31 year old dog loving, anime watching, fun loving photographer here. Everyone is welcome with me. Sexual preference/orientation, race, religion... I am here for whoever needs me. I want all of my couples to feel safe and respected, to know that they can fully be themselves with nothing but love and acceptance on my end. Bring me all of the tattooed brides in black dresses, the whimsical fairy dress elopements, the dog people who have their babies sign their license, and people who want to *ehem* partake in the local CO offerings. Whatever brings you joy, I want to bring it to life in my photos.

If you are unsure who to book for your wedding, Makenzie should be your first choice. From our engagement shoot, to the wedding day itself Makenzie perfectly captured us as a couple and actually got great photos of us, neither one of us likes taking photos often. Our wedding would not have been the absolute dream that it was without the work of this wonderful woman. I am so grateful for what she has done for us, and I know she can do the same for many more happy couples, and I cannot wait to see the love she continues to capture throughout her career.

Hi! Thanks for stopping by :) I’m Lyndsey. I’m originally from Scranton, PA and have spent the past couple years bopping around the PNW exploring its vast beauty. Most recently I’ve planted my roots in Philly with my boyfriend and dog and it certainly feels like home! Although I mostly crave being out in nature I still thrive off of city life! My love for photography feeds my soul for both.

We had our wedding reception at a brewery and wanted some easy to eat sweet and salty snacks. These popcorn flavors were delicious, they sent us flavors to try before we decided. We chose 4 flavors and they shipped them right to our house. The popcorn buckets had our cute custom labels which they designed for us and looked PERFECT! We had tons of compliments on the popcorn. We ordered plenty and people were grabbing them to take home at the end of the night. A perfect snack after a few beers. Theu were very fast with the samples and the order too!

Hey there! I’m Chris, and I’m stoked to be part of your wedding journey. My goal is to help make your day everything you’ve dreamed of. I'll even bring some dog treats. You can count on me to keep things stress-free—no “photographer attitude” here. If the timeline gets off track, I’ll help get it back on schedule so you can enjoy your meal. Based in Boston, I love traveling for weddings, especially intimate gatherings of 100-150 guests. I’m a fan of venues like barns, ski resorts, and castles. Capturing vibrant, cinematic images is my passion, and I focus on true-to-life editing—no overexposed skies or unnatural skin tones!

Chris was such a joy to work with! From our very first meeting before even hiring him, he really spent the time to talk through what our vision was and how we wanted our day to be captured. He was a great support every step of the way for planning as well as on the big day! In addition to being a great listener, Chris has great suggestions on how to plan for photos based on his extensive experience (angles, timing, group shots). Our wedding was a large one, so Chris hired a fantastic second lead photographer and several other photographers throughout the day so our event was seamlessly captured! Another important note - all of our family and other vendors (makeup artists, planners, etc) commented on how great it was to work with Chris, and were excited to work with him on future events - I think this is such an important quality for a photographer, and definitely appreciated how professional and friendly Chris was with EVERYONE! He kept the day moving as it should and captured some unbelievable shots that I revisit on probably a daily basis :) I honestly cannot recommend Chris enough - from his genuine care and support for you through the planning and important day, to the absolutely stunning product he delivers. Thank you Chris for everything!!

We LOVED having Jordan photograph our wedding! She was professional, communicative, and flexible when family didn't show up on time for family pics before the ceremony as planned. But above all the pictures are so beautiful! As two slightly awkward, kind of silly people, she made us feel comfortable during our couple's shoot and I think she really captured our personalities and relationship perfectly. I am so glad we went with her for our wedding!

I photograph love because I believe in it. I don’t believe in it in the way that a little girl believes in ferries or unicorns, a hopeful “I think it is real” kind of a belief, I believe in its power. I believe that love is the most important emotion we will feel in this lifetime and I believe it has the greatest ability for good. I believe that each human on this earth should have the opportunity to feel deeply loved and to love another deeply themselves. I believe that love is something that should be treasured, cared for, and celebrated.

My husband and I loved working with Allison she understood our vision and had the best personality. She was organized and helped us to prepare for the day with a plan of the photos we wanted. She definitely understood our vision and captured amazing photos of us in all the places we wanted.

Awarded Best of Zola
We found Madison because she was an Alumni from same school, UCF, as me. We booked her to do an engagement shoot (an hour outside of Orlando) and our photos turned out absolutely amazing. From that one interaction with her, it really felt like we knew her our whole lives. She is super nice, personable, and made us feel very comfortable right away. She also had so much knowledge about the area, and any questions that we had regarding the shoot. She planned and timed everything out so that we could get photos at one location, and then sunset photos by the beach 30 min away. And then when we were looking for photographers for our wedding (in Philadelphia), it was a no-brainer that we wanted to book her again to capture our big day. She came halfway up the coast and played a large role in making our day perfect. We planned the photography from 1000 miles away, and she was really communicative and helpful about the picture planning, and also just wedding planning in general. We ran into a timing issue with how the day was going to work out before the ceremony, and she helped us navigate that, and she worked to keep us on track throughout the night for the different photos that we wanted. She knew what to do & what not to do in the Church. She also worked well alongside our videographer. Ultimately, we are very happy with our experience with Madison, and the wedding photos she took turned out absolutely amazing.

I've always been a creative at heart, my own mother is an artist so maybe it's genetic? However, photography was never on my radar.

After the debut of those beautiful, phone quality captures, the inquiries came rolling in! I was pleasantly surprised and within months decided it was only right to invest in proper gear. Officially established in 2021, I've been beyond blessed with the chance to meet so many wonderful people and capture their once in a lifetime moments! Anya Grace 🖤

A dad, a son, a brother and a jack of all trades musician that loves to rock out any chance I get. I grew up in New York City. My inclination towards photography came from classic street photography and photojournalists from all over the world that told their stories through a lens. It made me pick up a camera and start shooting. Now, living in Maryland I shoot all sorts of stories and moments locally, domestically, and abroad. It's taken me a while to figure out what my "thing" is but I've come to figure out that I'm a milestone photographer. The moments your life that have proven to be meaningful -- I'll be there.

I have known Sam, the owner, for a number of years. There are many things I can speak to about his business and him as a person. First thing is that feeling you get when you meet someone that is so fun to be around that you simply don't want to stop being around them. Sam puts a smile on my face every time I see him and hear his contagious laugh. Sam also crushes the benchmark for professionalism and success in the wedding industry. What I mean by that is that if 9/10 photographers get 5 star reviews, on the same scale Sam would deserve 7 or 8 stars. He is well beyond many of our peers and it shows in the quality of his work. If I was to get married again I would choose Sam over any of the 60 or so photographers I have worked with over the years. Hands Down! Chris Hiltz Award-Winning Wedding Videographer

Liz was absolutely incredible. From our first call, she took the time and care to understand my vision and executed it flawlessly on the big day. She contributed so many creative ideas and managed so many details that just made our wedding an impeccable masterpiece exhibiting all the love surrounding the day. My husband and I come from very different backgrounds and it wasn't easy to blend two different cultures and family dynamics. Liz understood this and even hopped on calls with my family to make everyone feel heard and included. She planned the day to honor my family's traditions while respecting the desires of my husband's family. She always prioritized my husband and I but made space for our family to feel loved and included in the process. Liz took the time to understand our families and their desire for the big day while prioritizing me as a bride and a client. Her passion and dedication were evident in every detail small and large.

"I love getting to know my clients and enjoy becoming their "New Best Friend" prior to the event.". Her talent in design, organization, and management makes any experience working with her effortless. She makes you feel so comfortable & give you the confidence it will be an amazing event.

Eileen was amazing as our wedding planner / month-of coordinator. Both my husband and I were SO glad we hired her. Eileen helped us make so many decisions during the planning process that led to an extremely smooth wedding day - from where the bar was located to how we processed down the aisle, from whether to do cake or a dessert bar, to when champagne was poured - she really nailed it. She also worked with all of our vendors to coordinate setup and was onsite to help make sure everything was set up correctly & as planned. Everyone jokes that something *always* goes wrong on your wedding day, no matter how much you plan, but really we had nothing go wrong thanks to Eileen! She made our day stress-free! It's also important to call out that our venue wedding coordinator quit a couple of weeks before our wedding, and Eileen stepped up and swooped in to make sure our new point of contact at the venue was fully up-to-speed. Thank god for Eileen! I highly recommend her. And if you're on the fence about needing a wedding coordinator -- just take the leap! SO SO worth it.

DM Events planned our 200-person black tie wedding at Brooklyn Botanic Garden this fall. From the moment I first spoke to Dawn Goldsmith, I felt at ease. She is a true visionary and a powerhouse. Dawn kept not just me, but my husband, our families and our budget(!!), on track from our very first phone call to the end of the wedding night. She and her team are kind, thoughtful, sensitive to their clients’ preferences, and extremely responsive. Putting aside all of the variable twists and turns that came with the era of COVID-weddings (which were navigated with ease), Dawn designed and planned an absolutely picture perfect event that exceeded all expectations. She has impeccable taste and a way of articulating and evolving my vision better than I could. Her design-minded approach is something that was really important to me when selecting a planner – no detail too small! Regarding the day of, Dawn’s team is a well-oiled machine. If there were any hiccups (there weren’t), neither I nor my guests would have been any the wiser. It was smooth sailing. My family and I had guests approaching throughout the wedding, as well as a flood of texts and calls following the big day, saying things like “This is the nicest wedding I’ve ever been to” and “the quintessential New York City wedding”. Literally, the perfect day. Dawn Goldsmith is a total pro and a blessing to work with.

Hi! My name is Kade Alpers (they/them.) I am a queer portrait photographer based in New York City. I started doing photography at a young age as a way to express myself. As I have come into my identity as a gender-queer lesbian, I have used it as a way to tell my story and the story of other queer people. While I work with a variety of clients, my focus in photography is creating a space where queer people feel safe, seen, and confident.

I had the pleasure of working with Kade Alpers as the photographer for a recent wedding that I planned, and I can't say enough about their exceptional talent and professionalism. Kade was an absolute delight to collaborate with, and I can confidently say that you will not regret booking with them First and foremost, Kade Alpers was super easy to work with. From our very first interaction, it was clear that they were not only passionate about their craft but also deeply committed to ensuring a seamless and unforgettable experience for the couple. Their warm and approachable demeanor made everyone feel at ease, which is an important quality when it comes to wedding photography. Kade also had remarkable attention to detail. They went above and beyond to make sure that every aspect of the wedding day was captured perfectly. Kade's meticulous planning and organization skills played a crucial role in ensuring that the day went as scheduled. They were well-prepared and had a clear timeline in mind, which helped keep everything on track. What truly set Kade apart was their ability to remain flexible and calm when some unforeseen circumstances arose. Their presence was a calming influence during moments of chaos, ensuring that the day continued smoothly. I was thrilled when I saw the images from the day. They were truly beautiful! I can wholeheartedly recommend Kade Alpers as a wedding photographer.

I'm Victoria, Owner + Lead Planner at Presley Planning with four years experience in the wedding industry and seven years in beauty marketing. My unique background is where I became the detail-oriented and creative professional that I am today (& weddings are ALL about the details!). My wedding experience includes traditional and non-traditional venues, large outdoor tented weddings and bespoke intimate ceremonies. I customize each package to my clients’ needs and make sure you're enjoying the process along the way! The only thing I love more than my husband + two pups (George + Henry), is making my clients' dream wedding vision come to life!

Victoria, Danielle and Kyle can solve and will solve absolutely anything that comes up on the big day and all the days leading up. I was a bride on a budget so was unsure if I "needed" a planner. Let me tell you, you do, and you freaking deserve it. No matter how much you plan you WILL need her. Every question, she has the answer and the 4 weeks leading up to your wedding are insane, so the fact that she coordinated all the communication with vendors legit saved my job. Day of, she and her squad showed up with a legit Mary Poppins bag of anything you would need day of. From safety pins to foot numbing spray to q tips. Because all of the reviews of planners on this site are glowing and positive, which makes it hard to choose, let me list out what she did for me as she was actually a super woman planner. 1. On my way to the church I realized I didn't have my veil. I gave her a call, she picked up on the first ring and didn't even bother to ask me where it was all she said was "no problem"! She sped back to venue and retrieved it and made it back to the church right on time. 2. After a sunshine filled week nothing short of an actual cyclone descended on my wedding day. I was determined to make my boardwalk pics happen (despite that legit never being possible). As I looked at my frigid bridesmaids I couldn't hold it in and the full sob occurred. We relocated into the venue and I was shocked to find my venue 100% set up 2 hours early and it looked absolutely stunning. Victoria had foreseen this inevitability and saved my day. 3. Oh and about the full sob, she was there with a large glass of Chardonnay, the perfect shade of Dior lip gloss and a beauty blender to patch me back together after. 4. The entire day went on exactly as planned per the timeline bc she was there! Ladies, your not going to be wearing your Apple Watch on your wedding day and you are going to be so emotional you don't deserve to be thinking about what's next. 5. We forgot my MIL favorite bottle of wine at my dads house, Danielle zoomed to his house, got in using a hidden key, retrieved it and showed up and handed it to me drenched from the rain. 6. After my wedding day when I felt guilty for having social anxiety the day of she was so supportive and honest in telling me all my feelings were 100% normal and don't trust everything you see on instagram (many brides are unprepared for 300 eyes on them). Last thing, unlike some NJ planners that only do weddings over 100k, she isn't like that AT ALL. The best planners can work with any budget, and Victoria is actually THE BEST.

  • Serves Stony Brook, NY for additional fees

Music is a lifeblood of life's journey: a universal language that invokes emotion and creates memories; and when thoughtfully and passionately curated into a soundtrack, custom-tailored to specifications, preferences and tastes, the outcome is truly magical, noteworthy, and filled with joy, sentiment, and connection. For over 30 years, DJ Denise LaCarubba | Vibeology IA has aligned with clients to create and present soundtracks for weddings, fashion shows, fundraisers, corporate, international and private events.

We met Denise when she DJ'd a friend's wedding and it was the most fun reception I'd ever attended. I knew she HAD to be my DJ if ever I got married! From day 1 of meeting with her for our wedding, it was clear that her goal was to give us the best party of our lives, whatever that looked like to us. She had great advice throughout the entire process and took time to get to know us and what style/vibe we wanted for our reception. Communication is key, and she had the logistics of the reception planned down to the minute. The music portal is very user friendly and it was really fun to think through our music. If you need song advice, she's your gal. She will strictly adhere to your do NOT play list. She gets the guests engaged and is truly a party starter (if that's what you want). Our guests told us they were sore the next morning because they literally never left the dance floor. Many have asked us to do an annual anniversary party and have Denise DJ it. She will become your family DJ for life and we know of at least 2 guests who plan to have her DJ their wedding. She is a lovely human and a STELLAR DJ. You will not regret asking her to DJ your special day! <3

Hey friend, I’m Erica! I am a documentary style destination wedding photographer, based in Seattle! My passion is capturing, true love through my lens. I’ve been professionally photographing weddings for over seven years, and I even grew up in the industry! My mom is a wedding coordinator, and growing up, I fell in love with all things weddings!

We loved working with Erica from our engagement photos to our wedding! She captured our small, mountain elopement in such a magical way. When we look back at the photos, we remember how we felt in that moment because of how well she captured the environment and the details. This is especially impressive considering we got married at sunrise, outside, in the fog/rain on top of a mountain. Our day was very simple and yet it looks almost cinematic in our photos. She has a creative eye for what she does, but is still open to making any ideas you may have come to life. We very much appreciated her knowledge of how to pose us and our guests in photos, as well as her grounded and down-to-earth personality. A wedding photographer is one of the most important purchases you’ll make in your lifetime and I truly believe Erica is well worth the investment! We now have our love story captured in such a beautiful way that we will get to look back on for a lifetime. Thanks Erica!

It's hard to imagine an 18 hour wedding day with 300 guests feeling "intimate." But Tina and her team worked seamlessly with all of our vendors - so we were able to catch our breath, and take a few needed minutes for ourselves. We were having so much fun, that we forgot we were actually posing. But my favorite photos are the ones that they took when we weren't looking or posing. It was so difficult picking out photos for our album because we love them all. Between our books and our prints, we have our house plastered. We are so glad we chose them.
