Awarded Best of Zola
Rachel and her team made our stressful and busy day absolutely wonderful, and now that we have our photos back, there is no denying that they were THE standout of all of those that we booked! The only thing that I would change is that she now has a new addition of a content creator that I have no doubt would be amazing! Our package included film and polaroids and Super 8 for Wedding Day and the night before. From a boudoir session in her amazing studio, a Welcome Dinner on a sailboat, different getting ready locations and all around our venue, each part was unique! Getting ready, first touch, the ceremony, cocktail hour, portraits, reception, and golden hour each have a unique different focus, which I absolutely love. The polaroids were an amazing touch, and the different types of film were such a vibe! I could not ask for more to have captured our memories and make them feel timeless! Of all of the research I had attempted to do to look for a photographer, Rachel was perfect and surpassed expectations! She and her team were flexible, experienced, professional, and have tremendous range. It was so evident that they put in work before the events to know what we were looking for. She even has great recommendations for other vendors and her connections show how well respected she is. Rachel also has a wonderful personality that seems to click with anyone. Rachel was wonderful to work with from the start. She had clear and consistent communication and it’s obvious that she is professional that loves what she does, and through our multiple sessions I had no doubt that she had our best interest in mind and was happy to be behind the camera and supporting us. The team was constantly multi-tasking, aware of what was going on, caused no concerns for us, but also always seemed to be in the right place at the right moment. She and her team were more than familiar with our timeline, what we wanted most out of the day, and needed no reminders, and as things will inevitably happen, they were quick to adjust with a smile. Time goes by so quickly during the events, and she and her team were always prepared and making what we had hoped and planned for happen! After our initial inquiry, Rachel responded quickly and we scheduled a video call, during which she was super engaged and attentive! We could tell that she really listened to what we shared we were looking for and seemed genuinely excited for what we were planning and happy to be a part of it. Her service guide and contract were clear and so were expectations. My husband and I could tell from the start that she not only had a great eye but had the business part of what she does down as well. There wasn’t a single instance during the period of time we worked together that I had doubts or felt on edge about our decision to go with her or that the end product from her team would be lacking. She checked in often and asked for a detailed questionnaire and mood board not only as a part of the inquiry, but also closer to the day which I loved as over months and months of planning things do shift and change. They did a great job of capturing candid moments and getting group shots. They were somehow able to let us enjoy the experience but also get those specific shots we’d requested. They were able to make each part of the day fun, memorable, and unique. We are so happy to say that we have traditional family portraits, candid, and even photos that look editorial!

I never once had to worry and stress about photos. Day of the wedding, she completely killed it. She was still her happy self but was able to organize us and snap some amazing photos. She worked with me on some odd family and friend dynamics and eliminated any worries I had. She did a fantastic job of catching the perfect small moments, some of which I didn’t even know she was capturing. The photos are all so naturally beautiful and I can’t even begin to describe how much we love them. They are clean and bright and show us, our personalities, and our people perfectly. 100% the best decision we made.

I love to make every occasion a special day by creating a unique menu for every client. With over 14 years of culinary experience across the globe, I have the skills and passion to make sure your event is executed at the highest level, and I pride myself on being flexible and easy to work with. I make everything in house, creating beautifully rustic dishes across all cuisines, and I can accomodate any dietary restrictions necessary while maintaining the quality you deserve and expect!

Let's start by saying that the food was fantastic. From the kalimotxo pulled pork to the heirloom grits to the chargrilled oysters, every aspect of the meal was delicious, distinctive, and memorable. But hiring a caterer is about a lot more than just the flavor of the food. My wife and I planned our own wedding, and we wanted a caterer who was reliable, efficient, communicative, and down to earth. Adam fit the bill in every possible way. He was responsive to our emails, communicated with clarity, provided robust and varied menu options, hosted a straightforward but cozy (and delicious) tasting for us and some friends, and took care of everything on his end once the big day rolled around, without any unexpected issues. He never tried to upsell us or push a particular package - which, if you've done any wedding planning, you know happens constantly. There was none of the phony salesmanship I came to associate with wedding planning. He's a chef and a caterer. He did exactly what we needed, and he did it extremely well. His approach suited our DIY wedding perfectly, and everyone at the wedding enjoyed the meal (and I happily feasted on leftovers for days afterward). I cannot recommend his catering services highly enough. He makes excellent food and has an earnest, direct way of dealing with his clients.

Born and raised in the vibrant city of Chicago, I come from a big, lively, and wonderfully loud Middle Eastern family, my heart has always been set on bringing people together and celebrating love in all its forms. What better way to do that than planning fabulous + unforgettable weddings, birthdays, showers, + more! My friends often turn to me for organizing their events, our travel adventures, & booking our excursions, which sparked the idea: why not make this my career? With over 5 years of professional event planning experience under my belt, I’ve absolutely fallen in love with crafting every little detail to ensure your day is perfect!

From the very beginning, Jen brought a sense of calm and confidence to our wedding planning process. While she was technically our day-of coordinator, she jumped in to support us a full month before the wedding — helping with logistics, vendor coordination, and keeping everything organized and on track. On the big day, she was so attentive, perceptive, and incredibly grounded. She understood the nuances of our family dynamics without needing much direction and handled every moment with grace. I was completely comfortable handing off all vendor communication to her, which allowed me to truly enjoy the day. She listened carefully, wrote things down, and followed through — often within minutes. Her assistants were kind, proactive, and professional, which only added to the sense of trust and ease. Everything felt seamless and intentional. Her communication was clear and efficient, and I genuinely appreciated her adaptability, warmth, and thoughtful attention to all the details — even the ones I didn’t know I needed help with. She didn’t just help us execute a timeline — she helped bring our vision to life. We couldn't imagine our day without her.

I will add a unique level of performance to your DJ's set that you and your guests will remember for a lifetime.

Our guests are still talking about the amazing entertainment from our wedding, and thanks to Jason we had everyone on the dance floor all night long! He is truly talented, professional and brought the party- we couldn’t imagine having an event without him and DJ Misha again.

Christopher Ginn Studios

  • Photographer

I bought my first DSLR camera in 2004 when my now wife, Tracey, and I were taking a cruise to Alaska. For a monumental trip like this, I HAD to get an amazing camera. Those 8.2 megapixels with nine four points had me in LOVE. Ever since then, the ability of a photograph to be able to freeze time; freeze an emotion; freeze a memory has kept me addicted. Whether it’s getting a great angle, finding light that tells the story, or capturing the true personality of someone; it all brings a smile to my face and hopefully yours!

Christopher Ginn Studios was a pleasure to work with for our wedding photography. From our initial inquiry, their communication was quick, simple, and eager to help us plan the perfect photography coverage for our special day. On the wedding day, their detailed schedule and professional approach ensured everything ran smoothly, allowing us to fully enjoy the moment. The photos they captured beautifully showcase the personalities of my husband, our friends, and our family - we are thrilled with the results. I would highly recommend Christopher Ginn Studios to any couple looking for an experienced, responsive, and talented wedding photography team.

The Brown Sugar Experience is where love stories meet celebration in the most soulful way. I’m Nae, a nationwide wedding and event planner who believes your big day should feel like you—intentional, beautiful, and rooted in joy. From intimate “I do’s” to big family-filled receptions, I help couples plan weddings that reflect who they are and what they love, without all the stress. Planning should feel exciting, not overwhelming—so I bring structure, style, and heart to every step of the process.

We told her our vision—and she brought it to life better than we imagined.” We didn’t want a big traditional wedding. We just wanted a space to celebrate our elopement with the people we love, in a way that felt real and us. Nae listened—like really listened—to what mattered to us, and turned those ideas into a soulful, intentional experience. It wasn’t over-the-top or generic. It was warm, personal, and full of meaning. The vibes were just right, and every little detail had heart.

I've been a professional videographer for 16 years. I've captured hundreds of weddings at beaches, barns, and everything in between. I always work hard to get outstanding audio and video. This is what some clients said about me: "This was by far the best money that we spent on the wedding." "I would recommend Dan to anyone who wants a top-notch Wedding Video." "The sound quality was also incredibly well done." In the end, all you have are the pictures, video, and memories. I'm looking forward to telling your love story! Love is love!

Dan is definitely "The Man"! We had several conversations prior to the day so he knew exactly what I wanted. He showed up way before scheduled, filming things I wasn't even aware of! Very professional and courteous. He was with us the entire day and captured every single moment. I was more than excited to receive the final product, and boy did he deliver. He truly knows how to tell your story. The best in town, by far! Thank you Dan for all you did. I look forward to using you for other special occasions.

At Where We Wandered, we use our photography to enable you to revisit life's most precious moments, see the faces of those no longer with us, and relive those moments that define your life with the people who made it possible.

Ron at Where We Wandered was a fantastic wedding photographer for our big day. He was incredibly communicative throughout the process, always responding promptly to our questions and checking in to make sure we were happy with the plans. On the wedding day, Ron's attention to detail and creative eye were on full display - the final photos were truly impressive in their quality and captured all the special moments we wanted to remember. Ron listened closely to understand our vision and worked tirelessly to bring it to life. We couldn't be happier with the beautiful photos that will allow us to relive our wedding day for years to come. Ron is simply the best wedding photographer we could have asked for!
