Working with Wedding Studio Pro was an absolute pleasure. Their communication style was open, fast, and professional from our very first interaction. The quality of their work was truly remarkable - the photos they captured are beautiful, detailed, creative, and artistic. They were patient with us throughout the planning process and maintained open communication, which helped make our special day even more special.

Bukky and her team did an AMAZING job on our wedding day. The day went flawlessly. Exquisite Events & Floral Design handled our wedding planning and all the decor as well. Some things I really appreciated were Bukky's professionalism and her consistency throughout the whole process. She was beyond helpful, experienced, and knowledgeable, especially since we had no experience and really no external guidance. She gave us a calming feeling throughout the entire process. We also loved working with her whole team! On the day of the wedding, she had her team split up, one with my wife and one with me, while Bukky ran the show at the venue. They were great resources for us and worked seamlessly with our videography/photography team. Overall, we are SO grateful and blessed to have been recommended to Exquisite Events & Florals. It’s a 10/10 for anyone looking for assistance.

When I was in the throes of wedding planning over a year ago, I was reaching out to vendors and putting payments down for June 2, 2024, and was crossing my fingers my deployed fiancé would even be able to attend, thanks to his unpredictable schedule. Amidst the stress (and borderline panic attacks!!) I was having because of that, I was also receiving a lieu of impersonal emails with quotes from photographers. When I got the email back from Jessica, she was the only one who answered with excitement and personality, and gave me a sense that this was supposed to be FUN. All this wedding planning was a very lucky sort of stress, and she didn’t make me feel like I was just some box to check off in her inbox— she was personable and friendly, and I liked her immediately. For the course of the year, Jessica and I kept up with eachother with texts, messages, and Instagram— and I felt like she was already a friend when June arrived. Even after her 12 hour journey to Virginia, she was full of energy and ready to go. She helped adjust some coordination timelines and caught things that I otherwise wouldn’t have. She hung out with my rambunctious family all weekend, witnessing our love and laughter, WIDE range of personalities, and even some sisterly tiffs. Honestly, she whole-heartedly became part of our crew. She ran everything past me when it came to details. Duke and I are not people who are comfortable in front of a camera, and I LOVED having her specifically tell us what to do to look good, while still feeling incredibly relaxed and natural around her. Duke and I kept saying she had Jedi powers the way she was able to flip cameras, batteries and equipment seamlessly. I’m writing this while in the airport leaving our honeymoon, and not only did Duke and I, and our families fall in love with Jessica— I still have guests reaching out to me via text to tell me how they hit it off with her on their own, how impressed they were with her ethic, or how they loved pictures from our sneak peek (eeeek!) I am not a girl who naturally feels pretty or comfortable in front of a camera. Jessica gave me the gift of finally experiencing both of those things on our special day. I felt beautiful and at ease. She captured the bridal portraits that I hope my great grandkids will put in their family tree projects for school one day, some of Dukes family and mine meeting for the first time, friends dancing, and our grandparents mingling and giving us their love. Duke and I knew our big white wedding would be our one chance to have everyone we love in one place. We are well aware of the rarity in that, and the fact that we don’t have much longer with some of those people we love. We’re well aware that these are the photos Duke and I will be looking at with our grandchildren when we’re old and grey, thinking about “the good ol’ days.” These photos are all we will have left one day of the people we love so fiercely, and these versions of ourselves. We will endlessly be grateful for Jessica of her effort and the labor that went into photographing a weekend like ours. She captured every single aspect of us and those we love, and above all us, gave us the gift of memory. 3 Faith and Duke

Alex and Katie at Redwood were incredible for day-of-coordination. They made planning less stressful by answering our questions, providing useful resources, and giving great feedback on timeline. On the day-of, Katie managed set up/clean up, kept us on track, and gave us a general sense of peace. I’m usually a little Type A, but as a bride I felt I could fully chill and enjoy the day with Katie there - we were in good hands. She worked seamlessly with our vendors, venue, and officiant (a friend who officiated for the first time) and checked the little details. We loved her so much, we recommended her to some friends and we’ll see her in a month at their wedding!

Richard was helpful and respectful throughout our entire wedding planning process. He worked flawlessly with me, my partner, and our wedding planner to pull off an incredibly fun reception. Richard did an initial call with my partner to discuss the general vibe we were looking for, and we knew immediately he would be a great fit for our wedding. Richard gave us a helpful questionnaire to fill out key songs and general musical interests (and do not play songs). Richard was also happy to jump on calls with us to talk through our questions and hopes for our big day. I especially appreciated that Richard was able to play some German songs for some guests who had flown in from Germany, as that got even some of our older relatives on the dance floor. People were partying all night thanks to Richard! Richard catered to our wide age range of guests, and even gave us a couple of bonus closing songs that were the perfect conclusion to the night. We could not have asked for a better DJ.

We cannot say enough great things about DJ Don Carlo and his wife. From the very first time we reached out, they were incredibly organized, professional, and easy to work with. Throughout the entire planning process, they made everything feel seamless and stress-free. They were always quick to respond, detail oriented, and genuinely invested in making sure our wedding was exactly what we envisioned. On the day of our wedding, DJ Don Carlo absolutely delivered. He brought such amazing energy to the reception and knew exactly how to keep the dance floor full from the very beginning until the very last song. He read the crowd so well and created a perfect flow of music that kept our guests engaged and having the best time. We've had so many friends and family members tell us how much fun they had dancing, and that’s thanks to him! What really stood out to us, though, was something that happened just a few days before our wedding. Our mariachi canceled on us three days before the big day, which was incredibly stressful and disappointing. When we told DJ Don Carlo, he immediately stepped in to help. He shared a post on his Instagram story asking if anyone was available to fill in, reaching out to everyone he knew who might be able to help. That moment showed us just how much he truly cares about the couples he works with. It wasn’t just about music for him, it was about making sure our day was everything we hoped it would be. That level of care and kindness is rare, and we will never forget it. If you are looking for a wedding DJ who is not only talented and experienced but also truly kind, dependable, and supportive, DJ Don Carlo is the one. He goes above and beyond in every way, and we are so grateful to have had him be a part of our wedding day.

I looked at SO MANY wedding videos and they were all so similar and cookie cutter. They were lacking something but I couldn’t put my finger on it. THEN I FOUND JIMMY SHIN. I watched his videos and found myself sobbing at strangers videos! He made me feel like I knew the bride and groom after just 7 minutes. He's so good! Jimmy will take your wedding video and turn it into the most beautiful story. The video he made for us just so beautifully captured my husband and I's day! It's a video i'll cherish for the rest of my life. I can't wait for our kids to be able to watch it. UGH, seriously hire this man and you won't regret it. Best wedding money we spent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?viVAKZzODr6E

At BREE Visuals, we believe every wedding is a defining chapter in the history of love. The photos and films our award winning team captures aren’t just breathtaking images — they’re your legacy. And to us, legacy isn’t just a word. It’s the story of who you are, the love you’ve built, the people who shaped you, and the traditions you honor. Through intentional storytelling, vibrant visuals, and real connection, our team of storytellers craft timeless heirlooms your family will cherish for decades.

Brandon was so easy and fun to work with from the first call to the day of the wedding! He captured our vision so well and relayed to message to his team, and they delivered. Chris and Blake actually shot the wedding day and we had just a good time! Chris was the best hype man and made us feel like superstar models the whole day. We had a fun time! Blake and Chris were so nice and carefree which helped us feel relaxed and like they were just two more friends there to celebrate us. We got the pictures back in such a reasonable time, as well! That was a nice treat because we couldn't wait to relive the day through the pictures :) Thank you so much to Brandon and his team (s/o Chris & Blake!) for capturing the magic of our favorite day!! I would highly recommend them to do the same for you!

I was that kid enchanted by Disney Princess movies and the idea of "true love". My true love revealed itself through photography. At 8, I grabbed my dad's camera and was hooked, thrilled to show people my world. I started with zoo animals, friends, and siblings, eager to freeze moments in time. As I grew, I learned from local photographers and knew by 17 that photography was my calling. Since then, I’ve captured love in all its forms: couples, new parents, best friends, and the joy of seeing your favorite band live. The world is full of magical firsts, and I'm honored to capture these moments forever.

If I could give more stars… I would. Kaitlyn was truly a dream to work with! Her and her second shooter (Jake) truly felt more like friends than photographers for the day. They fit right into the day and it made our day so much more fun. I will give warning, you will have to be ready to be obsessed with your photos, and look at them about 50 times a day. Definitely not speaking from experience, AND I only have the sneak peak photos (writing this only two weeks after our wedding day). Kaitlyn is a professional but she makes your time with her fun and effortless. She great at communicating with you about what you want from your day, and how she can provide you with the best photos. I am so sad our day is over and I won’t get to see her and work with her any time soon, but trust me, I will be finding more excuses to work with her again. BOOK WITH KAITLYN JOHNSTON PHOTOGRAPHY!!!

Rose Collective Weddings was an absolute pleasure to work with. From the very first interaction, their communication was timely, empathetic, and friendly. Chantel, our wedding coordinator, stepped into her role seamlessly, guiding us through the planning process with her wealth of knowledge and detail-oriented approach. She helped organize us every step of the way, even stepping in to direct our photographer who was new to weddings. Chantel's organizational skills and great eye for aesthetics ensured our wedding day ran smoothly from start to finish. I highly recommend Rose Collective Weddings to any couple looking for a dedicated, professional team to bring their wedding vision to life.
