TAJ Photography was everything we could’ve hoped for and more! From the moment we booked, communication was seamless and professional — they answered every question and made us feel completely at ease. Andre traveled all the way from New York to South Bend, Indiana, and showed up ready to capture every meaningful moment of our big day at Rio Park Events. He paid close attention to the details, coordinated effortlessly with our bridal party, and made sure we looked and felt our absolute best in every shot. The photos are vibrant, emotional, and beautifully edited — true works of art. I felt like a queen and my husband was glowing! We are so thankful for the care, creativity, and dedication TAJ Photography brought to our wedding. Highly recommended for any couple who wants stunning memories and top-tier service!

I’ve always loved the magic of a wedding morning — the laughter, the nerves, the quiet “this is really happening” moments. I consider it an honor to be invited into that space. My goal is to be a calming, uplifting presence while creating hair and makeup that feels soft, timeless, and true to who you are. I focus on enhancing your natural features — not covering them — so you feel comfortable, confident, and like yourself, just elevated. I want you to walk into your wedding feeling cared for, radiant, and excited. If we work together, you’re not just getting an artist — you’re getting someone fully invested in how you feel.

Nathan helped make our wedding day so special! Throughout the planning process, he took the time to really go through the details of our day and get to know us. He got excited about our ideas and gave great suggestions on how to bring them to life. On the wedding day, Nathan helped make sure everything ran smoothly, coordinating with other vendors and our friends and family to make sure everyone had what they needed from before the ceremony through the end of the night. He knew we wanted to do our first dance and toasts outside during cocktail hour, right before sunset, so he made sure to check in with us to get the timing just right, and it was magical! During dinner, we had curated a playlist of first dance songs from our guests, and he helped create so many special moments by encouraging folks to get up and dance when they heard their song, and stayed flexible when we were ready to get dancing started. The reception was an absolute blast and my dream dance floor. The end of the night was perfection with several "last songs" and getting to soak it all in in a circle of our favorite people. Nathan is an expert and the whole night flowed so perfectly with so many core memories created. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

I loved working at this wedding venue to film and photograph a wedding this past August 2025! The communication from the wedding day coordinator from Once was friendly, and she had great communication which made the entire event easy to shoot. The facility itself is a hidden gem, offering a beautiful setting with stunning views of Seneca Lake and the Finger Lakes region. Everything was conveniently located in one place, from the ceremony to cocktail hour and reception, making the flow of the day seamless for me as a vendor. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend Once Finger Lakes to any couple looking for a unique and memorable wedding venue. As a videographer and photographer, the lighting and having the whole event in one place were highlights making this a venue I would love to work with again. I also loved seeing guests natural smiles and reactions to seeing the cool "wine vending machines" they could use on site, and the customized drinks were also a nice addition. I could tell guests and the couple were all really enjoying the experience from the content I captured.

What can I possibly express with words alone about Abby Arnold and her team? Abby is an exceptional human being and professional. She feels simultaneously like an unknowable entity and a long time friend or family member. She makes her clients feel extremely comfortable while also being so well-organized and accommodating. She has excellent artistic direction. I barely had to do anything, and when I look at my photos I feel like I don't know myself. I have never looked so beautiful, I didn't know I could even take pictures like this! She and her team worked overtime to make all my dreams come true, and I will be forever grateful for their hard work and dedication. These photos of my family and friends, who are from all over the country, finally all together in one place, will be cherished for the rest of my life. I would hire Abby and her team a million zillion times over, and I think you should too. Give her the opportunity to read your late night emails with all your pinterest inspiration attached. Allow her to soothe your anxieties about not looking tall enough or not knowing how to pose. Watch in awe as she wrangles your unpredictable family members into one beautiful photo you will value for the rest of your days. She is amazingly talented and a great person to be around in general. I will be forever thankful!

Some photographers and videographers will tell you they discovered their passion early. For me, it was a feeling I couldn't shake. A wedding day is one of the few moments in life when everything that matters happens all at once, and someone needs to be trusted to hold it. I've been that person for over 400 couples since 2009. From intimate ceremonies in the Finger Lakes to grand celebrations at Rochester's most iconic venues, I've spent more than fifteen years learning how a wedding day breathes. Where the emotion lives, when to move closer, and when to simply be still and let a moment unfold on its own.

Darren was our wedding videographer and we truly could not be more pleased with his work. He spent so much time day of the wedding with us, made it a very comfortable experience, even had a sewing kit on hand when I had an unexpected dress mishap!!! Our video is a memory that we will treasure forever of our most special day.

From busting my best moves on the dance floor, getting that wild uncle away from the bar for family formals, to making sure you feel like the baddest B in the room..I've got you!

Dani's expertise was invaluable - she made us learn how to pose for photos and curated amazing shots that captured all the special moments of our day.

Hi, I'm Jacalyn — the photographer behind Jacalyn Meyvis Photography in Rochester, NY and the Finger Lakes. Photos should be timeless. No trendy wedding filters here. On a day as special as this, you should remember all of the important moments. In a way you'll love both now and in 20 years.

I am SO glad I chose Jacalyn to take our wedding photos! As someone much more comfortable behind the camera, I was determined to find someone I could really trust with my very specific vision. Jacalyn delivered and more! Jacalyn took photos on our wedding day and during our Vietnamese tea ceremony the night prior. We also asked her to add on Super 8 film for our wedding day - and it was worth every penny! (For shooting the Super 8, she was accompanied by her second shooter, Bekah, who was equally amazing!) Jacalyn is truly a professional through and through. She was extremely organized throughout the entire wedding planning process and kept communication open. On the wedding day, I was stressed about a lot of things - but the photos were not one of them! Throughout the day, she was able to capture so many special moments that I would never have even seen otherwise given how preoccupied my husband and I were. I am eternally grateful for her ability to capture such details through her work. She not only has a great eye and instinct, but her editing style is impeccable. It's so timeless and natural, and exactly what I wanted! My husband and I are already talking about booking subsequent photoshoots with her for anniversaries and future events.

We are happily married and working together as husband and wife, capturing your memories and making them last a lifetime. Julia Hart is about our experience with the people we work with. We give you what we believe should be given to a client. Our time, our patience, our honesty, our dedication, and our best work. We want to capture those wild weddings - deep in the woods, on the beach, bright pops of color, stunning florals, sneakers-under-the-dress weddings. We live for the little in between candid moments that you’ll look back at and think - they were capturing this!? Your happiness is what makes Julia Hart thrive.

Julia and her husband were absolutely amazing! We are so happy we decided to have them be apart of our wedding day. Our photos are timeless and they are wonderful people to work with. We are speechless with our photos and the quality they are. We can’t wait to use her for all of our family photos in the future. 10/10 recommend Julia Hart!

My name is Makenzie Sonricker and I own MJH Beauty. I am a licensed esthetician and professional makeup artist. I obtained my esthetics license in 2014 and started my makeup journey in 2013. I have extensive makeup experience ranging from weddings, events, runway, photoshoots, publications, anything involving makeup I’ve likely had my hands in it!

I worked with Makenzie at a styled event and she was absolutely fantastic to work with! The make up she did for the brides was flawless! I couldn’t recommend her enough, and I make sure to recommend her to anyone in need of a make up artist!
