Awarded Best of Zola
Have about 200 people showing up to your reception and want to guarantee that everyone from your aunts and uncles to your most particular friend all send you texts about how perfect your wedding band was? Great, you're done with your search. We worked with The Hook Club on an ambitious two-day wedding, which included them doing live sound for our Friday welcome party, live sound for the music at our ceremony, some deep cut requests, and our desire to not just have "another wedding band." What we got was an incredibly talented, creative, and kind group of people who were ready to make whatever we wanted happen, ready to add ideas and layers, and who then completely blew away our expectations. We're in that era of our lives where we've been to about 100 weddings in the last 10 years, and we can honestly say that no band has even come close to The Hook Club. A year later everyone is still talking about how great our band was. They are true professionals in every sense of the word, and you should seriously consider booking your venue around whether or not THC is available. That's not hyperbole - they were that good.

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 am over the moon with how absolutely perfect things were with DJ Zach! I have very particular music tastes and knew I didn't want your "typical" wedding music (though I'm sure Zach could do a great job with that too); after vibing with Zach on the phone and connecting over our shared love of music, I felt confident he could deliver a wedding I could be personally proud of. And boy, did he deliver! We had an absolutely packed dance floor all night. He did such a fantastic job taking the cue from my song selections and finding the beautiful middle ground between music lover and crowd pleaser. I'm so thrilled Zach was my partner-in-music and helped create my dream wedding!

With over 20+ years of experience with photography, capturing life's smallest and biggest moments has been a passion of mine. Being able to encapsulate these candid moments is such a privilege; one that we don't take lightly!

From start to finish Jenn was incredibly professional and easy to deal with. She helped me plan an engagement shoot that, because of its nature, had to be mostly spontaneous and "on-the-fly". She was easily able to adapt and capture our special moment with some INCREDIBLE photographs. We even started receiving some photos the following day! I would not hesitate for a second to recommend Jenn and Symula Media Group to anyone looking for documentation of their special moment!

Justin was lovely to work with from the start. He was booked for another wedding, but he paired us up with Rob, an associate DJ of his. Both Rob and Justin were so so fun to work with. Rob took the time to text or set up whatever zoom calls we felt we needed. For the actual day, Rob was amazing. We had dinner service, reception, and "after party". Robs killed it with his flow between songs, and was incredibly accommodating and flexible if we had any requests in the moment, and was able to dodge or handle any "questionable" song requests that came his way. We knew that he always put my husband and I's wishes first. We also had multiple people comment on how good the DJ was during the reception, and after the fact! He also went above and beyond to pull heroics the day of to get some of our DIY spot lighting set up that wasn't set up the night prior. Rob was incredible to work with, and just as fun to chat with. Will miss working with them, but absolutely will be following their journeys and would use them again in a heartbeat! So thankful for Justin and Rob!

From the trial to day of wedding she was always happy to hear feedback and talk through exactly what I was looking for. My bridesmaids hair (done by both Nicole and the assistant she brought with her) also all came out beautiful, they were stunning! People are still talking about my MOH’s pony look.

We originally found Thalia on TikTok and she captured the most magical engagement photos for us in NYC (we’re from Melbourne, Australia). She then made our absolutely dreams come true and agreed to come to Melbourne to shoot our wedding!!!!!!!! We had the most magical week with her and she made our friends and family feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and she captured the most incredible moments for us. Due to a mix up with our officiant on the day, we couldn’t actually get legally married - so we’ll be going to city hall in NYC next month and you BEST BELIEVE Thalia will be joining us for a THIRD time to capture our lil city hall marriage day!

I love what I do. I found my way to professional photography in a roundabout way, having started my working career as a marine scientist and environmental educator in CA and then on Maui. After years immersed in the ocean and hundreds of hours spent underwater, I realized that I was happiest on days when I could adventure freely with a camera in hand. The drive to learn more and become a better photographer lead me back to school on the east coast, where I ended up finding a new dream career and a home and community that I love.

Laura was an incredible human to work with. She communicates clearly and kindly and captured absolutely stunning photos for us. I will call her for any future events.

I do not know where to begin! In the midst of wedding planning, I came across Alex and his team's work, and I was immediately hooked. Thankfully he was available for our wedding date and came all the way up to Big Bear with no hesitation! From the get-go, Alex was a pleasure to collaborate with. He answered my many questions and never made me feel annoying. Also, on a side note, he was very genuine and empathetic to what was happening in my husband's family. Unfortunately, my husband lost his mom a couple months before the wedding. I am sharing this information because Alex embedded personal touches into our cinematic event film that honored my husband's mother. It was extremely heartwarming, and my husband's eyes still fill with water when he watches the video. At the end of the day, the fact that our 10 min cinematic film makes my husband and I cry means that he did a phenomenal job. We knew the video was going to come out great, but it exceeded our expectations. It truly captured a snapshot of our wedding day and exactly who we are as a couple. Alex and his team didn't push us either....they let us enjoy our day and nothing felt forced. I feel like that's important because the day goes by so quick! He just went with the flow and let us do our thing. The quality of his work is obviously apparent across his portfolios on websites, but just know that he is an awesome human and will make sure he captures your day beautifully. Thank you, Alex!

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.

Leah photographed our wedding at my family's property in Napa Valley, June 2024. Leah took lots of time to scope out the location and seemed to be absolutely *everywhere* during the wedding, at all the right moments. I didn't have to call her over once, because she was already there. She captured the emotions of the day, the little moments, the big moments, and made our day look like the fairytale wedding that it felt like. Once we got the photo gallery back (so quickly!) we relived the day all over again. We were tearing up and laughing at all the photos. I felt like I was looking at photos from a Brides magazine, but it was me! Another thing I'll mention is that Leah gives direction in a kind, calm and encouraging way. My husband is not too confident in photos and he felt SO comfortable posing with her there, and loves his photos too! I felt like she could guide me into more flattering poses when I felt uncertain about my angles. I love Leah and her work and would recommend her to anyone!

Her attention to detail was impeccable, ensuring that every element of our wedding went off without a hitch. Liv’s organizational skills are second to none; she managed our timeline with precision and handled last-minute changes with such grace. Her calm demeanor and problem-solving abilities were truly invaluable on our big day. Not only was she incredibly professional, but Liv also brought a warm and personable touch to the role, making everyone feel at ease. So many of our guests commented about how wonderful she was. Our wedding party was impressed with her organization. She went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect, and her efforts did not go unnoticed.

As my husband has said numerous times, Liv was worth every penny! She made our day unforgettable for all the right reasons. Thank you, Liv, for your outstanding work and for making our wedding day so special!

First of all - the end product was just beautiful. Everything from the bridal bouquet to the ceremony flowers to the table styling was exquisite and super unique. Shannon did a great job incorporating my favorite color (yellow) and a whimsical, organic wildness into the design exactly as I had hoped. From our first meeting to the written proposal, Shannon interpreted my thoughts and ideas exactly. I was so impressed that she took my ramblings and half ideas and pulled them together into what I was seeing in my head. Shannon’s GORGEOUS color palette informed the entire wedding design and gave me a jumping off point for invitations, bridesmaid dresses, other decor, etc. Unfortunately, the process of working with Shannon was a bit challenging. She struggled with nailing down details: incorrect number of tables, inconsistent accounting of candles/bud vases, etc. It took a number of incorrect proposal drafts until we got it right - just weeks before the wedding. We were honestly quite disappointed by Shannon’s flexibility and communication. She self-describes as being highly collaborative, but that was not our experience. First, as beer nerds, having hops in the design was super important to us, and while she flagged early on it could be an issue to source real ones, we discussed using fake. While we all agreed that she shouldn’t use fake hops if they looked bad, we were sad to see on the day of that they didn’t make it into the design. It would have been nice to have heard a heads up from her that she didn’t plan to use them - even if it was just a brief mention on the day-of. Second, when our cake plans fell through at the last minute, we asked Shannon if she could possibly supply a few flowers for our small 6” cutting cake. She told us she would try, but later we heard from the bakery that she had given them a flat no. She never communicated her decision to us. Thankfully, the bakery pulled something together for us (shout out to Zest Pastry!). Third, the Monday before the wedding, Shannon sent an alarming email with the subject line “Head Advisory, Oh No!”, asking us what our plan was. Getting any email titled “Oh No” isn’t fun to receive less than a week before your wedding. Further, as a trusted wedding vendor, we would hope that she would have plans for weather or unexpected events rather than looking to us during a very stressful period. Lastly, (and most disappointingly) despite having a run of day schedule, Shannon was nowhere to be found when it was time to put on boutonnieres and corsages. Our photographers and party thankfully jumped in to help to avoid major delays to portraits (shout out to Katie Slater!). Fundamentally, the product Shannon provided was beyond compare - everything was beautiful. That said, the communication, coordination, and organization were lacking from our experience.

My name is Holly and I capture timeless memories in one of the most hectic days of your life. I fell in love with photography in school but really took an interest after my son was born. Wanting to make sure I documented every little thing he did so I could remember years after was important to me. That turned into what is Holly Johnston Photography today. My passion is to document all of the moments through out your day so you can remember them years after, when you look back at your photos. I want you to be transported back to that day and remember all of the emotions and love.

After getting engaged, I was quickly overwhelmed by how much goes into planning a wedding. It was hard to know where to start, and I felt lost. Thankfully, I found Erica, and she made the entire process so much easier. She kept everything organized and guided me step by step, ensuring I stayed on track. Erica really understood my vision and offered creative solutions that fit perfectly. The amount of work behind the scenes was huge, but with her by my side, everything went smoothly.

If you're the kind of couple that would prefer their photographer feel like one of the guests as opposed to a paparazzi, and if when the neighbors complain about the noise, you just invite them to the party, keep reading. I take a documentary-style approach to my weddings. Roaming with a camera, I capture the candid moments and small details that make your wedding unique to you, while making sure to set aside time for a few special portraits.

Her prompt, detailed responses, and extensive portfolio showcasing her blend of candid, documentary-style, and portrait photography solidified our trust in her to capture our intimate wedding celebration. Stephanie’s flexibility and accommodating nature were evident from the start, adapting seamlessly to changes like a rain backup date and offering valuable insights on locations, outfits, and shooting times. Her eye for optimal settings, creative backgrounds, and her considerate approach reflected her commitment to delivering the best possible photographs. She effortlessly incorporated our extensive group photo wish list, capturing various combinations of family and friends while maintaining her signature style. Her meticulous planning, note-taking, and venue scouting ensured she was well-prepared for the multiple locations, diverse lighting conditions, and different rooms throughout our wedding weekend. Our engagement session not only provided an opportunity to get comfortable in front of the camera but also served as an introduction to Stephanie's chill and friendly personality. She effortlessly captured the casual essence of our relationship, creating a natural and relaxed atmosphere that carried through our wedding weekend. Stephanie's dedication shone brightly during our welcome party, where she artfully mingled with our guests, ensuring every significant moment was documented. Her ability to capture candid and natural interactions, especially among family and friends meeting for the first time, added immeasurable value to our wedding memories. On our wedding day, Stephanie skillfully captured spontaneous moments during the ceremony, including a few surprises that added to the overall enjoyment of the day. We were delighted that she could portray the lively reactions of our guests during these unexpected moments. From the early setup to the late-night dance floor light trails, Stephanie's genuine enthusiasm added to the fun and magic of our celebration. And, of course, her skill in tying the perfect square knot on the bride's dress was much appreciated. Stephanie's attention to detail and dedication to capturing finer elements truly stood out. Documenting everything from florals to table décor, furnishings, food, and beverages allowed us to cherish these details forever. Despite our busy timeline, Stephanie's keen eye noticed small yet meaningful nuances, and her photos became invaluable memories. What sets Stephanie apart is not just her stunning photos but the entire experience she provides. From dependability and organizational skills to the fun and ease she brings, Stephanie is more than a photographer; she's a wonderful person.
