We pride ourselves in our years of experience, while continuing to keep up with the ever changing trends, and the newest styles in bridal hair and makeup.

Awarded Best of Zola
I chose GLAMbridal because they seemed to focus on natural wedding makeup that enhances your features -- and that's what they delivered for me on wedding day. GLAMbridal's communication was friendly and transparent throughout the process, although at times my coordinator and I waited a while for responses to our questions. On the day of the wedding, my artist, Lou, was calm and adaptable, working diligently to create a beautiful, natural look that enhanced my features. Lou worked hard to use my top-of-the-shoulder (aka fairly short) hair to create a beautiful low bun with twists of hair leading into it from each front side. After I cried during my first look and messed up the foundation and powder on my cheeks, Lou stepped away from working on my mom's hair to give me a touch up. Lou helped my mom look her best, too. My makeup did not hold up well through the ceremony when I cried a fair bit more but never balled. I ended up removing everything but my eye makeup right after the ceremony and license signing because I had big streaks down my cheeks. I've never had professional makeup done before, so I really don't know how well it should withstand tears sliding down it. It was a little disappointing to have to remove all the makeup covering up my rosacea before the reception, but I was grateful that the eye makeup had held up well despite the tears. Overall, I think Lou and GLAMbridal did excellent work in professional and friendly manner and at a fair and reasonable price. I recommend them to other brides.

Integral DJs was an incredible choice for our wedding weekend - we utilized them for our welcome party and our wedding day. From the very first interaction, their communication was timely, thorough, and detail-oriented. Marc was incredibly personable throughout the entire process. He had us fill out a simple to follow spreadsheet for special songs and added Spotify playlists for the various portions of the wedding day for inspiration. While Marc seamlessly incorporated our requests, one of the main reasons we chose Integral was to have an actual DJ experience and not just someone flipping through a playlist - Marc delivered in spades! One of the most memorable dance floor moments was the drop midway through Miley Cyrus' "Party In the USA" right into Britney's "Oops I Did It Again" - the crowd went wild! The overall quality of the DJ experience including the and value were unmatched.

Not only were we drawn to his work, but we loved his fun personality, his professionalism, and his kindness of wanting to know us! Jonathan asked about our story, got to know us as individuals and as a couple, and made sure to tell our story through our photos. He even went overtime to help us with our timeline!

I'm a wedding photographer who cares just as much about how it felt as how it looked. I’m drawn to real connection, quiet in-between moments, and all the chaos and joy in between. I bring a calm, grounded energy that helps people relax, whether I’m goofing off with your wedding party or hanging back to document the magic as it unfolds. My style is part documentary, part editorial, and all heart.

Lindsey photographed my wedding in June 2017. My fiancée and I at the time were running into some vendor issues because of where we live and the fact that we are a same-sex couple, so when Lindsey wanted to have lunch with us, we were nervous to say the least. However, it was only minutes into the conversation that I knew we’d found the perfect photographer for us. Lindsey shared her personal stories with us, and made us feel like we were talking with a friend we’d known for years. Wedding days are hectic, and we had a large wedding party, but Lindsey didn’t miss a beat from start to finish. Needless to say, our pictures turned out perfect, and Lindsey was able to photograph our special day wonderfully! We still get compliments about how beautiful our photos are almost 5 years later! Lindsey was professional, empathetic, and a joy to work with. 10/10 would definitely recommend!

Awarded Best of Zola
I am so so happy we got our wedding photos from Brynna! I genuinely mean this because of a couple of reasons. She was very understanding about our schedule. We are from out of town, my husband was coming back from deployment right before, and with covid thrown in she was very flexible with scheduling and professional when dealing with us. The photoshoot itself went very well! My husband and I had never taken professional photos before and she not only made us feel at ease but she was able to show our personality in our photos while also making us look GOOD. It was a very fun day taking photos and that showed in the product- they turned out better than I could have hoped for. This brings me to my last point- the photos genuinely are amazing and everything I wanted. I don't typically review things like this on the internet but everything about this experience exceeded expectations and I honestly just wanted to give her that recognition. I would definitely recommend Brynna and I hope this review helps you in your decision in choosing a wedding photographer!!

I have been in my share of weddings and know there are photographers who either miss moments or take cheesy pictures - Doug exceeded my hopes and expectations. He got all the shots I wanted and some really awesome candids. He was able to get shots of the important moments and used the space and the lighting to our advantage. He managed to get up close shots but somehow I never felt like a camera was in my face. On top of all that - he was extremely kind, attentive, and efficient. I highly recommend using Doug for your wedding!!!
