One of the best DJ'S EVER! We used HiMotive Entertainment for our wedding and when I tell you that these people are professional, I mean it. David gave us suggestions on why certain lighting changes the whole vibe of the events. Used him for three events and all three were phenomenal. I'm talking people getting picked up on shoulders phenomenal. I still have family members messaging me a week back telling me how much they loved the DJ and MC. The MC at our reception was great as well. He got almost every single person engaged in the event and was able to get almost every person on the dance floor and no one left the dance floor. Truly a memorable experience for me, my wife, and all my guests

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a great experience working with Jade Events and Co. Kayla was our day of coordinator (which really was like month-of assistance plus day-of coordination). From our first conversation, she gave great guidance, was very organized and thoughtful. Even though I was pretty organized myself, I was constantly worried about missing something obvious because wedding planning was so foreign to me. She helped talk through our random questions and find solutions (including on the day). She seemed a little quiet/nervous handling some of our more bold family members but ultimately did well! Kayla also worked seamlessly with our other vendors. She was kind and overall a delight to work with!

I'm an award winning photographer based in Wilmington and have be voted Community’s choice photographer for the last 3 years. I specialize in creating emotional, true-to-color wedding images that feel just as meaningful years later as they did in the moment. My style blends natural light with creative flash photography to capture both the soft intimate moments and the fun high-energy memories of your day. I’m not just there to take photos — I’m there to help you feel comfortable, confident, and fully present while preserving your story in a genuine way.

We used Misty Lynn for our wedding photography on 4/30/26 at Belle Vue Wilmington, and we couldn’t be happier with our pictures. From the very first time I reached out, she was incredibly responsive, kind, and generous—she even offered referrals for other vendors we still needed. As the wedding got closer, she checked in to confirm details and arrival time, which gave us so much peace of mind. On the day of, she made a point to make eye contact with me as soon as she arrived so I knew she was there and getting set up. I’ve never enjoyed taking pictures, but Misty’s fun, laid‑back vibe made the entire experience surprisingly enjoyable. We were told to expect about a two‑month turnaround, but we received our full gallery earlier than expected—and she even sent sneak peeks later that same night. The value of what we received for the price was phenomenal. I highly recommend Misty to anyone looking for a photographer who is talented, thoughtful, and truly wonderful to work with.

Hi there! I'm Jess, a wedding photographer and proud UNCW student who turned my passion for photography into a business in 2023. Photography is more than just a job for me—it's a way to capture love, joy, and all the little moments that make your big day unforgettable. Whether you're planning an intimate ceremony or a grand celebration, I'm here to document your story in a way that's authentic and timeless. I'm always eager to try new styles and creative ideas, so let's make magic together! Can't wait to be a part of your special day!

Jess Lojek Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. Their communication style was effective, fast, and respectful, which put us at ease throughout the entire wedding planning process. The quality of their work was truly amazing - it exceeded our expectations and was top of the line. They answered all of our questions, gave us helpful direction on what would work best, and were so patient with us and our family. We really felt like Jess and her team genuinely cared for us and our special day. We are thrilled with the stunning photos they captured that we will cherish forever. We highly recommend Jess Lojek Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.
