Every couple wants to feel seen and they absolutely made us feel that way. They asked questions about our relationship and that showed in the shots they chose. The photos reflect our humor and tenderness, not just pretty faces. The video includes a montage of candid laughter that always makes me laugh again. The team was so patient with the kids and older guests, which kept everyone feeling comfortable. They delivered a cinematic trailer that we shared with friends who couldn’t attend and it was a hit. The gallery interface made gifting images to relatives simple. I loved the balance of posed couple shots and documentary-style candids. They also suggested a few creative locations at the venue that made for stunning backdrops. Very grateful for their attentive approach.

Because of Loulu Palm Farms, Nickie and Ashley I able to plan and my husband and I were able to host and give our daughter her dream wedding. The day was even more magical then any of us could have imagined! The day would not have been possible without the beauty of Loulu Palm Farms , Nickie and Ashley. Their patience and guidance were invaluable in planning every step of the way, all while I was here in Michigan and the bride in Australia. Both Nickie and Ashley bring a calming presence (which as the mother of the bride I always needed) making the planning and the day of the wedding perfect and fun! They were always quick to get back with me on every little question big or small or any changes. From the very moment we started working together both myself and my daughter felt they genuinely cared about making everything perfect! Ashley went above and beyond on several occasions. The day before the wedding she saved the groom because of some cufflinks missing! On the day of the wedding my daughters bustle did not hold up and she was right there with safety pins, calmly and expertly fixing it without missing a beat. As a matter of fact, I did not know until after the fact that this even happened. Throughout the entire wedding I was able to have an amazing time as well as my daughter because we knew Ashley had everything handled! More guests than I can count kept coming up to my husband and I and the bride and groom telling us again and again that it was the most beautiful and fun wedding they had ever attended! Do not hesitate for a moment if you want the most beautiful venue and the best wedding planner book Loulu Farms with Nickie and the best coordinator ever, Ashley!

We got married at Sunset Ranch in September 2025, and it was everything we dreamed of and more. The setting is absolutely breathtaking, surrounded by lush greenery, sweeping views, and a peaceful, romantic atmosphere. Every part of the property felt intentional and special, from the ceremony at Fern’s Garden to cocktail hour at Sunset Vista and the reception at Charlie’s Pond. What truly made our experience unforgettable was the incredible team behind it all. Ronda and the entire Sunset Ranch Ohana were amazing to work with. They were kind, organized, and so genuine in making sure everything went smoothly. We felt supported throughout the entire planning process and on the wedding day itself, which allowed us to be fully present and enjoy every moment. Our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful and seamless everything was. It was the perfect mix of natural beauty and thoughtful coordination.

Jen did my hair and makeup for my Indian/traditional wedding and I could not have been happier. I was very stressed about my wedding because I did not know what to expect and it was very large being an Indian wedding. I also was changing from a traditional Indian dress to a white wedding dress during the reception and I wanted my hair to change as well. Jen stayed as a guest for the wedding and helped me redue my hair for the new dress as well as change which was not easy at my venue.

I got involved with the University radio station (90.1 FM), started doing live events, and really loved showing off my rare music finds. Nothing beats the feeling of rocking a live crowd for track after track, especially after the long pause in events! DJing is all I do for "work", and I love it! Each wedding or event I play is full of different people and different ages from all over the world, and they all have differing tastes in music- blending so many different genres and styles of music is such a fun challenge!

DJ Roman Candles was excellent! He pulled off a set that was beyond our wildest dreams. We had a brief phone meeting a week before the wedding about how we wanted the vibe to be and he pulled it off perfectly. Us and our guests were blown away by his performance. After the wedding, all of our guests were raving how awesome he was! He blended all of our requested genres. The transitions between genres and between songs were spot on! He had all of our guests up and dancing. Our wedding coordinator said he was very easy to work and communicate with. He was very organized and had all the equipment we needed. He also took care of the emcee duties and did an awesome job! He had an app we could use to upload all of our song requests. We found it very useful for organizing the songs we wanted played at each part of the night. He totally killed it and we could not imagine anyone doing better. 10/10. We can’t stop watching videos of how fun the night went! Totally recommend DJ Roman Candles for your wedding or any other events!!!

My name is Mari, and I'm so thankful for many aspects of my life, including traveling the world. Photography and traveling are the two pillars that allow me to express my creativity. My couples enjoy curated experiences and thrive on exploring exotic landscapes to create memorable organic moments. I enjoy a multi-layered approach that infuses editorial touches and fine-art styles while still highlighting the candid, authentic moments of your celebration. My pursuit of impeccable details pushes me to continually evolve my vision while reminding me of the importance of carrying my camera with humor, compassion, and curiosity.

We were left in TEARS! Each photograph captured the essence of our day in such a beautiful & authentic way. It was like reliving every moment, every emotion, all over again. Book her now, if looking since she only takes a handful of weddings each year.

Beth was so amazing! She made everything so easy and fun. She is very on top of things and great at communicating so we were able to relax and just enjoy the process. The photos were just gorgeous; it was the first time I've looked at photos of myself and actually liked them. Absolutely would recommend to anyone!

Aloha, I'm Mai, the photographer who will be capturing your day from start to finish. My passion for capturing your special moments is something that I can't get enough of. There's just something so beautiful in telling someone's love story through my lens that is just so magical it has me wanting to do it Every, Single, Second. I consider photography to be an Art of storytelling and I would be honored to be a part of your day. Allow me to capture your love story, so that you can tell it to others.

I came across Mai's profile and after reviewing her website I reached out with many questions. She was very responsive and after a brief call, I loved her energy and decided to go with her. The pre-wedding communication was easy and Mai joined us for our wedding rehearsal at the venue. On the wedding day, we worked with Mai and her second shooter Amy. They were lovely to work with and felt more like ohana than just our photographers. They captured our entire day and were so accommodating. While we anticipated our wedding photos to take some time, Mai shared a few sneak peaks and were blown away. After a few weeks only, we received our entire album and are so grateful and happy with the images. We can't thank Mai and Amy enough and definitely recommend them to anyone.
