Chrys is THE BEST of the best!!! I cannot sing her praises enough. Not only is she the sweetest person, she is professional and fun!! Chrys made me feel like an absolute goddess on my wedding day. Chrys came highly recommended from a friend and I couldn’t be more grateful for that recommendation. Chrys and her team had their hands full with 18 ladies for hair, 16 for make up and my bridal hair and make up. They were finished ahead of schedule and absolutely rocked every single head of hair and face of make up. I have a few people close to me who are not fans of getting their make up done and they couldn’t have been happier with the results. Everyone’s make up looked flawless and everyone’s hair absolutely stunning. Book Chrys and her team for every event you have!!! You will not be disappointed !!

I never had hair extensions but let's just say, she knows what she's talking about as well as what she's doing! Talk about trusting the process. My hair came out beautifully - just how I envisioned and it held all day into the night given the hair products she used for myself and my bridal party!

Whether you're envisioning a fresh, dewy glow or a more polished glam, I tailor every look to align with your vision and bring out your best. Let’s make some magic!

Awarded Best of Zola
I’ve never felt more beautiful than I did when Nicole did my wedding makeup. I found her on TikTok and was drawn to her modern approach to the face. I feel like a lot of wedding makeup artists have dated foundation / contour / blush / eye look approaches while Nicole’s looked like she could’ve been doing a celebrity's. All of the work on her page was so fresh, and I was not disappointed with how that reflected on me. I would genuinely hire her again and again for her prep and technique, how she brought my inspo pics to life, as well as how well she addressed the feedback I had from my trial. She also made my sisters and mom feel special and beautiful, I’ve never seen them so confident. People were floored by how good we looked and all credit goes to Nicole. 12/10. But additionally….Nicole is COOL. She is the perfect amount of interesting, conversational, and funny and I was looking forward to even just hanging out with her again on my wedding day. She’s professional, courteous, helpful, kind…I could go on. Hire Nicole I am positive you won’t regret it.

Hi! I’m Shauna — but you can call me Shay. I’m the photographer behind Milestone. What started as a side business in 2015 became my full-time dream in 2022, and I thank God daily that I get to serve amazing couples through my work. I met my husband at 15 and we’ve been together ever since, so love stories have always meant a lot to me. As a wife and mom of two adventurous boys, I know how meaningful life’s biggest milestones are. My goal is to give every couple a relaxed, fun experience and a gallery of memories you’ll treasure for a lifetime.

I first saw Shay’s incredible work at my best friend’s wedding and knew I had to book her. After a really disappointing photo experience during my engagement, finding the right photographer was my biggest "pain point" and my top priority. I was so nervous, but Shay did SO good. From the moment she arrived, she was a genuine, supportive presence who made me feel effortlessly beautiful the whole day. She isn’t just talented behind the lens; she is incredibly sweet and kind, which made a world of difference for my confidence. Beyond the photos, she was a total pro to work with. She recommended several of my other vendors and collaborated seamlessly with everyone on our team. If I could hire her 100 times over, I would in a heartbeat. If you want a photographer who truly cares about how you feel as much as how you look, book Shay immediately!

I enjoy doing both because I love the thrill of operating a camera and I love people and stories! I have shot almost 400 weddings and I edit everything myself. In my spare time I love swimming, hiking, skiing, traveling with my family, writing and learning all kinds of stuff. I’m very curious about the world!

Awarded Best of Zola
Fen was wonderful to work with for out wedding on October 8th, 2023! From the very first virtual meeting all the way through the big day itself, she was so friendly and professional! On the day of our wedding she coordinated with our photographer to get video capturing the entire day from start to finish, sometimes from the same angles as our photographer and at other times different angles or multiple angles all at once! We opted to receive both the full-length format video as well as the short highlight summary, and they are both fantastic! From the drone shots of the venue in the introduction, to the wonderful B-roll video clips in the transitions, and overlaid music at times where it made sense, the videos we received are just so wonderfully put together and capture the events of the day perfectly! The highlight video struck a great balance of events throughout the day and was great to be able to post to our socials. We asked for a small change to the highlight video, and Fen was more than accommodating and had an updated version sent back out to us very quickly. And when we received and watched the full 3 hour edit, we felt transported right back to that day and like were able to completely re-live it. We are so happy with our choice to work with Fen, and overjoyed to have this special record of our big day for the rest of our lives. Overall we cannot say enough good things about Fen and her work, and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a videographer!

My fiancé and I took our engagement photos at Resorts Casino and we had the best experience! We chose Resorts specifically for the nostalgic charm that the casino and grounds offer. Nancy, the events manager, kindly tended to all of our questions and needs before and during the shoot. She made sure we were escorted by security as she guided us to all the best spots around the casino and the rest of the building to take photos. She walked us through a beautiful ballroom to get to the balcony with an amazing view of the boardwalk and the famous Resorts sign to get incredible pictures. Lastly we were able to shoot in the lovely classic theater that we didn't even know existed and was perfect for the theme of our photos. There are a variety of options to choose from whether you're planing a wedding, engagement party, bridal shower, bachelorette party (which we saw while stayed there) or just taking photos like us.

Cascade Queens is the perfect florist if you’re looking into using wooden faux flowers! Dana was absolutely amazing to work with. I appreciated how she was so organized, informative, and genuinely helpful throughout the entire process. She regularly kept me updated on different promotions to help us stay within budget, which I really appreciated. One of the coolest parts of this experience was being able to choose my own color scheme and she designed the flowers exactly how I envisioned them. I highly recommend checking out their reference photos on Instagram or Facebook, because it really helped me get a sense of the floral styles I liked. Dana also worked with me to match everything to my color palette, offering great suggestions along the way. On my wedding day, she came in while we were getting ready and set everything up beautifully. She even sent me photos during setup to confirm I liked the placement. The floral displays on the tables were gorgeous, and the pergola she decorated turned out stunning! She also shared helpful tips on how to re-use the ceremony florals for the cocktail hour and reception tables/decor, which saved us on cost and over-ordering. At the end of the night, Dana came back to retrieve the larger pieces and centerpieces, but we got to keep our beautiful bouquets and boutonnieres. I highly recommend Cascade queens for your floral needs, Dana is amazing and I’m going to keep my beautiful florals forever!

I'm Kaitlin Noel—a wife to Michael, mother to Nicholas and Ryan, and dog mom to our French Bulldog, Ellie. I’m a passionate photographer, traveler, and incurable romantic. When I’m not shooting weddings around the globe, you’ll find me in Cape May, shopping at my favorite local spots with a coffee in hand or walking on the beach. Family is everything to me and my clients are an extension of that. I could eat tacos daily, adore martinis, and decorate my home with a coastal chic inspiration. As an international photographer, I have the pleasure of traveling and experiencing new coastal towns and culters which brings me so much joy!

From the minute we spoke with Kaitlin on the phone, we knew we needed her to be a part of our special day and wedding planning journey. She made us feel like we mattered and that we weren't just another business transaction for her. Kaitlin's communication style was open and honest. She is very organized and prepared, as she sends planning documents for the couple to work on along the way. Her open communication and responsiveness to any and all of our questions made us feel so relaxed and at ease. Her work is detail-oriented and timeless, and she truly valued us as part of the KNC family, not just her customers. Kaitlin's energy is unmatched, and she made the entire bridal party so comfortable and relaxed on our wedding day. She made everything effortless and easy, as if we had done this all before, even though it was our first time. We instantly connected with Kaitlin during our engagement shoot, and she is simply the best wedding photographer we could have asked for. We are so grateful for her!

I was referred to Keyta, and her team about 6 months before my wedding. From our very first conversation, I immediately trusted her with helping my husband and I make sure the day flowed seamlessly. She was there from the very beginning, to the very end. She even made sure my husband and I had a dinner plate at our table!! That was special. The flower wall she provided was absolutely beautiful for my event, and matched my theme perfectly.. She took valuable time to call me during non business hours which I appreciated so much! She was calm, cool and collective. It really helped my stress level to have her coordinate our wedding. She answered all and every question I had during the process . When I walked in the room initially I was in tears for how well they put everything together considering it was a total DIY wedding. Keyta was also very flexible as well. The most important part was the kindness she showed throughout the entire process. I greatly appreciate her and her team for helping to create one of the best days of my life. It was such a magical day thanks to Keyta and her team. I would highly recommend her services for any event!

If you’re looking for videographer for your special day /event your search stops here! KB video is hands down the best. The owners are down to earth & super accommodating for all your special requests. KB re-edited our wedding video from 2021. Unfortunately , the video/ edit my husband and I received from the original company that we hired was unsatisfactory. I’ve had the raw-footage for years hoping to find a company I can trust in! KB video was willing to work with us knowing the unfortunate circumstances of our previous videos, and just wanted us happy! KB video took their time and were patient with us, for all our requests down to every detail! I will be using the company now moving forward in my future . They did an outstanding job & brought tears to our eyes! They made the perfect highlight of our big day , capturing beautiful memories we will forever have to look back on.

Porta was an absolute dream to work with for our Halloween wedding! Their communication was always quick, clear, and timely, which was so helpful during the busy planning process. The team went above and beyond to accommodate our guests' dietary restrictions and made the set up and clean up process a breeze. The handle everything from florals, cake and decor. The quality of their work was truly magical - the space they transformed for our big day was dramatic and fun, setting the perfect mood for our spooky celebration.
