Awarded Best of Zola
We booked True Hope Photography for our micro wedding because she offered affordable rates and flexibility that worked with our vision. From the start, her communication felt natural and exactly what we needed as a bride. On our wedding day, she showed up on time and directed everyone with such warmth and confidence that our guests felt at ease. She was genuinely friendly while keeping things moving smoothly, which is exactly the balance we wanted. We just got our photos two weeks ago and we're already obsessed with what we've seen so far. We can't wait to view the full gallery because every sneak peek has been stunning.

Waking Starlight 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $7,000
  • Serves Athens, LA

I seek the hard-to-see moments, the ones that we might normally miss. I'm looking at the in-between, telling the story of intimacy and of elegance, serving clients worldwide as their Dallas & destination wedding photographer. Whether your story shines most in the small, quiet moments, or on the dance floor with your closest friends, I'm documenting the moments of love between you all, and every beautiful detail in between.

I discovered Jenny on social media several years ago and I knew then that I wanted her to shoot my wedding day. Her style is amazing, she’s a perfect human being, and her albums are a true work of art that tell a story rather than still images. When we received our wedding albums my jaw was on the floor. I could not have asked for a better photographer to shoot our wedding. She exceeded every expectation that I had and I want her capture moments of our life going forward! She is very easy to work with, punctual, and truly the best photographer that I’ve ever seen. Anyone would be lucky to have her on their big day!

Jessica Lanham Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves Athens, LA

I capture the heart of motherhood — from the “yes” to the baby bump, newborn snuggles, and every milestone in between. Weddings are where so many motherhood stories begin, and I love documenting the start of a family’s journey just as much as the years that follow. As a mom myself, I know how quickly seasons change and how meaningful it is to have photos that reflect real love and connection. I also specialize in heirloom products like wall art, albums, and professional prints, so your memories are beautifully displayed and treasured for generations.

Jessica was perfect in telling me her ideas and what she had planned. Her work is beautiful, so personal, so thoughtful, she really captured the special moments! She took lovely pictures, both personal ones with bride and groom and for the whole family. I loved how sweet she was!! Like I was talking to a best friend or a family member! Really makes everything personal and comfortable for everyone and it made my first and hopefully last wedding just amazing!

Lauren Rinaudo Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Serves Athens, LA

Thanks for visiting! I’m Lauren, a natural light photographer serving Shreveport/Bossier City and surrounding areas. I have been doing photography since 2010. It brings me joy to freeze moments in time that are the hi-lights of my client’s lives. Whether it be a couple welcoming a new baby, a senior graduating high school, or a wedding day they will remember forever, documenting those days is just a dream! I married my crazy, outdoorsy, other half, Blake, in 2016. We welcomed our first baby girl in 2017 and will welcome our second baby girl in 2020.

From our first conversation, Lauren made the whole process feel simple and straightforward. She listened to what we wanted and delivered exactly that on our wedding day. What really stood out was how easy she was to work with—it felt like we had another friend there celebrating with us instead of just a photographer. Lauren captured all the moments that mattered without adding stress to an already busy day. Her photos are stunning and really show the genuine love and joy from start to finish. We'd recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who cares about making the day special.

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 
Rating: 4.9 (93 reviews)
  • Florist
  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Athens, LA

In 2013, 8-year wedding veteran Amy McCord Jones realizes she wouldn't be able to afford to hire her own floral services if she was a bride. Then, Amy discovers that there is basically zero help available for DIY brides. No flower recipes. No instructions. No access to florist-grade blooms. Rude. So she launches Flower Moxie! Flower Moxie remains a humble, tucked-away small business out of Oklahoma City. We don’t zoom around on scooters in some fancy high-rise. We stock an average kitchen with canned wine and Aldi chips and listen to true crime podcasts while photographing curvy ranunculus. Join us. There’s cake, hugs, and acceptance here.

HiMotive Entertainment & Photobooth did a great job keeping our wedding reception fun and upbeat. While their communication was a bit delayed leading up to the event, they were ultimately effective in executing on the day-of. The DJ kept the party going all night with a good song selection, though they did play 3 Taylor Swift songs in a row at the start, which we would have preferred more variety. The MC's ad-libs got a little overbearing at times, but overall they did a nice job sticking to the schedule and making important announcements. We'd recommend HiMotive to other couples looking for an energetic DJ.

The photographer, videographer, and photo booth was absolutely perfect and our guests had a blast! However, even after going through the work of submitting a Spotify play list and adding do not play songs or DJ played the wrong version of our first dance song (I checked and we had the correct version listed on our playlist we sent over), he also played songs from our do not play list to the point I, the bride, came over to ask if he had the wrong list. He admitted he was using songs from the do not play list as he was not paying attention. I would also like to note, though our wedding was more casual, our DJ was dressed in a sloppy manner. His shirt was half untucked from his pants, there were stains on his shirt and pants. Besides a few hiccups, direct Entertainment was wonderful to work with!
