Paige and Holly were a dream to work with! Music and dancing was one of the highest priorities for our wedding. Paige and Holly understood my vision and music taste immediately, and we knew we could trust them for an incredible party. They took all of my favorite songs and wielded them expertly to keep the dance floor packed all night --- from Stevie Nicks to Chappell Roan. Our wedding night wouldn't have been the same without them, and I wish I could relive that dance floor a million times over. We have gotten countless compliments on our wedding music and how much fun our guests had. I am so jealous that you, the prospective client, have the opportunity to book Paige & Holly for a future event. I truly can't hype them up enough.

Hi! I'm Jaycee. I specialize in clean, textured bridal hair and timeless makeup that enhances your natural beauty. I grew up with a deep love for painting and art, and that same eye for detail, balance, and color theory shapes every bridal look I create. This has led my work to be published 45+ times and featured by brands such as Covergirl, Wet N' Wild, Ulta Beauty, and more. I have also been a licensed Esthetician since 2017, so my sanitation practices are the best in the business.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jaycee was absolutely amazing for my wedding day! Her communication was great, easy, and quick from start to finish. The quality of her work was truly incredible - my hair and makeup lasted all day, even through my ugly crying fits (I cried 3 times!), and I received so many compliments. I even changed my hairstyle last minute due to weather changes, and Jaycee was able to do it just like I wanted. Her assistant Mary was so sweet and did an amazing job as well. I cannot recommend Jaycee enough for any bride looking for beauty professionals that will help make your special day perfect!

Mirage and Light Photography 

5.0

Long Beach, CA
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,600

Photography is my creative dream come true and it is so incredibly special to be able to capture memories that other people will love and cherish for many, many years. Around high school, I found out for myself how important these memories were. Not just the ones I was creating currently but the ones that I couldn’t get back. I would look back on these photos and think, "I remember how happy I was that day." "Aww, my little brother was so tiny then!" Or even, "What was I thinking when I wore that outfit??" These little snippets of time carried such a significance for me that I wanted other people to feel that way about their memories, too.

Amanda has brought my vision to life and captured timeless memories of our wedding. What sets her apart from other photographers is her unique style and professionalism. Our photos have even been selected by Southern California bride! Besides the beautiful photography, she made us feel very special by surprising us with little Polaroid pics during the wedding, a very cool retro photo viewer, personalized box with the photo flash drive and lots of other unique gifts, which felt very special and thoughtful.

I cannot recommend Flowers by Melis enough - she is truly one of my absolute favorite florists to work with! As a planner who specializes in weird, niche, nerdy, and themed weddings, it’s so important for me to collaborate with vendors who are not only talented, but also open-minded and creative—and Melissa is exactly that. She consistently goes above and beyond to bring unique visions to life, no matter how out-of-the-box the concept may be. And even if the wedding/event is more traditional, she will create absolutely stunning arrangements!

On top of that, her work is absolutely stunning; every arrangement is thoughtful, intentional, and beautifully executed. One of the things I appreciate most is how she works with a variety of budgets. Her pricing is fair and accessible, and she’s amazing at meeting clients where they’re at while still offering thoughtful recommendations to maximize their vision. She’s also a fantastic communicator and just an all-around joy to work with. If any issues come up, she handles them with professionalism and care, always doing everything she can to make it right.

  • Planner
  • Offers 5 services
  • Starts at $3,000

Based out of Los Angeles, CA, With Julia is an expert wedding planning business that covers events across California and destination locations as well. Julia founded her planning business based on two passions: her love of creativity and her love of human connection.

Awarded Best of Zola
First and foremost, planning with Julia is super fun. We never expected to have such an authentic relationship with her. Julia is always genuinely curious about how we are and trying to get to know us as individuals. Because of her drive to understand us as humans, she quickly understood our vision and helped us articulate it. She was so patient to help educate us on all things weddings. She knew that food and having a good time were central to our wedding. So she advised us on how to make that come true and where to save for things that we cared less about. She was always super responsive, professional and willing to help. We could tell that this wasn't just a job to her. We were so grateful that she was just as invested in the process as we are. She helped us source amazing vendors that matched our personalities. She also handled all the correspondence so we don't have to worry about it. That saved us a lot of stress. Around the wedding weekend, her and her assistant worked hard to deliver the aesthetics and schedule of events perfectly. The wedding prettier than we could've ever imagined. Thank you Julia for being our thought partner throughout this process. We couldn't have done it without you!

  • DJ

Natural born life of the party. Bringing people together to have a good time would be my super power. Not only do I love my job but I love being able to give my wedding couples the wedding experience they dreamed of.

Awarded Best of Zola
Before choosing Makai, my partner and I watched videos of at least a dozen DJs. Based on the energy and interactions we saw from Makai, we knew he was the one for us and our wedding day. From our first video call with him, we knew we had struck gold. What was meant to be a one hour zoom call turned into three hours of laughing and sharing stories as if we were old friends who had been separated by time. Makai was patient at every step in our process. He came prepared - he provided us a very helpful packet which enabled us to better organize our event. My partner and I did have many of our own ideas, and Makai graciously worked with every single idea of ours. When our ideas were incomplete or needed tweaking, he came up with creative solutions that incorporated our wants and his experience. After getting off our zoom call with Makai, my partner and I shared a big sigh of relief. In months of planning, most things had been stressful, but working with Makai felt almost too easy. We were very well taken care of. On the day of our event, Makai was early. Makai generously helped with things that were not at all his responsibility. Makai was loved by our guest; he contributed to a great vibe. At our request, Makai helped us stay on track for the whole event, and because of that, everything continued smoothly throughout the evening. Every time I looked at Makai, he had a beaming smile on his face. Even while continuing to enjoy the festivities, Makai’s music was on point. Amongst a handful of other vendors who were also awesome, Makai stands out because his contributions to our day were so impactful. I can’t recommend Makai enough.

My name is Sarahi. Born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. Since a child, I loved photographing with old polaroids and disposable cameras.. My family used to complain about the 100's of pictures I captured and how many rolls of film I used. Now, I look back at pictures from 10+ years ago, and see the beauty of "stopping time" in photos and keeping them forever. I see how it brings happiness to the people around me and myself. Nothing makes me happier than people looking back at precious memories. I can't wait to extend this experience to you and create an everlasting memory that you can carry for years to follow.

Long Beach, CA
  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,000

Weddings are rare opportunities to create meaning and magic for ourselves and the people we love, and that belief sits at the heart of my work. I take a holistic approach, starting with who you are and what you value, then helping shape a day that feels as beautiful as it looks, in whatever way is right for you. While photography is my focus, my background includes planning, coordination, and officiation, giving me a deep understanding of how weddings truly unfold. This perspective enhances every style of wedding, from timeless traditions to thoughtfully non-traditional celebrations.

Hiring Erin as our engagement and wedding photographer was the best decision I made (aside from my groom, of course!). I can’t begin to describe the care with which she approach every conversation and every detail. We worked together for months before the big day to refine decor and ensure that my vision came to life. And even with all that time and effort, the end result was better than I could’ve ever imagined. Erin will feel like part of the family, blending in with your loved ones, eliciting genuine smiles and laughter, and perfectly capturing the love that reverberates through the room. And as incredibly talented as she is behind the lens, she is an even better human being. Stop searching - if you’re reading this, you have found the wedding photographer of your dreams.

Long Beach, CA
  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,500

Born in the desert (AZ Baby!) and relocated to the sea. I firmly believe that a good day starts with a cup of coffee and ends with glass of red wine. I own more jewelry than I do clothes and in my opinion, too much gold does not exist. My biggest passion will always be photography. I’ve had a camera in my hands since I was a little girl – I would even set up “stylized shoots” in my family’s living room that consisted of sheets pinned to the wall, my friends and fake flowers (embarrassing, but I’m not kidding!). I strive for those editorial, Vogue-like shots, but I really live for those private, in-between moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
After being engaged for 2 years without any real wedding plans confirmed, my fiancé and I finally found a venue and set a date, 2 months out. With a short window to find vendors, the photographer was going to be the most critical. I was using Zola for general wedding inspo & invitations, so I did a quick search for photographers and came across Kristina Lee Photography. I didn’t have much time to contemplate, I had to make decisions quickly. I reached out to Kristina and scheduled a call with her the very next day. My first question was to make sure she was available on our wedding date…she was. We got to talking and she was extremely personable and easy to talk through the details of our wedding. It was a bonus that she had shot at our venue previously and she knew all the great spots for amazing photos. On the day of our wedding, Kristina fit right into my bridal party. We chatted all things Scandoval, while taking amazing pictures of our entire bridal party including our furbaby, Carlos. My fiancé and I never took engagement photos, so we didn’t really know what to expect when taking our post ceremony photos. Kristina directed us and knew exactly how to capture the most amazing moments of our day. She made us feel comfortable, sexy and so in love. All of our photos came out amazing! She sent us a few photos in a couple days and we were able to download the entire collection within 8 weeks. I am so happy that we had the opportunity to work with Kristina. She was professional, shot amazing photos and we had fun working with her! Thank you Kristina for capturing the best moments of our wedding day. I’ll definitely be reaching out to Kristina for photo shoots in the future.

I live in Long Beach with my husband, and our beautiful dog-daughter Rita. If I'm not photographing my incredible clients, I'm watching any entertainment I can, from the latest HBO shows or movie releases. But, there's nothing better than drinking a beer and laughing at some quality reality television if you ask me! I also love reading while drinking coffee in the morning, but nothing tops hanging with my friends and family, enjoying some drinks and sharing some laughs.

My Fiancé and I got the chance to work with Kathy for our engagement pictures at Disneyland! It was extremely hot that day and super crowded, but that never even phased her. I was so impressed with her ideas of capturing us together. She has so much patience to take the time to capture the shot just right before we went on to the next site. We received our pictures in a week and we love them all, it’s extremely hard to just pick one as our favorite! Currently she offers custom albums what we can’t wait to order and have forever! We loved working with Kathy and can’t wait to see her at our wedding!

Natalie is such a joy to work with! She is incredibly kind, alongside her talent for photography. She works well with vendors, families and couples. We had the privilege of teaming up with her for a wedding in Malibu last year and the photos are stunning. I'd definitely recommend this sweet human to anyone looking for a talented photographer!

it’s been almost a year since my wedding and I still look at photos of this day and admire Campbell’s work every time I walk past our hanging prints. Covid changed my original wedding plans and so when our back up backyard wedding was thrown together in 2 months, make up was the #1 thing I was anxious in finding someone to do. I saw a friends make up for her courthouse wedding and asked her for the contact - who ended up being Campbell! and let me tell you, she absolutely KILLED IT!! Because of the rush, I did not have a chance to do a trial. My first time meeting her was the morning of my wedding - she came with any and everything I could have wanted to create looks from scratch and of course, knocked it out of the park for myself and my bridal party plus she was so accommodating on cost, you’d be missing out to pass up on her! excellent communication all the way up to the day and through the day, she made sure to stay on site after first looks to make sure I was pretty again for the ceremony, and was able to create various looks from dark and moody to natural and bridal - all in a matter of hours. She truly is the best of the best! Thank you so much Campbell!!

Michael is amazing. He is super communicative, thorough, and organized. He provided us with a shot list of every possible picture we could think of taking (brides + mom, brides + siblings, brides + mom + siblings, etc.). It ensured that we had a formal picture with everyone that we wanted, kept us on time, and kept everyone moving efficiently. He is also just an overall great person with a cool personality.
