Bethany not only helped us during rough times but was incredibly thoughtful and patient! I would absolutely recommend her services. The final photos for both our engagement photos and wedding photos were fantastic.

My husband and I hired Marc in 2021 to capture our wedding video. As soon as we met Marc, we instantly felt so comfortable and at ease with him and in front of the camera! He truly is so personable, kind, and most importantly- he is amazing at what he does. He was always right there capturing every special moment and highlight during our wedding- he didn't miss a thing. Even though it's been almost four years now, I still remember the moment that my husband and I received our video back from Marc (he had a very quick turn around time, by the way!) We watched it over and over and couldn't stop smiling and tearing up throughout the entire video. Fast forward four years later, we now have a two year old little boy and even he loves watching our wedding video with us! It is so special to be able to share a video of our wedding day with him. We are so thankful that we hired Marc to capture our big day and that we have our beautiful wedding video to look back on and relive that day as the years go by. Thank you Marc!!

I’m Laura - a photographer and lifelong storyteller who believes that being human is the art. I create imagery for people who don’t always see themselves in traditional photography: the dreamers, the artists, the misfits, and anyone still reaching for the clouds. My work blends editorial sensibility with emotional honesty. Think expressive color, playful imagination, and images that feel like they’re humming with soul. I’m here to make you feel seen, safe, and celebrated - because the best art happens when you’re allowed to simply be yourself. You bring the story; I’ll build the vision.

We LOVED her! She did an amazing job at working with us through all the unknowns of getting married during COVID and being so flexible and understanding, and even giving tips and recommendations on how to navigate through changes in plans due to the virus. Her aesthetic is just a dream and all our photos had just the right vibe. Her personality is easy going and funny, and made us feel comfortable taking photos because we are NOT by any means social media models ok! Her pricing is by far fair for the quality of work and professionalism received. I would have her do all of my family photos moving forward for all of eternity if she didn't move from San Diego. If you get the opportunity to work with her, DO. IT.

From the very start CJ was amazing to work with! He is very easy to communicate with and super responsive to any questions. He has a worksheet to fill out with any specific songs for certain parts of the evening or for the reception dance floor, and by the end of the night he had gotten to every requested song. He was even able to throw in the Eagles fight song for the groom! There were a few moments in the night that we let CJ decide the music for and he chose the perfect songs to fit the vibe. He was great at reading the dance floor and adjusting to the crowd, and he had some fun mixes of well known songs to switch things up. On more than one occasion our guests raved about CJ through the night, and we couldn't have been happier with his work.

We had our wedding in the ballroom. Very scenic and beautiful venue! Overall a pretty good venue that includes food, tables, chairs, linens, etc. The ballroom house itself is beautiful with lots of light indoors due to the large windows, and a nice deck for an outside ceremony. Zoe communicated with us and answered all our questions and did our tasting and planning, until a week before the actual day where we were assigned a day of coordinator. I found this system to be not great, since the day of coordinator was essentially a stranger that you've never talked to at all, and you basically have to re explain everything you want. Even though they have an online planning tool (which is old and outdated), I found that they got our aisle directions wrong, the reception layout wrong, and our dinner meals were wrong. Thankfully, we had a separate planner that was able to correct these things, so I recommend getting an outside coordinator that works directly with you if you have room in the budget. Another thing was our limited setup time of 1.5 hours meaning the florist and other vendors couldn't set up earlier with more elaborate decorations and had to do something simple. I found out that this is because they had another wedding at the same place before ours (literally ending at 4) and so they rush to get the place cleaned for the evening wedding. The main room and the suit was renovated, but the bathrooms were all still dingy and not the best/cleanest to use. The food was good though, better than we had at our tasting and they got it out fast. Our vendors were fed the same food, and our guests thought it was pretty good wedding food. Apart from the couple hiccups we had, we thought the venue was great overall and really beautiful and we don't regret having our wedding there at all. It could be a little bit better in the small details for the price though.

I live for documenting the connections between people—the genuine, unscripted, deeply human moments that tell a real story. I’m a wedding photographer with a fine art meets photojournalism style, which I began to cultivate while attending the Corcoran College of Art + Design in DC. I believe in “happily ever afters” because I found mine with my husband, Jared. We've been married for 20 years. I love photographing couples who (like me) have found their person—their best friend, partner, and soulmate. My mission is to capture love in its purest form and turn it into timeless art you’ll cherish forever.

It’s hard to put into words how amazingly talented Atalie is - from her impeccable ability to capture the most candid and happiest moments, to making sure everyone feels comfortable and beautiful in front of the camera, to bringing an upbeat yet calming vibe, to making you feel like you’re reliving your wedding day each time you look at your photos (which she gets back to you in record timing!). Thank you Atalie for giving my husband and I the most beautiful photos that we will treasure forever. We you!

My journey into the wedding industry may be unconventional, but it has given me the skills and expertise to execute flawless events with ease. I started my career as a civil engineer, managing large-scale projects where problem-solving, attention to detail, and seamless coordination were essential. While I loved the technical side of it, what truly excited me was bringing a vision to life—orchestrating every moving piece to ensure a successful outcome. Now, I’ve combined my love for organization and creativity into wedding coordination and event planning, where I help couples turn their dream weddings into reality.

Exactly one week ago, I married the love of my life. I could not have managed the stress of planning a wedding without the grace of God and EventBay, LLC. From consultation to day of, Bashan McLeod (owner) exuded professionalism, profoundness and poise. Her skillset, knowledge and expertise of wedding planning and event planning provided a sense of ease and allowed me to focus on the only important thing…marrying my husband. Lol. I retained the Day of Coordinator service from EventBay, LLC. and the Event Agenda a la cart service to make my big day manageable. Bashan went above and beyond, she always did a monthly check up on me to see how I was doing before her services started. And when the 30 days out started, this business owner was on it! She also recommended vendors when my now husband and I were stuck and could not find a DJ. My entire wedding party was in awe of the seamless transitions between timeline tasks and how Bashan and her team got us together. I am so very grateful to have found EventBay, LLC. I literally had no clue what I was doing. Bashan was clear and concise, personable, and fancy. I would definitely utilize EventBay, LLC.’s services again in the future for any event.

Krystal and her team of incredibly talented hair stylists and makeup artists were a joy to have in the bridal suite. They handled my huge bridal party of 10 with such efficiency and ease. All of my bridesmaids and my mom loved their hair and makeup looks. Everyone looked stunning. Krystal was so amazing to work with and if I had to do it all over again, I would 100% use KC Artistry. I recommend them to everyone and will use them in the future for other events.

MM Designs Photography specializes in weddings and elopements and can't wait to serve YOU on your big day. Whether you're hoping to have a traditional church-style ceremony or a magical elopement on the red rocks of Sedona, Arizona, I'm here for you! My goal is to capture the raw, wonderfully-made details of the ceremony that screams YOU. Marriage is a beautiful commitment between a couple before God, and there's truly nothing more powerful than that love. So, why not have those moments captured just how you envision them? The true, candid love you share in all its glory. These are the moments that inspire me, the moments God has given us.

Megan is AMAZING! She was very communicative and helped me with timeline things as I was planning. I did not have a day of coordinator (which I do not recommend lol) soo it was a little messy.. but Megan truly pulled through and worked through my mess. She was very thoughtful throughout the whole process before, during, and after, and I couldn’t be more thankful!

Like with anything I do, I’ve put much heart, work and energy into photography. Yet, the most rewarding part are still the emotions, and happy messages I get from my clients. Nothing charges and empowers me more. On your wedding day, you shouldn't have to worry, cause I am there to help you in every way possible. I make sure your dress is all nice and fluffed in every picture, that there is nothing in your teeth, I catch every fly away and I am there to be your hype girl.

Grace is an absolute dream to work with! No wonder that's her last name! She has an eye for details, and knows the best way to communicate certain things to get the perfect pose. I can't recommend her enough! It genuinely feels like you're hanging out with a great friend anytime you work with her. She's quick to get the cute and candid laughs and always makes you feel so beautiful. She's a true professional!
