We’re two sisters with a shared love for hospitality, celebration, and unforgettable food experiences. The Grazing Sisters was born from our passion for creating beautiful, curated charcuterie displays that bring people together. Whether it’s an intimate bridal shower or a grand wedding celebration, we put our hearts into every detail—from the freshest ingredients to the artful presentation. We love what we do because we get to be part of life’s most special moments, helping couples celebrate with flavor, beauty, and joy.

I honestly didn’t think a charcuterie cart would be one of the highlights of our wedding—but The Grazing Sisters proved me wrong. Everything looked incredible and tasted even better. You could tell a lot of care and creativity went into the setup. Guests were raving about the display and kept going back for more. I appreciated how professional and smooth the service was from start to finish. Highly recommend these ladies—they brought something really special to our big day. Thank you so much!

Hi I'm Andrew! I first started filming weddings when my sister got married in 2017. I quickly fell in love with the entire process and getting to know all the couples and their guests. Maybe I'm just a hopeless romantic haha (My guilty pleasure is Hallmark movies, once I walk in the room with it on I have to see how it ends!).

Our wedding band is a group of 5 best friends with BIG personalities. The whole musical aspect of the industry was run by cookie-cutter wedding bands that looked so much more corporate than artistic. So many couple's feel trapped into choosing a band that would simply play songs, but not give the crowd a performance. The reception is meant to be high energy, interactive, and engaging. As artists that tour the country and live the music we play, we truly believe we are the best in the country at providing our weddings with something real. Something that they can remember and take home with them for years to come.

We could not have asked for a better photographer for our wedding day!! From the moment we met, Ashley made us feel completely at ease, and throughout the entire process, she was both professional and personable. She listened to our thoughts and needs, and executed them beautifully!! The day of the wedding, she captured every special moment—both big and small—with such precision and artistry. Ashley didn’t just take pictures; she told the story of our day through her lens. Every time we look at our photos, we are transported back to that magical day, reliving the emotions, the laughter, and even the quiet, tender moments we might have missed in the hustle and bustle of it all. Oh and if you are also camera-nervous couple like us, don’t worry, Ashley gets your back!! Her attention to detail and ability made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera! We were both a little nervous about being photographed, but she had a way of guiding us through each shot in such a relaxed, natural way that we almost forgot we were posing. ;) The final images exceeded all of our expectations!! She perfectly balanced candid shots with more traditional portraits, and the lighting, composition, and timing were just flawless! We looked at our photos and we were both like “who are these stunning people??” We’ve received countless compliments on the photos, our families and friends are still raving about how beautiful and authentic the photos are, and we’ll treasure them for the rest of our lives!! We’re so grateful to have had Southern & Grace Photography as part of our wedding day—captured the essence of who we are as a couple, and we are very thankful for her professionalism, talent, and the heart she put into her work—truly a highlight of our wedding experience! 10/10 recommended!! :)

Cannot recommend Cece enough! First and foremost the pictures turned out AMAZING. Most of my guests didn’t take photos throughout the event simply because they saw Cece everywhere and knew she was getting the shot AND SHE WAS. She was so communicative and fun to work with. We are also new to the area and she was amazing at helping us find other great and reliable vendors.

Hi there! We are a Photography business based in Alpharetta, GA. More than just capturing moments, We strive to create a beautiful story of the day. Whether it's small details, people smiling or epic moments through the day, We find magic in every expression or unique moment. If you're looking for a professional photographer that cares about the clients as much as the quality of the photos, let's connect and create something special together!

Ed and his team (Katie & Khiray) were simply outstanding! From the moment we first met with Ed, we knew that he was perfect for us. Professional, personable and kind. Ed did a great job with our engagement photo shoot, but we were completely blown away by photos and the personalized video that literally captured every perfect moment of our wedding day. Ed was so responsive and prepared. He gave us all that we asked for and more! He captured all of the right moments on camera and on film - the emotions, the laughter, and the overall "vibe" of our wedding party, our guests and even our decor. Selecting the right photographer is critical because there are moments that neither the groom nor the bride sees in real time on the wedding day. We were overwhelmed with happiness when we saw the photos that allowed us to see everything that we missed! Every photo was perfect, and we have watched our video over and over again. It has become one of our favorite movies! It was, and still is, such a great feeling to have such vivid memories at our fingertips! We thoroughly enjoyed seeing Ed and his team laughing and joking with all of us throughout the day. We had such a great time and they joined right in. It was a perfect fit, and we just can't say THANK YOU enough!! Regal Photography is absolutely the best!!

I am a published photographer located in the beautiful state of Tennessee. I am a mama to two fascinating, wild little girls and I have a passion for running around, breathing in life. Photography has been a life long passion of mine; I can remember being a small child running around with disposable cameras trying to capture everything in site. Now, as an adult, photography is my way of making permanent what I, and others, hold close. I love tattoos, am romance book obsessed (honestly this career could not have been better picked) and hope to one day go sky diving! Now that you know a bit about me, I can't wait to learn about you!

From the moment we booked Beautiful Images by Toni, their communication was fast, helpful, and responsive. Toni's unique, creative, and fun style captured the excitement of our special day perfectly. She was there to help wherever she could, making everything feel seamless and just right. We are thrilled with the beautiful photos that will allow us to relive our wedding day for years to come. Toni and her team truly went above and beyond to make our day unforgettable.

I specialize in capturing engagement sessions, weddings, and anniversary sessions. While I am based in Jacksonville, Florida, I love capturing weddings across the world! The images I capture are designed to feel real, a true reflection of you - photos that you can be proud of, that can be cherished by your loved ones for generations to come.

Tabitha Baldwin Photography was a joy to work with for our wedding day. Tabitha's communication style was open, kind, friendly, reliable and caring throughout the planning process. The quality of her work and overall value was exceptional - her photography style is light and airy which resulted in gorgeous photos. She provided helpful posing tips that made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. On the wedding day, Tabitha was early and ready to go. She made posing for portraits easy and really captured the love between me and my partner in her photos. Overall, Tabitha was amazing to work with - she listened closely to understand our vision and delivered beautiful photographs that we will treasure.
