  • Videographer

  • Serves Cornelius, NC for additional fees

My name is Gage Horne, the owner of Gage Horne Studios. I started my company in 2019 (officially) but have been doing video work starting at the age of 11. It started as gaming videos uploaded to YouTube, to shooting professional dance films in college, to starting my own Video Production Service. I found true passion in my work when I realized how important wedding videos are. I had already shot 100+ films before my wedding but realized as a consumer how valuable it is. I love what I do and finding intriguing/interesting ways to display those pieces is what keeps me creative and constantly making my films better.

JayLynn is FANTASTIC! She traveled solo all the way to Arkansas for our wedding day! We booked her over 1 year out from our wedding & we started our google meets once a month to plan. She helped plan the finest details and offered her input and advice for every part. The day of the wedding I had a dress malfunction & she went to the store to grab the needed supplies to fix it. Her personality is so bubbly and she is very easy to get along with. We had the most perfect day & are so glad she helped make our wedding run smoothly. We highly recommend her for your wedding!

BPP Content was nothing short of spectacular. I worked directly with Natasha, and she carefully crafted the perfect reels and captured our entire day while remaining discreet, unobtrusive, adaptable, and artistic, creating the perfect record of our wedding day. The week before the wedding, we went over certain details and the timeline of our wedding. On the day of the wedding, she knew exactly what was going on and worked seamlessly with our photographer to capture the perfect moments. Our day was filled with so many events, such as the first look, ceremony, family portraits, tea ceremony, and boba bar. She captured all of it! Not only did she curate the perfect stories during each of these events, but she also gave us the raw footage for all of them. I know this doesn't mean much to some people, but it's another way to look at different vantage points of all our guests, which we thoroughly enjoyed watching. Additionally, Natasha had our reels done within 48 hours after our wedding! Talk about a quick turnaround with high-quality production! Her attention to detail was perfect, as she captured our authentic moments in real-time. We loved BPP Content and Natasha for all their hard work and are so happy to have worked with them!

I can't say enough good things about my experience with Erika! From our first chat to the wedding day, she was a wealth of knowledge and a constant calming presence. As a full-time working mom of three teenagers, my time is precious. While I loved planning, the extra work was a lot. Erika made it effortless, answering every question and providing all the resources I needed. In the final month, Erika handled all vendor communication, which was a huge weight off my shoulders. It meant I could focus on fun details and DIY projects. She kept everyone on track during the rehearsal, and on the wedding day, Erika and her assistant brought my vision to life. Everything was under control, allowing me to savor every single moment. Seriously, if you're thinking about it, hire Erika! You won't regret it.

Awarded Best of Zola
They say a dream is a wish your heart makes, and Erica was truly a dream to have at my wedding, not only as a musician, but as a warm and kind presence. The very first time I spoke with Erica I just fell in love with her warmth, kindness, professionalism and confidence. We laughed so much on the first call I knew immediately I had to hire her. After the call, my fiancé said that musician you spoke with made you so happy you better just hurry up and hire her. I never even spoke to another musician…I knew none could even come close to Erica. I hired Erica in July for my December Disney wedding. I never felt rushed, overwhelmed or anything stressful. Erica is so kind, her voice is ethereal and she knows how to read a room. She even recommended an amazing officiant to me when I was struggling to find one. Erica was the hit of my wedding, when she started singing to open the ceremony a bird flew up to her, perched next to her and sang with her. Even the bird wanted to be close to her and felt her kindness. This was the most beautiful moment and my guests are still talking about it. I wanted a Disney/Christmas wedding theme and Erica delivered in every aspect. She was also beautifully dressed and looked gorgeous (nobody wants sloppy vendors lol). Erica created the perfect atmosphere by intertwining romantic Disney music as well as Christmas songs. Erica made the wedding a dream come true. The fact that she is well known also helps, as most vendors and venues love working with her. She learned a few new songs for me and worked seamlessly with my other vendors to create the perfect, yes absolutely perfect, day. Thank you Erica! You are a true star!

Hey, I’m Savannah! I’ve been photographing weddings since 2016, and somewhere along the way, it became the love of my life (well, one of them). I’m all about honest storytelling—documenting the real stuff, the in-between moments, the things you didn’t even realize were happening. My style is documentary with a creative edge, and my approach is simple: get to know you, show up with intention, and create photos that feel like you. If you’re into big feelings, warm tones, and someone who will hype you up while also fixing your flyaways, we’ll get along just fine.

Awarded Best of Zola
I first “met” Savannah through Instagram and instantly fell in love with her work. After about two years of following her I was lucky enough to win a session with her! Those pictures were probably some of the best pictures ever taken of us. She even was able to work with my request of making me “not look pregnant” when I was 5 months along and she killed it!! Quickly after I knew I needed her as our wedding photographer. We booked our date around her schedule and it is something that I would do again and again if I had to. She truly tells a story with her photos and not to mention is a breeze to work with (as well as being one of the sweetest people you will meet)!

Working with Carina from Raleigh Weddings was an absolute dream, and she transformed my wedding into an unforgettable event that surpassed all my expectations. Planning from across the country could have been daunting, but Carina’s exceptional communication kept me informed and engaged every step of the way.

Although my vision didn’t align with anything on her portfolio, she embraced the challenge and brought my unique style to life with creativity and precision. What sets her apart is her personalized approach—she listens intently to your vision and curates vendors tailored to your needs, rather than relying on a standard list. For instance, when I struggled to find the perfect floral arrangements, Carina went above and beyond to source a new vendor who delivered exactly what I envisioned (within my budget.) Her dedication to going the extra mile, without hesitation, made all the difference. From our very first call, Carina’s infectious energy and genuine warmth stood out. Wedding planning involves constant collaboration, and her vibrant personality made every interaction a joy. Choosing her was the best decision I made—not only did she orchestrate a flawless wedding, but I also gained a friend in the process.

Marta was a pleasure to work with! She kept my husband and I on track and on task in the months and weeks leading up to the big day. All of our other vendors, including the site location staff, all said what a joy she was to work with as well. Marta is kind, well-organized, meticulous, and thoughtful. I can say with certainty that without her we would not have been able to pull it off! I highly, highly recommend her!

Cannot say enough good things about Kendra! She was so calm and organized during our wedding day and that really put us at ease. Not to mention I'm obsessed with the images she captured. I can look back at them and remember how I felt in those moments. Highly recommend!

Hey there! Since you are trusting me to capture these special moments in your life, I figured you should probably know a bit about me, right? I am a Huntsville, Alabama native, but moved to Nashville after graduating from the University of Alabama in 2013. ROLL TIDE! Although I consider Nashville home, I am anything but a homebody. I love traveling and exploring new places (especially the food at those places!). I even studied abroad in Italy, which let me tell you, was a food lover's dream. I have always felt like an old soul trapped in a millennial’s body. I would rather listen to Frank Sinatra than anything on the radio today.

Diana Marie Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding day. From the very beginning, Diana's communication style was open, professional, and timely - she was always checking in to make sure our day was going as we had imagined. The quality of her work is truly exceptional, with a clean, timeless, and emotional style that captured all the special moments beautifully. Diana knows the importance behind wedding photos - they aren't just a social media dump, but rather the memories we'll cherish for years to come. She reminded us to take in the little things, and that thoughtfulness really shines through in the final product. We couldn't recommend Diana Marie Photography enough for any couple looking for a talented, dedicated photographer to document their big day.

Last month I got married at The Sanctuary on Roosevelt Island, and I had the pleasure of working with Jackie Fanara, an artist from Melissa’s makeup team. She was an absolute joy to work with from start to finish- it felt like hanging out with an old friend! She is so incredible at making her clients feel comfortable, listened to, and pampered. She went completely above and beyond- when the bridal party was finishing photos outside and it started pouring, she got SOAKED while shielding my bridesmaids and making sure everyone was able to get safely from the park to the vehicles to inside the venue. She literally used herself as a shield and then proceeded to to help everyone get touch ups while they dried off- by the time the ceremony had started, no one would have had an idea that everyone had been rained on. By the end of the day, she was everyone’s best friend. She was an angel that day and I am so thankful she was my artist. If you’re looking for an incredibly talented artist who will charm you with her positive attitude and incredible sense of humor- Jackie is your gal. Special shout out to Tressa, who did the makeup for my mother in law and few other people’s on my husband’s side of the family- they all loved her and said that she made them feel so special! And of course, shout out to Melissa for being lovely and communicative while setting me up with her team!

Arie was Fabulous! We just completed our engagement session with Arie and we were blown away by her eye and professionalism! She thought of every detail. ​She also pre-planned photo backdrops and poses that made the process super smooth. She gave great direction and made us feel incredibly comfortable in front of the camera!! We were incredibly pleased with how smooth the shoot went and can’t wait for the wedding!!
