Extraordinary Event Video & Photo 

5.0

South Pasadena, CA
  • Videographer
  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $1,250

My documentary filmmaking journey has taken me around the country and to Central America. I have a Master's in Visual Anthropology from USC and am professionally trained to adapt to any and every situation I encounter. I am technically skilled, artistically inclined, and most of all, possessed of a remarkable empathy that enables me to capture the human essence of every couple I encounter.

Steve was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From our very first interaction, Steve demonstrated a professional, anticipatory, and thoughtful communication style that put us at ease. His work exhibited the poise of a seasoned veteran - seemingly everywhere, but unobtrusive; gentle yet confident. He understands the complex choreography of a wedding, and navigates it with poise and artistry. We cannot recommend Steve enough.

Rebecca y Las Otras 

5.0

South Pasadena, CA
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style

I am a documentary wedding photographer -- I'm all about capturing real moments. In my photographs, I’m always shooting with an eye for color, light, and dynamic shadows. I integrate these technical aspects with my background in film, literature and storytelling so with every wedding, I create a series of documentary photos that recreates the authentic narrative of a day. I’m always chasing the candid, the emotional, even the un-noticed everyday details; things that make you do a double take, little moments that make your heart swell.

Rebecca was awesome beyond words and we highly recommend her. Our wedding was non-traditional and posed some unique challenges. We threw a backyard Halloween party and surprised our guests by exchanging vows at midnight. To go along with the surprise and remain incognito, Rebecca showed up in costume as an old-timey reporter with a "PRESS" marker tucked in her hatband. She pulled the ruse off flawlessly, blending in and chatting effortlessly with our friends so that she could capture those perfectly candid and special moments throughout the night. No one appeared camera shy, no one looked awkward or directed, every last portrait was of a cherished friend at their joyous best. We had been initially concerned about our lighting conditions since the event was outdoors and at night. We couldn't go too overboard with party lights, nor did we want our photographer to be milling through the crowd with a bright flash. Rebecca laid our concerns to rest well before the event, and her expertise with low-light shooting is on display in our gallery. The photos were absolutely stunning. Some of our favorites were the amazingly touching and genuine reactions of surprise when we revealed we were getting married. We could not be happier or have asked for a better photographer experience. We'll cherish these beautiful mementos for the rest of our lives and we cannot recommend Rebecca y las otras enough.

THE GOLD COLLECTIVE 

5.0

South Pasadena, CA
  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $16,000

Authentic, timeless, essence, natural, and candid are the most significant narratives when capturing a wedding day and are always at the center of the brand's heart. We love natural light, a strong action-stopping camera flash, capturing enchanting couples with inventive dance moves, making new friends, a flowing champagne tower, and a heartfelt toast.

I LOVE working with Ivy. I sifted through what felt like 50 wedding photographers and came out completely defeated because while they were talented, their photos didn't capture what I was hoping to remember looking back at my wedding day photos. Then I randomly found Ivy and she easily is the best thing I've ever found on Google, no joke, hahah. Her style of photography and approaching our wedding day allowed us to still take the traditional family portraits, but honestly, I hardly look back on those compared to how much I fawn over all of the other photos of the day/night that she took. They look straight from a magazine and Ivy made it so easy to be comfortable and completely trust that she would give us incredible photos, which she totally did. I seriously can't recommend Ivy enough. I actually still keep in touch with her because she's so talented and we collaborate often! (:

Flores De Bosquez

  • Starts at $3,000

Flores de Bosquez was founded in 2017 by Marisa Bosquez-White. Based in Los Angeles, Flores de Bosquez offers florals for weddings & events, botanical styling for editorial projects and custom deliveries. Flores de Bosquez is known for our distinct aesthetic. We work in a naturalistic style, allowing nature dictate the design. We choose the most exquisite materials with an emphasis on seasonal, local and foraged botanicals. Marisa is drawn to the unusual and strange, working with botanic materials deemed imperfect or odd and mixing them with more traditionally “beautiful” florals to create a look that is wholly her own.

I recommend Marissa and her floral studio to all of my couples that are in or traveling from the LA. You can feel the love and attention to detail that she puts into every arrangement. I am in love with every one of her designs. Each are truly unique; thoughtfully and artistically composed and one of a kind. Exactly what every couple needs to breathe in on their special day. She's a delightful artist that genuinely cares about her work with her clients. Highly recommend your arrangements with Flores de Bosquez.

Rob and our DJ Jordan B were so great to work with and were one of our favorite vendors for our wedding! The booking process was easy, and communication was fantastic. Any questions, requests, or info I needed was answered and addressed so quickly and efficiently, and it really makes the entire wedding planning process just that much easier. All our favorite songs playing throughout our wedding at key moments like our ceremony, reception, and first dance made the event feel so dreamy and cinematic, and I can’t thank Rob and Jordan enough for making our event so memorable. We also booked our photo booth (Feature Booth) through them, and it was the same amazing communication and day of execution. As a graphic designer, I wanted to customize the text around the photo to give it a little bit of a special touch, and they were able to accommodate this and send me a digital preview as well. They definitely know what they’re doing at Second Song and definitely a team I would recommend to couples for their upcoming weddings!

Seth was the best wedding DJ that we could have hoped for! We first met Seth at a wedding vendor expo event at our reception venue and were immediately impressed by the quality of his sound system and his ability to mix the selected soundtrack live. Seth is very communicative. In our first meeting with Seth, it was already immediately apparent that he was very experienced and very passionate about making our wedding day special and everything that we wanted it to be. We felt very comfortable that he knew what he was doing, and on the day of the wedding he executed flawlessly. As for the preparation work, Seth schedules multiple meetings with you leading up to your wedding day which eases a lot of the nerves heading into busy planning season. Seth also has an app that you can download on your phone which is awesome because it allows you to edit details of your wedding day timeline and playlist on-the-go as we were making decisions during the planning months. On the day of the wedding, Seth came prepared having downloaded all the music that we talked about ahead of time and he kept the dance floor alive ALL NIGHT (over 3 hours). Seth responded to the audience and was able to mix a variety of genres that we had requested (like country, pop, spanish music, musical songs, etc) over various sets across the evening. He also coordinated our photo booth which was a nice touch that all the guests really enjoyed and had a second person stationed there for help all night. We couldn't recommend Seth enough to other couples who are in need of a DJ! Thank you, Seth!

Randall de Leon Photography

  • Photographer
  • Classic style

  • Serves South Pasadena, CA

Photography has always been a lifelong passion of mine, I picked up my first camera as a gift from my dad when I was 14 years old. Never in a million years would I have thought that my lifelong hobby could eventually become my career. I focused on my future, working my way through college and grad school to achieve my license to practice, but a part of me realized that I wanted to pursue a career that allowed me to go on adventures and meet a lot of new people. So in 2019, I took that risk, changed my hours from full time to part time and put more focus on my photography. I booked my first gig later that year and have never looked back.

Awarded Best of Zola
We can’t say enough great things about Randall! Our journey with him started when he captured our surprise proposal, and from that moment, we knew he was the perfect photographer for us. He also did our engagement photos, and when it came time to choose a wedding photographer, it was an easy decision—it just felt right to have him document another milestone in our lives. Randall is not only incredibly talented, but he also made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. His style perfectly captures who we are, and we love how natural and authentic his photos feel. He was also so accommodating, even when we made last-minute changes to our engagement shoot location. We are beyond grateful for the beautiful moments he captured, and we know that when the time comes for future milestones, Randall will be our go-to photographer. Highly recommend!

Can't say enough about the quality of James's work, his attention to detail, his professionalism, and curating the best dance party experience at our wedding!! From start to finish he was extremely prepared and provided us with all the materials needed to organize the music and run of show. As both DJ and MC, James truly went the extra mile to make our day run seamlessly, and made us feel so special. He was even accommodating to our last minute music requests and was very patient with us. In addition to being extremely professional, prepared, and organized, he is such a down-to-earth and kind, genuine person. He even captured some videos of our first dance and grand entrance that we wouldn't have had otherwise because we didn't have a videographer. This was so thoughtful and truly above and beyond! We personally added on the photo booth option and are glad we did, as it was a hit. His rates were very reasonable as well especially for the package we got. Everyone raved about James and the music. He made our wedding day exactly the party we hoped for - the most fun we've ever had! Highly recommend James & All The Above Events for your next wedding or big event.

The Oviatt Penthouse was the first and only venue we toured. It was love at first sight. We wanted an Old Hollywood/jazz nightclub vibe and the venue just fit the bill. The interior is fully furnished and it will transport you back in time to an Art Deco era. Very minimal wedding decorations are needed. Outside, the view of DTLA day or night will take your guest’s breath away. Once contract was signed, the planning process was easy peasy. They have a helpful Preferred vendor list so we were able to book a great caterer and day of coordinator right away. The Oviatt planning team, Lindsey and Cami, were so kind and patient with my multiple questions. Day of the wedding, the Oviatt staff were a super hero team. They were in constant communication with each other and my wedding coordinator to run things smoothly. Also very sweet and friendly. Shoutout to valet, security, and bartender! 3 All in all, our wedding was a magical day thanks to the Oviatt’s wonderful atmosphere. After it was all over, I received multiple messages from guests raving about my wedding. Some told me it was one of the best and most unique wedding experiences they have ever attended. So if you want an affordable venue with historical character, I highly recommend booking The Oviatt Penthouse for your wedding.

I’m not even sure where to begin to describe how amazing Events by McKenna is at what they do!! McKenna is the most kind, helpful, and enthusiastic person to assist you during such an important time in your life. She made sure everything went perfectly on our wedding day and every day leading up to it! When we first started our wedding planning journey, we only knew where we wanted to have it, and due to the venue location not regularly being used for weddings, we needed to outsource vendors for everything. That's where McKenna came in and helped us out by hand-picking every vendor that she knew would provide the exact things we were looking for. From catering, florals, furniture rentals, DJ, and all the little details, she knew who would be perfect for the job and she was right about every single one! Every time we had a question or a crazy idea, she had an answer right away and she would do everything she could to make it happen. One thing that we were really hoping for was getting a disco ball above our dance floor, but since we were outdoors, it wasn’t looking promising. McKenna was the one who made sure that we got our disco ball, and it was absolutely perfect! That’s just one example of the many ways McKenna ensured our dream wedding would become a reality. On the day of, McKenna and her team were so efficient and handled everything so that my husband and I could relax and focus on ourselves. We got to our venue and everything was already done and ready to start the day! McKenna was amazing at time management throughout the day, and she was so helpful to not only us, but our families, wedding party and guests as well. Everything went perfectly on schedule and all the crazy ideas that we had came to life with no issues! It was truly the best day of our lives and it wouldn’t have been possible without McKenna’s help! I could write so much more on how incredible Events by McKenna is, but to sum it all up, they are the best choice for your wedding planning and coordinating needs and you will not regret choosing them for your big day!!

I plan weddings in Los Angeles, Central Coast, and Orange/Ventura/San Diego Counties.

Awarded Best of Zola
My wife, Kristie, and I are writing this on our one-year wedding anniversary, and as we reflect on that unforgettable day, it’s impossible not to think of Tavi and the extraordinary role she played in bringing it all together. Simply put, we hit the jackpot with her as our wedding planner. From our very first meeting, we were drawn to Tavi’s calm, grounded presence and the genuine care she showed in getting to know us. Her deep knowledge of weddings, paired with her warm and approachable demeanor, made every step of the planning process feel manageable and, dare we say, enjoyable. People told us to “enjoy the planning,” but it wasn’t until we worked with Tavi that we truly understood what that meant. She made it easy to trust the process—and just when stress would start to creep in, a single call or email from her would immediately bring us back to center. Tavi’s passion for what she does shines in everything—from the big picture to the tiniest detail. She has an incredible gift for listening, for understanding what matters most to her couples, and for making those things come to life with such heart and precision. No detail was too small, no task too tedious. Whether it was vendor coordination, timeline logistics, or just making sure we took a breath and a bite during the big day, she had it covered—always thinking five steps ahead. Her vendor recommendations alone were worth their weight in gold. Each introduction she made felt thoughtful and aligned with who we were as a couple. It saved us so much time and energy, and it was clear that the people she surrounds herself with are just as dedicated and professional as she is. Thanks to Tavi, we were able to be fully present on our wedding day. We didn’t have to worry about a thing. One of the most touching gestures was how she made sure we had a quiet moment to ourselves after the ceremony, complete with our favorite appetizers and drinks. Later, we came back from golden hour photos to find a beautifully plated meal and cold drinks waiting for us—something that often gets missed in the whirlwind of a wedding. These little moments made a world of difference, and they happened because Tavi cared enough to make them happen. Our wedding would not have been what it was without Tavi’s dedication, intuition, and steady hand. She gave us the gift of peace, joy, and the ability to fully experience one of the most important days of our lives. We are forever grateful to her—for her patience, her warmth, and the love she puts into her work. With all our hearts, Kristie & Xavier

Checkout my LinkTree for upcoming events, more reviews, and to visit my instagram. Let's team up and create memories! It is important for me to articulate, that I serve ALL PEOPLE EQUITABLY!! However, I do want to note that I do require that the couple has a Day of Coordinator (not the venue coordinator as they are different). Otherwise, I will also charge for coordination services as that puts the burden of day of logistics on the DJ.

DJ Trey is THE BEST DJ!!! I wish we had even more time on the dance floor to keep letting him mix because he’s a genuinely fantastic DJ! Not just a DJ who sets up an iPhone or Spotify and lets it ride mindlessly, but a DJ who reads the crowd, takes input from the bride and groom, and uses his skill and best judgement to provide music that gets everyone on the dance floor. Literally everyone at our wedding was on their feet for dancing and loved all the music DJ Trey played! He also was fantastic in making sure all of the music played on their appropriate cues and was well-prepared. He was great to work with for our wedding and we can’t wait to throw another party just so we have an excuse to use DJ Trey again!

Carissa is truly the MVP of our dream wedding. She made my vision come to life and allowed me to actually ENJOY the day, because she held everything together so seamlessly. From our very first meeting, Carissa showed incredible professionalism — she is organized, always ahead of schedule, and a true trooper who constantly reminded me that I was in good hands and that everything would turn out beautifully. Throughout the planning process, Carissa was there every step of the way: from designing the vibe, brainstorming stationery ideas, narrowing down floral options, and helping with venue and vendor selection, to managing the actual flow of the wedding. You think you know what you want — until you’re faced with ten different options and endless Pinterest posts! Carissa was my calm guide in those moments. She patiently walked me through decisions, helped me focus on what mattered most, and gave thoughtful, supportive advice while always respecting my final choice. One of the things I appreciated most was how she reminded us that this was OUR day, and that we should experience it fully. She built the itinerary to include intentional moments of privacy, so we could process everything and make lasting memories together. On the wedding day itself, Carissa and her assistant Helena were with us every moment — directing us where to go and what to do so we didn’t have to think about logistics. She even prepared little cards for our wedding party with key times and tasks, so everyone knew exactly what to expect. When last-minute needs came up (as they always do), Carissa was like a fairy godmother — somehow making everything appear and solving problems before we even had the chance to stress. Overall, Carissa is THE wedding planner if you want your dream wedding. She doesn’t just help you execute your vision — she helps you build it, piece by piece, with incredible care and expertise. Her network of vendors is also fantastic, which saved us so much time and stress. Thanks to her, we ended up with an incredible team, including a handroll ice cream cart that was such a hit! If you want a planner who is professional, organized, supportive, and truly dedicated to giving you the best day of your life — Carissa is the one.

Victoria and her team are an absolute pleasure to work with! They made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and were able to give us amazing advice on what they wanted to capture and always asked if we wanted anything more. Every conversation/consultation we had with Victoria, gave me the reassurance that Cruzio Studios was the right fit for us. She sent us a preview collection within 3 days of our wedding with amazing and stunning photos. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to shoot our engagement and wedding. Thank you for everything and we definitely recommend choosing Cruzio Studios to capture your special event!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Somethings Blooming LA and Michelle Lane. After our original florist cancelled with less than six months before our wedding, Michelle truly came to the rescue — and working with her ended up being one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From our very first meeting, Michelle’s artistic and collaborative approach stood out immediately. Talking with her felt completely different from every other florist we considered. She genuinely listened, asked thoughtful questions, and made me feel like my vision was truly understood — not just filtered into a cookie-cutter template. Every meeting felt creative, intentional, and reassuring. Michelle was not our least expensive option, but we wholeheartedly felt her expertise, guidance, and artistry were absolutely worth the investment. The value she brings goes far beyond flowers — it’s her eye, her experience, and her ability to translate ideas into something truly special. Even my then-fiancé (now husband!) became a massive fan. He doesn’t warm up to people easily and is usually very skeptical throughout the planning process, but he couldn’t say enough good things about Michelle and working with her. That alone says a lot. My bouquet was beyond stunning — unique, thoughtful, and exactly what I had hoped for. It felt so personal and special. The rest of the florals completely transformed the space and brought everything together so beautifully. We are endlessly grateful to Michelle and Somethings Blooming LA for their talent, professionalism, and heart. If you’re looking for a florist who truly understands vision, artistry, and collaboration, look no further.

Dart Collective was an amazing group to work with. Their music map helped us nail the vibe that we were going for. The DJ they matched us with, Vinny, was amazing. He kept the party alive and matched the exact energy we were looking for. Also excellent value!
