We had the absolute pleasure of working with Annie from Annie Occasion for our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. From the very beginning, Annie was just as excited for our special day as we were, and her enthusiasm and support for our DIY work meant so much to us. She really took the time to understand our vision and helped us make it a reality. Annie delivered the most stunning bouquets and personal flowers that perfectly matched the vibe we wanted. The attention to detail was amazing, and the flowers brought so much beauty and life to our day. In addition to the florals, she set up gorgeous floating candle cylinders that added an elegant, romantic touch to the ambiance. We were able to rent them directly from her, which made the process so easy and stress-free. Annie’s warmth, creativity, and dedication truly made our experience wonderful.

I hired Marissa as our photographer this past June for our Long Beach, California Wedding knowing she was going to capture every moment beautifully. Let me tell you, she delivered so much more. She helped keep forward momentum through the whole night when everything was just a joyful blur I was lost in. When an issue arose with the second photographer, she found a solution before we even knew of the problem. She was such an incredible asset throughout the entire experience. On top of that, our photos came out incredible. She captured the feeling of the wedding. So many touching moments, celebrations, and Justin and I have never looked better. I’m obsessed. I can’t rave enough about how incredible Marissa is. I could not imagine our wedding without her, you shouldn’t either. 100000/100 highly recommend

As a wedding professional of 17+ years, I understand the importance of hiring a photographer you can trust. I've been photographing weddings since 2007 - I LOVE ALL things wedding! Watching your Mom zipping up your dress while she fights back tears, the first look with Dad as he sees his baby girl ready to walk down the isle... capturing all the little moments while you say "I do" is what I live for! I believe your wedding day is the start of your family legacy and it's meant to be captured and enjoyed for years to come.

As a DJ for over 25 years, I have worked with many photographers in my time. None are as easy, professional, and fun, to work with as Shayla Loring Photography is. I have had the pleasure a handful of times, and those are the weddings that go the smoothest. She has great communication skills, lots of unique ideas, and a passion to capture the night just the way the bride and groom want it. She also realizes the night is about the two getting married and her sole focus is on capturing the best memories in the photos. If you are in search of the BEST photographer, look no further!
