“Tyler flew out to shoot our wedding in SLC. I could sit here and tell you all the normal stuff, like how friendly he is, or how proactive he is, or how he makes everyone (even somehow miraculously my wife's grandma) feel comfortable on camera, or how his style is cinematic but still keeps the bright, happy, fun vibe of the day, or how my wife still raves out our wedding video as one of her favorite keepsakes from the wedding. I could tell you all of those things, and they are true, but that should all be obvious from his portfolio and his other reviews. Instead, I'll tell you a quick story that shows you who he actually is. On the way to our reception we ended up getting a flat tire (someone other than Tyler was driving, for the record). I was in my suit and my wife was in her dress and so neither of us were exactly thrilled about the idea of crawling around in the gutter on our wedding day. Without a second thought, Tyler jumped out and volunteered to change the tire for us. No one asked him to. That's not in his job description. He just did it, and wore a smile the entire time. That's just the kind of guy he is! We ended up making the reception on time thanks to him. I tend to be a pretty harsh critic and basically never rate anything full points, but Tyler is the rare exception who genuinely earns a 10/10. You won't regret booking him!”

“I can’t say enough positive things about Jess and the Cookie Booth. We had Jess run her Cookie Booth at our wedding, and it was a huge hit! It was something unique that people couldn’t stop talking about. It was the perfect photo booth/wedding favor combination. Jess did it all from taking the pictures, to printing the photos on edible icing, decorating and packaging them all for about 175 guests. Plus, the cookies were delicious! She worked with Up and Away Amy to create a personalized backdrop that totally blew me away. Jess was professional, kind, open to my ideas, and overall a pleasure to work with. Since my wedding I have also asked her to make me personalized cookies, and she is so talented with her designs and attention to detail. I would recommend the Cookie Booth for any event! Thank you Jess for being a special part of our wedding day!”

“We had the absolute pleasure of Chris Morris from Buffaluv soundz DJing our wedding this July. Everything from the initial consultation to the last hours he was there cleaning up his equipment was a great experience in which we felt true dedication from him and his team towards making our day perfect. They were extremely down to earth and easy to work with. Chris helped personalize so many touches within our day from a unique first dance to hyping our folks up for the dance floor. He was so extraordinarily professional arriving very early to set up and make sure everything was perfect and checking in with us in regard to all sorts of details that really brought our dreams to reality. I can’t say enough about what a difference it made to have such an attentive to detail and caring person in charge of the sound, music and overall vibe of our wedding day. There was nothing generic, boring or overdone and every moment felt like it was truly ours. Chris is the best! I would recommend him to everyone! we went with a package that included the Photo Booth and Cloud effect for the dance floor which made our first dance so fire! Everyone really loved the Photo Booth. They had great props and backgrounds and they even gave us a photo album filled with our guest pics. That was an awesome surprise at the end of the night. Lastly, I just have to add, I was worried about DJ equipment and the look of it and the whole set up that Chris brought was gorgeous modern white, clean and elegant. We were so impressed! It really added to our aesthetic perfectly. Overall, they were just an absolute 10 out of 10 and made our wedding a fairytale come true!”

There were guests at my wedding getting married this year who were begging their significant other to let Michael do their wedding!!! Booking Michael for our wedding was hands down the best decision we made, and he truly made our experience 10,0000 times better than I could’ve imagined. The energy, the personal touch, the “mix” (we told him we did not want back to back songs playing & he mixed the CRAP out of our music it was AMAZING). Incredible. He is truly phenomenal, and the best part is he’s so passionate about what he does. I could literally go on forever. BOOK MICHAEL FOR YOUR EVENT.

My work has been viewed internationally in publications such as National Geographic, Time, Rolling Stone, People, Reuters, New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Huffington Post, Newsweek, Aljazeera, NBC, CBS, CNN, BBC, MSNBC, CBC, Reddit, Buzzfeed, The Guardian, The Atlantic, Esquire, and more. When I'm not making photos you may find me mountaineering, playing an accordion or piano, tending to my tiny house and tiny garden or riding my bike here, there, and ev'ry where. Also, I'm afraid of gum.

  • Fine art style

The beautiful moments that we share with others are those that make our lives rich and meaningful. Being truly present with people and using the camera to share their essence is what I'm all about. For over 10 years I have been honored to photograph weddings for couples from around the world. It is a joy to be a part of each one of them as every moment of the day is brimming with a certain golden, shimmering happiness. I am committed to telling the story of your love, naturally and elegantly.

“When we were researching photographers for our wedding, I wanted to find someone whose photos told a beautiful story from start to finish. I found Tara through raving reviews online and after our initial meeting, she made her way out to Washington DC to shoot our engagement pictures. One pandemic and a full calendar year and some change later, we met again for our wedding day in Cleveland, Ohio. Words cannot express how wonderful Tara and Matt were. Tara's serene demeanor and Matt's easy-going personality made our wedding day a breeze. I very distinctly remember calling her two days before to iron out last-minute changes on my part and telling her how much calmer I was just hearing her voice. Tara has a way of capturing memories in the most beautiful way. Her photos are not only gorgeous, but looking at one single photo, she captures the energy and emotion in that moment. It's very clear she takes much pride in her work and treats her clients as family. There is no one else Jonathan and I would trust to capture the most precious and important memories in our lives than Tara.”

Hello brides!! My name is Layla, I'm a professional makeup artist from Buffalo, NY! I have 8 years of experience in makeup. I specialized in natural, glamour, or dramatic makeup! I have always been passionate about art and one of the most exquisite expressions of art is makeup!

Showing people the beauty that lies within each one of them. I am truly thankful to have a career that I love so dearly!

“Layla is very sweet. Layla is experienced, talented and is extremely well versed in all things makeup. She executed my vision perfectly. My makeup did not move, and I got compliments all day. My bridesmaids also all loved their makeup. I would use Layla again and I highly recommend her.”

“We had our wedding at Events at Pearl Street in The Webb, and truly could not have been happier with our experience. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous — the exposed brick, huge arched doorways, original wood, warm lighting, and historic character were the perfect backdrop for the romantic, vintage-inspired wedding we envisioned. I had a pretty specific decorating vision, and it wasn’t necessarily a traditional one. We used tons of ferns and greenery, brass candlesticks and candelabras, candles, vintage gold details, family photographs, and bowls of fruit as our centerpieces rather than traditional floral arrangements. I gave the team fairly detailed instructions for how I wanted everything arranged, and they absolutely exceeded my expectations. They didn’t just put our decorations out — everything felt thoughtfully styled. The little finishing touches they added made the entire space feel cohesive and intentional. We had several meetings leading up to the wedding to work through the décor and all of the smaller details, and I really appreciated how willing they were to help us create something that felt personal to us. The finished room didn’t feel remotely like a cookie-cutter wedding. Even a friend of ours who works professionally in events was incredibly impressed with the aesthetic and how beautifully everything was executed. The food was AMAZING and was one of the things we heard about most from our guests afterward. Everyone raved about it. The dessert bar was fantastic, and I cannot recommend the late-night snack station enough. We did pizza, wings, and pretzels, and it was a huge hit. The drinks were great as well. I also really want to mention how well they accommodated dietary restrictions. My brother has celiac disease — he isn’t simply gluten-free by preference, and avoiding cross-contact is extremely important for him. The team was able to provide gluten-free food for him while taking his celiac disease seriously, and he was able to eat at our wedding without having any symptoms afterward. Anyone with celiac disease knows how stressful eating at a large catered event can be, so having him be able to safely enjoy dinner with everyone else meant a lot to us. Another huge bonus is the location for photography. There are so many completely different backdrops right outside the venue — historic architecture, downtown streets and cityscapes, beautiful buildings, and green spaces. We were able to get everything from elegant architectural portraits to downtown photos to pictures surrounded by greenery without having to travel elsewhere. Most importantly, the Pearl Street team gave us the flexibility to make the wedding genuinely feel like ours. We had a somewhat unconventional aesthetic and a lot of little details that mattered to us, and they took our ideas seriously and executed them beautifully. Walking into the finished space and seeing everything together exceeded what I had pictured in my head. The venue was beautiful, the food was fantastic, and our guests had an amazing time. We would absolutely recommend Events at Pearl Street and The Webb to anyone looking for a Buffalo wedding venue with character, great food, and a team that can help bring a unique vision to life.”
