Hey there sweet bride-to-be! I'm a wedding photographer based right here in Hoover, Alabama, and I absolutely love capturing the pure joyful , once-in-a-lifetime moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
Ahlea is the best photographer, we absolutely loved working with her for our wedding ceremony and reception. She so kindly organized a meeting with us before all the events to chat through our visions. We got to go into the events with full trust that we were aligned on the most important parts we wanted captured. I had no clue what types of pictures to request and Ahlea brought her creative vision to get the most special shots we’ll treasure forever. As an example, she brought a beautiful plate and string of pearls to photograph our rings and she took these images so nicely in the setting of the event. We’re so happy with the whole process working together and the end result as well!!

Olivia Scott Piano

  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $325

Hello! I am a classically trained pianist who loves to play for weddings and events! I received my bachelors in piano and performance from Samford University. Let me help you set the perfect backdrop for your wedding ceremony!

Awarded Best of Zola
Olivia was so wonderful to work with! From finding her on wedding wire and sending my inquiry, she very quickly responded with availability and was so reliable! She responded to every email in less than a day from start to finish. This particularly stood out to me as many vendors I encountered were slow/non responsive. She arrived on time to the ceremony with her own supplies (small extra cost included in my total) and executed it all perfectly. She had to extend the processional song (I think??) due so slow grandparents walking but it was smooth and flawless. She played for a total of about 50 minutes. 30 minutes leading up to the ceremony, about 10 minutes of the ceremony, and 10 minutes afterwards. I would highly recommend Olivia for all of your event or wedding needs!

Harper Films 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
Hoover, AL
  • Videographer
  • Cinematic style
  • Starts at $2,850

The phrase "telling your story" is quite clichè wouldn't you agree? In 2015 when I began cinematography, that was the most popular phrase that videographers would state on their websites, funny enough that's still the case in 2024 lol. From watching my films couples say that my brand is very relatable and thats what I try to be mostly. Relatable in the music that I pair my films with, to the camera angles that your used to seeing growing up watching a Hype Williams music video on Bet network. Our culture needs a "young Hype Williams" in the wedding scene and i like to think of myself as him, Harper Films..

Harper Films was one of the best decisions we’ve made for our wedding. He was more than reasonably priced. Punctual. Him and his team’s execution was flawless. Our video brings tears of joy to my eyes every single time I watch it. From the musical placement to the angles and moments capture, the video is a work of art. We were so happy with the outcome. Thank You again Mr. Harper!

  • Starts at $190

At ARZEL in Birmingham, Alabama, we specialize in helping grooms and wedding parties look their best with affordable, modern suits that are yours to own. Founded in 2014, we combine expert tailoring, fast service, and personal attention to detail. From timeless classics to bold trends, each look is designed to match your wedding style. With group packages, full alterations, and dedicated wedding specialists, we make finding your perfect wedding suit in Birmingham simple and stress-free.

The Arzel team was not a direct vendor for our wedding. Our groomsmen and bridesmaids were given free rein to provide and source their own outfits for the wedding. They were just given a level of dress formality and a color palette. We did however recommend Arzel as an option for our groomsmen and family members. The team at Arzel handled each of our friends and family individually, and we received incredible feedback from them. Arzel was mindful of their individual budgets and the wedding formality and color guidelines. They truly helped each person find something they genuinely liked and it showed on the wedding day and in the photos. As the Bride, it provided me a piece of mind that our friends and family were able to find appropriate outfits that they were excited to wear. I will call out one specific act of kindness from the Arzel team. One of the fathers in our wedding party had been going through some severe medical issues that had drastically changed their sizing and appearance. The Arzel team helped them find a suit, shirt, tie, and shoes on very short notice. The Arzel team also helped rush the suit tailoring so it would fit properly in time for the wedding. The Arzel team handled our father’s situation with grace and compassion, in making the selection and fitting as easy and seamless as possible for them. Overall we avoided any major issues with wardrobe on the day of. Everyone in the wedding party was able to focus on celebrating together and enjoying the day. The wedding photos of the party came out incredible. You can truly see how comfortable and confident everyone felt, including the individuals wearing Arzel items.

The dance floor stayed packed all night and he somehow knew exactly what to play to keep the vibe going. His transitions were smooth, the sound was crisp, and he brought so much energy without ever being over the top.

I used a Facebook group for Alabama brides to find Shelby with The Southern Planner and I am not exaggerating when I say that Shelby is the most positive feedback I have gotten from my friends and family from our special day. Shelby was on top of EVERYTHING. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing, she had it all taken care of. I would book her a thousand times over again. I now consider Shelby a friend and just need to have another event so I can call her up and have her plan it. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Shelby!

I used A Rae of Light for my June 9 wedding and she was wonderful! I hired her partial planning service and it ended up being exactly what I needed, as a fairly self-driven type A bride who did not live in the city (Birmingham) where my wedding was happening. Raven served as essential eyes and ears throughout the process. She had great recommendations for venues and vendors, and was able to use her connections to get some discounts and deals for us, which as a budget-conscious bride I really appreciated!!! She also gave us a great recommendation for our afterparty, and was extremely patient as I went back-and-forth on whether to implement our heat plan (ended up going with our Plan A and it was beautiful!). Most importantly, she communicated well with us and helped implement our vision for what we wanted for the wedding rather than imposing her ideas. The wedding day was amazingly stress-free and it was all because of her! I highly highly recommend working with her!

My husband and I were very particular with our wedding venue choice and we could not be happier. As wedding photographers and videographers ourselves, we could not recommend a better option to any couples looking. Not only is the venue itself beautiful and peaceful, but hiring the manager Amanda to coordinate our wedding was the best decision we could have made for our wedding. When we were on the hunt for a venue, our priority was to find a safe space for our wedding party, friends, and family belonging to the LGBTQIA and BIPOC communities. We did not want any person feeling unsafe or singled out on our wedding day. Having this confirmed and reassured that the venue and Amanda were inclusive made everyone’s experience phenomenal. In addition to this, it was difficult finding a place that wasn’t rustic or a barn. Many of the locations that aren’t barns also didn’t fit our vibe or they were unaffordable. For this venue, you get the best of both worlds: an elegant location that also feels like home, all while being affordable with excellent payment plans available. We received so many compliments on this location from so many different people. Whether it was the elderly family members or young friends, everyone was so impressed with the space and amazed by the ballroom for the reception. The layout of the space made it so easy for a seamless day. Amanda provided insight and assistance for everything we needed and our vendors loved her. Our wedding gallery could not be more perfect, because of this space and her hard work. This is now the top venue that we recommend to our couples! We are excited to continue to come back to capture more love stories at Mountain View Gardens and Ballroom and maintain a connection with Amanda for future couples.

Hey my name is Taylor Pickle. I’m a photographer based in Birmingham Al. I’ve been doing photography for 2 years. I would love to take your wedding pictures and capture your memories! I would love to be apart of your special day! 🤍

Taylor was called in at the very last minute when our wedding photographer woke up sick the morning of. She did a fantastic job and not once did I see her stressed! We have quite a few kids and she captured them all beautifully. The photos of our ceremony and reception were stunning as well and really captured the day well. Both the indoor and outdoor pictures were beautiful. Nothing was edited in an unnatural or unflattering way, and I enjoyed the mix of grayscale and color images she provided us. Absolutely recommend her!

Welcome! Rosie V. Nash is a Birmingham, AL based photo/video team that specializes in documentary style story telling. Rosie V. Nash was founded by married couple Blake and Hanah Brock. The goal of Rosie V. Nash is to provide high quality, stress free media of one of the most important days of a couple's journey together. Rosie V. Nash believes that your wedding day should be as stress free as it can possibly be. We take a documentary style/candid approach that is as directed (or undirected ) as you want it to be. We feel as though couples should be present during these once in a lifetime moments of their wedding day.

TRULY iconic duo!! Hanah is such a skilled and professional photographer. She captured my engagement pictures and wedding! As a bride you spend a lot of time with your photographer on your wedding day & I truly could not have asked for anyone better to have by my side capturing my special day. Blake went above and beyond as our videographer! He is so creative & unique at what he does! My reel video from our wedding felt like a trailer to a movie!! The attention to detail these guys do is amazing. Blake even went out of his way to get us a quick raw unedited clip of our ceremony to show my husbands grandmother who was unfortunately not able to make it to the wedding due to health reasons. If I could get married again, I would NO DOUBT hire Rosie. V. Nash! HIGHLY recommend!

I used this restaurant for my rehearsal dinner the night before my wedding in November 2025 and it was perfect. They had great communication and were willing to let us order from the entire menu when we kept our party below 20 people and chose our appetizers ahead of schedule. The waitresses were so kind and attentive, all the food tasted great, and the space we got to use was sectioned off and private (with a big enough screen to show the Alabama game of course), perfect for a rehearsal dinner! I would highly recommend using the Culinary Dropout for any dinner event.
