Oh where to even start. If you’re engaged and looking for the best wedding planner on the planet, you’ve found her. Carina is by far the most amazing choice we made for our wedding. I don’t know how we would have even planned our wedding without her. Carina is so so talented. She always had everything handled and I didn’t have to worry about a thing! Any time I was stressed or had a question about what we needed to do, she would have already had it done and been three steps ahead. Our meetings honestly felt like going out to lunch with a close friend. I could always count on her to have everything handled and to be there if I needed anything at all. I gained a life long friend and I couldn’t be happier!! Thank you so much Carina for making our day magical and perfectly curating my vision for my fairytail wedding.

Hi, I’m Rebecca—the heart and eye behind the lens. I’m a wedding photographer drawn to the quiet, in-between moments—the ones that often go unnoticed but mean everything. The soft glances, the gentle laughter, the way your hands find each other without thinking. Those are the moments that tell your story honestly. With a refined, minimal approach, I focus on creating imagery that feels effortless and timeless. My goal isn’t just to document how your day looked, but to preserve how it felt. The emotions, the connection, the intimacy that makes your love uniquely yours.

Awarded Best of Zola
Rebecca is absolutely incredible and we couldn’t recommend her enough! My wedding is March of 2025 but so far she has captured our engagement session and also my boudoir session for my grooms wedding gift! I have never experienced such an amazing, friendly, and talented photographer and we are so glad Rebecca gets to capture our big day in a few short months. Each session she makes you feel so comfortable and this makes the process feel so natural allowing the best results. Rebecca also captured my family members wedding and I was present for this occasion she genuinely is such a comforting and bright light to everyone she encounters. Rebecca always is so quick about sneak peaks of your gallery which I truly enjoy and her work is unmatched!

Marlon and his team are awesome! Start to finish everything was great. He does all the things you expect out of a videographer at baseline (setting up timelines with you, finding good shots beforehand at the venue, making you feel comfortable), and excels at the things you want him to. Always out of the way but somehow managed to get the perfect videos and angles. Pulling you out only at the perfect moments when there are lulls, or when he has an insane golden hour shot to take (the one of my wife and I running through a field is one of the highlights of our wedding video). I would definitely recommend Marlon, even to people who haven't decided on a wedding video, because when you receive it, or you look through his catalog of wedding videos, it captures the day in ways the pictures just couldn't, especially for us. 10/10 Highly Recommend

My guests were thrilled to dance and DJ Kash had the dance floor jumping! Music has this incredible ability to bring people together and connect on the dance floor with passion, positivity, & good vibes.

Matt is my brother and my husband and I chose him to officiate our wedding, not only because he is family, but because we wanted it to feel more personal rather than a generic wedding ceremony speech from the officiant. I always knew my brother was good with words and could speak in front of a crowd, but he truly exceeded our expectations to give us the most memorable ceremony we could have asked for. His speech was the perfect mix of lighthearted jokes, love, personal stories from our relationship, and information and feelings from my husband and I. He truly captured the essence of love and what it means to commit yourself to someone else for the rest of your life. Our guests still cannot stop talking about how great Matt was, even 6 months after the wedding! If you are looking for a wedding officiant to personalize your ceremony, make you and your guests laugh, and make the whole room feel the love between you and your partner, I truly recommend Matt for your special day!!

Whether your dream wedding is an intimate gathering or a grand affair, Sarah will help bring your vision to life.

I am writing this review about Sarah. First of all, she was so great at being responsive which right off the bat was a big deal for me. Planning a wedding is stressful but during our first initial meet through Zoom I was immediately put at ease. Second, booking her was extremely easy and fairly priced. Thirdly, she was on time and I balled my eyes out walking down the aisle to beauty and the beast. I've never heard the harp in person and it was an experience I will never forget. She made my event elegant and elevated in all the right ways. If I ever have an excuse to bring Sarah back to another event, I WILL and will recommend her to anyone looking for calm, beautiful music for any event. Thank you thank you thank you Sarah!

I'm a detail oriented person and had a very clear vision for my day, so while I knew I could handle booking vendors and designing the event, I needed someone to help me execute and keep me stress free on the big day. Raven did all that and more. She has excellent systems in place to make sure she knows every detail before your wedding day. She helped me catch things I'd forgotten and make final decisions where someone experienced planning weddings was so helpful. On the day of our wedding I had zero doubts Raven knew how I wanted our event to look and feel and she executed to a T.
