Holly Johnston Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding day. From the very first interaction, their communication was fast, responsive, and professional. On the day of, Holly's laid-back and organized approach put us at ease, and the resulting photos were absolutely perfect. Holly was incredibly efficient, working seamlessly with my husband's limited patience for photos to capture hundreds of beautiful moments. When her second shooter didn't show up, Holly made sure I didn't have to worry, and she ensured I still had plenty of flawless photos. Holly was also refreshingly honest, refunding me for the missing second shooter on the day of the wedding. We couldn't be happier with the service and value provided by Holly Johnston Photography.

My approach is defined by the Henry Saint-Jean Films signature, a commitment to documenting your day rather than directing it. Supported by the production power of Piximpress company, I blend seamlessly into the background to capture unfiltered, authentic moments as they naturally unfold.

Awarded Best of Zola
From our very first meeting with Henry at Piximpress, we knew we were in great hands. He took the time to really get to know us as a couple and made us feel completely at ease. Henry walked us through his approach with clarity and care, and his attention to detail in planning our wedding video gave us total confidence leading up to the big day. On the day itself, Henry was a calming, unobtrusive presence—he blended in seamlessly while still managing to capture every heartfelt moment. He worked so smoothly with our other vendors and truly went above and beyond to make sure everything ran effortlessly. When we received our final videos, we were blown away. The way Henry pieced everything together was nothing short of artful—the pacing, music, emotions, and storytelling were all spot-on. It felt like we were reliving the day, but with even more appreciation for the beauty in the details we may have missed in the moment. Henry’s professionalism, warmth, and genuine passion for his craft stood out from start to finish. We feel so lucky to have worked with him and cannot recommend Piximpress enough to anyone looking for a deeply thoughtful, talented videographer.

Her energy is so warm, fun, and uplifting, and she brought such a calming presence to our wedding day. It felt like we had a close friend by our side cheering us on, while also capturing every moment so beautifully.

Her work is absolutely stunning, but it’s her kind heart and genuine spirit that make her truly one of a kind.

Lauren was absolutely SUPERB. Her attention to detail was like none other and she helped me and my wife have our dream wedding in March. What really separates Lauren is her on-site planning. Lauren was an absolute rockstar both the night before and also the day of making sure that me and my wife were both hydrated and having a good time. We had a wedding of over 160 people and Lauren was awesome with contacting vendors and taking the heavy lifting off of our shoulders as well as keeping us on schedule. You may not realize all that goes into planning on the front end, but once the big day comes you want a professional to provide peace of mind and both me and my wife the next day both agreed that Lauren really did her thing. Highly recommend.

Hosts and guests can expect a peaceful, luxurious stay with premium amenities.

This venue is not your traditional wedding venue and I love it! It has a lot character but you can really make the space your own when decorating. Great outdoor space and a cozy indoor space. Love how they have lodging on the property and it's close to downtown so the after party is a quick ride away.

The Maridor was a beautiful venue for our wedding. From the moment we first contacted them, the staff was great to work with - responsive, friendly, and very accommodating of our needs and requests. On the day of the wedding, everything ran smoothly thanks to their meticulous attention to detail. The space itself is stunning, with elegant decor and lovely natural lighting. Our guests raved about the beautiful setting and said the venue really elevated the whole event. We're so glad we chose The Maridor for our special day, as they helped make it truly unforgettable.
