From our very first meeting with Rayleen to discuss what we wanted out of our wedding photos and engagement session, we knew we were in the right hands. She was bubbly, asked the right questions, giving us the feeling that she genuinely wanted to get to know us, and attentive to detail. These characteristics show through her work and we will treasure these photos for the rest of our lives. I also want to add that if you feel semi awkward having photos taken of you like I do, have no fear with Rayleen! I so appreciated that she would gently move me into a position that was the most flattering for me and made me feel so confident. Our photos came out so incredibly beautiful and we will be booking with Rayleen for any and all future events for photography.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot thank The Stately Rose enough for the amazing work they did on my wedding day! From the very beginning, they were such a pleasure to work with. I felt very outside my comfort zone in knowing what kind of look I wanted and they were so helpful in narrowing down the style I liked and helped me in deciding between traditional or airbrush makeup. While I was nervous going into it, they consistently put me at ease. On the big day, they did an absolutely stunning job for me, my bridesmaids, my mom, and my mother-in-law. Janelle is truly the best at updos and I got so many compliments throughout the day on the glam look Lexus gave me. I felt so beautiful, and I know the other women did too! We didn’t have a lot of space to work with, but they handled it like pros, adapting to our surroundings without skipping a beat. Their professionalism and positive attitude really helped set the tone for a relaxed and enjoyable morning. Thank you so much, The Stately Rose, for making us all look and feel our best on such a special day! I would recommend them to anyone looking for a talented, kind, and dependable team for their wedding.

Just absolutely outstanding, every step of the way. We hired Ariana and her company to play music for our entire wedding (ceremony & reception). A string quartet and drummer. Wouldn't hesitate to hire them again. Our guests were both surprised and filled with wonder at how the music fit seamlessly with the wedding: that's the beauty of the art and the professionalism that that Ariana String Groups brings. Ariana's group learned a new song especially for me, and it meant so much for me to hear it at the wedding (Both Sides Now, by Joni Mitchell). One of the incredible things about Ariana and her company is that they aren't just about the music: they help you every step of the way. We needed help and advice on many "things wedding" and Ariana not only helped us make decisions, but she and her team stepped up and coordinated when we needed help. Music is extremely important in my life, but I had some very specific requirements for the wedding because of my own needs. Ariana never hesitated - she was a true partner. It was a blessing to not have to worry about something I needed to go right. Fabulous.

I am beyond happy that we chose to have Ben as our videographer at our wedding. We hired Ben before the pandemic hit and then had to make the difficult to decisions to push our wedding back...multiple times. Throughout all the various postponements and rescheduling, Ben was unbelievably supportive, kind, and understanding. In our communication, he was empathetic and considerate, making us feel truly valued and cared for. When we were finally able to get married, Ben was fantastic. He managed to capture all of the beautiful moments of the wedding that we might have otherwise missed, and his footage really captured the energy and personality of us as a couple. He sent along the footage in a timely manner, again with thoughtful communication. He also made a beautiful highlight video that felt like he really knew us and understood what mattered to us. Overall, Ben went above and beyond in his kindness and communication. He is a person you want with you in the planning process, on your wedding day, and afterwards!! We are so happy to have worked with such a wonderful, thoughtful person!

We're Ashley and James, nature—inspired storytellers and creative partners who are here to capture your most precious moments. As a husband-and-wife team, we understand the importance of connection. We take the time to get to know you so that your wedding film reflects your unique journey together. We’re drawn to the beauty of those candid moments—the joyful smiles, heartfelt tears, and loving embraces—and we transform them into cinematic treasures that you and your loved ones will cherish for generations.

Treefilms is a stellar photography and videography company! After our venue, they were the second vendor we booked as photography and videography was very important to us. Ashley was responsive and kind from the beginning! She was open to our ideas in regard to location and then made it look even better in the photo video! We felt so comfortable during that shoot and at our wedding in front of the camera with them. They gave us enough direction that it was easy to know what to do, but did not result in stiff or overly posed pictures. The candid shots that they captured throughout the wedding day are photos we will cherish; they were able to capture all the emotions so perfectly. The team worked seamlessly with all the other vendors, they truly know what they’re doing! (Shoutout to Ashley for doing up the buttons on my dress!) Our wedding video is a work of art, I don’t think it’s comparable to the standard videos produced by other vendors. Treefilms is the vendor we recommend most to friends and family, and we look forward to working with them again in the future!

It was so wonderful working with Rachel for florals for our wedding in July of 2024. My now-husband and I are originally from New England, but live in California now, so a lot of the planning was done over email. Rachel was super responsive to everything. I told her that I wanted “sunflowers, but not in a boho way”, and she was fully game to take on the challenge- and she for sure delivered! She designed exactly what I had in my head and made it even more beautiful than I could have imagined, and checked in with me every step of the way. I also appreciate that she has rentals for the “hardware” part of florals- because who just has a wedding arch and dozens of vases laying around? The flowers arrived on the day-of looking fresh and bright, and she even took a few of the extra flowers she had left over to scatter around on our guest book table. The clean up was quick and easy, and again she took care of all of the rental materials. We are so lucky that we found her!

Julia is such a joy to work with—fun, easygoing, and full of the best energy. She instantly put us at ease and had us laughing the whole time, which brought out our most natural smiles.

Shukhrat and his wife Rachel just shot our June 8th wedding and we couldn't be happier. They were amazing to work with and the photos are phenomenal! About the pictures: Shukhrat is versatile and very skilled. When we took our engagement photos he provided us with various styles of photos and editing, and then used our feedback to guide the photos he took at our wedding. He is also flexible. We got married in a city park and there were wayyyy more people in the park than we were expecting at 6:00pm at night. Without missing any of the candid details or true-to-life colors that we wanted, Shukhrat was able to frame the photos and/or alter the lighting so that the park goers were barely visible in the background. Both Shukhrat and Rachel are also very skilled at giving direction when needed, but letting you do your own thing the rest of the time. Neither my husband nor I have a lot of experience in front of a camera—they gave us enough direction to feel confident, without making us feel stifled or overly posed. We wanted photos that felt organic and genuine, and they were really able to capture that. Working with Shukhrat and Rachel: The two of them were a dream to work with. Incredibly professional--very communicative, punctual, quick turnaround time on photos. And they are also just lovely people. You spend so much time on your wedding day with your photographers, it's really important to feel comfortable with them, and we certainly did. They brought both a fun, but calming energy, easing our pre-wedding jitters before the ceremony, and leaning into the excitement as the night went on. Although we hardly know them, they felt like friends. We are so glad we booked Shukhrat for our wedding!

A couple of years ago one of my high school friends got married and I loved her photos on Facebook. Fast forward to 2015 as my fiancee and I were looking for a wedding photographer I remembered Melanie's photos of my friend. I spoke with my friend and she highly recommended Melanie. We met with Melanie and clicked instantly. She helped us plan a beautiful engagement session and our wedding. The entire day went perfectly and Melanie captured every moment. My husband said to me as we were looking through the gallery, "these photos are postcard perfect!" I would have to agree with him and love that we will have these photos to always remember the day. Since our wedding we have recommended Melanie to other friends who are getting married and they have said that Melanie and Brian were the best vendor that they worked with for the wedding!
