“Kate did such a great job to help make everything run perfectly on my best friends wedding day!! Service was bad so she was running around face timing us on the WiFi making sure everything worked smoothly for us. She took photos / videos during the ceremony so bride could have them night of. She was so great and helpful to all of us involved with the wedding and just all around fantastic. 10/10”

Stephanie Wooding (Owner / Lead Planner) When it comes to planning your event, it’s really about how that person (or team) embraces and uses that job experience in a resourceful and creative way. I’m a practical, organized, creative, resourceful, and resilient, “jeans and t-shirt” type chick. Well, the San Diego part of me is anyway. The LA in me is a driven, problem-solving, A-type, “take no guff” lady boss, that gets the job done on time, and within a realistic budget.

“My husband and I had the absolute best experience working with Stephanie, Jenn, and Steven. From the moment we booked with them, I felt completely supported, cared for, and confident that our wedding was in good hands. The planning process: Stephanie is very professional, organized, and knowledgeable. She was always one step ahead and made what could have been an overwhelming planning process feel manageable and enjoyable. One of the biggest advantages of working with her is how well-connected she is within the San Diego wedding industry. Her package included monthly check-ins and access to Aisle Planner, which kept us organized and on track throughout the entire planning process. Her packages also include using decor in her inventory which was another huge perk! The wedding day: Jenn and Steven were amazing to work with. I DIY'ed all my florals, and I greatly appreciated their help in executing this (i.e. efficiently transporting 100 floral arrangements from my hotel to the venue the morning of the wedding as well as arranging them at the venue). I also want to highlight Jenn's calm presence and exceptional problem-solving skills. A few unexpected issues came up involving our vows and my dress, but Jenn quickly stepped in with thoughtful solutions. I can confidently say she saved the day multiple times. Stephanie and her team truly went above and beyond to bring our vision to life. Their dedication, attention to detail, and genuine care for their couples were evident in every interaction. I am so thankful for everything they did to make our wedding day feel seamless, beautiful, and unforgettable.”

Invisible String Photography

Santee, CA
  • Photographer
  • Classic style

We’re Chris and Briana, the husband–and–wife team behind The Lovers Photography — storytellers drawn to the quiet, soulful magic of moody sunsets, intimate moments, and love that feels lived-in and real. We’re partners in life, in art, and in raising our two little wildlings, who remind us every day why the small, fleeting moments matter most. Between nap schedules, messy mornings, baby giggles, and the beautiful chaos of family life, we’ve learned to celebrate the beauty in imperfect, honest, heart-wide-open living — and that’s the same energy we pour into every story we capture.

“I can’t say enough good things about working with this photography team. They are professional, calm under pressure, and incredibly thoughtful in how they move through a wedding day. They communicate clearly, respect timelines, and make the entire experience seamless—not just for the couple, but for every vendor involved. Their eye for detail is exceptional, and it’s obvious how much care they put into capturing genuine, emotional moments. They create a comfortable atmosphere that allows couples (and vendors!) to feel at ease, which truly shows in their final work. I always know when I’m on a wedding with them, the day will flow beautifully and the end results will be stunning. I would happily recommend them to couples and vendors alike and look forward to working alongside them again.”

Multiple guests told us how perfectly she curated a lively, danceable atmosphere—our dance floor was full from the first song to the last. She even got everyone dancing the hora (most of our guests were non-Jewish and new to it!) with clear cues and great energy. We felt completely at ease and well taken care of the entire time.

If each step we take marks a chapter of our adventure, then our floral designs serve as a vibrant reflection of the diverse and lively community we are proud to be a part of.

Awarded Best of Zola
“We held our wedding at the Junipero Serra Museum in October 2025 and began working with Claudia at Kolibri Flower Lab in January. From the very first email to the final moments of our wedding day, Claudia and her team were nothing short of exceptional. We initially learned about Kolibri through our venue, and when we reached out, Claudia responded quickly and scheduled a call to learn more about our vision. She brought so many ideas, thoughtful suggestions, and insightful questions that helped her understand not just what I thought I wanted, but also what I could want, including options I hadn’t even considered. She was also always so fast to respond (even while out of office and traveling internationally). In my initial planning, I was unsure of what I wanted for the table settings because it was the one piece of my wedding that I was having trouble visualizing but wanted to be perfect. Claudia helped with this and made this so easy by continuing to share photos and ideas. She also created the most beautiful flower recipe for the event and every flower at the event was in perfect condition. On the day of the event, everything was perfect. Her team was there early and assembled the most beautiful arch and welcome sign. We had so many guests comment on our florals and the decor her team worked on. It was truly one of my favorite parts of the day. I cannot recommend Claudia and Kolibri enough - for weddings or florals in general!”

Thanks for visiting Breezy Day, we are so happy you are here! We are a sister team in San Diego, committed to helping you make your engagement & wedding day a breeze! WE CANNOT WAIT TO GET TO KNOW YOU!

“We got married last weekend and Courtney, the founder of Breezy Day, was our coordinator. I truly cannot overstate how incredible she was to work with - she made ALL the difference in the day and how smooth it yet. We kept a moderate budget for a traditional wedding and did a lot of it with the help of friends and family, and I truly think that the outcome being SO good was partly because of Courtney. She was so well worth adding that line item in our budget. Her knowledge, sunny and cheerful attitude, efficiency, and thorough attentiveness made it so we could actually enjoy our wedding, instead of worrying about anything else or any little issues. Having a professional makes all the difference. She just made it all happen. If you want to relax on your wedding...she's your gal! My husband was very hesitant and resistant to having a coordinator and his view on it has completely shifted because of how great she was. She also took some fun photos for us that turned out so cute, and we have those in addition to our photographer and videographer. And, if you're looking into the Thursday Club in Point Loma, she is the preferred coordinator for a reason!! She really is the best! BOOK HER!”

She never stopped taking pictures and captured some wonderful moments throughout the night. We anxiously awaited our photos and they turned out better than we expected. She did a wonderful job capturing all the important memories. All of the pictures were gorgeous and she really made you feel special.

The photo booth itself was a huge hit—our guests couldn't stop talking about it and had a blast taking pictures throughout the night. The quality of the photos and prints was excellent, and we felt like we got real value for what we paid. Pixster went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly, and we'd definitely book them again for any future events. Highly recommend them to any couple looking to add something fun to their wedding!”

  • Photographer

  • Serves Santee, CA

I’m a people person. I’m observant, intuitive, and deeply inspired by real connection. I care about experiences, emotion, and the kind of moments that can’t be staged. I love photography because it’s storytelling in its purest form. It’s the ability to capture energy, emotion, and meaning in a split second. What drives me is creating images that go beyond aesthetics — photos that hold memory, movement, and feeling. For me, photography is about preserving what’s real, so you can return to it again and again.

“Maya is a true professional with a creative vision and great imagination. She is so talented in capturing stunning images! Maya provided helpful guidance on posing and positioning to ensure we felt comfortable and natural in front of the camera. She was attentive to every detail, helping us select the perfect backdrops and locations. Maya's calming presence and warm personality made the photography experience smooth and enjoyable. The pictures turned out beautiful!! See it yourself!”
