Awarded Best of Zola
Alana was a joy to work with and is such a sweet person. My now-husband and I didn't even finish our consultation call with her and we knew we'd found our photographer. Alana was communicative, prompt, and kind. Any time I had a question, she always answered with great info and a smile. We loved that her pricing was clearly outlined for all the packages and we could pay in installments. Our wedding package included an engagement session, digital galleries with LOTS of photos, and both color and black-and-white versions of each photo. Most importantly: just take a look at her gallery of photos and you can see how she truly is an amazing photographer! I fell in love with her style and art the moment I saw her vendor page. She has an incredible eye for capturing moments, light, and color. Post-wedding, my husband and I have received numerous compliments on our photos and how stunning they are. We cannot recommend Alana Jordan Photography enough. 3

What started out as a hobby, evolved into a great passion. With a camera on hand for every event, I spent my lunch money as a young kid developing films at the photo store. I became so fond of capturing as many organic moments as I can in photographs and fell in love with the idea of telling people's stories in images rather than words. I started venturing into professional photography right after my own wedding to my high school sweetheart, Erick, which was back in 2014. I LOVE everything wedding-related. My favorite to photographs are the wedding details, the bride and groom portraits and anything that will make me either cry or laugh!

Awarded Best of Zola
We are forever grateful we chose Michelle as our wedding day photographer. From the planning to the wedding day she was prepared & made everything so easy. Our engagement photos & wedding photos are perfect and she captured our story just the way we envisioned even including our perfect puppy Maui. She made sure to get all the important shots day of wedding & went above and beyond the entire day making sure my husband and I didn’t don’t forget any important photos. We received our entire wedding gallery so quickly after the wedding. Michelle is beyond professional and truly makes sure your wedding is photographed just the way you want.

I am so, so appreciative of Cat and the team she assigned to my wedding. Cat was so understanding and lovely throughout my process. I'm pretty natural - I'm not terribly into makeup and the girly things in life so getting dolled up for my wedding took some getting used to! Lenee was a total pro with my hair along with my mother, MIL, and three friends. She was so patient and listened to what each of us wanted, and executed perfectly. She was also so lovely during my trial and to have in my suite the morning of the wedding. Amanda was our makeup artist and did she rise to the occasion! She was my third makeup trial and she nailed it. She gave me great advice ahead of time on how my makeup would lay better on my face. I did as she suggested and it really made a difference. We had a few others on the day of who had challenging skin and she also nailed it. She was so much fun to chat with and have around. Both Lenee and Amanda just gave us wonderful, positive, fun energy the morning of so I really could not have asked for a better team. Thank you, Cat, for providing such a nice experience for my wedding day! I will be forever grateful.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I had the most perfect wedding at The Barn and Vineyard in June 2023! I cannot say enough about how helpful the staff was, especially Amy, Joe, and Kyle, leading up to our wedding day. Amy was available to answer all of our questions and had prompt, detailed replies each time. Joe served as our DJ and he made sure our ceremony ran smoothy and he kept our guests having fun on the dance floor all night! Kyle served as our caterer and we are still receiving compliments on our food. He also created delicious food for our rehearsal dinner, pre-wedding snacks, cocktail hour, and late night pizza. The outdoor space in the vineyard was breathtaking and served as the most beautiful backdrop for our ceremony as well as pictures! The indoor space was perfect for our reception. Our guests truly enjoyed the space and complimented how unique it was having indoor space, outdoor space, and an upstairs area for the younger guests to have fun! We also rented the cigar bar as a unique feature, which was a huge hit! The rental of the photo booth was also a hit with our guests all night long. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect day, and most of that is thanks to the venue and their staff! Also, it was wonderful that The Barn and Vineyard is a family owned and run business who takes pride in providing extraordinary care for their clients, plus the option to hire family members as the DJ and chef was so convenient and both are beyond talented at what they do! I would recommend The Barn and Vineyard to any couples looking for a perfect combination of outdoor and indoor space for their wedding! If you want staff who is available to answer your questions, provide you feedback, and wants to make your day perfect, look no further!

I’m Gracelyn, the face behind the camera and someone who truly cares about the people in front of it. I picked up my first camera at 9 years old, photographing my siblings and creating little photoshoots just for fun. After rediscovering photography post-COVID, I instantly felt that same joy and knew this was my dream. I photographed my first wedding two years ago and am now stepping into my first full season. My style is light and airy, blending documentary storytelling with true-to-life portraits, capturing both meaningful details and emotional moments.

Touch of Grace felt more than a professional wedding photographer. She felt like a friend throughout the whole process. We were very comfortable and she was very accommodating in every twist and turn that comes with a wedding. She even stayed extra time to capture our cake cutting! We gave her our images and she was able to quickly navigate between each one efficiently. What makes Touch of Grace so special is the final editing. We were taken back at the marvelous work and attention to detail. Thank you Grace for capturing our special day and giving us everlasting memories!

At Sweet Creations by Tracey LLC, every cake is custom designed for each client. I am very passionate about my love for cake decorating and take great pride they look as beautiful as possible, and make sure they taste even better! I have been decorating cakes since 1991. I love what I do and would love to be a part of your special occasion.

From the gorgeous cake to the incredible dessert bar, everything was a total hit—there wasn’t a crumb left by the end of the night! She was fantastic to work with: responsive, genuine, and clearly talented. Every dessert we tried was delicious, delivery was seamless, and her pricing was very reasonable. Could not recommend Tracey enough!

Sanctuary Events was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, Nancy and Shelly were easy-going, friendly, and amazing to communicate with. They truly listened to our vision and made it come to life in the most magical way. The space was beautiful, with high ceilings and twinkle lights that gave it an extra special ambiance. The food, the decor, everything was exactly what we wanted and more. We couldn't have asked for a better venue to host our special day.
