We greatly appreciated his patience and openness both at our engagement shoot and our big day! We had periodic rain on our wedding day and he was able to adapt and get so many amazing shots and some phenomenal night time photos also! We are so glad we had Chris as our wedding photographer and highly recommend him!”

Our lavish cannoli concierge service is perfect for weddings, backyard birthdays, holiday parties, corporate events, and more!

“Such a Fun Addition to Our Wedding!! My mom surprise booked Don Cannoli for our wedding and I am SO happy she did because WOW, our guests absolutely loved him!! He walked around the reception dancing, handing out cannolis, and just making everyone happy. It was so fun watching people react to him, and he brought such a great energy to the night. It wasn’t just dessert, it was genuinely part of the entertainment! And most importantly... the cannolis were SOOOOO GOOD. We didn’t have a traditional wedding cake, so having Don Cannoli was such a perfect and unique way to add another dessert option while also giving our guests a fun experience. I would 100% recommend him, especially if you’re like us and want something a little different from the typical wedding dessert or even a a fun addition to your wedding! Delicious cannolis AND an entertaining guy walking around your reception handing them out?? What more could you want!!! So AWESOME”

Discover the unique, boutique-inspired approach with Limelight Event Group crafting sophisticated and modern event experiences. We redefine the art of entertainment, proudly standing apart from the ordinary. In our world, 'average' is a term left behind. Our commitment goes beyond the expected – it's about curating an experience that reflects and captures the essence of who you are. Our goal is to ensure that your event becomes a cherished memory, marked by exceptional entertainment and flawless execution.

“Julian at Limelight and DJ Rashaun were absolutely perfect for us. We knew the vibe we wanted — and, frankly, it was a little off the beaten path since we wanted a bit of a 1930s feeling. We thought we were doomed, though, because we're terrible at selecting exact songs and had no sense of how the music fit into the overall schedule of the night. We hadn't thought past our ceremony! Julian kept things positive, steered us when we had no idea what to do, but gave us space to put our stamp on our evening when he could sense we had ideas burbling. He was helpful, positive and always prompt without ever being pushy, and so many of our favorite moments came out of the things he got us to think about. Rashaun was awesome too. He took our weird list of preferred songs and turned it into an amazing night of love, dining, and dancing. It felt like he'd known for years, always hitting the right classic hit, the right remix, the right memory moments. He was such a kind and lovely man too. We'd hire them again in a heartbeat!”

She helped develop our aesthetic and style choices as well as speed up our planning process by recommending vendors within our price range (she helped us find our DJ, who was awesome). She was easy to communicate with if we had any questions and her calm, cool demeanor gave us confidence that we were in a good spot with our planning.

We're Jamie & Zoey! We met in 2016 in art school when Zoey asked Jamie to be her partner for a project. We quickly became close friends and the rest is history... In the summer of 2023 we joined forces again, working together to capture you and your love story! Jamie's photography journey started back in high school with a love for film photography before heading to art school where she majored in photography. After graduating in 2020, she began photographing weddings for larger studios before starting her own studio. In 2023, Zoey left her 9-5 and joined the studio full-time focusing on both photo and video creation.

“I truly cannot say enough good things about Jamie Stow Photography. We found Jamie at the VERY last minute after my cousin posted in the PhilaQueens Facebook group looking for a photographer for our wedding — which was only about a week away. I reached out to Jamie, explained our unusual timeline and that neither my husband nor I had ever had professional photos taken before, and from the very beginning she was incredibly kind, flexible and helpful. I initially thought we only needed 1–2 hours of coverage because I genuinely had no idea what we needed. Jamie took the time to look over our wedding-day timeline, helped us figure out how to make the most of our time, suggested when to do our first look and family photos, and made sure we had enough coverage so that nothing felt rushed. I was also very upfront that my husband had given me a pretty firm budget to work with, and Jamie was incredibly accommodating and worked with us to come up with something that fit what we needed and what we were comfortable spending. On the wedding day, Jamie was AMAZING. We told her right away that we had absolutely no idea how to pose and were giving her full creative control, and I’m so glad we did. She directed us through everything, found different areas around the property for photos, gave us little instructions that made such a difference, and somehow made two people who aren’t used to being photographed feel completely comfortable. What impressed me even more was how effortlessly they handled our families. Both my husband and I have separated parents with significant others, siblings, a four-month-old daughter, and a whole wedding party that we were constantly moving in and out of photos. Jamie somehow remembered EVERYONE’S names and relationships almost immediately. She was directing people by name, remembering who belonged with which side of the family, swapping parents and siblings in and out, and keeping everything moving without it ever feeling chaotic. I genuinely don’t know how she did it!! And then we got our entire edited gallery only 13 DAYS after our wedding!! The gallery itself was beautifully organized into sections for our first look/couple photos, getting ready, family & wedding party, and ceremony. Most importantly, we absolutely LOVE our pictures. Jamie captured our day so beautifully, and looking through them genuinely brings us right back to it. To think we almost didn’t hire a professional photographer at all and then somehow found Jamie about a week before our wedding feels incredibly lucky. She went above and beyond from the moment I messaged her until the end of our wedding day. I would recommend Jamie without hesitation, and I’m already hoping we can find an excuse to book her again for family or holiday photos. Thank you, Jamie, for giving us these memories forever. We are so grateful we found you!”

Awarded Best of Zola
“Tay is an absolutely phenomenal photographer, and I feel so blessed and honored that we chose her to capture our wedding. From our very first Zoom call, Tay radiated warmth and approachability. She not only listened but genuinely understood my vision and experience—often more than I did, which made me feel so at ease. She became a safe space in the whirlwind of wedding planning, and that sense of trust and comfort was invaluable as we prepared to capture the most important moments of our lives. I was very particular about the photographic style I wanted for our wedding. It was important to me that the images felt natural—like anyone looking at them could feel as though they were right there with us. I also wanted crisp, high-quality photos, and Tay delivered all of that and more. Our wedding photos are absolutely stunning. On the wedding day, Tay and her team were incredible. Tay was like a shadow in the best way possible—always present but never intrusive. There were times I’d think, “Where is she?” only to realize later that she was exactly where she needed to be, capturing every moment flawlessly. At other times, it felt like she and her team were right in the mix, blending in so seamlessly with our family and friends. They made it so easy for Jeff and me to stay in the moment and be fully present throughout the day. The experience and expertise Tay brought to the table were worth every penny. I’m so grateful my sister recommended her to us, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any bride who wants to look back on her wedding day and feel nothing but magic. One thing I do wish we had done—and something I highly recommend to any future bride and groom—is taking the engagement photo shoot. We booked Tay about five or six months before our wedding but had already done an engagement shoot with a friend, so we kept putting it off until it never happened. Looking back, I realize how valuable that experience would’ve been. It would’ve helped us prepare better for the family photo sessions and be more conscious of certain poses, like during our first kiss. While our photos are still breathtaking, I believe the engagement shoot would’ve given us that extra edge of confidence and familiarity, which is one of its biggest benefits.”

“Deerfield Golf Club was the perfect choice for our wedding venue. From the very beginning, the communication was easy, informative, and they were quick to respond to all of our questions. The venue itself was beautiful, bright, and had tons of options to choose from. We were excited to see that we could pick from upgrades too and stay within out budget. On the day of our wedding, they took care of basically all the details and I didn't have to worry about anything. Wendy and Lizette were both fabulous in making this a perfect wedding day that exceeded all of our expectations. We had an absolute blast and still enjoy talking with friends and family about how amazing it was. I would highly recommend Deerfield Golf Club to any couple looking for a stunning, stress-free wedding venue.”

“CT Artistry was by far one of the best choices I made for my wedding day! Christine was able to help answer any questions and made suggestions for me and my skincare routine during my trial run for the makeup. Because of her suggestions, I ended up with a healthy glow on my skin and less wrinkles so I didn't have to wear concealer at all for my wedding! I was thrilled about that since I wanted to have my freckles still show through and have a more natural look for the pictures. Even my husband, who prefers when I don't wear makeup, said I looked like me while highlighting my best features. Not only that but her skincare recommendations are something I've continued since then. She also did the make-up for my sisters and friends in my bridal party (even including my older sister who had reservations since she has sensitive skin). She was able to provide make-up for her without bothering her skin at all. Thank you Christine for everything on our special day!”

“Getting married at the Christiana Hilton was a great decision. We loved the smaller ballroom so we could have an intimate wedding. The ceremony space, ballroom and hotel in general was beautiful. The food was delicious and we keep getting compliments from our guests. We had our rehearsal dinner there as well and that food was awesome as well. It was so convenient to arrive Friday afternoon and not have to leave until Sunday. And Katie made it so much easier than I expected. I did not want a venue where I had to do all the work and Katie made it so I did the bare minimum a bride can do and still got a beautiful and personalized wedding. It was a perfect day and weekend!”
