Nicole made my partner and I immediately feel at ease and comfortable from the time we first met. She communicates consistently with ease and kindness. She was someone I could talk through things with for planning photos ops to make sure the small soecial moments were captured in an organic way. She and Tyler both were so funny and kind, making my husband and I both feel like we had friends that were there with us for some of the most intimate moments of our relationship. This is an important aspect that I didn’t realize until we were in the wedding! Nicole and tyler both have an incredible way to capture their vision effortlessly. They brought our day to life through photos- which was extra meaningful because we did not have a videographer. We were so appreciative when they took our disposable cameras and developed the photos, seamlessly integrating them into our online album. Nicole and tyler have a way of capturing the saturated, golden, sparkly feeling we felt all throughout the day in photo 3 it is so important to have a photographer that makes you feel comfortable and Nicole is just that & more

Before the day, he was quick to communicate, but not pushy, he was flexible when we adjusted the time a few days before shooting, and he was very straightforward with pricing, payment, and all technical details like that. He arrived early to set up so we could start right on time, and he guided us through posing during our session while still capturing our spontaneous moments as well. His vibe was warm and calm, which is exactly what I needed to feel comfortable in front of the camera. The photos are BEYOND gorgeous and he got the edits back to us in an extremely quick turnaround.

Given the personal nature of weddings and engagements, we wanted a photographer who could connect with us and communicate wonderfully. She was fantastic at guiding us on how to pose - something we both felt a bit clueless about! On the wedding day, she was super prepared and organized; with 12 groomsmen and 12 bridesmaids on each side, she skillfully captured a wide variety of shots. We even had the chance to take individual portraits with each member of our party. I'm excited to keep in touch with Sam for all my future photography needs and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a professional photographer.

Kade's meticulous planning and organization skills played a crucial role in ensuring that the day went as scheduled. They were well-prepared and had a clear timeline in mind, which helped keep everything on track. What truly set Kade apart was their ability to remain flexible and calm when some unforeseen circumstances arose. Their presence was a calming influence during moments of chaos, ensuring that the day continued smoothly. I was thrilled when I saw the images from the day. They were truly beautiful! I can wholeheartedly recommend Kade Alpers as a wedding photographer.

I cannot thank Saja and Mawaddah Productions enough for producing the wedding film of my dreams! Saja was a joy to work with. She is exactly the type of person you want around you on your wedding day: calm, kind, and professional. Saja was proactive about communicating with my husband and I during the planning process and made an effort to get to know us and understand our hopes for our wedding day. The final film reflected that intentionality by showcasing the feelings and details of our day beautifully and authentically. Saja made us feel valued throughout the process of working with her, and went above and beyond by including some surprises with the delivery of our film. We will treasure our wedding film for decades to come.

I cannot thank Hamza and his band enough for making our event so memorable. These guys were beyond amazing! Extremely professional people to work with. We really didn't expect the band to sound so amazing and Hamza's voice is out of this world!! no joke!! This is by far the best wedding band I've heard in my life and most definitely the best Bollywood band you can find in the entire US. And what's amazing is that they played at OUR event! Not only did we love them but our guests had a time of their life.
