If you're looking for the photographer to capture all the love and joy you feel with your special person, I'm here to tell you, this is it. You found him. Does the idea of spending thousands of dollars for wedding photos scare you, because you can't see the photos right away, no refunds, no exchanges, no returns, and no do-overs, you are not alone. Do the scary thing. Invest your money on a photographer, but make sure you book Jason Rhee. I had a visual aesthetic in mind, but I also wasnt sure how to describe it. As a hobby photographer who mostly takes pictures of her dogs, or snaps pretty scenery and yummy food on vacation, I didnt know how to find to find somebody to capture our special day with the same romantic, yet slightly silly POV. I follow David Suh on IG, because he makes it look fun and easy to get photos you can proudly display, but we couldnt afford to fly him out for our wedding. We wanted somebody who gave similar energy. Instead, I spent hours on Google, Zola, Wedding Wire, the Knot, Reddit, Instagram, and reached out to Facebook groups like Subtle Asian Weddings and Ologies for inspiration. After weeks of pouring through lists of local photographers, reading price packages, scouring albums/portfolios/pages trying to find examples to describe the aesthetic I was looking for, and looking for photographers who evoke the same emotion, I found Jason Rhee. We set up a meeting, he passed the vibe check with flying colors. We had 6 months to plan our reception. We were on a budget. We needed somebody familiar with photographing not one, but three dogs at a wedding. We had an intimate (under 40ppl) wedding, with a LOT of camera-shy introverts (ourselves included!), and we wanted to get amazing pictures but have no experience posing in front of the camera. Where do we put our hands? What is our best angle? Is there enough light at the venue? Should I be serious, serene, or laughing? Don't worry, book Jason Rhee. Jason made the process of working together very easy and it felt like a true collaboration. He helped us plan within our budget. He was as invested as we were in creating our timeline, ensuring we had time for the photos we wanted, and understanding our wedding photography priorities. He provided prompts!!! He also coordinated with our videographer. Everything was clearly outlined in the contract. Our teaser album was done about two weeks after the reception (rest of the album should be done in another two weeks, which is amazing turnaround time considering the hundreds if not thousands of photos taken that day) I’ve always been self-conscious in front of a camera, but Jason was the best at boosting my confidence and posing us in a way that felt natural and look beautiful. We had many laughs along the way. Sadly, one of pups passed shortly before the big day, so we had to make it through one of the saddest months, alongside the chaos of planning our big day. Jason navigated it all with grace and went the extra mile to make sure we got all the photos we were hoping for. We got so many compliments (both during and after the wedding) from friends and family.

I was deciding between Glam Beauty and another vendor, and let me just say—I am so incredibly happy I chose Denise and her team. Not only did they absolutely glam me up and make me feel my best, but they were also such a pleasure to work with. From start to finish, everything felt easy, smooth, and stress-free. What really stood out was the energy they brought. Our conversations were full of laughter and fun, which made the entire getting-ready process even more special. It didn’t feel rushed or overwhelming at all—they created such a comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere. And I have to add—when I first tried to explain what I wanted, I definitely didn’t say it in the most polished way. I’m pretty sure I even growled because I was going for a “sexy, grrr-meow” vibe—and somehow, Denise and her team completely understood the assignment. Not only did they get it, they went above and beyond to bring that vision to life perfectly. Denise and her team are not only talented, but also kind, professional, and genuinely great people to be around on such an important day. I highly recommend them—you will be so happy you chose them!

We had a great experience working with Mitali. My wife and I love plants and so we wanted our wedding florals to reflect that. We reached out to Mitali and asked if she would be willing to put together a plant-forward design for our wedding. Mitali immediately got excited about the idea and started thinking of unique ways to integrate plants into the space. We were blown away by the outcome. The plants were so unique and special. We had people coming up to us all night telling us how great they looked. All the guests were also allowed to take the plants home at the end of the night which we thought was such a unique party favor and also great way to reduce waste. In addition to the center pieces, Mitali put together a stunning bridal bouquet and boutonniere that matched the colors of the wedding perfectly. Mitali was also very responsive throughout the whole wedding planning process and had some great recommendations and advice. We're so grateful to Mitali for bringing our vision to life and would highly recommend her as a wedding florist!

We're a husband/wife photography duo. We're college sweethearts and we're currently expecting our first child in June 2021! We are so happy to be in this business but we didn’t always know we’d become wedding photographers. Seth spent about 10 years in video production (aka the equipment expert) and Nicole is an advertising art director (aka the artsy perfectionist).

Seth was amazing as our wedding photographer! Our wedding package included an additional photo shoot that we used as an engagement shoot. This session helped us feel at ease with our decision. He made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera and we were so impressed with how those pictures turned out. Leading up to the wedding day he helped us build our day of timeline and we compiled a list of must have pictures. Seth and Drea helped us stay on schedule and were able to capture all the pictures we wanted. They were organized, professional, and prepared. Any time during the night we wanted a photo captured, Seth and Drea were already on it. They made it so easy for us to enjoy and have fun knowing they were capturing all our special moments. Seth even agreed to stay later because it started snowing and we took some amazing photos in the snow! Seth turned around wedding preview photos for all the big moments in only a few days. These pictures are amazing! We already have many of the framed and hung in our home.

During this time, we had selected a majority of our vendors but we needed Sarah's expertise in organizing our long to-do list, logistics and design ideas. A majority of our guests were traveling to our wedding so the logistics of how the weekend looked was very important to us as a couple. Sarah seamlessly was able to put together a plan to ensure that we were thinking of every detail needed to get our guests from point A to point B and back. During the weekend of the wedding, Sarah and her team were on top of every detail and that allowed myself and my husband to focus on enjoying the celebration. Sarah's ability to remain calm and handle any challenge that comes her way from vendors is truly an asset that anyone will want for their wedding weekend.

If I could give Eli a million stars, I would without hesitation. Hiring her was hands down the BEST investment we made for our wedding. She is absolutely iconic in every sense of the word. From day one, Eli brought a level of organization and expertise that made the entire process feel effortless. She anticipated needs before we even knew we had them, handled every detail seamlessly, and somehow made us feel completely at ease the entire time. Her communication was clear, her execution was flawless, and her presence was exactly what you want on such an important day, steady, supportive, and genuinely invested in making everything perfect. On the wedding day itself, I truly don’t know what we would have done without her and her team. Everything flowed beautifully, any potential issues were handled behind the scenes, and we were able to be fully present and soak in every moment. That peace of mind is priceless. Beyond her professionalism, Eli is just an incredible person to have in your corner. She cares deeply, she shows up fully, and she makes you feel like your wedding is the most important one she’s ever planned. If you don’t think you need a planner… you’re wrong. Book LSC. It will be the best decision you make. —The Bride Book her. Period. My only regret was not booking her the day we started wedding planning. My wife and I are very organized, type A people both with strong visions especially with our wedding. And yet, Eli surpassed any of our capabilities going above and beyond to bring our dream wedding to life. From the start, Eli combined organization, inspiration, and genuine excitement/joy into a solid feasible plan. Everyone involved in the wedding had a clear roadmap leading up to and on the wedding day. Whenever we ran into obstacles, as life tends to bring, Eli was quick to pivot and find solutions that would be even better than our original ideas. Often, she had multiple solutions for every single scenario we threw at her. In short, I would trust Eli with every single second since the day I proposed. If you’re looking for someone who can see your vision through, organize and execute effectively, and bring genuine joy to you and your future spouse’s lives, you need not look any further than LSC. I’m not really sure why you’re still reading this and not contacting Eli this very second. Our wedding day was, without exaggeration, PERFECT. And LSC made that happen. —The Groom

Our wedding could not have been any better, thanks to Liberty House and their wonderful staff. Aurora was our contact at Liberty House, and she had everything down to a science. I never had to stress about anything. She answered all of our questions quickly and never made me feel dumb for asking the simplest of questions. I truly appreciated her guidance. The food at Liberty House was divine. Truly, their chefs are a league above others. The options we had for food selections were incredible, and we're so happy with everything we picked. Our guests still talk about the mozzarella station! On the day of the wedding, the staff was, in short, flawless. Once we arrived, they were attentive and got us and our wedding party anything we needed. When sending over our decor, I had given them a rough idea of how we wanted things to look. But I never imagined that they'd set up everything so beautifully! They took my one-sentence description and turned it into a masterpiece. Throughout the night, the staff was always there to help. From walking in my dress to getting me hot water when I was freezing, they were always ready to help. When my drink was low, they got me a new one. When I started to leave without my shoes on, they grabbed me some flip flops. When we decided last-minute that we wanted to have a rehearsal dinner at the Madison Rose, they made the process seamless. My wedding wasn't stressful. I felt like a guest at my wedding thanks to their staff. The grounds are gorgeous, the food is to die for, and the staff is exceptional!

Where do we even begin! We had our wedding November 30th, 2024 and had the absolute most perfect special day. We originally toured with Kyle and knew from then this would be our venue. Out of all the venues we toured, he was the most descriptive and passionate, answering any and all questions. From then on, everything was absolutely seamless and easy in every way. Jessica, who does floral and design…NO WORDS. She is an absolute gem to work with and master of florals. I had a very specific vision with colors and she made our wildest dreams come true. She met with me multiple times to ensure what I envisioned was what I wanted, and answered every single email so fast with my questions/changes/comments. Katrina was our coordinator through CKE, and was lovely to work with. She was there to answer any and all questions and extremely communicative leading up to wedding day when things can become stressful :) Day of she was also somehow always by our side the second we needed something. Lastly, the food…guests are still raving about it. It is beyond delicious and there are tons and tons of options to choose from. I have to give a special shoutout to the Lechon station, as people will not stop talking about how unique and amazing it was. We cannot thank the team at Crossed Keys enough for the dedication and attention to detail they put into making our day perfect. The communication is top notch, the food is beyond amazing, and the florals went beyond our wildest dreams.

Fernando at Blanc Noir Event Group was one of the best hiring decisions for our wedding! Our friends and family are still raving to us about what a great time they had. We danced the WHOLE night and the “hora loca” blew everyone’s minds. Fernando also incorporated our song requests seamlessly, ensuring the vibe was right before playing anything. Given that it was a bilingual wedding, he also ensured that both languages were incorporated so everyone felt included and it wasn’t overwhelming on either side. I appreciated that a whole lot. He played a major role in making our wedding the most fun wedding, and was a pleasure to work with, and highly professional.

MMUAV Pro is INCREDIBLE. Having never had professional services done before, I had so many concerns: my eczema-prone skin, if my hair would stay volumized, if there was experience with a wide-range of complexions and hair textures for my bridal party, etc. etc. etc. The list went on. For myself, Norma DID HER THING with the makeup! No flare ups or skin irritations all day. The natural glam was spot on with what I was envisioning. Linda was AMAZING with my hair! Everything came out perfect and the curls sat so beautifully on my collar bone. The airbrush was super light and didn't irritate my eczema-prone skin at all. For my family and bridesmaids who had services done, they were all so happy with their hair and makeup! Norma, Linda, Omayra, and Chantelle were so wonderful. They knew how to work with everyone's skin type, facial structure, and hair texture. Everything held up so well. From inquiring to the trial and wedding day, MMUAV Pro was always kindly available. I couldn't have imagined anyone else doing hair & makeup for the wedding. They made my vision come to life. Everyone was so professional, calm, fun, and just overall had a great attitude from start to finish. This day was so special for all of us. So grateful for Vicky and Linda for taking the time to listen to all my thoughts, questions, and concerns throughout the way. Thank you isn't enough, and I hope this review helps so many others with similar concerns I had. THANK YOU MMUAV PRO!!!

Working with Lace & Rose Events was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Leading up to the day, they were incredibly helpful—always available to answer questions, quick to respond, and full of thoughtful, practical advice. They helped us fine-tune every detail of our timeline and made sure nothing was overlooked. On the wedding day, they made me feel calm, confident, and completely taken care of.

I'm Angelica, the owner of Dawnpoint Studios! I'm an adventurous and internationally requested wedding/elopement photographer with a focus on sustainability! Here's an unexpected fact - I hated weddings when I first started second shooting them. It broke my heart to see couples being rushed, overwhelmed, and not truly having any connection to couples. That's what drove my passion to breath a fresh air into the wedding experience! Plan with intention, focus on being present, and building genuine relationships with couples! You should be heard, appreciated, and understood. You should feel encouraged to get married your way.

Angelica was an angel from the beginning. She is very intentional and genuine in getting to know her clients. It's clear her top priority is helping the couple curate and experience a memorable and one-of-a-kind celebration. From her cheerful spirit to her attention drawn eye, she is an amazing person to work with. Clearly I (we) can't say enough kind things about her, so you should book her and find out for yourself hehe.

We had such an amazing experience with Dean Michaels for our wedding photography! The whole staff was so friendly and helpful both pre and post wedding. We’re not picture people at all and our photographer, Laura, made us feel so comfortable and gave such great direction. She immediately picked up on our personalities and the vibe we were looking for in the photos and captured everything perfectly. She didn’t miss a moment. We absolutely love all the photos and they were delivered quickly and were so easy to access and browse. Thank you!! -Jeanette & Joe
