We have spent everyday since assuring that we are sending out amazing work to keep her dream alive. We pride ourselves on attention to detail and finding the balance in beautiful cakes that are also delicious.

Awarded Best of Zola
If I could give Just Think Cake more than five stars, I absolutely would! They created the bridal and groom’s cakes, along with macaroons and dairy-free cupcakes, for my daughter’s beach wedding in Navarre on March 14, 2026—and every single bite was unforgettable. The cakes were not only stunningly beautiful, but truly some of the most delicious we have ever tasted. I can say with complete confidence: this is the best bridal cake I have ever tasted. It was perfection in every sense—flavor, texture, and presentation. Guests are still talking about it! From start to finish, the owner and staff were exceptionally polite, patient, and professional. Planning a wedding can feel like juggling seashells in the wind, but they brought a calm confidence to every interaction. No question was too small, no detail overlooked. They handled everything with precision, grace, and complete excellence. The dairy-free cupcakes were a huge hit—something that can be hard to perfect—but they nailed it in both flavor and texture. The macaroons added such a beautiful and elegant touch to the dessert table, and the groom’s LSU cake was both creative and incredibly tasty. What truly sets Just Think Cake apart is their ability to combine artistry with flavor and flawless service. They didn’t just deliver desserts—they delivered a centerpiece experience that elevated the entire wedding. If you are looking for a bakery that will exceed expectations and make your special event unforgettable, Just Think Cake is the one. We are beyond grateful and will be recommending them to everyone we know!

Our goal is to make wedding films that are as unique as the love you two share. My wife and I started Written in Film together in 2017 and excellence has been at the heart of everything that we do. Each and every couple receives not only a creative wedding highlight, but also a Wedding Day Film showing all timeline events under our coverage time. When I'm not shooting or editing weddings, you'll find me spending time with my wife and son, and more often than not, filming them instead.

Josh and Tori shot our wedding in May of 2020 amidst all the uncertainty of a Covid wedding! They were so flexible and professional during that time, and we were so thankful! They are considerate and sweet, while remaining detailed and organized, which proves to be a valuable skill set balance for someone who will follow you around, be in your personal space, and capture the most precious moments of such a significant day! And the videography they produce is stunning! My Mother in Law couldn't stop telling people about how amazing it was, that it looked like a Hollywood budget movie! And she never gushes about anything haha! Since my wedding in 2020, I started my own successful luxury wedding planning business, and I am more convinced now than ever that Josh and Tori are the most caring, talented, and professional video team! I've seen Josh pour over his footage for hours, painstakingly editing each frame for the best light and color balance. The care and love his team puts into their work is unparalleled! Their turnaround times are reasonable and considerate. You could not ask for a more dedicated and skilled video team. They bring all the best equipment, the most skilled and coordinated team, and incredible passion for their work! My wedding video is so treasured! We love Written in Film!

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Ian for our wedding videography & he was absolutely incredible to work with! I will recommend him forever and ever!! Let me preface my review, by saying that I am a professional wedding photographer myself…so I was having a really hard time choosing photo/video for my own wedding in May of 2024. Ian was referred to me by another photographer & I’m SO glad I took a chance with him! From our very first communication, up until delivery - he was professional, but also really easy to talk to, & understanding of our vision. I admire professionalism in this industry - but what I value a bit more than that, is someone who can put me at ease, someone who listens & make me feel cared for, & someone who becomes a “friend” during the planning process - which is exactly what he did. He checked in with us often before the wedding for different reasons & I loved that! On the wedding day, he gave direction, but also stood back & let things happen! I hardly knew he was there most of the time (in a good way)! Then it came to delivery of the videos-which we got SO FAST! I was floored. I expected it to take a few months, which I was fine with, but we had them way sooner & it was an amazing surprise. The video is so artfully crafted, & feels like US - it’s exactly what we wanted! I honestly can’t thank Ian enough or recommend him to enough people. Book him NOW NOW NOW! You won’t regret it! 5 stars!!!

I started shucking oysters at seafood restaurants on 30A in my early 20s and loved it instantly, it was always my favorite thing to do wherever I worked. When my wife and I were planning our wedding my boss offered as a wedding gift to come shuck on our special day. When I saw the setup I knew I wanted to turn it into a business and Howdy Feller was born. We exist to bring joy to couples on their special days through our passion, the salty sweet bivalve that is the oyster. We provide a raw bar and mobile shuckers for weddings, accoutrement is standard cocktail, horseradish, lemon, crackers, and mignonette but can be tweaked per your desire!

Howdy Feller Oysters provided an incredible catering experience for our wedding day. From the very first interaction, their communication style was friendly and inviting, putting us at ease throughout the planning process. On the day of the event, Andrew, their lead oyster shucker, was incredibly knowledgeable and brought an amazing personality behind the counter. His energy and enthusiasm helped create a fun and professional vibe that all our guests raved about. The oysters themselves were absolutely amazing and added a truly unique and memorable experience to our special day. We couldn't have asked for a better catering team to be a part of our wedding celebration.

Growing up I was told that Dreams become Reality, that was all I needed to know that I wanted to be a part of making that happen for others! We are timeline writing, vendor coordinating, detail oriented. As we develop your wedding aesthetic, we are consciously aware of the meaning of every stylish choice; from escort cards to flatware to florals. Leave the logistics to us, and we will make sure every moment of this journey is lived stress-free by you!
