I found Brandy on Zola in 2024 and we quickly set up a wedding consultation. From the start, Brandy was super informative and helpful, using her expertise to explain how to get the best styles for my wedding photoshoot, rehearsal dinner and wedding day. Throughout the planning process, I changed my mind about the styles 3 to 4 times, and Brandy was incredibly patient with every change. She is knowledgeable and professional, carefully describing each step during make-up application and hair styling sessions. On the wedding day in 2025, Brandy and her team arrived early, fully prepared with all the tools needed for make-up and hairstyling. They managed to style eight women with plenty of time for pictures and conversation. What stood out the most was how easily her team blended with my bridesmaids, making the whole experience memorable. We received so many compliments on our make-up and hair, and I couldn't have asked for a better styling team. Thank you so much, Brandy, for making many of my days BREATHTAKING!

What can I say? The Revery will FOREVER be a place that holds a special place in my husband and I's heart. Monica, the owner, is such a pleasure to work with. She is very particular but she is upfront about her rules from the very beginning and never tried to add any hindrance to what we wanted. She was super communicative and kind throughout the whole process. Then - there's the venue itself. We ended up having all three events there. Ceremony (outdoor veranda), Cocktail Hour (upstairs photo studio), Dinner (indoor veranda). Even though it's a "white" space where you have to bring everything in, we LOVED this component because we felt like we were able to design our wedding from start to finish. The blank canvas provided us with an opportunity to really add our own personality. This was the first decision we made when it came to our wedding planning and it was the BEST one we could've made. We love you, Revery!! xo

So many moments were captured that slipped my mind too. I am SO grateful for Erik having the eye and skill to document each significant, touching moment, detail, and experience of Dillon and me, our guests, and our day. The way he orchestrates these moments is beyond movie-level cinema too. It all blows us away. Erik is destined for great things! Erik is a new hidden gem in Southern California.

Straight to the point: MARTINA IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST! The one regret I have is not hiring her sooner. You can tell she loves what she does through her work. She’s loving, caring, responsive, on top of stuff (your stuff), very knowledgeable and just does everything she can to make the process as easy as possible. On our day-of, if anything went wrong, I knew nothing of it, everything went great and we received nothing but positive feedback from our bridal party. They all fell in love with her and her amazingness just as we did. You won’t regret hiring her, that I promise you. One of my last asks of her was for her to join me on the dance floor for one dance, and she sure did fulfill me ask. We love you so much, Martina, thank you for helping make our day so amazing and special. We miss you so so much and are happy we crossed paths xoxoxo

Hi, I’m Zoey. I founded Eveni based on my love for all beautiful things. I seek to design the perfectly imperfect, creating unusual yet subtle designs that reflect nature with an undiscovered beauty that is effortless and refined. It is the marriage of these two cultures which gives the work such meaning, combining beauty with balance. I love the way floristry allows me to unleash my inner artist. Putting together displays of seasonal colour and texture is at once fiercely creative and immeasurably soothing, and being able to create wedding flowers that play a part in people’s happiest memories makes it all the more rewarding.

I took up photography at the ripe age of 11 with a Polaroid I borrowed from an aunt. It quickly became my sketchbook as I worked to capture stills of the world and people around me. Those images have continued to pay emotional dividends throughout my life, helping me better understand what I have now come to see through a new scope. They are grounding, melancholic, funny and beautiful. Some of my most cherished possessions.

We enjoyed the overall experience with Indigo West from the start. He understood our preference for mostly candid photography and he did mostly that, leaving us plenty of time to mingle with guests. The photos he did direct we also loved it was nice he kept that quick, which made it very easy for us! Very happy with this vendor!

I'm Jarrod. I'm a wedding photographer based in the US. Originally from Florida and now traveling full-time in a Sprinter van shooting love stories. ​I like to describe my approach to wedding photography as documentary with an editorial flare. About 80% of the day I am capturing your day as it naturally unfolds in a beautiful way. The other 20% I love to prompt you or direct you to create romantic images that have intention and FEELING. Sometimes portraits will feel romantic and editorial and other times they will feel playful and fun. It fully depends on your personal relationship. I love to tell your story as authentically as I can.

Awarded Best of Zola
People often debate what's most important for a wedding: is it the venue, the food, the flowers... ?  It's the memories, and putting them in the hands of artists who can show you the heart and soul and feel of every moment - moments you can't plan for, you can never adequately take in, and many you would simply miss. Jarrod and Taylor are certainly technically gifted photographers and videographers, but more importantly they are artists whose true love is capturing yours.  The name says it all: The Narrative. My bride Ali and I will be forever grateful that we found and convinced them to tell our story.  I could imagine a thousands different weddings, but none without them by our side. Thank you, Jarrod and Taylor, you beautiful humans, for your truly awesome and unbelievable care, vision, and talents.  You've given us more than we could have ever imagined or even hoped for, through your perfect lens.

Brooklyn-raised, LA-based, I specialize in crafting weddings as unique and authentic as your love story. With a passion for the arts and event planning, I create experiences that connect people. I’ve had the honor of planning events across New York, Florida, California, and destinations like Cancun and Grand Cayman. Whether it’s an intimate elopement, microwedding, or grand celebration, I’ll handle the logistics so you can enjoy every moment. Fluent in Spanish, I offer seamless communication in both languages.

I met Stacy at a bridal expo. I knew I wanted a day of coordinator but I didn’t put heavy importance on it in the beginning so I was through a lot of the planning before I contacted her. Big mistake! I should’ve hired her from day 1. She was so helpful with everything! She looked over the catering before I ordered it to make sure it was enough food, she reviewed my quotes to make sure I was getting the best deal, she reviewed my rental invoice and told me what I did or didn’t need to rent. She helped me find a DJ and some serving/cleaning staff to help out and make things run smoothly. She was so quick to reply and she thought of things I didn’t even think of. She offers site visits as a service and I’m so glad I added that because we walked through and we were able to decide where everything would go to make to most sense. She checked in with me to make sure I was happy with the set up of things I didn’t go over with her. She kept us going on time with our tight timeline of events. She even made sure to serve us plates because we were so busy we never made it inside to serve ourselves. She kept in contact with all the vendors for me. She helped set up the ceremony and reception site and did a beautiful job. She even took some bts shots and shared them with us. She is so professional and knows what she is doing. She was worth every single penny and more, things could not have turned out so perfect without her help and she did it with a smile the entire time

We had our cocktail hour and wedding reception at the Portofino Hotel & Marina. There was quite a bit of staff turnover throughout the months during our planning process and we were nervous when our initial catering manager left, but we were so grateful to have Rain who took over as our catering manager and did an excellent job with our wedding reception! Rain stepped in seamlessly and was wonderful to work with. He took the time to understand our vision and provided suggestions to enhance our reception. His professionalism was evident in every interaction, which gave us great peace of mind during the planning process. Rain helped us create special details, like our signature drinks, and included thoughtful touches that really made our wedding day feel extra special. Thank you Rain!! We received numerous compliments from our guests about the delicious food and impeccable service. The venue itself is stunning and we couldn’t have picked a better reception location. I literally gasped when I walked into the ballroom and saw it all come together with the white linens, the gold chivari chairs, the white dance floor, the blue ocean and sunlight streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows. It was even more breathtaking as the sun was setting. Our reception was more beautiful than we could have imagined and I’m so glad we chose the Portofino!

Hey hi, I am Vital (pronounced as Vee-tal), and I am your most chill wedding guest with a few cameras around my neck and a cheerful smile. I have been a wedding photographer since 2016, and every year I fall in love with my job more and more. My wife and I have a dog and a cat. We love to travel, eat good food and binge-watch good shows. I enjoy reading or listening to books, especially adventure novels and biographies. Alpine climbing, backpacking, and road-tripping are among my favorite activities too. There is more to my life story on my website :)

My husband and I loved working with Vital for our wedding photography and videography! Neither of us enjoys being photographed very much, but Vital is super friendly and put us both at ease. He was very easy to communicate with and was a welcome addition to our wedding day. We never felt like they were in the way or interrupting. We got through the obligatory group shots very quickly which I think everyone really appreciated! His photography is beautiful, both posed shots and candids. He has a great eye for design. Plus we got married last week and already received over 50 photos from our gallery!

From the months leading up to the actual wedding and on the day of the wedding, Edgardo was incredibly sweet and accommodating throughout the whole process. He went out of his way to make sure that the violinist that I hired had everything that she needed to be able to perform. Even though we hadn't included the additional setup in the original quote, he gave it to us as a wedding gift. He was on top of all of the songs. Not once did I turn around and feel like he had left his station. He was managing the photo booth phenomenally while also providing every song that we had requested on time and with an enthusiastic behavior. He kept the crowd excited. He knew the right times to change the music and he was absolutely hysterical by joking around with our guests and even being playful when introducing key songs. He really cares about his work and the service he provides. He goes above and beyond to make you feel special and taken care of and is someone I would hire for any event that I throw in the future. I had a phenomenal time working with him. I will say don't be stressed if he doesn't respond to your text messages. He is definitely somebody that will answer a phone call more often than a text. But nevertheless, he shows up and provides incredible service with a smile and I couldn't have asked for our event to go any better. He really really did a great job. Just make sure that you put everything you want in his app because he uses that to make sure that he does what you're asking of him. All of your comments all of your needs. Any specific songs you want played are all in there, so be sure to stay on top of that so that you can guarantee a wonderful experience like I had. I can't say this enough. Hire him. Hire him, hire him. He did everything more than any DJ that I had requested quotes from!

From the moment I reached out to Rio Hondo by Wedgewood Weddings, their communication was fast and responsive. They always said "yes" to my ideas, making the planning process incredibly easy. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, with ample space and stunning rose bushes that elevated the ceremony area. David, the wedding coordinator, was an absolute gem - he truly made my vision come to life and made me feel like a queen on my wedding day. I cannot recommend this venue enough, you will not regret booking Rio Hondo for your special day.

Victoria made the entire process from picking a date, location, and theme/outfit options so enjoyable. My fiance was not ecstatic to be taking pictures but he lightened up and we both were laughing and at ease very quickly.
