Hi, I'm Audrey! I'm a graphic designer by day and a painter by night. I've been painting for as long as I can remember, and I'm incredibly grateful to share my passion with others. There's nothing I love more than transforming special moments into timeless, hand-painted pieces that can be cherished for years to come.

Painted by Aud did such an amazing job pairing our special moment at the altar. She was so easy to work with and communicated quickly and was so kind. Our guests loved watching her continue to paint during cocktail hour. It was definitely a highlight of our day! Couldn’t recommend Painted by Aud enough!!!! Can’t wait to hang this piece in our home.

I am a photographer (obviously) located in Northern Kentucky. I am an enneagram type two (wing six), which basically means I’m a hard worker and a giver. I’m sociable and ambitious, but also incredibly competitive and critical of myself. I truly adore my job and the incredible clients I get to work with. I love hearing your stories and doing my absolute best to capture them. For me, photography is about more than just pretty pictures — it’s about preserving that spark between you and your significant other.

Hannah at Winn's Lens was an amazing, understanding, and great listener throughout our wedding day. The quality of her work was outstanding, stunning, and exactly what we asked for. She truly brought our special day to life, not only capturing incredible photos from every angle, but also helping to wrangle our wedding party and making sure my dress and hair stayed in place. Hannah was fabulous at working with our family and friends, and she was the highlight of our day - we couldn't have imagined it without her.

We used Katy from Back Porch Petals for our wedding flowers and she blew it out of the water!!! She arranged, delivered, and set up my bridal bouquet, bridesmaids bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres, centerpieces (table runners of eucalyptus and babies breath with scattered bud vases with white roses), and 2 altar arrangements. We could not be any happier with absolutely all of it!! I got so many compliments on the florals all night and how great the reception smelled because of the florals and eucalyptus. Additionally, Katy was awesome to work with. She was very sweet, prompt with responses, and she put so much time and consideration into her quote presentations; I could immediately tell we chose the right small business to work with when we first inquired with her. 10/10 recommend Back Porch Petals!!!

I’m Kelsi, a bridal makeup artist with a passion for helping clients feel like the most confident version of themselves. What started as casually helping a friend with weddings in 2020 quickly turned into my dream career. With a background in Communications and Marketing from Ohio State, I left the corporate world to follow my heart—and haven’t looked back since. I believe being “pretty” is a mindset, not a look. My goal is to enhance your natural beauty so you feel radiant, empowered, and authentically you on your big day. Let’s create your dream bridal look, together!

Face by Kelsi was the best decision I made for my wedding day beauty. Kelsi's communication was clear and adaptable throughout the entire process - from our initial consultation to the wedding morning. She is an incredibly skilled makeup artist, and I have never felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding day thanks to her work. All of my bridesmaids, my mom, and even the officiant shared the same sentiment about Kelsi's talent. I would highly recommend Kelsi to any bride looking for a makeup artist who is both incredibly skilled and makes the entire wedding morning fun and relaxed. I would trust her to do my wedding makeup 10 times over.

On our wedding day, the space was absolutely stunning—the kind of backdrop you see in fairy tales—and it gave us plenty of room for all our guests to celebrate comfortably. When our planner forgot to arrange cake cutting, the staff stepped in without hesitation to help us. The next day, they even went out of their way to search for a phone one of our guests had lost.

Rachel is absolutely the best wedding photographer we could have asked for to have at our wedding. She was amazing to work with, from the time we reached out to her with interests in hiring her, to easing us into different poses for our engagement session, to giving us opinions on what colors would photograph best (when we were struggling with deciding on colors for our bridal party), to taking amazing photographs at our fusion Asian-Western wedding (two ceremonies in one day)! She was such a joy to have and was amazingly accommodating when my relatives wanted to take photos on their own phone too during family photos. Everyone loved her at the wedding. She was so sweet to stay later than planned so I was able to have the veil pictures I’ve always wanted during golden hour but couldn’t get due to time constraints earlier that day. We absolutely loved our sneak peeks of the wedding and can’t wait to see soon! Would absolutely recommend her for any photography needs!!!

Hi beauties!! my name is Gianna Wiesman. i am an International Bridal Makeup Artist & Licensed Esthetician located in Cincinnati OH. I specialize in bridal makeup and also offer a handful of other makeup services! i am a traveling MUA who hopes to make you all feel and look as beautiful as you are. xoxo <3 check out my instagram for more content! estheticallygi

I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Gianna!   I had been going to Gianna for waxing services before my wedding, so when it came time to choose someone for my destination wedding in Italy, there wasn't a second thought. She traveled all the way to Italy to do my rehearsal dinner makeup, my wedding day makeup, and makeup for all of my bridesmaids, my mom, and my mother-in-law.   From the very beginning, she made me feel completely confident that I was in the best hands. We did two makeup trials before the wedding, and she listened to every little detail and adjusted everything until it was absolutely perfect. She also did my brow wax and Nano Infusion Dermaplane facial beforehand, and my skin looked incredible leading up to the wedding.   The biggest testament to who Gianna is, though, goes far beyond her talent with makeup.   The night before my wedding, my family experienced a medical emergency, and we spent the night at the hospital. I didn't sleep at all, and there was a point where we genuinely didn't know if the wedding would even happen. Throughout the entire night, Gianna stayed awake texting me, checking in, sending words of encouragement, reassuring me, and helping keep me calm during one of the most stressful moments of my life. She was incredibly flexible and ready to adapt if our plans changed, which meant more to me than I can ever express.   Thankfully, everything worked out, and the wedding stayed on schedule. The next morning, Gianna somehow managed to do makeup for 10 women, including me, all of my bridesmaids, my mom, and my mother-in-law, and she finished ahead of schedule! Every single person looked absolutely stunning, and everyone's makeup lasted beautifully throughout the entire day.   Not only is she unbelievably talented, but she's also one of the kindest, most positive, calming people you'll ever meet. She brought such a fun energy to the entire weekend, and having her there made the experience even more special.   There's no one else I would've trusted for one of the biggest days of my life, and no one else I would've wanted to fly halfway across the world with for my destination wedding.   If you're considering booking Gianna, do it. She is worth every single penny and then some. I cannot recommend her enough!

We’re Maurice & Carrie, a husband & wife team who met while working at a movie theater in the suburbs of Chicago when we were just 19. We stayed best friends across states as we followed different paths, ultimately finding ourselves living in Cincinnati, Ohio, reunited (and eventually married in November 2020). Firefly Productions grew out of a passion to do something that was positive & meaningful, and we named it after the fireflies we loved chasing & capturing as children on those hot, summer Illinois nights. We love road trips and obsessed with all things history. We'd rather take the back roads and discover new small old towns!

Firefly Production Videography was absolutely amazing! From the very first conversation, their clear, consistent, and thoughtful communication, warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail made us feel completely at ease. They captured our love and emotions so beautifully, and made us feel relaxed, seen, and cared for throughout our special day. The outstanding quality of their work exceeded our expectations, and we can relive the joy, laughter, and love of our wedding every time we watch our video.

Kevin from Smilestone DJ Services was absolutely amazing for our wedding! He played all the perfect songs, kept the dance floor packed all night, and created such an incredible atmosphere. We received so many compliments from our guests about how great the music and energy were. Kevin was also incredibly friendly and made the whole process stress-free for us, which was a huge help on such a big day. One of the highlights of the night was his unique ‘4 Levels of Hype’—each level brought a whole new wave of energy and excitement that took our celebration to the next level. To top it all off, Kevin gave me (the groom) a moment I’ll never forget. He handed over the DJ equipment and let me play a couple of songs! Seeing all my friends pull out their phones and cheer me on was incredible—I felt like a celebrity in my own wedding! The quality of his service was impeccable, and we couldn’t be happier.

Your wedding is more than an event; it’s a meaningful celebration of who you are as a couple, & our role is to protect your vision, your time & your peace throughout the entire planning journey.

Working alongside Crown in Harmony for Sophia and Chase’s wedding was such a wonderful experience. They were incredibly organized, communicative, and thoughtful throughout the entire planning process and wedding day. Their attention to detail and ability to anticipate needs made everything run so smoothly, and it was clear how much care they put into creating a stress-free experience for the couple and their families. They handled every little detail (including unexpected moments that come up on a wedding day) with professionalism and grace, allowing everyone else to truly be present and enjoy the celebration. As a vendor, having a planner/coordinator who is so prepared and easy to communicate with makes such a difference. Jillian and her team was an absolute pleasure to work with, and I would happily recommend them to any couple looking for someone who will go above and beyond to make their wedding day feel seamless and special.

Maple Leaf Barn 
Rating: 5.0 (13 reviews)

I'm Libby, and my flower farm is tucked away in the (sometimes) sunny fields of Ohio. Mornings start with coffee and a moment with Jesus, while the kids and bees are already working hard. I'm hooked on both flowers and farming, and watching them grow side-by-side is pure magic. I love designing bouquets that burst with color and life, just like the blooms I nurture every season. When you choose my flowers, you're not just decorating, you're getting a slice of our joyful, messy farm life, infused with sunshine, strong coffee, and a whole lotta love.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Maple Leaf Barn and its owner, Libby! She made my entire wedding day absolutely beautiful. From start to finish, Libby was so easy to work with kind, responsive, and truly dedicated to bringing my vision to life. On the wedding day, she handled everything flawlessly. The setup was stunning, every detail was perfect, and the flowers did not disappoint. My bouquet and every arrangement looked even better than I imagined. I’m so grateful for Libby’s talent, professionalism, and calm, friendly presence throughout the whole process. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares and delivers breathtaking results, Maple Leaf Barn is the one. Highly recommend!

Hi, I'm Karley - the heart behind West & Pine Photography. I believe wedding photography is so much more than pretty pictures. It's about telling the story of one of the most meaningful days of your life in a way that feels real and true to you. I'm passionate about capturing the little moments (and the big ones!) you'll want to relive forever - the laughs, the tears, and the dance floor magic. My goal is for you to feel comfortable, cared for, and completely present on your wedding day while I document it all with timeless, heartfelt photos.

Since 2022, I’ve been telling love stories with an editorial eye and a documentarian’s heart. My work lives in that space where timeless elegance meets honest emotion—where the unposed and the beautifully composed exist side by side. Whether it’s an intimate elopement in a quiet corner of the world or a grand celebration surrounded by hundreds, my approach is grounded in trust, subtlety, and intention. I believe in honoring every story, every culture, every kind of connection, with care and with artistry.This isn’t just about beautiful photos. It’s about capturing what’s real and making it unforgettable.

From the moment we met Kenzie, we knew we'd made the right choice. She stayed in constant contact leading up to our wedding, answering every question and making sure we felt prepared and confident. On the day itself, she brought such positive energy that our whole day felt relaxed and joyful. Kenzie has an eye for capturing those small, fleeting moments we didn't even realize were happening—the candid laughs, the quiet glances, all the details that make your day uniquely yours. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and her photos are absolutely stunning. We can't thank her enough for being such an incredible part of our wedding! We love you big, Kenzie!!

A Little Bit of Green by Lisa LLC 
Rating: 5.0 (11 reviews)
  • Florist
  • Starts at $900
  • Serves Ludlow, KY

While learning the art of floral design at a local Cincinnati florist many years ago, I quickly realized how much I enjoyed working on wedding florals! I love the fact that there's nothing but happiness and joy on wedding days. So, for several years, I learned and appreciated different techniques taught to me by my co-workers. As a mom of two though, the time came for me to work from home to accommodate my kids schedules. Fortunately, I was blessed with a few people who gave me a chance on their weddings, and after a few things were figured out, A Little Bit of Green by Lisa was created!

Awarded Best of Zola
Lisa was absolutely amazing! She understood my floral vision perfectly and executed beyond better than I could’ve imagined. She is super responsive and was so helpful when deciding what I needed, while helping me stick to my budget. She made such beautiful bouquets and arrangements, such a special part of my wedding day. Thank you Lisa!

We cannot recommend A & J Music Service enough. Athena and Jeff were absolutely incredible to work with and played a huge role in making our wedding unforgettable. From the very beginning, they were professional, organized, communicative, and genuinely invested in making sure everything flowed seamlessly. The music, sound quality, timing, and transitions throughout the evening were flawless. Every moment felt smooth and perfectly executed, which allowed us to fully enjoy the night without stress. The lighting design was especially spectacular and completely transformed the atmosphere of the room. It created such a romantic and cinematic ambience, and our photographs turned out beautifully because of it. The photo booth was also a massive hit with our guests. Athena and Jeff executed everything perfectly, from the setup to the red carpet details, and it became one of the most talked-about parts of the reception. Guests are still complimenting the overall energy and flow of the evening. What truly stood out was how easy they made everything feel. They listened to our vision, paid attention to details, and brought professionalism and warmth to every interaction. We have already had multiple guests ask for their information for future weddings and events. If you are looking for wedding DJs who can create an elegant, seamless, high-energy, and unforgettable experience, we wholeheartedly recommend A & J Music Service. Thank you again, Athena and Jeff, for helping create such a magical wedding day for us.
