April and Bryan Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,800
  • Serves State College, PA

We are a fun loving couple ourselves, so if that sounds like you, LET'S CHAT! We love to travel/adventure (Bryan is often trying to keep April out of water and away from ledges), try new foods, and when not working, devote our time to our beautiful children, family/friends! Oh, and we can't forget, we are THAT DISNEY family. Photography is more than just images; it’s a real part of your day. Not only do you deserve beautiful photos, you also deserve an amazing photographic experience. Your wedding day is an experience from beginning to end and your photography is a huge part it. Shouldn’t it be fun? and enjoyable? and natural? We think so!

April and Bryan were so great to work with! They communicated quickly leading up to the wedding and were very professional and helpful on the day of. We didn't have to worry about any of the photos because April had a list of everything we wanted. Thank you guys!

  • Serves State College, PA

We offer luxury concierge-level hair and makeup service for weddings and special occasions. Our talent, service, attention to detail and our ability to bring to your wedding day a flawless and effortless morning of beauty and comfort cannot be matched. Our award-winning company services clients in the Southeast Florida region (Broward, Palm Beach and Miami-Dade counties) and in the Philadelphia tri-state area, including Delaware, South Jersey and the Jersey Shore.

Dana and Courtney made my hair and makeup ideas come to life in the most spectacular way possible. From coming to YOU, to listening to your thoughts and ideas, their professionalism was incredible. Myself and the MOB had a trial run, our honest feedback was noted and incorporated into the big day-each of my bridal party members were breathtakingly beautiful when it was time to get dressed. My artist, Courtney was amazing; Dana, from start to finish was easily accessible by email/phone, and she never kept you guessing as to your timelines for the day. She even included in her emails a “Wedding Day Prep Sheet,” to make the big day that much easier with no stress or drama. She even filled in when one of her artists got sick-her knowledge of style, and business was beyond reproach. I would recommend Beautiful Brides Florida and Dana Persia with no hesitation whatsoever-I was beyond thrilled!

Paige Kowal Photography

  • Photographer

  • Starts at $3,200
  • Serves State College, PA

Paige Kowal Photography offers wedding, elopement, engagement, lifestyle, family, newborn, & brand photography. We work closely with clients from Harrisburg to Philadelphia & beyond - including destination weddings. Paige has always had an eye for design. As a child, she would bring her ideas to life through fashion design sketches & dream-home floor plans, & she collected clippings from advertisements. Always with a camera in hand & an old nostalgic soul, Paige treasures the value of a photo - a moment held in time, passed down for generations.

Paige is a joy to work with and incredibly talented at what she does. She makes sure she understands your vision to execute it perfectly for your big day. I was recommended to Paige because I wanted direct flash photography with a vintage vibe. Not only did we get the best photos with a mix of editorial and candid, but she completely nailed the look I was going for and included some more traditional first look shots as well! My husband and I aren’t models by any means, but we felt totally comfortable to be ourselves the entire day because Paige (and her second shooter Mackenzie) made us feel completely at ease. Cannot say enough good things about Paige. You will be gawking at your photos the minute you get them!!

Shawnee was an unbelievable photographer and such a special part of our wedding weekend. From the moment we reached out to her to getting our pictures, she has been incredibly communicative, easy to work with, and deeply kind. She made us feel so at ease and taken care of at our Rehearsal Dinner and on our wedding day. She not only allowed us to be our fullest selves but also encouraged capturing us in ways that felt authentic and not stuck in expected wedding photos or gender roles. She captured our guests so beautifully too, particularly the kids who were in our wedding. Everyone's personalities shone through so wonderfully and the picture are absolutely stunning. We cannot believe how many and how incredible each and every photo is. We cannot recommend Shawnee enough!

Gangi Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,800
  • Serves State College, PA

We're a husband and wife team who love working together in pursuing our dreams while inspiring each other. We love capturing a combination of artistic and authentic moments that tells everyone's individual story. We pre-visualize from different perspectives, get inspiration from not the most obvious sources and view the world differently, especially photography. When we aren't behind our cameras, you can catch us binging one of our favorite shows, trying out a new local restaurant, or hanging out with our two cats Elmore & Albert.

We could not recommend Tim and Mercedes enough! They are simply amazing and delightful to work with. We interviewed a few top photographers in the area and ended up choosing Gangi Photography for a few reasons but the main one was how organized they were (I am super type A). My husband and I were planning a wedding during a pandemic and across the country and we were totally worried about EVERYTHING. Tim and Mercedes did everything they could to help us. They were quick to answer emails and phone calls, they went out of their way to meet up with us the one day we were in town before the wedding, and their organized and thoughtful approach to the day-of schedule was a lifesaver. Then came the wedding day. My husband and I are awkward and shy in photos, but Tim and Mercedes made us comfortable and relaxed immediately. They were quick to adjust to changes and accommodated all the little bumps along the way, and they helped tremendously with our sassy grumpy flower girl the day of. Then we got our photos! WE LOVE THEM! They are even better than we could have imagined. We will cherish these photos and the memories of our wedding day for years to come.

When we’re not behind the camera you can find us in our kitchen whipping up something delicious, doing renovations on our 93 year old home, or planning our next trip. No matter where we are, I can promise that you’ll find a cup of coffee in our hands and our music, (typically a weird mix between Eminem, John Mayer + Journey), turned all the way up.

Best photographer around! Jeannie was a dream. The sweetest person. She was so easy to work with. I couldn’t be more thankful having her. She made a couple, who doesn’t love taking photos, super comfortable and photogenic! They even dealt with my hubby and his antics, which takes a lot!

Joel Thomas Photography

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Serves State College, PA

Hi!!! My name is Joel and I’m a wedding and portrait photographer in Central Pennsylvania. Although I’m based out of Harrisburg, I love to travel to Pittsburgh, Philly, Baltimore, DC, New York and beyond! I’m married to my amazing wife Kristin who typically works along side me at weddings and is almost as goofy as I am (almost). We have a border collie named Oreo who has more energy than the two of us combined! I’m a Netflix junkie (which is perfect to watch while I spend countless hours editing photos) and I quote movies and TV shows all the time. Try to stump me with a movie quote, it can’t be done ;)

When I was looking for a photographer for our wedding, I didn’t just want anyone off the street. I had looked at several people’s work and talked to many photographers, but there was always something missing from their work that I had been searching for. When visiting a wedding expo, I came to his booth and knew immediately that this was the photographer I wanted to shoot my wedding! He doesn’t just take a photograph; he captures a moment in time! His photos evoke emotion more than just happiness. I could feel the joy and warmth of his subjects come to life. His use of color and composition set the stage for the perfect image to hang on your wall. Right off the bat, Joel was funny, extremely personable & amazing to work with! He made it fun to be photographed (especially if you don’t do well in front of the camera but love the end result). Joel really made the whole process very easy and enjoyable by explaining everything and answering all of our nitty gritty questions. And believe me, we had A LOT of questions! With every request, he did not disappoint! He mastered the skill of capturing our love and our personalities in every photo he took! Through his creativity that shows in our engagement & wedding photo album… I can’t help but smile, laugh and get a little teary eyed. It was such a great experience. If you are looking for a photographer for your wedding, I would highly recommend Joel Thomas!! I will definitely be using him again in the future for our family photos!!!

I’m also a people person and love to pass on my positive energy, so being able to celebrate every unique couple’s love story fulfills me in a way no other jobs could!

Charlotte is the BEST!!! I was so so picky about who to hire for videography and photography. We found her after hours of searching, had an intro call, and immediately fell in love with her!! She's the most bubbly, upbeat person ever and her contagious positive attitude clicked with us instantly!! She was so friendly, understanding, and helpful when our original wedding was cancelled (2020 bride here...) and we had to pivot to a tiny backyard ceremony with a different date. The photos and video we received from our ceremony were BEAUTIFUL and came in a very timely manner!! We got so many comments from our family that day about how great and friendly they were. We can't wait for our 2021 reception to get a whole extra day with them, they were truly a pleasure to be around!!! Charlotte has truly become a good friend through all of this (and has put up with four date changes for the reception... she's a saint)!

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band. I highly recommend this group for your wedding.

Take it from us... marriage is not all sunshine and rainbows, but when looking back on photos and videos from your day, you'll remember the love you had from the beginning... not all the other "fluff." Being able to work together as a husband and wife team has been an amazing journey, but growing this company and establishing a trustworthy and talented group of creatives to serve our couples has become really important to us . We value the relationship you have and your love is all that matters. That's all that's left after the wedding anyway... and your photos and videos too of course.

Kristen and Christian and their team are wonderful!! From our engagement photos to the wedding day everything was just easy with them. They don’t bring crazy bulky equipment that gets in the way, we hardly even noticed they were there which was so nice when you just want to twirl around all night. The photos speak for themselves, they’re everything we hoped for, and we even got our sneak preview pics the next day which the family loved!!! Our wedding day was dark (December) and poured rain the whole time and yet the photos are crystal clear and oh so stunning. We chose Dearly Beloved because they do a great job in darker settings and they did not disappoint! To any bride in a twinkle lit setting, these are your photographers.

Our 50th wedding anniversary was an event of a lifetime for us. We gathered fifty of the most important people in our lives for a black-tie gathering in New York City. Because friends came from all over the world, it was important to us to create an extraordinary evening for them to enjoy. The setting was magnificent, the food extraordinary and Patrice and the Show perfection. From our first meeting to that wonderful night, there is not one thing they didn't hit out of the park. Communication was prompt and clear and their logistic preparation flawless, which took a great weight off our shoulders. When I called Patrice two weeks before the event and told her I wanted to sing my toast to my husband, she was so encouraging and supportive. I sent a youtube video of the Tina Turner song I was going to sing, we spoke on the phone and that night it went off like we had rehearsed endlessly! If you have a chance to book them, don't hesitate. They are Simply the Best!

The Neskes 

5.0

  • Videographer
  • Cinematic style
  • Starts at $5,995
  • Serves State College, PA

We are a husband-and-wife traveling wedding filmmaking team passionate about creating unique, cinematic love stories for the bold and the courageous. For those who embrace the unknown. For those who dream.

Where do I even begin? When my husband & I first started wedding planning, we weren't even certain if videography was a must-have for us. But after a recommendation from our (equally brilliant) photographer and viewing about 30 seconds of one of their videos - which promptly reduced me to tears in the middle of work- I knew The Neskes would be a can't-live-without vendor for us. The Neskes create magic. They are somehow able to distill hours into minutes and seconds, capturing each couple's individual story, raw emotions and sheer joy. Every video is so uncannily representative of each couple, you feel you know their entire journey; they are somehow able to make each video distinct, yet so undeniably representative of the Neskes' unique style. Their videos are actual cinematic works of art - they capture that sensation of seeing flashes of your life as if you're watching your own life story on the big screen. From the carefully selected music that somehow seems to describe your innermost feelings, to the rapid bursts of moments - looks, laughter, tears, cheers, unbridled celebration - that makes up your day, there is so much raw talent and passion that goes into their work. Seeing our teaser trailer mere days after our wedding brought back all those sweeping feelings we felt that day, so much so that we replayed that video well into the night. Each re-watch uncovered some tiny moment we missed on the previous watch, and it was amazing to be able to rediscover the day every time. Even better, though, are Melissa & Steve themselves. There's a reason every review mentions that the Neskes are their new best friends, and mine is no different. They are the kindest, funniest, most calming and generous presence you could hope for (and they happily share their snacks with you when you start feeling peckish). Melissa was my sounding board throughout the entirety of my wedding planning process - until she became my every day sounding board. So responsive, kind, comforting and encouraging, it is unbelievable that such talented people are also such amazing human beings. And we are eternally grateful for their talent and presence in our lives. Practically speaking, they make the entire process so easy - it was oddly comforting having just one package to choose from, knowing we would get them for the entire day and wouldn't have to choose what kind/how many videos we would get at the end of it. I've since gotten to see our long-form and documentary videos, and have watched, re-watched, cried, laughed, cringed and cried some more. Getting to relive the speeches, the laughter, the joy, excitement, trepidation and tears through their discerning and creative eye(s) is truly such a gift.

Our films are classic. No filters or vintage film styles that quickly date your video. You’ll be watching this for the rest of your life so we want to make sure it stands the test of time. Our artistic approach lies in finding the authentic moments, in between snapshots, where you’re swept up in excitement and emotion. We think of our films as moving family portraits. We offer affordable aerial drone, 4K, multi-day coverage & more from $4980.

I've been a wedding planner in NYC for over 8 years and NST Pictures have been my go-to videog team since the day we connected! I even hired them for my own wedding back in 2016. They're just really great to work with, the process is always very smooth and on the wedding day you won't have those crazy lights and giant cameras in your face, you won't even know they are there, which is the true beauty of working with them. They coordinate and work alongside your photography team and you get to just live in the moment, and soak up every second of fun on your wedding day all while not being posed or interrupted to re-do something. Then when the final video edits are being made and you have that final product you can also really appreciate why you chose to hire a videographer. They capture live moments in action that you just can't get with still photography. Knowing what I know now I would ensure to hire NST Pictures for my wedding day over and over again, they're truly amazing!

Owner Jill Bray is a passionate visual storyteller who is ready to capture the moments that matter from your once-in-a-lifetime celebration. Professional and personable, she understands how busy your special day is and is dedicated to helping you to relive it for generations to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
As a photography studio we work with a lot of videography companies and to be honest, they usually don't leave much of an impression on us. We are both there to do a similar job so as long as we both respect each other, we are all good to go. Things are different when we work with Jill and her crew. She makes the day a lot of fun and her professionalism when it comes to working together is second to none. Her smile is contagious and her passion for the art is apparent to everyone. We usually don't view many videos from the weddings we capture but we make a point to watch Jill's and we love seeing her perspective of the day. Yes, we were there too but she captures so many little moments that we even sometimes miss. JBray Media is one of three videography companies we recommend and couldn't give her higher praise.

My name is Glenn! Aside from making videos for couples and businesses, I spend a lot of time outdoors, whether that is hiking or playing mini-golf. I myself just got married on October 25, 2020, to a lovely lady named Katie. I have a knack for adventure and a desire to explore the world that we live in. Let's work together to tell your story for all the people you care about!

Glenn blew our wedding video out of the water! He was able to come before the contracted time and even stay later to get all the best footage! He fit right in with our photographer and other vendors flawlessly! He brought his second shooter along and matched up all the best shots with our officiant's kind words about us and the outcome of the video was an incredible a tear-jerker! He worked so hard to get the final video to us even before our photos got edited back to us- he is very timely and dedicated to make your day special! Glenn has also done a few projects for my husband's company and is flexible to make your event and shift around his schedule. His quality is top notch! Bottom line, everything Ibberson Visuals touches is GOLD!

I am not a girl that loves getting pictures taken of myself, but I LOVE looking at the pictures she took!! She was so professional, energetic, and talented! She got the best shots and captured and memories and emotions. Her turnover time for the pics was incredible! She gave us a sneak peak and then supplied us with tons of pictures so quickly. She is the only photographer I will ever use. Can’t stress enough how fabulous she is.

I have been working in the hospitality industry for over 10 years. I have bartended weddings in the past and I decided to start my own mobile bartending business so I can have more creativity in my work. My goal is to provide you with the best customer service on the most special day of your life. I love bartending weddings because I love seeing everyone come together and celebrate the happy couple. I look forward to helping your build the perfect drink menu for your special day!

As a coordinator, working with vendors that are quick to respond is a huge plus! Kelly was easy to work with in the weeks leading up to the wedding and on the day of the bartender, Katie, was wonderful! I would be honored to work with Sips and Shakers in the future!
