Awarded Best of Zola
I was a bride in June of 2017 and I booked this company almost a year and a half before my wedding. I would not change it for anything!!! They were so helpful and available throughout the whole wedding planning process and made themselves readily available to us. The day of the wedding was absolutely perfect and almost every single person there complemented the professionalism and vibes all the staff had - particularly our DJ Brandon. If any of my friends get married in the future I will STRONGLY suggest using this company! Brandon has become close friends to my husband and I and our groups of friends. We recommend him to all of our loved ones and love seeing him at all of our events together. To this day, I still am told that our wedding was one of the best they have been to and we have Brandon to thank for that. He raised soooo much money for our honeymoon during our non-traditional dollar dance and made the whole night ruin so smoothly. Like I said, best wedding decision we made.

Hello hello! My name is Marie and I am the owner and photographer for Wild Elegance. We are a brand for adventurers, for lovers of life, and genuine people who love those little moments between the moments in life and seek out truth over perfection. Your marriage is unique because of the relationships you have with the people you choose to celebrate with. Spending my day with you and your closest family and friends brings me such joy, and creating art out of some of the best moments of your life is something I am truly honored to be a part of for so many.

Awarded Best of Zola
Knowing how much of a financial investment a wedding photographer was going to be, I did not take my decision lightly. I reached out to several companies and had several questions when determining who would be the right fit. And I have to say, Marie was by far the most understanding and compassionate during that process. While many photographers seemed annoyed by the (many) questions I would ask before booking, Marie was patient and very thoughtful with her responses -- she even took time to arrange a phone call with me while traveling! And during that phone call, she made sure I didn't feel rushed and that she answered all questions I had fully, it truly felt like I was talking to a friend. That was when I made the decision to book with Marie. Beyond that, when booking the session for our Engagement photos, she brought several creative and adventurous ideas to the table and had the PERFECT locations to take us to. We had a blast together. I would recommend Marie to anyone looking for a photographer who is friendly, compassionate, accommodating and just a joy to be around.

My husband and I had a crazy experience with our wedding because of Covid but Serenity was so nice and easy to work with. We were able to take our mind off of at least one thing- the pictures. It was so amazing to get the best pictures we could ask for and all the while just being us and having fun. We danced, laughed, road in a carriage, and it was all so magical.

I'm Erin. I'm a photographer, traveler, and wide-eyed wonderer. I split my time between the Midwest and my bungalow near the beach in Oceanside, CA. My favorite pastimes include exploring Disneyland, watching Schitts Creek & Ted Lasso, and cuddling my dog. I have a loud laugh. I love cabernet franc, chocolate chip cookies, and I'm on a constant search for the best tacos in the world.

Erin is an incredibly warm person and immediately made us feel comfortable during our engagement shoot. We had never done a shoot like this and were nervous and worried about feeling awkward, but her easygoing demeanor and natural instructions took all the stress off of us and we really enjoyed the experience. Erin has a detailed eye and a talent for capturing the natural beauty of the outdoors which was important to us. After our first great experience, we asked her to shoot our wedding as well on a cliff overlooking Sedona, AZ. She captured the scenery and golden hour lighting in breathtaking shots that were flattering of us and perfectly captured the grandeur of the red rocks around us. We will treasure the photos forever. Thank you Erin!

I'm Mollie, the owner & lead photographer at Paper Sun Photo. I’ve always loved photographing people, and after finishing my BFA in Photography I have worked with over 150 couples to beautifully document their wedding love stories. My style is creative and colorful, encompassing the big picture as well as the little details and joyful in-between moments that make weddings one of a kind. I am so grateful to be trusted with the responsibility of documenting my couples’ wedding days and absolutely committed to delivering photographs that capture the moment and will be treasured and adored.

Mollie hands down is the best photographer. She's sweet, easy to work with and it feels like you've known her forever. She is thorough with her initial meeting asking great questions to make sure we were getting the photos we want. She checks in prior to the big day to go over a timeline which is super helpful when you have no idea about making a schedule or where to start. We loved that she took charge and got our families in order to get the big group and individual photos done seamlessly. We highly recommend her for your engagement/wedding photos. The quality of her photos is perfection and you get a great mix of posed and candid.

Sara did a phenomenal job for our engagement photos and wedding. She was so nice but also assertive for group photos which our group needed! She came very prepared and brought along items like a stain stick and a bride hanger to be prepared for anything that could’ve happened to ruin the look. She was flexible with us when we decided to tweak our timeline a little bit during our wedding and made sure to just go with it and capture all the moments of us with our guests. She really takes time to get to know you as a couple and has so much fun with you while she hypes you up to get the best shots. Not only do I love her work, but her personality makes her a great vendor to work with!

I'm a wedding and engagement photographer who has collaborated with couples from all over the world. I offer a relaxed and conversation-based style of wedding photography because I believe that the best images are the result of communication.

Awarded Best of Zola
I can't explain how happy we were with Lizzie... the photos she took were absolutely beautiful. I was really impressed that she listened to exactly what we wanted - we definitely didn't want these fake posed photos you often see from weddings and she was perfect at fulfilling that and producing the most natural collection of memories. She really hung back in the background so you never felt you have a camera in your face all day and yet the final results were breathtaking. I haven't had the time to print them yet but I can't wait to have a collage up in the house. We were super impressed by the speed of receiving them all after the day too - within 3-4 weeks max we had already gotten the collection and I must admit I cried when receiving them since they are so beautiful! Sometimes I have some memory issues due to my health and having our wedding day documented so thoroughly and beautifully I can look back anytime and be reminded of how perfect that day was so I am so grateful. Honestly I would recommend Lizzie to anyone. If you are already looking into her site and wondering out of all of the people out there, whether she would be the right photographer for you... just go for it and it will be the best decision you make, I assure you.

As a couple with a lot of anxiety, we were very grateful for Maria's calm, relaxed presence. She made our engagement and wedding photos feel easy and fun. On top of that, our wedding took place during a blizzard, and she still arrived on time, ventured outside to get some beautiful photos, and never complained once!

I’m not usually someone who gets emotional over photos, but these hit me hard—in the best way. They managed to capture moments I didn’t even know I cared about until I saw them frozen in time: my best friend’s shaky toast, the way my partner smiled at me during the vows, even the dance floor chaos late into the night. Nothing felt staged or overdone—it was raw, real, and somehow still stunning. These photos aren’t just memories; they’re proof of how much love filled that day.

She did my engagement photos in Florida at the beach and she did AMAZING. She captured every moment and the scenery perfectly. She is now going to do my wedding in New Hampshire! Love that she is willing to travel.

At Events by Marissa, I am dedicated to making social gatherings unforgettable. With a personal touch and meticulous attention to detail, I ensure events are seamless, stylish, and absolutely delightful. My services include Month-of Coordination, Partial Planning, and Design, tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. Beyond my professional life, I share my days with my amazing fiancé, Joey, and our delightful fur family. When I'm not orchestrating events, you'll find me enjoying life's adventures: hiking scenic trails, traveling to new destinations, roller skating, and indulging in good food with friends and family.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Marissa as our wedding coordinator for our big day at Paradise Ridge Winery on May 18, 2024. From the very beginning, we knew Marissa would be a great fit for us. She was incredibly responsive, understood our budget, and anticipated our needs, which made the entire planning process smooth and stress-free. Her kind and caring nature made it easy for us to build rapport with her, and she quickly gained our trust by offering thoughtful suggestions to help us stay within our budget while still making our wedding everything we hoped for. Marissa did a fantastic job explaining the planning timeline, which allowed us to see what was coming months in advance. This helped us stay on track and be well-prepared for upcoming deadlines. She worked closely with a variety of vendors and gave us with insights and recommendations that aligned with our preferences and our wedding theme/vibe. When we faced a small issue with a vendor, Marissa was there to advocate for us, finding quick solutions that relieved us of unnecessary stress. One aspect of working with Marissa that we loved most was her openness to our ideas, especially when we wanted incorporate cultural elements into our wedding. Whether it was the late-night ramen bar, hand-folded origami flowers, or engraved chopsticks as gift favors, Marissa ensured these touches were integrated tastefully and seamlessly. She respected our vision and made sure everything looked elegant and fun. On the day of our wedding, Marissa went out of her way to show up for us and make the experience unforgettable. We are incredibly grateful for everything Marissa did for us, and we will undoubtedly recommend her to all our friends and family.
