Hi! I’m Makayla the heart behind Mama Mak’s Entertainment. I created Boozy Minis because I believe weddings and celebrations should feel personal, fun, and totally unforgettable. My miniature horses and donkeys aren’t just adorable — they’re part of the experience.

Emma Lynne Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
Garden Valley, CA
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500

To me, photography is a medium that requires time, humility, thought, and trust. It is an art that lasts beyond yesterday, today and tomorrow. It captures moments of transition and development; and encourages light and vulnerability. It finds the light even where darkness may dwell. It shows order to chaos. And it celebrates courage, confidence and natural beauty. All that to say the heart behind my images are found where growth and humility meet and form something beautifully authentic. My desire is to capture that and make it last.

LOVE LOVE LOVE our gallery! The best, sweetest, most lovely memories from our wedding. Emma was like having your closest friend there photographing the best part of the day. She got the big stuff but also gave us some beautiful shots of family and friends. I love looking through our album. It brings a big old smile to my face every time! She's incredible! Her work is full of love and joy. 10/10!

Joy Photo and Video was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography and videography needs. They always answered my questions as fast as they could, which put me at ease during the planning process. I loved that I can have access to all the pictures they took, not just the edited ones. The video they put together is amazing - they were able to make it so special in just a few short minutes. The photographer and videographer told us exactly what to do and how to pose, which was so helpful since we didn't know what kind of poses we wanted. The only thing I knew I wanted was some under the veil pictures, and they made sure to get those first. I also loved knowing that if my photographer or videographer were sick that day or something happened, there would be a back-up person there to ensure our day was captured perfectly. Overall, Joy Photo and Video exceeded our expectations and I would highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.

Both Jasmine (makeup) and Kate (hair) were absolutely amazing!! The communication was amazing and they were right on time for both the trial and wedding day. This was a super last minute booking and the way that they were able to accommodate a trial with it being so close is something I was so grateful for. Me and my bridesmaids makeup/hair lasted literally the entire day and I didn’t even need to use the super cute mini makeup kit that Jasmine gave me.

From start to finish, communication was effortless and always on point. He even assisted us with setting up and dialing in the sound system. Now on to the important stuff... Cello Joe's performance bridged the spectrum of family and friends present for our wedding. It was such a magical experience seeing so many loved ones getting down to veggie maniac, bike girl and so much love :). Cello Joe delivered a performance that brought joy and smiles to everyone's experience. Overall I rate our experience 11/11.

Ashley was amazing! Leading up to the wedding, she was super helpful in guiding us through the steps to set up playlists and coordinate the intros/outros of the bridal party. Our wedding was spread out over a large property, and she had zero issue running speakers to each area, providing a festive, cozy atmosphere! We had a couple live performances and she was very accommodating in getting mic stands and cables all ready to go. Then the DANCING began! Lights, speakers, the whole deal - Ashley killed it! We leaned into more 70’s and 80’s music, and Ashley completely understood the assignment. Needless to say, the music mix was brilliant. Since then, we have had at least a dozen of our friends and family tell us that this was the most fun they have ever had at a wedding. I have no doubt that Ashley is 99.99% responsible for that. Hiring Ashley and Fog City Entertainment made a lot of sense 6 months ago, but now, having seen what she can do for a wedding’s atmosphere and dance floor, it’s a no-brainer. Thank you, Ashley!!

Working with Ali was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. We did full planning with her, and from day one she made the entire process feel easier, more organized, and honestly way more fun. Ali is incredibly kind, caring, and just so easy to get along with. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but she brought such a calm and positive energy that made everything feel manageable. Her attention to detail is amazing, especially when it comes to design and timeline. As someone who does not naturally have a strong eye for design or a super type A personality, I relied on her a lot, and she totally delivered. She took our ideas and turned them into something beautiful and cohesive, all while helping us make decisions in a way that felt clear and not stressful. She also took so much off our plate, especially with vendor communication. We were so incredibly with the team of vendors we worked with and it all came from Ali's recommendations and incredible knowledge of the NorCal wedding industry. What really stood out was how much she listened to us. She took the time to understand what actually mattered to us, from budget to priorities for the day, and built everything around that. It all felt very “us,” which we appreciated so much. And on the wedding day, she absolutely crushed it. I did not have to worry about a single thing. If anything came up, she handled it so smoothly that we never even knew. We were able to just be present and enjoy the day. Ali is truly the best, and working with her was beyond worth it. I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat!!

Anne Roos was a fantastic live music addition to our wedding in early April. She had worked with our coordinator in the past, making it a seamless integration into the wedding program. We loved the deep library of music that she offered; we found songs that fit every moment for our ceremony and the cocktail hour. The music added a classy touch to our ceremony and the guests loved the movie themes and show tunes! We had our wedding just after in the last major snowfall in North Lake and she was able to accommodate that the changing weather without any disruption to the program. We would highly recommend Anne for anyone looking for a Classical harpist in the Tahoe region.

Hey, I'm so glad you're here! My name is Heather and I live in beautiful Foresthill, CA. I love any and all hard seltzers, my Great Dane Fritz, and using my camera to capture all the feels. About my business? Well I'm basically a professional wedding crasher, so you know you will always have fun with me! Oh and I've pretty much cried at every wedding I've ever been to...and yours is no exception. Let's be friends!

You can't go wrong with Heather. She and her team handled our engagement photos and shot our wedding. Both sets of pictures are incredible! She captured amazing moments of our wedding--and they match our memories perfectly. Heather's photos are stunning, but also feel authentic. Beyond her photography and editing abilities, she made us feel very comfortable. My wife and I aren't used to professional photoshoots (we are humble folk), so having someone so kind and down-to-earth made those experiences fun. Heather felt like someone we'd want to have at our wedding anyway! Hire her, have fun, and frame those prints.

Teddy made it super easy and great to work with him and ask him what we were hoping to get captured on our wedding day. He was communicative, on time, and open to going with the flow as changes came up with our itinerary due to unexpected rain. We got married at our church, took pictures at a nearby garden, and then we traveled 30 minutes to the reception. We definitely recommend him and hope others can have the great experience we had with him!

10 Stars across the board for Judi and To Have & To Hold Wedding Planning!!!!! Our wedding at Orchard Creek Lodge on August 16, 2025, was absolutely perfect — and we owe so much of that to Judi and the incredible team at To Have and To Hold Wedding Planning. From the very beginning, Judi was a dream to work with. She was endlessly patient, incredibly sweet, and always made us feel like our vision truly mattered. Throughout the entire planning process, Judi guided us with such grace and calm, even when we were overwhelmed with decisions. Her eye for detail is unmatched — every flower, every table setting, and every timeline detail was flawless. She anticipated things we never would have thought of and made sure the day ran seamlessly from start to finish. One of the highlights of our planning journey was our monthly check-in calls with Judi. My husband and I genuinely looked forward to them every time! She made each meeting fun, organized, and reassuring — turning what could have been a stressful process into something we actually enjoyed. What stood out most was how genuinely caring and kind Judi was. She went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, happy, and stress-free. We truly felt supported every step of the way, and it’s clear that she pours her heart into what she does. Our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more, and we couldn’t have done it without her. Judi will always hold a special place in our hearts — she is the wedding planner every bride and groom deserves! Thank you, Judi, for making our special day unforgettable! The Fergusons

Nicky Byrnes Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Garden Valley, CA

I’ve had a camera in my hand since I can remember. On family vacations each of us had a camera and would come back with several rolls of film. It was great to see different perspectives of the same place. My photos became more refined throughout my childhood as I graduated to my stepdad’s Minolta film SLR. In college I dedicated myself to photography professionally with a degree in photojournalism, then found my calling with a wedding studio at 19.

Nicky is the best! Everything was so easy. She was so relatable and fun! Since we were eloping, the pictures were even more important since that's all our family and fiends could see. Everyone has told us our wedding photos were the best they have ever seen!

Dana Gualco Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,995
  • Serves Garden Valley, CA

I am Dana Gualco, a natural light and golden hour photographer based in Roseville, CA, serving the Sacramento area and beyond. My passion for photography is rooted in the belief that everyone has a unique story to tell, and I am dedicated to capturing yours with authenticity. Specializing in weddings, engagements, and portraits, I focus on the meaningful details that you will cherish for a lifetime. My goal is to provide high-resolution, timeless images that reflect the raw emotion and beauty of your celebration, turning your fleeting milestones into priceless heirlooms.

Hiring Dana was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She has been our photographer since 2017, back when we were just dating. Since then, she has captured every major milestone in our lives: our proposal, engagement photos, wedding day, pregnancy announcements, newborn sessions for both of our boys, and our family photos every single year since. The fact that we continue to call her year after year says everything about how much we trust her and love her work. On our wedding day specifically, she was calm, organized, and somehow everywhere at once without ever feeling intrusive. She made us feel completely comfortable and confident, and she truly has a gift for capturing genuine emotion. Our photos are timeless, beautiful, and still some of our most treasured possessions. Dana is not only incredibly talented, she is kind, warm, and genuinely passionate about what she does. She wants you to feel beautiful and at ease, and she makes the entire experience fun instead of stressful. If you are looking for someone who will capture your wedding day flawlessly and then be the photographer you continue to call for every milestone after that, she is it. We cannot recommend her enough.
