Awarded Best of Zola
I first found Vargas Videography because of the style, beauty, and personality of their work (especially as someone who works in film), and then what continued to impress me was the care and attention to detail that they put into our wedding day. What began as a relatively large wedding, was eventually downsized to be an elopement ceremony & dinner with 10 of our closest friends. Luis worked with me to adjust our video package based on our changing needs, and one of the videographers he works work, Felipe, was assigned to come out and film our day. Felipe was so pleasant to work with, and approached the day with professionalism and so much care. And then to top it all off, the resulting footage and edited highlight real were stunning and personal, and so loved by both my husband and myself. It was an amazing experience all around, and we couldn't recommend Vargas Videography more.

Destiny and Mac were the perfect photography team for our wedding. They have a background originally in wedding videography/cinematography, and after seeing their beautiful cinematic work I was immediately interested in working with them. They've extended their skills now to photography as well and are so talented at both. They were so enthusiastic to capture our special day and it really showed in the stunning photos they delivered in record time. Destiny made me and my bridesmaids feel so comfortable in front of the camera, which resulted in beautiful, natural-looking images that we'll treasure forever.

Ayla is the definition of a perfect vendor. She is exceptionally talented, dedicated, resourceful, and collaborative. She exceeded our expectations and made an already lovely space feel magical. Ayla's passion and artistic skill is obvious. She immediately understood our organic, airy, and romantic vision, and she and her team made it a reality. With her expertise, an assortment of poppies, ranunculus, chamomile, sweet peas, smilax, etc., brought so much beauty, life, and color to our wedding day. Every design element - from my bridal bouquet to tablescapes and tent installations to our ceremony chuppah (undoubtedly, the most stunning chuppah I've ever seen) - was perfect. Not only does Shade Studios deliver an incredible product, but Ayla is also just cool. She's fun to talk to and brainstorm with, and her excitement, creativity, and curiosity make for a wonderful client experience. I highly recommend Shade Studios. 100/100!

Our small team of award-winning photographers and videographers celebrate the candid, authentic beauty of your day. Because when you look back on your album you should remember the fun, easy, imperfect, personal moments that make you, you -- not how long you had to pose.

We can't thank Adam and his team at Doubleknot enough! Our wedding was attended by 150 people in upstate New York including a church and reception venue. We hired Adam and his team for photography and videography. He even gave us a complimentary engagement shoot! Since our engagement shoot we were happy with Adam's photography. He took us around a park in Brooklyn. Adam's friendly nature and clear direction made us feel comfortable as a couple who aren't used to being in front of the camera. We got some amazing shots that look natural and beautiful. We really enjoyed Adam's creativity and spontaneity. From the very early morning of our wedding Adam and team were professional, timely, and respectful. The Doubleknot team followed our run of show and were organized. We had two teams of photographers and videographers for the getting ready portions of the bride and groom. It's such a treat to look back at all the bridesmaids and groomsmen preparing for the big day. We love how candid and perfectly captured these moments were. Even the smaller moments seemed special like all the wedding details and the trip to the church. Adam and his team got all the big moments perfectly as well. From walking down the aisle to the I do's the team got everything. We appreciate all the formal family portraits as well. Everyone we wanted photographed was photographed and we now have plenty of photos to gift to our family. Adam and his team did a great job giving us enough time between enjoying our guests and being photographed especially during cocktail hour. We have plenty of beautiful photos of us on the venue grounds while also not missing out on our wedding. While we mingled with guests and enjoyed cocktail hour the team got great shots of our venue, food and guests. When it was time to dance we were happy with how much personality was shown in the photos of our guests and how much fun we all had. We love the sweet photos of all the speeches, flower toss and cake cutting. The team was flexible in staying past what we had previously agreed to so we got plenty of photos and video late into the night. We received our photos and video in a timely manner and even some beautiful photo books. We would definitely recommend Doubleknot. We're so grateful for all the happy memories we now have of our wedding and are so impressed with the quality and creativity of their work!

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Isaac’s photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking.

I serve all over New England and travel on-site to my brides to ensure their wedding morning is seamless and leaves amazing memories!

Awarded Best of Zola
One of the best decisions I made for my wedding day was signing JW Artistry! I’m so pleased I had Erica, Jessica, and Marissa do my hair and make up as well as my five bridesmaids, mom, and godmother. I’m not one that wears makeup often and my skin is very sensitive, but Jessica did an incredible job making sure I was comfortable, the makeup was not heavy, and the look was exactly what I was going for. She was also extremely meticulous and accommodating during my trial! Jessica is clearly very talented, and knows exactly what she’s doing. I loved my makeup for the wedding day! It looked so natural, but enhanced my features perfectly. Now in terms of Janna and Angela, I am so grateful to both of them and how organized and responsible they are with running their business. They were so communicative, gave me updates, answered all my questions, and showed a lot of integrity throughout the whole process to make sure that I was feeling confident about my artists, my timeline, and my experience. Truly so professional and trustworthy. And finally, Erica, who was hands down one of the shining stars of my entire wedding day. I’m still in disbelief with Erica‘s devotion to my group. She really went above and beyond on the day. From keeping our flower girl busy and making sure she doesn’t touch the tools to helping my mom find her lost phone to staying till the very last minute to make sure I didn’t need any additional touchups to walk me through every step of her doing my hair to literally spending several minutes with a single individual hair and making sure it wasn’t in the way…I could not be more grateful. My jaw literally dropped when she showed me the picture of the back of my hairstyle. She also saved the day when I got a floral piece for my mother that had a white ribbon that needed to be concealed and Erica masterfully covered it up so that mom did end up wearing it on the day. My girls loved their hair and makeup too. The artists did fantastic with mature skin. And guests were stunned with how gorgeous everyone looked. I know a thing or two about makeup and Jessica is very much in the know about certain products, techniques, and trendy looks. From hydrogrip primers to ABH palettes, she knows her stuff. Also, one of my bridesmaids is a hair dresser and she was also very impressed. In fact, one bridesmaid had really short hair and Marissa nailed it somehow! Working with the length and creating a gorgeous look. She also pulled out that Fenty bronzer because she ain’t playinnn. Every artist was on time, professional, ready to go with plenty of high-quality tools and products. So grateful for this team!

Thanks to Tracy & George and their staffing team, our wedding day was far beyond what we ever dreamt of!!!! I will rewind back to when I first emailed Tracy about our wedding catering inquiry. She was super responsive and able to get us in for a tasting ASAP. We instantly were drawn to Platinum Party Planners because they offered a variety of catering packages and we were able to pick one that suited our budget. A lot of other caterers were firm with their pricing which is stressful! During the food tasting, Tracy sat with us to discuss our wedding day vision and took thorough notes while George cooked & served us the food. Because I did not have a "day of" planner to setup all my DIYs/decor, she said not to worry and her team would handle it (ummm AMAZING!!!!!!). At the tasting, we were blown away not only by the taste of everything, but the gorgeous plating! Everything was absolutely beautiful and screamed high end, even with our limited budget. We had our wedding at RGNY Riverhead and initially they wanted us to choose a caterer from their exclusive list. Tracy went out of her way to meet with the managers/staff at RGNY and thanks to her high level of professionalism and expertise, they allowed us to proceed with using Platinum at our caterer!!! Prior to the wedding, Platinum assembled a whole timeline/order of events for our wedding day (with my approval of course!). Fast forward to our wedding day, Tracy NAILED our decor instructions, food was delicious, and the staff was awesome!! Platinum also made up menu cards for each seat, UNREAL!! Tracy only approached me ONE time the whole wedding day and it was only to say hi and congratulations!! This showed me she had everything under control and didn't need my input on anything. Once the reception ended, the team thoroughly cleaned up and took care of disposing all the garbage. All this to say, I truly could not thank Platinum Party Planners enough. Tracy & George went above and BEYOND to make me the happiest and most stress-free bride in the world. I will forever look back on that day as the happiest day of my life. Love you guys, you are absolute PROS!!!!

LIFE HAPPENS FAST. ANYONE LOOKING BACK AT THEIR WEDDING DAY WILL TELL YOU, IT’S A WHIRLWIND OF MOMENTS AND EMOTIONS. That’s why I’m here. I’m Daria and I’m a memory caretaker. I make heart-warming, intimate wedding films so that on your wedding day, you can savor those moments and emotions. As a visual magician, I’ll conjure for you a beautiful film that will allow you to remember. When I had my second child, I worried I was missing things – they grow up so fast! I began filming them, focusing on the simple but beautiful things people tend to overlook. When I film weddings I look for these same types of moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
First and foremost, if you are reading my review I hope you know you are making the best decision in your life by selecting GoDaria Films as your videographer for your special event. Why? Let me tell you why... Daria who is the owner of GoDaria Films is the best and kindest person you'll ever meet. She is incredibly gifted with her knowledge and expertise on videography capturing breath taking and awe-inspiring moments that are likely seen in movies. Before the wedding, Daria set up a time to get-to-know us, dive into our vision and hopes for the wedding day and personalized that experience. We felt comfortable because she went over all the details and even behind the scene expectations. We felt ready because she answered all of our questions and listened and made notes on our preferences. On the day of the wedding, I am super nervous and not confident on how I feel or look as a bride, Daria always seize the moment on reassuring me and reminding me that the videos are turning out incredible and better than she could imagined. She was super fun to work with, always smiling and reassuring. Her guidance is the best thing I've ever experienced, she taught me even in such short time on where to look, how to walk and do certain things to elevate the videos and highlight ourselves. Because of Daria's kindness and gift, she was able to bring back the happiness we all long for as a family and peace even for just one day. Her work is truly a blessing and tremendous impact in all of our lives! We are so thankful for her compassion, unwavering commitment and service to humanity. We love Daria and we pray for the continued success of her company as she continues to bless families like us something worth living for which is LOVE. I hope you would share Daria's work to your friends, colleagues, loved-ones and families! Let's support her and her passion and I hope you all enjoy some of the pictures she captured on our wedding day! With love, Chris and Josy Mendez 11-06-2024

For the biggest day of your life, you can't look anything less than brilliant. The morning of your wedding, we bring our team to sharpen up the gents. With our straight razor shaves, haircuts & styling, the groom and his party will be shining for the main event and photo shoots.

We’re writing this together because we both feel like Doorbell Barbers played such an important role in our wedding day. From the moment they arrived, the energy shifted—in the best way possible. There was music playing, everyone was laughing, and the vibe was calm, confident, and cool. As a couple, we spent months planning every little detail, and Doorbell Barbers made the morning feel effortless. While I was getting glammed, the groom and his groomsmen were getting shaves, massages, and styled on a PRO level! Seeing him all cleaned up and relaxed — not rushing or flustered — was such a gift. It gave us both the chance to fully enjoy the day from the very beginning. Every couple deserves this kind of energy going into their wedding. We can’t thank the Doorbell Barbers team enough — they brought luxury, warmth, and serious style. Worth every penny.

My husband and I had one non-negotiable for our wedding - to have a live band. We went to the BVT showcase and immediately fell in love with Experience. They were a little bit out of our budget, but we decided to book them anyways and cut back on other things and let me tell you ...they were worth every single penny!!! Luke is the nicest, coolest guy and so great to work with!! He listened to every request we had leading up and I truly didn't think about a thing during the wedding day - he had our timeline completely under control and kept us on track (and if we were running behind I still have no idea because he's that good!!). The band is INCREDIBLE and had our guests on the dance floor all night!! I realized at the end of the night I never even changed out of my heels into my white sneakers because that would have meant leaving the dance floor. Our guests are still telling us how amazing the band was and several of them even got their card for their own events! Having Experience was the best decision we made!! Thank you to all of you for making our wedding day so memorable and fun!!

From the moment we booked Shelby Phillips Photography, the communication was excellent, easy, and seamless. Shelby and her team have an incredibly creative and artistic eye, capturing all the special candid moments of our wedding day(s). Shelby shot both of our weddings, a Covid city hall wedding and our post pandemic wedding. We also have recommended her for our family's engagements and weddings, and we all couldn't be happier with the results of everything she has done. I would hire her to photograph anything, at any time, because I know that no matter what, the results will be stunning. Even if it was just a picture of a garbage can, I promise you that garbage would look high key incredible. Shelby has a way of making even the most camera-shy people feel completely comfortable in front of the lens. We are obsessed with how amazing our photos turned out, and we highly recommend Shelby Phillips Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.

We're all about telling epic love stories – no cookie-cutter stuff here. Based in Miami but up for an adventure anywhere, we're not your average wedding videographers.

Your love story is one-of-a-kind, and that's how we approach filming it. We're not just about the big scenes; we're into the little details, the stolen glances, the goofy grins – everything that makes your love yours.

We are so thrilled to be writing this review because we simply cannot speak highly enough of Trey and TreeHouse. We have never worked with video for another event before, so we weren’t sure quote what to look for, but came across Trey’s videos and could immediately tell they were something special. We’re both musicians and also appreciated how well the edits synced with the music as well. We were hoping that our wedding video would have a documentary feel — capturing the beautiful natural location in New York’s Catskill mountains and the feeling of our group of people coming together to celebrate us. It was a laid back wedding and a really amazing group of loved ones and we wanted to see and hear things that wouldn’t be captured in photos and we wouldn’t be able to take in at the time. Trey helped craft a specific package to meet our request and speaking to him it was clear he understood what we were hoping for and built on that vision with his perspective. Wow! Trey delivered!! He brought in a second shooter, Brent, who was so helpful in capturing the day. Not only were they truly amazing people to be around (all of our friends and family were so comfortable and at ease with them), they were exceptionally professional and skilled. They kept us calm and collected in the midst of details and a tight wedding day schedule. Watching the videos was an emotional experience because Trey managed to capture the feeling of the wedding celebration perfectly and get candid and intimate interviews with our friends and family that touched us (and were new to us) months after the wedding. It was clear just how carefully Trey had listened to us in our meetings leading up to the wedding — he heard us and did an amazing job bringing our dreams to life. I really wish I had videos like this capturing other important times in my life. If you are considering whether to get a videographer for your special event or wedding, you absolutely should. If you are considering Treehouse Creative, I cannot recommend it highly enough as people and as professionals! Seriously!

Together Carly and Elliot of Nomadic Love are the ultimate power team for your wedding day. As a husband and wife team feeding off one another’s strengths, they can truly maximize on so many more elements than a single person.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we reached out to A Nomadic Love, their communication was quick, detailed, and responsive. My husband and I no longer live in Dallas, TX and despite the time zone difference, Carly was always so easy to reach out to regarding any questions or concerns about our wedding day. Carly and Elliot were both extremely professional, but also so easy to work with throughout the entire process both before, during, and after our wedding day! Three months prior to our wedding, Carly and Elliot even came to our wedding venue ahead of time to test the lighting, which was a concern of mine since our venue was indoors and I was concerned about how everything would photograph, especially in regards to my bright red wedding dress. In addition, the two of them worked so effectively throughout our wedding in regard to the photos. My husband wanted to be surprised when I walked down the aisle, so the only opportunity to take couple’s portraits was after our ceremony prior to the reception along with getting photos with our family. Their attention to detail and ability to work within our time constraints ensured we got beautiful photos that perfectly captured the joy and love of our special day. We couldn't be happier with the service and quality of work from A Nomadic Love, and would highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.

You will NOT REGRET booking Cinematic Horizon Films for your wedding!! They are so professional and so easy to work with. We were in touch with Oleg throughout our entire wedding planning process. He is responsive, so helpful, and will make sure you are getting exactly what you are dreaming of for your wedding videos. The day of the wedding, we did not have to worry ONCE about our videography. They were on-time, helped us to get all of the shots we wanted and more, and somehow managed to finish the day with some guests not even noticing they were there! Not only do they give you such an amazing product, but they are also such a pleasure to work with and so much fun to be around! We had a blast spending our day with Oleg alongside us. Cannot say enough good things about Cinematic Horizon!!! Highly highly recommended!

We booked Teyanna in 2022 for our August 2024 wedding and did not regret it one bit. It was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Teyanna was beyond accommodating and informative throughout the entire process. Her precise, creative, and professional "client-first" mentality shone through. From countless Zoom calls to meeting up in person to select flowers, it was more than we could have asked for and were expecting. Her professionalism and creativity showed through when we had to improvise our outdoor ceremony to an indoor one thanks to a horrific tropical storm. She called us on the morning of our wedding to ensure we were doing okay and went over every detail with both my husband and me to make sure she and her team didn't miss anything. We cannot wait to work with Teyanna again in the future.

Loved working with Isabel. She had great suggestions for us when we came in with a vague vision, and stayed super-flexible and kind through every stage of the planning and execution, even helping fashion a last-minute unplanned corsage just before the aisle walk. She helped connect us with a flower recycling service as well, in response to my wish for a sustainable event. The end result was lovely. Couldn't have asked for better than Isabel!
