Lindsay is absolutely the best, from first connecting with her she has always kept great communication and always answers timely. We scheduled our engagement shoot and it happened to be a rainy day. Lindsay traveled hours to make sure she was there for us and despite the rain and conditions she made everything about the shoot amazing and fun, and worked her magic to make sure we got as many beautiful pictures and poses as we can even with the rain. She exceeded our expectations not only with the our photos but also receiving our full online album so fast to help us get our save the dates out quicker. We can’t wait to have Lindsay photograph and video our wedding. To be able to work with someone like Lindsay is such a relief she is truly the best not only at what she does but she is reliable, trustworthy, hardworking and dedicated to putting her full time and effort into her clients!

Giving her professional opinion along the way helping to make sure my day went smoothly. I felt so secure in their hands. They checked in with me regularly which is important to know that your vendor knows they are working with you and hasn't forgotten or doesn't need you to remind them or check in with them, they check in with you. Come the day of our event everything went as planned and the crowd LOVED our DJ.

Dani shot our engagement session in Indiana (where we live) and our elopement in Colorado. We vetted SO.MANY photographers and the long search ended up with Elle & Co Photography and we are elated with our choice! Dani's professionalism is top-notch and she's also so fun to be around. She has a talent with her profession but her passion puts her over the edge. Dani's knowledge for locations helped us nail down the perfect elopement spot. She also nailed down our vision for our engagement session location; she is well versed in locations all around and we were thankful for all the help in planning that. The day of our elopement had unpredictable weather and I didn't want to get wet and be rained on. Dani was able to execute a plan for us to elope later in the day without any stress or hassle. She had new timeline and plans over to us immediately so we could have the perfect outside elopement and the day turned out amazing! Jed (her PHENOMENAL second hand man) brought & put up a pop up changing tent for us so I didn't have to hike in my dress the whole time. Our elopement was everything we wanted and more thanks to Dani & Jed & Elle & Co Photographer. Thank you forever!

They were able to capture all of the milestones during the day and were even willing to hop on our party bus when we wanted footage of the wedding party driving around! We were so impressed by how quick the photos were delivered! We received a text while on our honeymoon the week after our wedding that our edited photos were done and one week later we received all our pictures!

Things for us, certainly came with more than a few bumps along the road. But when Abibi Bridal stepped in, it felt like someone finally saw us, heard us, and held space for both our dream and our chaos. Abiola became a calm presence when we were stressed, a creative light when we felt stuck, and a true advocate when we needed our voices heard. She was able to support us from out of state yet, it always felt like she was right there beside us present, organized, thoughtful, and incredibly kind. Her ability to listen and lead at the same time is something we’ll never forget. Every vendor and guest who interacted with her had nothing but glowing feedback. She didn’t just coordinate, she connected. When things didn’t go as planned, She worked with what she was given and she carried it all with grace, protecting the peace and joy of our day. Abiola softened every misstep, elevated every moment, and somehow her and her team made the entire experience more beautiful than we could have imagined. That’s not something you can find on a checklist. After the wedding, my husband who rarely says much—turned to me and said: "If we had to do this all over again, I’d want her from DAY ONE." That one sentence said everything we both felt in our hearts. She embodies everything a couple hopes for in a wedding coordinator. We honestly can’t believe the wedding is over. What’s even harder to believe is that we don’t get to keep her because Abiola energy, her presence, her passion it’s nothing short of magical. truly became like family. Abiola is not just a vendor; she’s like family. With all our love, The Saint-Stanton's Married 5.25.2025 @ 5:25 PM

When I started planning my wedding, I had a general vision that I was going for, but did not have exact ideas on wedding florals. I knew was that I wanted my wedding to look timeless, sophisticated and organic. From my first meeting with Naomi, I knew she understood my vision. When I received the proposal, I was blown away that she took my ideas and made them even better than I imagined. She was creative with my vibe and budget, suggesting things like tall organic vessels around the ceremony versus a traditional arch and instead of just white flowers, suggested sophisticated neutrals. The day was that much more stunning because of Naomi's florals. They were truly art and my guests were raving about the design. I couldn't recommend N&V enough. Thank you so much again Naomi!

My friend hired and coordinated with Luis from lionizing entertainment as a DJ for our engagement party in July. It was our first time meeting him at the party and from the beginning he was professional and personable. He made sure we had the type of music we wanted and kept people dancing. We were so happy with his services so we decided to hire him to DJ our wedding this past weekend as well. We originally had a summer wedding planned and decided to move it up sooner. Luis was so flexible and understanding when we reached out about the date change and we were still able to work with him for our new date. Throughout the planning process Luis was super responsive whenever we needed anything and he would check in to make sure we didn’t have any questions and he was more than prepared for our big day. He kept the night running smoothly despite the changes we made to the schedule of events at the last minute. Throughout the night he checked in with us and advocated for everything we needed. Our other vendors came up to us and said how much they loved working with Luis and how easy it was to get along with him. We decided to add a photo booth at the last minute and we are so glad we did because all of our guests were obsessed! Everyone used it all night and we got to keep the high quality photos after. A ton of guests reached out after the fact to say how impressed they were with the Photo Booth and the quality of pictures they received. The Photo Booth was so much of a hit we are renting it for our baby shower coming up in the spring as well. Luis has been so much fun to work with and we are looking forward to work with him for all of our future events - we would recommend Lionizing Entertainment to anyone!

Hi, I’m Heather! (that's me on the left) I'm a wedding photographer with a deep passion for capturing the genuine moments and raw emotions that make each wedding day so special. I’ve always been drawn to storytelling through photography, and over the years, I’ve developed a style that combines artistry with authenticity. My goal is to not just take pictures, but to tell the unique love story of each couple I work with, from the grand moments to the quiet, intimate details. My husband is a wedding videographer. So, if you are also looking for video, look no further!

On the day of the wedding, they were a calming presence and captured all the special moments beautifully. The quality of the photos and video is stunning - we love how they were able to artfully document our day. Hearts in Focus provided excellent value and we would highly recommend them to any couple looking for talented photographers who will make the process seamless.

Bryan Sargent is an award-winning wedding and engagement photographer from New York City. To Bryan, nothing compares to the privilege and fun of capturing the cherished memories of a couple on their wedding day!

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Bryan for our intimate courthouse wedding in New York City just before Thanksgiving, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience!! From the start, Bryann was incredibly responsive and professional. Despite it being a simple, yet meaningful wedding at the courthouse, we still wanted to ensure the moment was captured beautifully. On the day of our wedding, Bryan came to our apartment and took pictures of us as we were getting ready for the big day. With our three friends in tow, Bryan followed the group through our neighborhood to the subway, to the Clerk’s Office for the ceremony, and then for some pictures at the waterfront. He was able to capture every moment along the way and captured the best NYC wedding pictures one could ask for. If you’re planning a courthouse wedding (or any wedding) in New York City, I can’t recommend Bryan enough. He is not only incredibly talented but also incredibly kind and dedicated to making sure your special day is captured in the most beautiful way. We will cherish these memories for a lifetime! Thank you, Bryan!
