I wish I’d spoke up on being self conscious about my butt, and I didn’t so I have some pictures I probably won’t be sharing, but the pictures we have are pretty, she got everything I wanted during our ceremony, I just wish I had gotten some pictures with my bridesmaids and me in my wedding dress. The ball got dropped on that. Other than that I’m happy with my ceremony pictures, and some of the pictures where I’m facing away from the camera I’m not a huge fan of. My husband loves them though, so that’s good. There was some miscommunication on editing and what not, but over all we got some really good photos.

Dana Point, CA
  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $7,500

Hailing from New Orleans, LA, and now based out of South Orange County, CA, I fell in love with photography long ago. I officially launched my wedding & elopement photography business in 2021. After graduating in the middle of a worldwide pandemic, I found myself having the time to further fall in love with photography, getting the chance to photograph more and more - so much so that I was able to start my own business in a rather unexpected way. Now able to travel the world with my camera in tow, I am beyond grateful for this passion turned career, & I feel so blessed every time my finger presses down on my camera shutter.

Shooting with Cass was such a dream. She is the most organized-but-easy-going photographer ever, and her style is incredible. She works weddings with such class, creativity, and professionalism that her years of experience really shows - and she puts her clients first by paying attention to their needs, while also capturing a beautiful wedding gallery. She's a fantastic wedding vendor to hire!

  • Team of 1
  • Starts at $1,500

Hi! I'm Randall. I've been a makeup artist for 14 years, specializing in bridal for the last 8. My style is romantic, radiant makeup that enhances your natural beauty. I provide on-location makeup services for weddings and special events.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Randall. She is truly so incredibly talented. From the very beginning, Randall was communicative, organized, and professional. Every step of the process felt seamless — from our first conversations, to signing the contract, coordinating payments, the trial run, and the wedding day itself. On the day of the wedding, Randall was sweet, quick, efficient, and so professional. She kept everything moving smoothly while still making everyone feel comfortable and cared for. Most importantly, she made me feel like the most beautiful version of myself, and that is something I will never forget. I would recommend her to any bride looking for someone who is not only amazing at what she does, but also a joy to have with you on such an important day.

The day of the event she promptly delivered my arrangement and assisted in helping me with the best placement. The arrangement The Watering Can designed was breathtaking and a perfect compliment and highlight to my business. I received compliments all night.

As someone who doesn’t get professional makeup done very often, it’s usually a little hard for me to feel comfortable with it. But she made the entire experience amazing. I was in California for an event (I traveled from New Jersey), and she took every detail into consideration even how the weather was affecting my skin and hair. The makeup looked perfect. The shade match was spot on. Ididn’t look lighter or darker, just like myself but enhanced. She was professional, punctual, and very kind. You can truly tell she knows exactly what she’s doing. I absolutely loved her work and would highly recommend her.

Eric Morales was our DJ for our wedding in Temecula! He was absolutely amazing, helped keep us on schedule and kept the party alive the whole time! I had multiple guests tell me that they were so impressed with his style and loved how he got everyone on the dance floor for a group photo and then immediately started the party with everyone out there! It was so much fun, and if I ever need a DJ for something I will be hiring Eric! I also loved his use of the cold sparklers for our exit and even when there was a hiccup he made sure we got all the pictures! I cannot rave enough about how happy I was with our wedding experience and this company! 10/10 recommend! Also I know a big thing for brides is their playlist, and the platform we used to pick all our songs was so easy to use and Eric even checked with me to make sure everything was as I wanted it! He played great music all night and was able to capture all the genres we love!

He was open to our ideas too and provided 3 custom song edits for our wedding.

As you compare performers, you likely wonder what makes one a better fit than another. Of course, musical skill is important. This is something I've developed in my 15 years of playing.

With Seps, you can expect a performance of a lifetime, with the easiest prep imaginable.

We had an incredible experience with Tyler’s Saxophone Experience from start to finish. Booking was easy, the contract was thorough and clear, and Tyler was extremely communicative throughout the entire process, which made everything seamless and stress-free. I booked him for my daughter’s XV, and he truly went above and beyond. Tyler listened carefully to all of her song requests and put together a hip, amazing playlist that perfectly matched her style and the vibe of the event. He even took the time to visit the venue ahead of the event to scope out the space and make sure everything was set up for the best possible experience. The ceremony songs were absolutely beautiful, and during cocktail hour he was upbeat, engaging, and brought such great energy. We received several compliments from our guests about how much they loved the music and the atmosphere he created. I would absolutely book Tyler again and highly recommend him to anyone looking to elevate their event with a talented, professional, and thoughtful musician.

Where do we begin? My husband and I cannot thank the Love and Life Events team enough for helping make our dream wedding come true. In the beginning, I believed that I did not need a coordinator because I had already planned out most of the wedding. Boy was I wrong. YOU NEED A COORDINATOR. We were recommended to Love and Life Events team by our DJ and picking them had to be the best decision ever. We got assigned to Dalavy the most amazing coordinator ever. From the very beginning she was super open, honest, organized, and communicated very well. Because I had booked a lot of our vendors already we decided to go with day of coordination which means that Dal and her team would start helping around the 2 month mark. 2 months flew by and we finally had our meeting with Dal. She was so helpful and made me feel so comfortable and my husband liked her as well! Everytime we had a meeting with her I felt so at ease that everything was going to be done, and she always reminded us not to be stressed. She constantly checked on us up until our big day. She made me feel comfortable when we made so many changes to our timeline. She truly became like family. On our wedding day Dal was on it. She always beat everyone before they could ask her something and she truly made the day so much easier. My family cannot stop talking about how amazing she was. From setting up to taking down she was so organized it was so easy to find everything we needed. Our day could not have been as successful as it was without her and Kristy who is also apart of Love and Life Events. My husband and I are actually so sad that our time with Dal and this team is over. We would def recommend her and this team to all our upcoming friends who are getting married. Thank you Dal and Love and Life Events for everything!

She is very organized, detail oriented, thoughtful, and so kind. She took care of ALL the details for us and made sure everything was planned ahead.

She also assisted in setting up our personal decor at the venue and did a perfect job with her assistant. We were so beyond happy with how everything looked.

From our first inquiry, the team at San Clemente Shore by Wedgewood Weddings was incredibly thorough, informative and organized. Our coordinator, Noelle, was experienced and made sure our vision came to life in an elegant and fun way. Noelle and her team paid meticulous attention to every detail, ensuring my husband and I were taken care of all night - they even packed us a bag of food and cake to take home! We are so grateful to the San Clemente Shore team for making our special day even better than we imagined. We couldn't have asked for a more professional, experienced and organized group to work with. We are thrilled we chose this beautiful venue for our wedding.

Claudia made our wedding on April 5th, 2025 at Ole Hanson Beach Club in San Clemente absolutely perfect! From start to finish, she made the whole planning process so smooth and stress-free. She totally got our vision and made sure every detail was handled perfectly on the day of the wedding. She made our welcome mirror sign, let us borrow bud vases that we used on our sweet heart and welcome table, and truly brought our vision to life. She gave me great vendor recommendations that I ended up using and had a great experience with. On the day of, everything ran like clockwork — all thanks to Claudia. We didn’t have to worry about a single thing and got to just enjoy the moment. She’s super organized, calm, and genuinely cares about making your day special. We’re so grateful for everything she did and couldn’t recommend her more! (Amazing photos of the tables by Geoff & Lyndsi Photography)

We had an absolutely amazing experience with DJ Cesar at our Santa Barbara wedding. From start to finish, he was professional, attentive, and truly in tune with the energy of our guests. He took the lead on the music selection, choosing songs that perfectly matched the vibe of our celebration without needing much direction from us at all. One standout moment was when we ran into a hiccup with our entrance music, which had been provided by our dance coordinator. DJ Cesar handled it seamlessly, he quickly resolved the issue, found the correct song for our first dance, and made sure everything went off without a hitch. Our reception took place midday and wrapped up around 7pm, which is a bit earlier than most weddings I’ve attended. Still, Cesar curated the music so well that the energy never dropped. He kept our guests engaged, on the dance floor, and having a blast from start to finish. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ, and we’re so grateful to Cesar for helping make our day unforgettable!
