and their crowd engagement was excellent. We highly recommend The Hook Club for any event. They made our wedding unforgettable!

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
We were extremely pleased with Gage's work as the videographer for our 2021 wedding. He did an outstanding job capturing countless special moments that we love looking back on. Gage was easy to work with, and we appreciated his clear communication before, during, and after the wedding. If you're in search of a videographer for your wedding or any other special event, we highly recommend his services.

I had the pleasure of working with Rachel & Heather for our wedding, and they truly made us feel like royalty. From start to finish, their professionalism, talent, and warmth exceeded all our expectations, making our special day even more unforgettable. Consultation and Trial: From our first meeting, Rachel impressed us with their thorough consultation process. She took the time to understand my personal style, preferences, and the overall theme of our wedding. The trial session was a wonderful experience where I could see her and Heather's skills firsthand. They were patient, attentive, and open to feedback, ensuring that every detail was perfect. I really appreciated the fact I could get both my makeup and hair done with the same company, and that my trial was included in the overall price! On the wedding day, Rachel and Heather worked their magic. Their attention to detail were evident. The makeup was flawless without feeling heavy or overdone, my bridesmaids and my mom and now husband's mom all decided to try lashes for the first time :). The hairstyles were elegant and held up beautifully throughout the day, despite hours of dancing and celebrating. Each look was personalized and perfectly suited to each member of the bridal party. The team arrived on time and prepared, which made the morning of our wedding stress-free and enjoyable. They managed their time efficiently, ensuring everyone was ready well before the ceremony. Their calm and friendly demeanor helped ease any pre-wedding jitters, creating a relaxed and fun atmosphere. We couldn’t have asked for a better hair and makeup team for our wedding. Rachel & Heather made us feel beautiful, confident, and special on one of the most important days of our lives. Their talent, professionalism, and warmth made the entire experience wonderful.

They say a dream is a wish your heart makes, and Erica was truly a dream to have at my wedding, not only as a musician, but as a warm and kind presence. The very first time I spoke with Erica I just fell in love with her warmth, kindness, professionalism and confidence. We laughed so much on the first call I knew immediately I had to hire her. After the call, my fiancé said that musician you spoke with made you so happy you better just hurry up and hire her. I never even spoke to another musician…I knew none could even come close to Erica. I hired Erica in July for my December Disney wedding. I never felt rushed, overwhelmed or anything stressful. Erica is so kind, her voice is ethereal and she knows how to read a room. She even recommended an amazing officiant to me when I was struggling to find one. Erica was the hit of my wedding, when she started singing to open the ceremony a bird flew up to her, perched next to her and sang with her. Even the bird wanted to be close to her and felt her kindness. This was the most beautiful moment and my guests are still talking about it. I wanted a Disney/Christmas wedding theme and Erica delivered in every aspect. She was also beautifully dressed and looked gorgeous (nobody wants sloppy vendors lol). Erica created the perfect atmosphere by intertwining romantic Disney music as well as Christmas songs. Erica made the wedding a dream come true. The fact that she is well known also helps, as most vendors and venues love working with her. She learned a few new songs for me and worked seamlessly with my other vendors to create the perfect, yes absolutely perfect, day. Thank you Erica! You are a true star!

Rebeca and Andrew were great! From the moment we first reached out to them about booking, they have always been very genuine and helpful. Rebeca was very good with remembering what shots & poses I wanted. We ran behind on timing due to other reasons so I was worried we wouldn't get all the pictures done in time before the ceremony but they were great at making sure we got what we wanted. We got over 100 sneak peak photos a few days after the wedding and so far we love everything! Cannot wait to see more and would recommend R&A to anyone! Also highly recommend doing your engagement photos with them as it was a great way to get to know them & get comfortable before the big day!

Finding the right videographer was incredibly important to us because we wanted more than just photos. We wanted to capture the voices, the laughter, the tears, the movement—every emotion that made our day unforgettable. At first, we struggled to find a connection with the work we saw, but after months of searching online, we came across Alex V Films, and his work left a lasting impression on us. It was exactly what we had been searching for. From the moment we met Alex, his warm personality and passion for his craft put us completely at ease. He took the time to understand our vision, showing incredible attention to detail and truly listening to what we wanted. His talent for capturing not only the big moments but also those small, candid interactions brought everything to life in a way we could only dream of. Alex was able to beautifully weave our vows into the movement and storytelling of our film, bringing each word to life. In my vows, I shared a memory about my papa. As he approached his final days, I asked him, “Papa, what can you tell me about love?” He gently touched his chest and said, “You feel it in your heart.” Alex captured this moment with such care; as I spoke the words, “my papa touched his chest,” the video transitioned to my wife, sliding her hand gently down my chest, mirroring my papa’s gesture. It was as if he had breathed life into our vows, capturing not just the words, but the emotion and legacy behind them. Alex made the experience of working with him enjoyable. Throughout the process, his communication was top-notch, and professionalism shone through every step of the way. He was attentive of our needs and made the process easy. Alex didn’t just record our day—he captured its essence. Every look, every laugh, every precious detail we wanted to hold onto is now a part of a beautiful memory we’ll cherish for a lifetime. These are moments that photos alone could never fully capture; they’re filled with emotions that will be felt and connected to for years to come. At the beginning of this process, Alex was a stranger. As we got to know him we felt as though he became a friend. We’re forever grateful to have found Alex, who created more than just a video—he created a keepsake of our love and joy that we will cherish for a lifetime.

We hired Ryan for our August 2024 wedding and he was fantastic to work with. We really wanted our wedding film to represent us as a couple, and so the music was incredibly important to us.

Kristen's communication is clear, prompt, and honest- I so appreciated her insight through the wedding planning process and especially in developing the timeline.

Wow can’t say enough amazing things about this photographer, he truly was one of the highlights of our wedding. Don’t walk to book him run! He was super focused, detail orientated, bilingual, fun and laid back. He captured so many incredible behind the scene moments and my family kept saying we didn’t even see him take that picture. We were nervous about not knowing how to pose. He made us so comfortable and had amazing poses. He captured intimate moments of our families reactions during the ceremony, speeches and partying. He helped the day flow so well and we couldn’t believe how amazing the pictures were. The turn around time for the pictures was also super fast. We had a bad experience with a photographer prior who ended up being a scammer and he truly saved our wedding day!! Thank you!

I met Thalia in a professional setting and after meeting her, we connected on social media and for YEARS I knew I wanted to work with her in some capacity (ideally my wedding :)). Fast forward to getting engaged this year, I had the opportunity to hire her to photograph our city hall wedding. The photographs were everything I imagined and more but what was even better was experiencing what being in front of her camera felt like. She truly has a gift for making you feel comfortable, forget that she’s there, while still providing guidance when needed. Thalia is quick on her feet and knew how to maximize our time with her when plans on our timeline had to shift a little. She asked important questions prior to our ceremony and offered great suggestions when we needed them. She also offered solutions when I got a little carried away with my vision and started dreaming up a photo shoot that would just push our time limits (which I appreciated). If you love her work and her images, I promise you won’t regret your decision of hiring her!

Hey, I'm Mary! It's nice to meet you. Summing up who I am in an "about me" is always difficult. What you must know: (1) I'm a nerd.

My husband and I hired DJ Mast Productions for our November 2 wedding at Cameron Estate Inn. We heard of him through a friend and then later found out he was actually on CEIs preferred vendor list as well! From the moment of our first video call, Josh made everything so fun and seamless. He is a great communicator, super friendly and fun, and phenomenal at his job. He kept the party going and everything went seamlessly with microphones for the ceremony as well as the reception. We would absolutely hire Josh again if we ever need another DJ. Thanks for everything!!!

My name is Morgan Elise, and I have had a camera in my hand since I was around nine years old. I specialize as a storyteller & documentarian photographer. Nothing brings me more joy than capturing moments you don’t necessarily see… but I do. I am constantly looking for those quiet moments, genuine smiles, laughs, hugs, kisses, etc. I want to tell YOUR story as authentically as I can. My work has heavily been influenced by my intuition and empathic gifts, history, vogue, literature- mostly Jane Austen, and poetry. Before every session, I create a story of poses for each client, carefully curated for each person’s personal story.

From the moment we booked Morgan Elise Photography, her communication was efficient, quick, and extremely helpful. She answered our many questions about photography and made us feel at ease. She listened to all of our requests and was incredibly flexible throughout the day. The quality of her work was incredible. She was so thorough and captured every moment perfectly. Our family photos went by with ease, allowing our guests to fully enjoy cocktail hour. Every guest we've spoken to has raved about how wonderful and energetic Morgan was. She listened to our thoughts and executed our vision flawlessly. We are absolutely obsessed with our wedding photos!

Hi! I'm Sarah. Congratulations on taking the next step in your wedding planning! Choosing to work with me earns you more than just a photographer; you get a hype-girl, a dress fluffer, a confidant and a new best friend. Since we are now future besties, here's what you should know about me: My love for portraiture stems from the joy it brings me to make others feel beautiful. Few things make me feel as giddy as photographing weddings, engagements & proposals, and I can't wait to capture the next stage of your love story. My strengths lie in natural lighting, illuminating colors, and catching the candid moments that make you, you.

Awarded Best of Zola
There is not enough good things we can say about Sarah! From day 1, she had great communication before the proposal while deciding the perfect location and how we would meet up with her. She executed flawlessly and I never saw her until the ring was on my finger even though she followed us for a bit before the big moment. She made us feel so comfortable for the photoshoot after and was willing to go to a few different spots with us all while carrying all of our stuff so it wouldn’t be in our pockets for the pictures. We received the sneak peeks the next day and were blown away with how well they turned out, she nailed it!! She got the big “I do” moment which was most important and then captured so many other sweet moments right before and after that I will forever be so grateful we can relive because of her photos. The best thing about her is that you can feel the joy coming out of the screen when you look through her galleries. So many people have raved over how well our engagement photos turned out. Everyone should book Sarah, she is so great at what she does!!

I found Leah on Facebook when she replied to a post I had made about searching for wedding photographer. She stuck out to me and I’m so glad we had her for our wedding. She was so friendly and made me feel so beautiful in the photos we took. We got our photos back super quick and they are stunning. She was very efficient, on time and made everyone feel very relaxed and comfortable when the nerves were high. We had some big group photos and she made sure to get everyone in and controlled the chaos perfectly. I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer.

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.

Diana Marie Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding day. From the very beginning, Diana's communication style was open, professional, and timely - she was always checking in to make sure our day was going as we had imagined. The quality of her work is truly exceptional, with a clean, timeless, and emotional style that captured all the special moments beautifully. Diana knows the importance behind wedding photos - they aren't just a social media dump, but rather the memories we'll cherish for years to come. She reminded us to take in the little things, and that thoughtfulness really shines through in the final product. We couldn't recommend Diana Marie Photography enough for any couple looking for a talented, dedicated photographer to document their big day.

With photography, I don't say "I have to go to work" I say "I get to!" I've been behind the camera for over 8 years now and have enjoyed every moment of it. My goal is not to gain a portfolio but new friends, and I do everything I can for my friends. I like to make sure with every couple that I'm finding the best way to serve them. I want every step of the way to feel fun and free and to take away the stress of wedding planning. Getting you beautiful photos and helping you relive your day is what I'm here for!

Awarded Best of Zola
Caden was fantastic to work with! He went out and scouted several areas, but was also flexible when we requested a specific venue location for our elopement. Caden captured so many precious moments and truly took into consideration our vision and what was most important to us. I wasn’t even aware as he was all over the place capturing gorgeous candid shots. We’re obsessed with the end results. The pictures perfectly capture the mood/vibe of eloping in the mountains and the pure joy that follows. Also great at posing suggestions and making you comfortable in front of the camera!

Awarded Best of Zola
My biggest stress during wedding planning was finding a MUA since I normally don't wear makeup. Janna was referred by my planner two acquaintances and I 1000% get why. She is professional, personal, talented, and multifaceted. I received many compliments well into the night on how good my makeup still looked after taking outdoor photos on a hot Aug day and dancing the night away. Janna made me feel like an elevated version of myself while also feeling like I had little to no makeup on. I could not recommend her enough especially to any brides who are more timid when it comes to makeup

What if your photos actually looked and felt like you? Picture yourself 10 years from now on your wedding anniversary looking back at your wedding album with tears welling up in your eyes as you relive your day. Your wedding should not feel like a performance. Let go of boring wedding traditions, think outside of the box and create something unique that has never been done before. Whatever the perfect day looks like for you, why shouldn’t that be your wedding day? I am more than your wedding photographer, I am your guide, biggest fan, and the curator of your love story, I will also be the one tearing up from behind my lens.
