What can I say? Jenni is a humble and kind person. She does her best at her job. 100% professional. My husband and I had our first meeting with Jenni and we felt a match with her quickly. Afterwards we had our fall engagement pictures. We had the best pics ever ! everyone told us what beautiful pics we had, and many good comments from everyone. Jenni and her team do their best at what they do, they are very professional. My husband and I felt very comfortable and happy to have been able to do this process with her and her team.

I cannot say enough great things about King!!!!!! He is truly the best photographer you can work with in the Tampa area. He covered my wedding, and he was a delight to work with. 1. He is very timely in his correspondence and very professional. He has a contract that he follows to a T so you know you are getting absolutely everything you asked for. 2. He is so sweet and moves around your wedding like a guest. He talks to people around the wedding and isn't just a person with a camera. He really does a great job integrating himself into the wedding. 3. HIS PHOTOS TURN OUT STUNNING!!!!!!! You will be BLOWN away by the quality an the artistry of King. He may look like he is just snapping pictures, but he is doing way more than that! He is working a vision and capturing your special event in a way I cannot explain. Check his portfolio. Nothing but amazing things to say and truly no post will encapsulate how thankful I am to have chosen King for my wedding!

  • Serves Rural Retreat, VA for additional fees

Hi! I’m photographer with a strong passion for documenting love stories. I believe in allowing the natural flow and emotions ofthe day unfold on its own; capturing real unscripted moments thatcelebrate the beauty of each couple's unique love story. My ability toblend into the background, while still effortlessly capturing everyimportant moment, ensures a genuine and organic representation ofyour wedding day.I fell in love with the artistic charm of film photography that bringsa unique and nostalgic quality to your photos. And by combining that with digital imagery, I create a collection of photographs that are both captivating and timeless.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiba removed any stress I had about photos as a nervous bride who did not feel confident or comfortable being in front of a camera all day. She spent time getting to know us and made sure we were able to capture amazing, memorable photos, without losing sight of the actual point of the day and party we were there to enjoy. Multiple times she seamlessly adapted our shot plan on-the-fly to let us have more time to be with guests or have a moment to ourselves when she sensed we needed it. ALSO she was a baby whisperer with our flower girl and turned frowns into smiles and I'm still not sure how she did that. Highly recommend Hiba!

I love capturing the unseen, messy, and perfectly imperfect photos that you never even knew you wanted. I live for those emotive, raw, storytelling moments. I take a documentary approach to my work; My style is candid and my focus is authentic connection through my images. If I were to describe my style; VIBRANT | RICH | BOLD+COLORFUL.

When I say Jeny is the best, I mean she is THE BEST. I reached out to her to capture my elopement and she was immediately willing to join us on our adventure. She even had many ideas for locations, despite it being a destination shoot. It was clear that she spent time on researching the destination, which was so thoughtful. I loved her creativity and direction during the shoot. We both felt very comfortable. Now, the photos themselves, were AMAZING. I love how she was able to capture everything. She also provided a quick turn around time for our sneak peek photos and the entire album! We will never use another photographer!

The things I cared about, he cared about. When we weren't sure how to handle certain aspects of the day, he came full of suggestions and ideas. He was never pushy and was a gracious reminder that it was OUR day and OUR decision. He was the perfect balance of getting things done and allowing us to enjoy the moments. Our day flowed perfectly and I never had to think about where to go or what to do next because Andrew had it all covered. Not once did a vendor or guest have to come up and ask me a question because Andrew handled it all . We got to be fully PRESENT and ENJOY our wedding day which truly is the best gift.

Photography truly has a full grip on my soul– I love EVERYTHING about capturing special moments to be forever held in time! I consider my style to be way more candid, as I truly adore capturing an authentic experience that is almost tangible to the person viewing the photo.

Most importantly, the quality of their work is stunning. We recently received a preview of some of our photos and were brought to tears by the beautiful images capturing our special day. Shannon and Ally have a true talent for capturing emotional moments without ever getting in the way.

With Kaity Campbell Events, you will have a truly luxurious customer experience from the moment you sign your contract all the way up to your event day, and even beyond. We believe that every wedding should be a reflection of your unique love story, and we are here to ensure that every detail is perfectly tailored to your desires. Our passion for creating unforgettable experiences, combined with our industry expertise, allows us to curate a seamless and stress-free wedding day that exceeds your expectations. Being able to create an event that is truly yours, and has all the elements you care about, is why I started doing what I do.

Kaity did a great job, especially considering all the uncertainty of bad weather (my ceremony was outdoors) we had to all deal with. She always had an upbeat and positive attitude the whole time, which I know can be very difficult to do around my family. She definitely would just roll with all the punches to keep us on track. I was anxious the entire day, but Kaity reassured me that she had everything under control and I knew I could trust her. She even went out of her way to get me and my husband little care packages on the day of, with inspiring notes. The only hiccups I actually noticed was with announcements and speeches, because the volume and echo was not great, so people didn't know when things were actually happening, so I wish we could've told the DJ sooner to fix the issue. We had also wanted to have our dinners boxed up, because my husband and I were both too anxious and excited to really eat, so our food ended up being thrown away, plus we didn't receive the top tier of our wedding cake to save for the tradition thing (but my guess is because they served it all to the guests). Unfortunately, at the end of the night, we were super rushed to get everything out of the building, because of the time and the pouring rain- I was running around barefoot in my dress while my husband was passed out in the car, and I was one of the few trying to get everything packed and cleaned up. However, Kaity and her husband really helped us out by collecting all the left items and holding onto them for us until the next day. She kept in contact, since at least a month beforehand, to make sure we had everything in order and sent her all the vendor contacts , so she could be included with all the day-of plans. She really did go above and beyond to make sure I had the best day possible, and I really appreciated that from her. I would definitely hire her again.

I never once had to worry and stress about photos. Day of the wedding, she completely killed it. She was still her happy self but was able to organize us and snap some amazing photos. She worked with me on some odd family and friend dynamics and eliminated any worries I had. She did a fantastic job of catching the perfect small moments, some of which I didn’t even know she was capturing.

I bought my first DSLR camera in 2004 when my now wife, Tracey, and I were taking a cruise to Alaska. For a monumental trip like this, I HAD to get an amazing camera. Those 8.2 megapixels with nine four points had me in LOVE. Ever since then, the ability of a photograph to be able to freeze time; freeze an emotion; freeze a memory has kept me addicted. Whether it’s getting a great angle, finding light that tells the story, or capturing the true personality of someone; it all brings a smile to my face and hopefully yours!

Chris photographed our wedding in October of 2021 and did an INCREDIBLE job. We started with an engagement shoot that was a great way to practice for our wedding day. We learned all of the popular poses so that on our actual wedding day we didn’t feel awkward posing. He was incredibly organized and thorough throughout the entire process and the results were perfect. The entire day was planned out and he photographed every shot we wanted. We also had a beautiful wedding video and I had special requests for the video that he easily accommodated! The entire day ran smoothly thanks to his organization.

Mia’s Mark Salon was established in September 2019 by owner Mia McNeill. The name Mia’s Mark was chosen because Mia wanted everyone to leave feeling better than they came and for others to feel inspired by the motto “wherever you go in life to leave your mark.”

Awarded Best of Zola
Mia was simply amazing on my wedding day! From the moment I met her, I knew she was the perfect makeup artist for me. She listened to my vision for my wedding day look and brought it to life in a way that exceeded all of my expectations. Not only was Mia incredibly talented and skilled in her craft, but she was also a joy to be around. She made the experience of getting my makeup done so enjoyable and stress-free, which was exactly what I needed on such a special day. Mia's attention to detail was impeccable, and she took the time to make sure every single aspect of my makeup was perfect. I received so many compliments on my wedding day, and I have to attribute a lot of that to Mia's amazing work. I would highly recommend Mia to any bride looking for a makeup artist who is not only talented, but also kind and easy to work with. She truly made my wedding day even more special, and I am so grateful to have had her as my makeup artist. Thank you, Mia!

LindseyK Photography specializes in capturing romance and emotion. Waiting for the sun to gleam just right through the trees, having finger on trigger awaiting that moment dad wipes a tear from his daughter's eye during their dance, or pulling the bride and groom away for some alone time during sunset to capture that forehead kiss. These are the moments... the moments of subtle, real, beautiful emotion that float through a busy wedding day easily forgotten unless captured. The importance of your bouquet broach, notes shared, jewelry worn, groomsmen toasts, ..even quirky socks, all tell the story of your day.

Awarded Best of Zola
I saw Lindsey's work on IG and knew it was something special! When we met her in person the first time having tacos, I was sold. She is poised, professional, fun, and to the point. I adored engaging with her. She made us feel so special at our engagement photos and was open to help us think about places that would suit our style. When it came to our wedding, I knew we were in great hands and she provided sooooo many wonderful photos and memories. All of our friends and family LOVED working with her. This woman is the real deal and her photos are FABULOUS!

I consider my style to be on the photojournalistic side, documenting moments as they naturally happen but also helping to set the scene for the moments that matter most. But I'm not just here to click a camera; I'm your visual storyteller, weaving the narrative of your love into each frame. You can think of me as your co-pilot to navigating the whirlwind of your wedding day. Together, we’ll craft a seamless timeline, embrace the unexpected moments, and handle anything the day throws our way. I’ll capture every smile shared, heartfelt tear shed, and dance move busted along the way so you can focus on enjoying the magic of your special day!

Hiring Aireal was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding! From the very first consultation, she made my wife and I feel so confident and excited about our big day. She took the time to get to know us as a couple, and it really showed in the photos—each one perfectly captured the essence of our relationship. On the wedding day, Aireal was such a calming presence. She was organized, professional, and had a way of making everyone feel at ease, even in the midst of all the chaos. She caught every detail and emotion without us ever feeling like we were constantly posing for pictures. Our photos are beyond beautiful. She captured so many moments we’ll treasure forever, and the quality is exceptional. We even ordered prints through her gallery and they came out flawless. It’s obvious that Aireal is passionate about her work, and she truly goes above and beyond for her clients. If you’re searching for an LGBTQIA friendly wedding photographer who will capture your day with authenticity, creativity, and a personal touch, look no further. Aireal is amazing, and we couldn’t be happier with our wedding photography experience!

We are an all inclusive luxury mobile bartending service specializing in custom created cocktails & mocktails.

Our clients tell us we are the highlight of their event and their guests rave about our amazing drinks and high quality service. Our all inclusive service includes everything needed for bartending service but the alcohol plus we offer add on services. We pride ourselves in providing top quality, professional service and making sure our clients are happy & stress free.

As a venue owner/operator, I have occasion to work with many event vendors. Rarely am I so impressed with a company as I was with Heavenly Spirits. They were set up and ready to serve well in advance of the start of the event. The set up was lovely and coordinated well with the theme of the event. The bar operated with an efficiency that kept the wait for a drink to a minimum. At the conclusion of the event, the team left the service area clean and they checked in with me before departing the venue. I HIGHLY recommend Heavenly Spirts and have happily added the company to our venue’s preferred vendor list!

We have been friends since 2006, married since 2008, and capturing memories through photography since 2010. The years of experience in all three make us uniquely qualified to tell your budding love story. If the years have taught us anything, its that fulfilling, long-lasting marriages have a foundation of friendship, and are built with joy - and perhaps quite a few carbs! We strive to help you feel confident during your big day, and not awkward or stressed - so you can look back on joyful memories that tell your love story.

We had the most amazing experience with Him & Her Photography! Josh and Alisha did both our engagement and wedding photography and went above and beyond from the very beginning. They were so fun to work with and on the wedding day, provided great support for timeline and guidance. They even had our sneak peek pictures ready DURING our reception for guests to view— which both we & the guests were in awe of. I can’t recommend them enough!

I am a caffeine addict who never sleeps. I love a good thunderstorm and playing Candy Crush for the brain breaks. I adore all kinds of dogs, but I have a special love for German Shepherds. My all-time favorite thing is to sit by the fire with a glass of good cabernet or watch the ocean waves hit the beach. I love to garden and to build things (but I let my husband to finish all my projects LOL). I enjoy good food and will likely refer to a stand up comedy routine at least once in a conversation. I am also a football mom, lacrosse mom and basketball mom. Wife to a very understanding husband and emotional support person for my big puppies.

Our wedding day was nothing short of magical, and much of that was thanks to our incredible photographer, Silvia. From our first meeting, her calm demeanor and positive outlook put us at ease. Silvia has a unique ability to blend into the background, capturing candid moments that truly reflect the joy and love of the day. Her calm presence was a soothing force during the hustle and bustle, making us feel relaxed and natural in front of the camera. Every photo she took is a testament to her talent and passion for her work. Silvia didn’t just take pictures; she told our love story through her lens, and for that, we are forever grateful. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to capture our special day.
