Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)

“I wish I’d spoke up on being self conscious about my butt, and I didn’t so I have some pictures I probably won’t be sharing, but the pictures we have are pretty, she got everything I wanted during our ceremony, I just wish I had gotten some pictures with my bridesmaids and me in my wedding dress. The ball got dropped on that. Other than that I’m happy with my ceremony pictures, and some of the pictures where I’m facing away from the camera I’m not a huge fan of. My husband loves them though, so that’s good. There was some miscommunication on editing and what not, but over all we got some really good photos.”

Cassidy O Photos

Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)

“Cassidy shot both my engagement photos in New Orleans and my micro wedding in Las Vegas back in 2021 and she blew us away with her work. She was so comfortable to work with, especially for a couple of dorks not used to being in front of the camera, and she made sure we had fun with our shoots and got the shots we wanted. Her style fits our aesthetic so perfectly and I LOVE showing off the photos she’s done for us any chance I get. I’ve even had friends tell me they have shown off my wedding photos to strangers and colleagues to brag about how cool my wedding was and how gorgeous my photos turned out. Cassidy is extremely professional, prompt, kind, courteous, and has a great eye and a really unique creative vision. I can’t wait to see what she does in the future and I can’t wait to book her again for our next couples shoot!”

Hailing from New Orleans, LA, and now based out of South Orange County, CA, I fell in love with photography long ago. I officially launched my wedding & elopement photography business in 2021. After graduating in the middle of a worldwide pandemic, I found myself having the time to further fall in love with photography, getting the chance to photograph more and more - so much so that I was able to start my own business in a rather unexpected way. Now able to travel the world with my camera in tow, I am beyond grateful for this passion turned career, & I feel so blessed every time my finger presses down on my camera shutter.

Lynne's attention to detail and creative eye resulted in florals that were not only beautiful, but also an incredible value.

“Working with Roxana from The Watering Can Floral Design was so easy and such a pleasure. I needed a floral arrangement for a big important event my business was invovled in. I was unsure of what I wanted, I just knew it had to be beautiful. Roxana listened to my ideas and requirements and intuitively knew just what to do.

949 Studio (DJ)

“949 Studio met and exceeded my expectations for the wedding day! Our DJ Mike was considerate of our wants and met with us a few times before the wedding day to ensure everything was nailed down. He double-checked our chosen songs and made suggestions if he thought one of them wouldn't work. He really brought the party to the wedding day! Our MC Matt was top-notch. He made sure that he had everyone's names correct, that our timeline was on schedule, and was able to work on his feet when something didn't happen exactly in the timeline. He was professional and kind and brought the energy to the wedding day! This team was incredible and made our wedding a night we will never forget!! Pictures don't capture just how much fun we had!

Casa Loma Beach Hotel

“We hosted our wedding weekend at Casa Loma Beach Hotel recently, and it exceeded every expectation. With guests flying in from across the country and around the world, we heard nonstop praise about how cozy, elegant, and effortlessly chic the hotel felt (plus the cocktails and cookies were top notch). The staff was incredibly accommodating--helping with porterage, clear communication, and even a few lost-and-found rescues (thank you Amber!). Allene and Elisa were standout stars throughout the weekend helping us host several events at the hotel over three days - and stepping in to address curveballs from vendors and weather. When a once-in-a-blue-moon monsoon forced us to pivot from our planned rooftop events, the Casa Loma team handled the change with grace and creativity, preserving the overall vibe we envisioned. Guests-both locals and out-of-towners-couldn't stop raving about the views and the unbeatable location. Some spent time in the cute nooks and crannies throughout the hotel or relaxed on their balconies with those unmatched ocean views (when the rain finally let up), while others wandered over to Marine Room for late-night drinks thanks to the perfect location. And of course, the food via Sapphire was amazing! We were able to check off all our boxes when it came to cuisine and transport our guests to all ends of the earth with food from the Mediterranean, Malaysia, and South America. The Late Night Bites of sliders, fries and chicken tenders were crowd MVPs at our Afters. Thank you to the entire team for transforming a rained-out wedding weekend into the intimate, romantic wedding of our dreams.”

“From our first conversation with Unju at Fleurs De Mad, we knew we were in good hands. She listened carefully to what we wanted and brought our vision to life in ways we didn't even know were possible. Every single bloom was perfect — there wasn't a wilted petal or stem out of place. What really stood out was how communicative Unju was throughout the whole process, which meant we never had to stress or second-guess anything. Our florals were absolutely stunning and looked even better in person than we imagined. We can't recommend Fleurs De Mad enough.”

My husband and I changed our minds about a hundred times on hotel venue vs small elopement and even went back and forth between several venues. Blaire was never impatient with us and truly wanted us to have the best day. The wedding day itself was perfect. I could not have hoped for a more organized, effortless, and stress-free experience. Throughout the day, Blaire and Sharon checked up on all of our guests and made sure their needs were met. They checked on us and asked if we needed anything, they handled all minor issues flawlessly and kept us informed so we felt none of the stress.

L Rock Entertainment - DJ/MC / Live Music Services - DJ/MCs, Bands, Harpists, Duos, Soloists & more

Rating: 5.0 (71 reviews)

“TLDR: Hiring Modern Highway for our wedding was, hands down, the best decision my wife and I made for our big day. First and foremost, they are all talented, professional, and brought a large repertoire to the table. Christina is a fantastic singer, with big range. She is also a great business person, again with exceptional range - handling our light, acoustic service music, our post-wedding cocktail music, and our reception music. All live - which kicked the sheeet out of a DJ. She also MC’d. For weddings, hitting hitches is bad - there were none. The long version: Our wedding was a Sunday. It was in a more remote area from LA - Temecula. My wife had just been injured in a car accident - so we were a little nervous but the event was still a go with many people flying in. I am a musician and my wife and I had made the decision that live music was what we wanted for our big celebration. In hindsight, my only regret is the Sunday wedding because we hired Modern Highway to do our music and they were on fire. And some guests had to think about…Monday. But Christina and the band really held things together. It was a fun event and a big piece of that was the music. Christina brought a tremendous amount of energy. Her voice is electric and, when it came time to dance, the band brought it. Christina was very active moving through the crowd, dancing and singing. It is so hard to do that well - to be the energy. Where we needed “other” services, for first dances, parent dances, introductions, ceremony, etc., Christina & Modern Highway had it all covered. In a few cases we needed streamed music - covered. We needed someone to make the event go from the mic - covered. In a unique circumstance, my own band wanted to play - covered. If I’d been them, I would have said no. And frankly, based on what I saw from Christina, we could not have had a better person handling the mic that night. My wife and I look back on our wedding day as a true blessing - a day we were ecstatic about on the spot. I know a big piece of our internal satisfaction is knowing the entertainment was top notch. I wish Christina could have been our photographer as well!”

“We got married in November and invited Herbert Zhu to capture our special day. I am so glad I did! From start to finish, Herbert Zhu was professional, responsive, and easy to work with. But what really stood out to me was the quality of the final product. When we received the video, my husband and I were blown away. Herbert managed to capture the essence of our wedding day with a cinematic narrative that was both beautiful and emotional. The color palette was stunning, and the camera language was spot-on. It was obvious that Herbert had put a lot of thought and care into every shot. What I appreciated most about the video was how story-driven it was. It wasn't just a series of shots strung together randomly - it truly felt like a cohesive narrative. Herbert managed to capture all the important moments of the day while also weaving in little details and candid shots that made the video feel personal and intimate. Overall, I would highly recommend Herbert to anyone looking for a wedding videographer. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and talent really shone through in our video, and we will cherish it for years to come. Thank you, Herbert Zhu, for helping us capture our special day in such a beautiful way!”

Our goal for your wedding day is simple: to capture all the genuine, heartfelt moments between you and your loved ones. At the same time, I’ll gently guide you to create stunning scenes where the light, scenery, and you shine perfectly. Capturing your guests’ experiences is the other half of the equation—almost as important as the two of you. When you look back at your gallery, you’ll relive all the amazing moments you might have missed. I’m all about creating timeless photos that will grace your parents’ mantel for the next 40 years. I want to help you preserve those memories and ensure they’re never forgotten.

“Adam was incredibly organized, professional and easy to work with. And he takes absolutely stunning photos! We are so, so pleased with our experience. Thanks Adam!”
