My style is rooted in a editorial and documentary approach, allowing me to narrate your unique love story through timeless images that capture genuine emotions.

Where do we even begin- We hired the Opal Affair for wedding Day of Coordination and it was by far the best choice (and money) for our wedding day- Kirsten and Katy made it the absolute best day of our lives!! In the year of planning whenever I had a timeline questions, Kirsten was so quick and helpful in responding and then in the month and week prior to wedding day, she stepped in and took over vendor comms and made sure all the little details that made the day unique and personalized were covered. We had Katy onsite with us and from rehearsal to day of, she helped keep things running smoothly, made sure the bar didn’t run dry and stepped in when health emergencies demanded action and took charge.

Hi! ​My name is Bouquet and I am a published photographer. I was born and raised in Thailand, lived in NJ, HI, and now FL! My portfolio showcases some of my favorite images from the past few years with various lighting and locations, so you know I can handle every situations you may have on your wedding day! I strive to create photographs that not only capture a moment but also capture a feeling and essence.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a non-traditional wedding and were on a tight budget, but Bouquet was able to accommodate us and provide us with a wonderful experience. We were only doing church photos, a few couples' shots, and minimal coverage of our reception. Bouquet sent a thorough questionnaire beforehand to inform her of the run of show for the day and our expectations. She arrived on time, introduced herself and got to work! Bouquet was a joy to work with. She was game for all of our ideas and made sure we got all the requested shots and then some. We wanted to do some more candid photos with grittier NYC shots as the background. Bouquet was totally game and really followed our lead while giving some helpful suggestions for specific poses. She had the best attitude, wasn't pushy at all, and treated everyone so kindly. We loved working with her and highly recommend her for your wedding.

Working with Courtney was a dream! She was incredible to work with from the start with our engagement session all the way through to the wedding day and beyond. My husband and I are a little more on the shy/awkward side - especially when it comes to taking photos, but Courtney made us feel so comfortable and knew exactly what to have us to do to get some beautiful and fun shots :) Courtney was so fun and helpful throughout our special day and the questionnaires she sent us to fill out were so helpful for us to give her any heads up and set our day up for success. Our wedding day and timeline went off without a hitch and everyone has had wonderful things to say about our photo/video team and the sneak peek photos! Oh, she was also so patient with our chaotic pups who wanted to join in on some photo fun! We have zero regrets choosing Wild Opal and would recommend them to anyone and everyone!! :)

H1! I'm Laramie Renae, Owner and Photographer at Wandering Creative. I am a Wedding & Documentary Photographer, based in Memphis, TN. I am an avid documentarian, and I cannot wait to capture your day :)

Awarded Best of Zola
I reached out to Laramie for my wedding because I wanted someone who fell outside of the typical cookie cutter photography spectrum to capture the details of my micro wedding. I am not the type to enjoy the super posey photographs and prefer to capture moments that are natural and authentic. When I look back through the pictures of our wedding day, I can truly place myself in each moment of time. Our wedding was a fall, moody, intimate occasion and Laramie was the perfect person to be a part of it. She was cool, calm, collected and made sure to capture not only all of the beautiful details but also the sweet quiet moments that you think no one saw. I am blown away every time I look through our wedding albums and I am so glad I chose A Wandering Creative because you can tell she enjoys what she does by all the love she puts into her work. My only regret is not paying for her videography as well. Thank you Laramie, The Turners

I had an amazing experience with The Stylist Abroad! Ashley, the owner, was absolutely fantastic and was incredibly communicative for the entire process. She answered every single question right away, and gave so much insight! For the trial and on the day of my wedding, my girls and I worked with Kim (hair) and Jenna (makeup), and they were both amazing. So kind, so friendly, and clearly knowledgeable! I was deciding between two hairstyles, and Kim was happy to try both in my trial. I had a couple things I wanted to change with my makeup, and Jenna was more than happy to accommodate! I was incredibly pleased with both looks on my wedding day, and everyone looked incredible!! I was definitely very blessed with the weather on wedding day, so that also helps, but hair and makeup stayed in place fabulously! The cherry on top is that everyone was just so sweet and easy to talk to!! Made the start of the day so pleasant and relaxed, and it seems like all my girls had a great time, too! Would absolutely recommend!!

Jenni and her team did a phenomenal job capturing our wedding day. We felt so comfortable from the moment we first met with her and that definitely translated to how easy it felt taking direction from her for our wedding day photos. Her team took time to get to know us and figure out what we were comfortable with so it felt natural (we're not the most comfortable in front of the camera but somehow she figured out how to get those sweet in the moment shots without it feeling forced!). The photos turned out stunning. From the formal portraits to our mountain top vows to the sweetest candids she captured of me and my dad and my adorable nieces and nephews there’s seriously so many amazing photos to choose from. I also appreciated how organized she was with our formal portrait list keeping it quick and everyone ready to move through those as soon as possible. Cannot recommend her enough.

Hi – I’m Lauren Bolan, Owner, Photographer & Graphic Designer of Magnolia Pine. I currently reside in Cleveland, Ohio, the land that I love! I absolutely enjoy capturing & creating timeless pieces for my clients and their special day! There is just something magical about weddings & special events! I’m super detail oriented and I’m very particular, so you can be assured that I will take good care of your products and put so much love into them!

I originally was not going to go the photographer route but when I changed my mind a week and a half out, Magnolia Pine was there for us. I am incredibly grateful and impressed by the level of effort Lauren put in with such little time to go. The day of the wedding she went out of her way to buy props that she thought fit our aesthetic and she exceeded anything I could have come up with on my own. She truly made us feel like the day was ours and that we were the guests of honor at our wedding and I can’t say enough great things. The pictures came back in less than 2 months which was the perfect time to go through and relieve the moments. We even received preview pictures early on to hold us over. If you want someone that will be able to fit the vibe you are looking for even with other pressures from guests, Lauren is your girl!

Hey there, I'm Chris! I'm not your average wedding photographer—I'm here to make sure your images make your heart skip a beat even years down the line. My goal? To capture your big day in a way that fills you with all the feels, every time you look at those photos. I'm all about having a blast and creating memories that will make you smile from ear to ear. Weddings are all about love, laughter, and those precious moments that take your breath away. And guess what? I'm on a mission to freeze those incredible, candid instants so you can relive them over and over again.

Chris with Shipwrecked Creative helped capture our wedding day perfectly! The planning before the wedding was quite rushed as we booked just few months before the big day, but he helped coordinate our meetings and plan everything out, so we were on the same page. He was very responsive and detailed with everything. The questionnaire he sent us made it super easy to give him all the right information, so he didn’t need to ask 100 questions on the phone or via email. We had a very rainy day with few moments that the sun was shining. Chris helped us capture every moment perfectly. He guided our poses so it wasn’t awkward or unnatural, kept us laughing along the way, and helped us coordinate our timeline to fit in all our family photos, sunset photos (that miraculously worked out with the weather!) and portrait shots that we wanted of our big day. Between the chaos of the wedding in general and the crappy weather, Chris helped us really make our day special, even trekking out in the mud and rain to get some amazing sunset shots! I highly recommend Chris and his team at Shipwrecked Creative. Couldn’t ask for a better team!

Working in the wedding industry for over 10 years as a bridal makeup artist I specialize in Natural & Soft Glam wedding makeup thus being preferred by brides looking for classy, timeless and natural looks and being awarded many different certificates and accolades throughout the years.

I cannot express enough how incredible my experience was with Cristal as my hair and makeup artist for my wedding. From the very first interaction, she was amazing at communicating and made me feel completely at ease. I gave her free rein on my makeup, with only the guidelines of creating a romantic look that would highlight my features, and she absolutely nailed it. I shared a few pictures of my dress with her, and she not only helped me decide on the perfect hairstyle but also executed it flawlessly. The entire process felt so natural and enjoyable, almost as if we had been friends for a long time. On my wedding day, she truly felt like part of the family, and her presence added so much warmth and joy to the occasion. If you're looking for a talented, kind, and genuinely caring hair and makeup artist, look no further than Cristal. She has a remarkable gift for making you look and feel your absolute best on your special day. Thank you, Cristal, for making my wedding day so magical and memorable!

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.

We had a great experience with Elena and her team! We did the silver package and my best friends, mom, and I were all thrilled with the end product and experience overall. We were not a make up and hair savvy group and she easily took us through the process and went with the vibe each girl asked for. She really listened to us when we asked for a more natural look and I couldn’t have felt more beautiful on my wedding day.

I cannot say enough great things about working with Jaime! She truly made the stressful experience so easy. From the time I met her at a bridal show, up until even now after wedding day, Jaime has been a pleasure to work with. Communication is amazing, she’s so incredibly supportive, professional, and detail oriented! She took our wild idea of a Tim Burton-esque theme and made it come to life. The day was even more beautiful than I could’ve imagined or hoped for. My husband originally wasn’t sure a wedding planner was even worth the cost, but as the day got closer, he was so thankful we had her part of our team. Jaime went above and beyond what I thought a wedding planner would do, I even had another vendor share with me what a pleasure she was to work with! I cannot say enough nice things about her, I don’t think there’s enough words in the world to describe it! In moments of brief anxiety on wedding day, I just looked around for Jaime and knew it would all turn out alright once I saw her. I’d recommend her to literally everyone I know.

The word ‘milieu’ defines how we want to capture your wedding: as whole of scenery. Any experience is the result of a series of moments and feeling of our interaction with others. Images can recreate those intangible elements more fully in our mind, allowing us to relive our emotional experience long after the day has ended.

All of our musicians are very close friends; and that bond energizes and elevates our performance. Husband & wife team, Jeremy & Emily, have been making music together since meeting at the NIU School of Music in the early 2000s. Their love for their craft continues to grow with every performance opportunity together.

Jeremy and the New Vintage Strings quartet were incredible. Jeremy facilitated the communication for the quartet, was prompt, thorough, and extremely helpful from start to finish with all aspects. The New Vintage Strings quartet played the ceremony and cocktail hour for our wedding on Saturday, June 15th, 2024, and were a massive hit for all who attended. Their resources were user-friendly, and their repertoire was expansive. The New Vintage Strings quartet were also willing to find the sheet music for a song that was not on their list of songs. It was an absolute pleasure to work with New Vintage Strings and relatively cost-friendly given how expensive live music can be, particularly for weddings. I highly recommend having New Vintage Strings play your wedding or event where music may be appropriate. A massive thank you to Jeremy and the rest of the New Vintage Strings quartet for their lovely performance and making our wedding even more spectacular!

Tara Beth Photography is a place of inclusion, empathy, intimacy, and care. From the first email, I take care with my clients. Considering them all unique, and with that, their stories being unique. We talk about how you want to be captured, how your love should be captured. We go over insecurities, love stories, and anything else that may come up during our Zoom calls. I don't want to be just someone you hire. I want to be considered someone you trust, and enjoy to have around!

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Tara Beth for our wedding in December 2022. We started following her instagram years prior and fell in love with how she captured every moment, from the guests to the couple. Not only were her photos amazing, but being a part of the LGBTQ community can feel daunting at times when reaching out to vendors, specifically for same-sex weddings. We had a few tough experiences with other vendors in regards to being a same-sex couple, but Tara Beth, as she is a part of the community, made it easy to feel comfortable and accepting. We contacted her and were met with a quick response. From the start, we knew she was the one. Her vibe and passion for love sold us! My wife and I were very nervous to take photos, but Tara Beth reassured us that she would walk us through everything - and she did just that. She talked us through our first look and it was an amazing experience. She also guided our party and family photos, which was super helpful as we were able to get our photos done ahead of schedule! We appreciate everything Tara Beth did for our special day and would recommend her 100 times over!

My name's Allison and I am a photographer for the madly in love, imperfect couples that want their joy-filled wedding days to be captured on camera. Working to pursue my degree in my Masters of Occupational Therapy, I spend all my free time behind a camera shooting the love and beauty of those I meet. A lover of Jesus, chocolate freak, and an Enneagram 2, I am SO excited you're here and interested in a photographer!

Allison was an absolute dream to work with. She helped us feel comfortable and prepared all along the way, she was always available to answer questions and give advice when needed. She showed up the day of her wedding ready to roll and jumped right into action. She made us feel comfortable and confident and helped make our day run so smoothly. She worked well with all the other vendors and helped in anyway she could to make the day go perfectly. She got our sneak peaks back to us so incredibly quickly and our full gallery was available in what seemed like record time. We will forever choose Alli for all of our photo needs!!

Jimmy is amazing to work with and amazing all around. He was easy to connect with before and on the day of our wedding. When he sent us the first edit of our video I didn't feel confident about how I looked and asked Jimmy if he could remove some scenes. He did not hesitate at all and reassured me that he wanted to make sure I was 100% satisfied and happy. He delivered the edited video and it was perfect. Thank you for everything Jimmy.
