Your wedding cake will be a focal point of your reception and will be remembered long after your celebration day has come to a close. You should put as much thought and planning into your cake as you do for all aspects of your wedding day. Let me share my passion for deliciously fabulous and expertly crafted cake with you.

From the very first interaction, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and easy-going, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. Their attention to detail and commitment to quality was evident in the stunning, delicious cake they delivered just before our outdoor summer ceremony. Irene used the beautiful wildflowers we had picked to create a lovely arrangement on top of the cake, tying the whole look together perfectly. The cake was an absolute hit with our guests, with many raving about how amazing it tasted and my family even fighting over the small amount that was left! Irene's experience and expertise truly shone through, and the final product was exactly what we had envisioned - perfection. We are so grateful to Irene's Cakes by Design for helping make our special day even more memorable.

Awarded Best of Zola
Molly is an amazing DJ and knows everything about curating an amazing wedding experience, setting the right flow and vibe for the entire day, from ceremony to last call. The music is such a crucial part of a wedding day (and having been to other weddings that really missed the mark on music), I knew we have to find someone we could trust to create the right vibe. Her system of using an music app and questionnaire in advance really helped us start figuring out all the many music details during wedding planning and she helped guide us when we weren't quite sure what kind of music we wanted for several moments. We actually had 3 locations she had to run music for: ceremony site, indoor dinner, and outdoor dance floor, and she navigated it all with ease. We had such an awesome time dancing and she seamlessly flowed the dance floor music, building it up throughout the night and overall just reading the room so well. Everyone had an amazing time at our wedding. THANK YOU MOLLY!

I cannot say enough amazing things about working with Chynna! She was truly a lifesaver throughout the whole wedding planning process. She kept me on track in such a calm, encouraging way and somehow always made me feel ahead of the game instead of stressed or overwhelmed. She was my go-to sounding board for everything, from the big decisions down to the tiniest details, and always had the best advice. Most importantly, she worked so hard to bring my vision to life, and seeing it all come together on our wedding day was beyond anything I could have imagined. I honestly couldn’t have done it without her, and I’m so grateful for all the love and energy she put into making our day so special. Highly, highly recommend!

By the luck of the draw, Nathan was available for our very quickly planned wedding--we snagged the last date he had in June 2024. I was ecstatic because I had always admired his work. My now husband and I had a blast working with him, we never thought taking photos/videos would be one of the highlights of our big day but it really was. The whole family loved working with Nathan, too. He was laid back but nothing short of a true professional--he was somehow everywhere, capturing everything yet never in the way. He went with the flow with funny family eccentricities that popped up and made everyone feel comfortable. Our photos and video got back to us in shockingly record time and we can't choose favorites because we love them all. Multiple people we've shared photos have said, "that looks straight out of Vogue or a magazine." If you're lucky enough to have the opportunity to work with Nathan in any capacity, whether it be a wedding or other shoot, do not pass this amazing artist up.

Choosing the right photographer is a big deal—truly one of the decisions that can make or break your entire experience. We met Nathan at the very beginning of our journey, during our engagement shoot at the Biltmore Estate. We were both nervous, awkward, and completely unsure of what to expect. Then Nathan arrived, and everything changed. Within minutes he had us laughing, relaxed, and genuinely enjoying ourselves. That was the moment we knew he wasn’t just talented—he was special. So when it came time to choose someone to capture our wedding in Sedona, we took a chance and asked if he would fly out. Honestly, we thought it was a long shot… but he immediately said yes. And thank goodness he did. I will never forget the moment he walked into the room on my wedding day. I had just started feeling that wave of nerves while finishing my hair, and the instant Nathan stepped in, I felt completely at ease. How does he do that? He has this quiet magic about him—an ability to ground you, hype you up, and disappear into the background all at once. His passion is infectious. His eye for intimate, meaningful moments is unreal. And somehow, while capturing every single one of those moments, he manages to remain practically invisible. When we received our gallery, we both laughed, cried, and sat there in awe. It felt like reliving the day, but through the lens of someone who truly understood us. To put it simply: Nathan is gifted. Exceptionally, unmistakably gifted. We even showed our engagement photos to another top-tier photographer, and her reaction was: “Book him immediately. His editing is some of the most incredible work I’ve seen—I want to talk to him myself!” If you're reading reviews trying to decide who to trust with your memories, stop here. You’ve found the one. Nathan exceeded every expectation we had—and then ten more we didn’t even know we should have. He is the best of the best.

Carolina Flowers provided the flowers for our wedding, but the experience was not as smooth as we had hoped. Their online communication style was quite tough, and the quality of their work felt a bit improvised. While the flowers were beautiful, they did not fully listen to our requests - we asked for white and blue flowers, but ended up with pink and purple flowers included in our bouquet and decor. Overall, the flowers were a disappointment and did not fully capture the look we were going for on our special day.

From the moment we first spoke with SJC Productions & Media, we knew we were in good hands. Stacy and her team were friendly, attentive, and truly professional throughout the entire process. Their communication was top-notch, and they made sure we felt comfortable and excited every step of the way. The quality of their work is simply stunning - the photos they captured are beautiful, elegant, and truly romantic. You can feel the emotion and passion behind every shot. Stacy's pricing was incredibly affordable, but she never compromised on quality. We are over the moon with the results and cannot recommend SJC Productions & Media enough. They were a breath of fresh air to work with and helped make our special day even more perfect.

I’m Andy Wickstrom and I’ll help you bring your wedding day adventure to life, but document it all in a style that feels authentic, modern and full of emotion. With over 40 five-star Google Reviews, and more than a decade of photography experience documenting adventurous couples and outdoor athletes, I’m stoked and ready to find creative ways to tell the story of your epic day.

Awarded Best of Zola
Trust me when I say, Andy is without a doubt the guy you want photographing your wedding. From the moment I saw the first of his portfolio, I knew he was the perfect fit. He showed how valuable and professional he is from the very beginning. I forgot to confirm our initial meeting, but Andy made it work anyway, a sign of adaptability that we greatly appreciated. He is easy to talk to, makes you feel comfortable, and is very helpful in explaining options and posing. I am extremely picky about photos, so I looked at many portfolios before choosing to interview anyone, and Andy has the best eye I’ve seen by far. His photos are timeless, artsy, and just downright beautiful. You will get an amazing variation of photos: movement, perfect lighting, details, posing (with his help, thankfully!) and THE BEST candid photos. We had never been to a wedding like ours, but Andy gave great advice and really helped us visualize and plan our day. We got married shortly after Hurricane Helene so we couldn’t get to our original adventure session hike, but Andy had a whole album of back up hikes for us to choose from, all of which were just as stunning as our first choice. We had the best time spending our day with Andy, we truly could not be happier with our photos. We’re only a year out from our wedding and I’m already scheming for an anniversary shoot! Choose Andy, I promise you’ll never regret it!

Laurel Falls was the wedding venue of our dreams. From the moment we arrived, we knew we were in the best hands—Kristen is truly a dream to work with. She brings an energy that every couple deserves on their wedding journey: enthusiastic, flexible, incredibly kind, and the ultimate hype woman. Her support made the entire experience feel effortless and joyful. The venue itself is breathtaking. Nestled in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, Laurel Falls offers a natural backdrop that complements any style or vision. Its historic charm is intentionally preserved and beautifully maintained, creating a setting that feels both intimate and timeless. One of the things we loved most was how the property allowed us to shape our day in a way that felt deeply personal. Just to name a few highlights... - The lodge porch became the perfect gathering place for our immediate family during the rehearsal. - The barn transformed into the most fun and lively after‑party spot. - The lawn offered a peaceful escape with a quiet bonfire and s’mores for guests who wanted to unwind under the stars. Being able to stay on the property turned our wedding from a single day into a full, immersive experience—one we will never forget. Laurel Falls became the perfect “home” for the start of our new chapter together. If you’re looking for a venue that is stunning, secluded, thoughtfully maintained, and supported by a team that genuinely cares, Laurel Falls is everything and more.
