Kristina Lee Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,700
  • Serves South Pasadena, CA

Born in the desert (AZ Baby!) and relocated to the sea. I firmly believe that a good day starts with a cup of coffee and ends with glass of red wine. I own more jewelry than I do clothes and in my opinion, too much gold does not exist. My biggest passion will always be photography. I’ve had a camera in my hands since I was a little girl – I would even set up “stylized shoots” in my family’s living room that consisted of sheets pinned to the wall, my friends and fake flowers (embarrassing, but I’m not kidding!). I strive for those editorial, Vogue-like shots, but I really live for those private, in-between moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
As a wedding planner, I get the opportunity to work with many photographers. BY FAR, Kristina Lee Photography is my all-time favorite! Not only does she have an artistic eye for capturing moments, but she also makes the couples feel comfortable and relaxed. Kristina also is a team player with the rest of the vendors. Her turn around time for images is like no other. The generosity of what she pours into her craft and service is admirable! Kristina is both professional and playful which clients love and trust! I have no hesitation in recommending Kristina Lee Photography. As a matter of fact, I highly encourage it! You'll have the best pictures with the most delightful photographer!

Hugo & Kat Photo & Film 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,399
  • Serves South Pasadena, CA

We're Hugo & Kat, wedding photographers & filmmakers based in Los Angeles. We're a married duo & we genuinely love that we get to pursue this passion together. Our goal is to create a space where you can be completely yourselves. To capture the real essence that makes you, you. Both individually & as a couple.

Hugo and Kat did photo and video for my wedding during the pandemic and they were nothing short of amazing! They were so easy to talk to and I didn’t feel like they were “in our faces” with the cameras. Yet, they happened to capture the most intimate of moments. I’ll forever cherish the photo they captured of me and my dad! As an event professional myself, I have to admit it’s hard to find vendors that still have that freshness and fun. Hugo even managed to convince some of my guests to come out onto the dance floor after they were sitting ducks. That showed me that he wasn’t just there to take photos/videos and call it a day, they were there to go above and beyond and make sure me and my guests had a night to remember. :)

Established in 2020, The Revery is a one of a kind, premium event venue located in Mission Junction (Chinatown’s neighbor) in Los Angeles. The Revery is both an indoor and outdoor space, updated with modern amenities including HVAC, no noise curfew, tons of natural light, and perfect for the modern couple who is looking for a hidden gem.

Awarded Best of Zola
What can I say? The Revery will FOREVER be a place that holds a special place in my husband and I's heart. Monica, the owner, is such a pleasure to work with. She is very particular but she is upfront about her rules from the very beginning and never tried to add any hindrance to what we wanted. She was super communicative and kind throughout the whole process. Then - there's the venue itself. We ended up having all three events there. Ceremony (outdoor veranda), Cocktail Hour (upstairs photo studio), Dinner (indoor veranda). Even though it's a "white" space where you have to bring everything in, we LOVED this component because we felt like we were able to design our wedding from start to finish. The blank canvas provided us with an opportunity to really add our own personality. This was the first decision we made when it came to our wedding planning and it was the BEST one we could've made. We love you, Revery!! xo

Cook Captures

  • Videographer
  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves South Pasadena, CA
  • Offer

Hi there, my name is Caleb but most people call me Cook. I spent almost 13 years in the southeast filming weddings, events, corporate gigs and commercials. I moved to California in 2012 and pursued a different career. A couple years ago I decided to get back into event videography and started Cook Captures. When shooting events I have a very hands off candid style. I love to capture people naturally having fun, enjoying the day and creating memories. Every event I film is unique and each film ends up with it’s own story and narrative that fit the couple, venue, guests and overall vibe of your wedding.

We are over the moon with the work of Cook Captures! Caleb has a remarkable talent for capturing the essence of our special day. The attention to detail in every frame was beautiful and the video we received a was nothing short of magical. Our wedding day was a whirlwind of emotions (and windchill), and Caleb managed to encapsulate those precious moments, creating a visual story that tells the story of our love. The turnaround time for our video was impressive, and the presentation was beyond our wildest dreams. Each moment was thoughtfully edited, and the music selection perfectly complemented the spirit of the day. Caleb turned our wedding day into a cinematic experience we will cherish forever. We cannot express enough gratitude to Caleb for his dedication to preserving the magic of our special day. If you are seeking a videographer who goes above and beyond, Caleb is the one! We wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and personable videographer. Thank you, Caleb and Cook Captures, for your exceptional work! Highly recommend!

Jaycee Beauty 

5.0

  • Beauty professional
  • Team of 4
  • Starts at $150
  • Serves South Pasadena, CA

I have been a professional freelance makeup artist for 4 years now. I also worked at Sephora for 2 years as a makeup artist, and earned my Esthetician license before that in 2017. I have always been an artist at heart but did not touch makeup until I was 18 years old! But thankfully my love and talent for art and painting easily transferred over to makeup artistry, and I'm very thankful that I can encourage my creativity while making people feel beautiful on their important days of life.

When another makeup artist cancelled on us last minute, I freaked out!! But my wedding planner recommended Jaycee and she was an absolute gem. Got her booked so quickly, so nice to talk to, and answered all my questions quickly. She even called me same day for us to discuss everything. She turned a really stressful situation into the least of my problems! Her makeup and hairstyling she did was absolutely perfect and I felt so beautiful on my wedding day. She recommended slight adjustments in the makeup I originally wanted, and at first I wasn’t sure about, but they really made my natural features pop more.

An expert on wild and beautiful locations on the West Coast (California, Oregon, Washington, Hawaii) I am a full time photographer with a passion for creating timeless and candid art about your life. I service all of Southern California, Northern California, Oregon, Washington and Hawaii regularly, and will travel anywhere you want me to go to document your love!

September '23 couple here - while searching for photographers back in December '22, we really didn't know what we were looking for, that is, until we found Michelle. Her photos were the perfect marriage of whimsical, light, airy but poetic & deeply romantic at the same time. The vibe I could see on the walls of my home for years to come. She did our engagement photos in Joshua Tree, after scouting the park on her own all day one day, to make sure the location was exactly what we wanted. We trusted her vision immensely! Not only was that day a blast, the end results were seriously everything we wanted & more. Fast forward to our Wedding, September 30th, 2023. An absolute dream of a day. Michelle completely conquered that day. She was so great at directing every situation to get the perfect shots. I come from an event background, so her organizational management and eye for perfection did not go unnoticed. We are so glad we found her, & now when our family grows, I know exactly who I'm calling for family photos 3

Ebeling Events is an award-winning event planning team currently servicing Los Angeles, Ventura, Orange, and Santa Barbara counties in California and the greater Phoenix area in Arizona. If you have an event outside those areas, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are based in Malibu, CA hosting many destination weddings, and are willing to travel beyond to plan and execute your perfect event. We love what we do and look forward to helping you have an amazing event, within your budget, that you get to enjoy yourself! Ebeling Events creator, Kim has been in the hospitality industry her whole working life. Carly is our lead event planner

Ebeling Events was an amazing partner for wedding planning and we recommend them to make your event smooth and stress-free. We signed up for a wedding package at Starling Hill (Audubon Center at Debs Park). We worked with Kim as our lead coordinator and also worked with Katie who was the associate lead and our day-of coordinator. It was easy to have a wedding package, so we didn’t have to seek out many separate wedding vendors and read tons of different contracts. We appreciated how the main essential event set-up was all in one place. Saved us so much time and energy working with these true professionals. They offered narrowed down options, which we really appreciated to save us from decision-fatigue, but if we had special upgrade requests, Kim and her team figured them out to allow for customization too. Kim was easy to reach and super helpful to handle any concerns with her many years of planning expertise. Her and her team were also fun to work with and super responsible and professional, so the actual wedding day was extremely low stress. The vendors Ebeling Events arranged for us as a part of our package were all amazing: florist, catering, bartenders, cake, DJ, lighting, rentals, decor, shuttle, and security. Kim was also an incredible resource for connecting us with outside vendors, as we hired our photographer and make-up artist from her list of recommendations and they were stellar, too. The Ebeling Events team is so talented at what they do. We were extremely impressed when watching Kim form the schedule for the day, and her ability to coach and wrangle the families at our rehearsal was legendary, too. We would have been lost and without Kim and her team. Thanks to Kim and Katie!

Not only do the cocktails have to look and taste amazing, the experience has to be absolutely incredible. It is crucially important to us that everyone on our team is genuinely and authentically personable on top of being an exceptional mixologist.

Johnny came on late in the game as we had other bartenders fall through due to lack of communication and he crushed it. Communication was prompt and so helpful. He got us a shopping list based on what we were serving which was incredibly helpful and made our overwhelming last month of wedding prep so much less stressful. He was so easy to work with and our guests loved him and his crew. He even showed up early per our venue needs (we weren't even aware of this until our coordinator let us know after). Drinks were fantastic (A old fashioned) and he even jumped on board with our plan to ice some of our guests with great enthusiasm. Anyone planning a wedding/event knows how valuable it is to have vendors on board that make your life easier and don't add to the stress. Johnny went above and beyond this, our guests loved him, his crew, the drinks and he just added so much to the day. No regrets booking at all and can not recommend enough.

LA HAIR AND MAKEUP

  • Team of 5
  • Serves South Pasadena, CA

It all started for me at a very young age. In the early 90's when it was all about fashion and the super model, I would OBSESS over the style network and watch runway shows for hours. Fast forward to post high school choices I went to school for esthetics and also got a degree in natural health so that I could offer an additional layer to my makeup knowledge and services. Not soon after I graduated from school I freelanced for the best cosmetic company at that time. Five years after being a brand ambassador for M.A.C I branched off on my own to open a freelance hair and makeup artistry which I eventually moved to Caliornia.

LA Hair and Makeup did a PHENOMENAL job with my wedding hair and makeup! Ashanta (the owner) is so kind, professional, brilliant, and talented. She and her team did makeup for myself and 14 members of my wedding party, and did everything on schedule and to a very high standard of artistry. All of my bridesmaids choose pretty different makeup looks and Ashanta’s team did it all perfectly. I wanted my own hair and makeup look to be sort of vintage-inspired and natural, and I truly could not have been happier with how my bridal hair and makeup turned out— Ashanta is a genius!!

  • Videographer
  • Vintage style
  • Serves South Pasadena, CA

Ever since I was a child it has been my dream to become a filmmaker. I love sharing my passion for film with my clients to produce stunning, high quality videos that can be cherished forever. My unique style of filming allows me to capture moments that would otherwise go undocumented and lost forever. Growing up on the Central Coast gave me an appreciation for the serene beauty of nature that I strive to capture with all my films. I currently live in Los Angeles where I work in film and tv, most notably on the Emmy winning show Abbott Elementary.

I am so glad that we booked 1920 video. After speaking with Brandt I knew it was a good fit because he understood my vision for our wedding video. I could tell he had a passion for storytelling and the art of filmmaking. He was able to capture our love story and delivered a beautiful work of art that we can cherish for the years to come.

Once a 1980s smog-check center, SmogShoppe is now a 100% solar-powered, private 6,500 square foot indoor/outdoor haven for desert plants, vertical gardens and chic vintage furnishings. The combined interior and exterior areas allow for quintessential California entertaining, making an ideal vintage wedding venue. The generous floor plan can accommodate up to 150-person garden ceremonies, 150-person formal sit down dinners, and 250-person cocktail parties. SmogShoppe is conveniently located in the heart of the Culver City art/design district, immediately off the 10 freeway, just minutes to Santa Monica, LAX, Beverly Hills, West Hollywood and Downtown Los Angeles.

I had the pleasure of planning and coordinating a recent wedding at SmogShoppe, and let me just say this venue is such a vibe! Working with Dana, Clare, and the rest of the Marvimon team again was such a joy, as they always make the whole planning process a breeze for myself, the bride and groom, and everyone involved in the big day. The venue itself is so unique, eclectic, and has a ton of character that little to no decor is needed. Even still, the clients and I had a lot of fun personalizing the setup to create a fun and unique vibe that highlighted their personalities on their special day. If you're looking to host your next celebration at a one-of-a-kind venue that's far from your standard hotel ballroom—you've found it at SmogShoppe!

I have known Mandy and had her do my makeup for many years. She is perfection personified. She understands your skin and the special things of one’s face and knows exactly how to bring out the best in your features. She does it meticulously. Whether it’s been for weddings, red carpet events or on stage in front of thousands. Mandy delivers every time. I’ve even taken her to France on a business trip to have her make me look my best for each event. She can read the room, the lighting and what goes perfect with my outfit no matter how subtle or grand I need it. It’s always perfect and everyone always raves about my makeup. Trust me when I tell you there is no one better. She is a true artist.

True Vine Studio

  • Florist
  • Serves South Pasadena, CA

Hi there, I'm Kaylyn. After almost 12 years working as a florist, I can honestly say, I'm still not over them. This career has been the happiest accident of my life and I can't imagine a life without flowers. What started out as hobby became my dream career. It has taken me all over the world, introduced me to new people and to new cultures, challenged me, and has given me the opportunity to be a fly on the wall to the most beautiful celebrations of love. It has been a joy.

I can't recommend Kaylyn and True Vine Studio enough! She created my wedding bouquet this past weekend, and it was absolutely perfect. I provided her a general color scheme, and she worked her magic—picking the most beautiful flowers and colors that complemented each other so well. She was so accommodating, even scheduling a convenient drop-off at my house before we headed out of town for the wedding. Kaylyn is the sweetest, professional, and super easy to communicate with. 10/10 recommend True Vine Studio for any floral needs. Thank you thank you again, Kaylyn!

Kenzie Kate Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,500
  • Serves South Pasadena, CA

I'm admittedly wary when it comes to the Wedding Industry and all of it's bells/whistles/expectations, and at the same time, I believe wholeheartedly in the power of community, love, commitment, and collective joy. I think that weddings-- in all of their forms and reclamations-- ultimately serve a great purpose in reminding us of these gifts. I come from a long line of meticulous documenters and hold a degree in Sociology, all of which informs the way I approach photography. I am curious about people, am in awe of the display of emotion, and am passionate about the ways in which we construct family and community.

My husband and I worked with Kenzie for our engagement session in the summer of 2021 and our wedding in the spring of 2022. As you can tell from the timeline both sessions were at the peak of the Pandemic. This season was filled with excitement but also stress as we balanced our family's health, our deepest desires for the wedding, and the weight of the global pandemic. Kenzie gave us the peace that we so desperately needed. All in all, she was our favorite wedding vendor. After our initial onboarding Zoom call, my husband and I turned to each other and screamed did we just make a new best friend?! She is not only professional but personal. She has a great artistic vision but also respected the direction we gave. Kenzie takes a photojournalistic approach to her work and because of that, we feel like these moments are enshrined in history! My favorite Kenzie touch was the pre-wedding survey she provided us that helped her understand what emotions we had going into "the most important day of our lives". She prompted us with questions about the relationship dynamics between our family and friends, and the quirky details of our love, and our answers allowed her to capture more than just a single snapshot in time. Kenzie's photos capture FEELINGS. Thank you thank you thank you and we cannot wait to work with you for our next life event!!

She is responsive, detail-oriented, knowledgeable and creative. I am still in awe with the way everything turned out. It was smooth and extremely special, and I owe that to the Pastiche Event crew. A big perk to booking with Mia is that she has a decor inventory list that is complimentary. It really helped with cutting costs down!!

Katie was great from the beginning! We were struggling finding a photographer for our wedding and We were dealing with unprofessional photographers until I found Katie and her husband Jeremy. From the start they were professional reaching out to us keeping us informed and even found the time to FaceTime me when I asked her too. They work great together and Katie knows how to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. They went above and beyond with details to create the perfect wedding video and capture our greatest moments not only did we find a great photographer & videographer we also found two great human beans who we can call friends. We appreciate you guys and may god bless you both with bigger things and success in your business. Thank you !

Heather gave us a personalized and affordable wedding photography package. She was helpful, timely, and supportive during our crazy wedding day. So much went wrong, but our photographers and flowers were some of the highlights that made our day amazing. The additional creative touch Heather brought went above and beyond our expectations. She brought confetti into the desert to highlight some of our post-first look photos and she brought champagne for a champagne pop with our bridal party. These little details made the experience all the more enjoyable. She also returned the photos quite fast! We will definitely recommend Heather for anyone getting married in the future.
