FêteFone helps you capture the magic of your celebration—the joy, the tears, the laughter—in a way you’ll cherish for a lifetime.

We were initially drawn to FêteFone because it was such a fun and different idea—but I had no idea just how meaningful it would become. Hearing our grandparents’ voices, our best friends cracking up, and even the sweet slurred messages from our dance floor crew—it all made us laugh and cry in the best way. The setup was truly plug-and-play. We now keep our vintage mint-green FêteFone displayed on a shelf at home, and every so often we pick up the receiver just to relive that joy. It’s not just a guest book—it’s a time capsule of love. I can’t recommend it enough.

AwestrucKen Photography focuses on ensuring great moments in time are caught. As much as we are tech/gear heads with regards to equipment, we also know that the greatest piece of equipment any photographer can have is his/her brain. We pride ourselves on using our brains and our gear to not just take pictures, but to tell stories. While pictures, as Dorothea Lange says, “take an instant out of time; altering life by holding it still”, it’s also important that each instant of time is part of a person or event’s story.

Ken was the absolute perfect addition to our special day! Obviously you cherish your wedding photos forever and we could not be happier with them! On our big day, he made sure to get the most beautifully stunning yet natural shots that we envisioned while making sure we were comfortable and having the absolute best time.

I aspire to deliver perfectly imperfect images that will be treasured forever. My style is documentary & candid. While I do enjoy posed moments, I believe your family's love shines through best when you are being yourselves. This means you don't have to worry about kids being on their best behavior - I am a professional toddler wrangler & believe the crazy moments create the best pictures. You don't have to be a professional model to have a fun session that comes with gorgeous imagery. You, your partner, & your family only need to be yourselves, and with some direction from me, I promise you will receive your new favorite pictures.

I am beyond grateful for the incredible experience working with Bailey! Even as someone who isn’t personally comfortable in front of the camera, she made me feel completely at ease with her warmth, kindness, and professionalism. Not only is she fabulous behind the camera in capturing moments with such artistry, but she also brings a sense of joy and positivity to every session. Her uplifting energy made the entire process fun and relaxed, and the results make me smile so much to see the love she’s captured between my husband and I. Every photo is a beautiful testament to her talent, and I will always treasure the memories she has helped create. I truly can't recommend her enough—if you're looking for someone who’s not just skilled, but genuinely kind and wonderful to work with, she's the one!

We could not have been happier with the services and product we received! We picked Nora as our photographer as it seemed like she was great at using natural lighting and did a good job with capturing photos that weren’t posed. We were not disappointed! Nora made the process as easy as humanly possible and very comfortable. She was able to read us easily and could tell when the group was getting restless and even could tell if I wanted certain photos without me saying. Nora was the only photographer but managed to capture all the photos we could have hoped for. The ceremony photos were beautiful but the reception photos perfectly captured the night. The quality of the photos when we got them was spectacular. Additionally, the entirety of the photos were sent to us within just over 4 weeks despite the fact that they had 8 weeks. Lastly, we booked the DJ through essence as well (spinning’ discs) and Nora and the dj worked together great which made it that much easier. If you’re considering essence, do it - you will not regret!

I'm Melissa (she/her) and I'm so glad you're here. I've been photographing couples in love since 2019 and it's truly an honor to capture your love during one of the most important times of your life. One of my favorite memories in childhood was sneaking away with my sister and looking through old photo albums, especially our parent's wedding album. Providing those happy and emotional memories for my clients is one of my favorite parts of wedding photography. I pride myself on offering my couples a creative, high-touch, seamless wedding photography experience from start to finish. I look forward to meeting you and your partner!

When my husband and I started planning our wedding, having beautiful photos was at the very top of both of our lists. For us, a photographer came before all other vendors, and we both agreed it was simply not an area in which we’d cut corners. When I cam across Melissa’s photos, I immediately knew she was obviously the style and vibe we were going for. Within a matter of seconds, I was blown away by the amount of details her pictures had, and within a matter of minutes, I was sending her a message praying to the heavens above that she was available for our date. I could not recommend Melissa enough. Her photos are absolutely stunning - they speak for themselves. But what you can’t see by scrolling through her galleries or social media pages, is the absolute GEM behind the camera. Melissa is professional, fun, energetic, happy - and she brings that energy with her through every single click of her shutter. She was so good at guiding and directing us throughout all our photos — and you’re hearing this from a couple who is extremely awkward posing for pictures! She made us feel beyond comfortable — confident! She even made a super impression on our families and wedding party. They all made a point to tell me how much they enjoyed her throughout the day! We had so much fun with her and she captured us and our wedding day absolutely perfectly. Melissa goes above and beyond and truly listens to what her couples want out of their pictures. She managed to get every single picture I could have ever hoped for— and then some! We absolutely love both our engagement and wedding photos, and they will be on display in our home forever. I could not thank her enough. I can guarantee you, you will not be disappointed in hiring Melissa! She was the easiest, and by far the best, vendor we hired! I’d hire her again any day!

We are a photo and cinema team. Our niche is weddings, fashion and quinceaneras. We love what we do and our foundation is Jesus. Without Him we would not be here. We are a destination team as well. We travel the U.S. and abroad.

Words cannot fully express the gratitude we feel for the incredible team behind R&R Productions! From the moment we met them during our engagement shoot, they instantly made us feel at ease, turning what could have been a nerve-wracking experience into something genuinely fun and unforgettable. Their warm personalities, unmatched professionalism, and creative vision were evident right from the start. When it came to our wedding day—the most important day of our lives—they didn’t just capture moments; they captured the very essence of love, joy, and celebration that surrounded us. They didn’t feel like vendors; they felt like family, celebrating alongside us while documenting each precious second. They even covered us in prayer, which meant so much to us. Raphael worked through an injury without us knowing, simply because he didn’t want us to adjust anything for him. That level of dedication and selflessness left us in awe. They don’t just take pictures and record videos; they weave a story from the beginning to the end, preserving the magic and emotions in a way that’s truly extraordinary. And I just don’t even know where to begin with Rasheeda. We met through a Facebook post I replied to—one I initially thought was a scam. Boy, was I wrong! She and I ended up talking that very same day for over an hour, and it felt like we’d known each other forever. From the start, it was never just a business transaction; it felt like family helping to prepare for the big moments in life. Her warmth and genuine care meant everything to us. I don’t know what I did to be so lucky to have crossed paths with this amazing team, but I am forever grateful that we did. I honestly feel like I should keep them on retainer for every milestone in life because I cannot imagine anyone else being able to document such meaningful moments with the care and dedication they do. Choosing them was one of the best decisions we made, and we couldn’t recommend them more highly! Jerome and I are so grateful for the both of you.

Alchemist Studio and Curios was a highlight of our wedding day, and we're so grateful for their professionalism and talent.

We believe there’s nothing in this world more powerful than a good story! Yes, we borrowed that from Game of Thrones (thanks, Tyrion). But hey, it perfectly sums us up—minus the dragons and drama. We craft unforgettable wedding films that turn your love story into pure cinematic magic!

We were so lucky to work with Kurt, Stephen and Riane from KL Media for photo and video on our day! We were so pleased with the teams professionalism, punctuality and friendliness, fully adhering to our shot list while allowing us to be ourselves. We were so excited to receive our teaser video and photos so quickly after the wedding and our full video and assets just a month later! They sent us an amazing keepsake box to store our personalized USB and we're so looking forward to the photo book they're developing for us. An amazing value for quality photo and video assets and an incredible photo/video team.
