Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Chrissy, as our Day of Coordinator, and overall, the experience was positive. She was incredibly nice and helpful, especially when it came to managing last-minute details. Chrissy stepped in seamlessly to take over everything I spent a year planning and handling unexpected changes, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. However, one area of improvement would be the level of attention to some of our must-have moments. We would highly suggest requesting a second announcement for the cake cutting, as there was so much cake left over from a 4-tier cake and guests wanted to take some with them. Additionally, we felt that we didn’t get as much exposure or focus as we had hoped compared to other couples, other than a picture of the blank balcony, but Chrissy was still able to help. Despite these minor issues, Chrissy was professional, attentive, spunky, and genuinely committed to making our day special. We appreciate the effort and dedication put into the day of coordinating our wedding, especially since it was in the Panhandle.

I’m Kristen — a wife, mom, coffee lover, and lifelong dreamer who believes the best parts of your wedding day are often the moments you never planned. The nervous laughs, happy tears, the way your partner looks at you, your favorite people dancing, and all the little moments in between — those are the memories I want you to hold onto. You don’t have to know how to pose or worry about being perfect. I’ll guide you when you need it and step back when you just want to enjoy your day. My goal is simple: beautiful, genuine photos that bring you right back to how your wedding day felt.

Kristen and the team at Asimpledreamerco were an absolute joy to work with for our wedding. From our very first interaction, their communication style was easy, caring, and thoughtful. They took the time to truly understand our vision and were willing to work within our budget to bring it to life. On the day of the wedding, Kristen went above and beyond, fixing my dress and making everyone feel so at ease during the portrait session. The final photos are truly special and timeless - we will look back on them for the rest of our lives and always think of how Kristen's talent and motivation made our day so incredibly memorable. We feel so lucky to have found Asimpledreamerco and cannot recommend them highly enough!

We’re a family owned wedding photography company that knows firsthand that saying yes to forever means something — and we’ve dedicated our lives to helping couples immortalize that moment of “I Do” to carry them through the years. We’re an inclusive family where all are welcome!

Awarded Best of Zola
The Blackwell’s were so wonderful to work with from beginning to end. Communication was always easy and I could reach out to them anytime I had a question (even in the evenings!!) with an expected quick response. We also had to find and book a photographer while we were out of town for a few months and they made it so easy to video chat and get to know them with no pressure to book when we were searching for our photographer. They did our engagement shoot/wedding photos and communicated very well through the planning of the shoot (we had a themed wedding and evening photos so we need someone who was good and we found it!). You can tell that their biggest concern is always making sure that we get what we want which requires a lot of communication that they were good at. I highly recommend them for any event not just a wedding as I feel you get the best of both worlds with them as your photographer in any type of situation. They make you feel comfortable and herd, but also know how to take quality photos and get them to you fast! Thank you for making our day so extra special and giving us memories that will last a lifetime!! I cherish our wedding photos and love to show them off!!

I am a professional violinist with over 25 years of experience performing for weddings, proposals ,cocktail hours, corporate functions, parties , proposals, solo at church services and many more occasions. I can play solo violin with background accompaniment, violin/cello duet, a string trio or a string quartet, depending on what suits you. Violin playing is my passion! Music is how I make my living. I am not someone who has a career outside of music and “dabbles” in music on the side, for extra money. I hold both a BA, and an MA in music and love to enhance your wedding and other events with beautiful, live violin playing.

Francesca J was a standout choice for our wedding day. From our first conversation through the final note, she stayed in touch and made sure we knew exactly what to expect. She showed up on time and played with such grace that our guests couldn't stop talking about it. The violin added an elegance to our ceremony that we couldn't have gotten any other way. Francesca's professionalism and genuine care for making our day special made all the difference. We'd hire her again in a heartbeat.

Hi! I am Julia. I am specializing in documenting love stories taking place all throughout the world. I love working with different cultures, languages and in the most incredible locations. I adore capturing and preserving the memory, heart, and soul of an event, family and couple. My approach is both editorial and artistic. Not simply documenting moments as they happen but also carefully crafting the compositions of those moments. My aim is to deliver an aesthetic that is effortlessly romantic, timeless and emotive. Mostly I want my couples to look at their images and feel the warmth, authenticity, and emotion of the day all over again.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Julia from Fantasmic Photography for our wedding, and we cannot recommend her enough! From the very first consultation to the final delivery of our photos and video, Julia was nothing short of professional, creative, and accommodating. Julia really captured the essence of our special day with such an artistic eye. The candid moments, along with the beautifully composed shots, told our wedding story in the most magical way. Every photograph was crisp, vibrant, and full of emotion. We were especially impressed with how she seamlessly captured the little details—like the flowers, rings, and our guests' reactions—that we didn't even notice in the moment. The video was absolutely breathtaking! Julia’s videography managed to blend the joy, love, and energy of our day into a cinematic masterpiece. The editing was flawless, with the right music and pacing that made it feel like a movie. Watching our wedding video felt like reliving the entire day all over again, and it truly brought tears to our eyes. She also provided us with both a highlight reel and a full-length video, which was a great touch. What stood out the most was Julia's professionalism and attention to detail. She blended into the background during the day, capturing moments without interrupting or making us feel rushed. Her friendly demeanor and clear communication made the entire process so much easier. If you’re looking for a photographer and videographer who will not only capture your wedding day but make it unforgettable, Julia at Fantasmic Photography is the way to go! She truly exceeded our expectations, and we will treasure the memories she created for us forever.

Even with getting started at 5:30am, Bianca, Michelle, & Melissa were very upbeat, fun and brought all the good vibes for the morning. When one of my bridesmaids had an issue with her makeup, Bianca was more than happy to fix it for her.

Let’s get to know each other! 👋🏼 Hi, I’m Brittany — and I’m so excited you’re here! First of all, thank you for considering me to be a part of your special day. With over 10 years of experience in wedding planning and design, I’ve had the absolute joy of helping couples bring their dream weddings to life. When I’m not coordinating timelines or fluffing veils, you’ll find me soaking up the sun ☀️, sipping on coffee ☕, or spending time with my crew — my husband of 7 years, our two amazing kids and our two pups, Bear and Boone.

Awarded Best of Zola
Brittany was an awesome day-of coordinator! If we had to go back and do it again, Brittany would be one of the first people we would call. She brought a much needed calm, conscientious, and confident presence to give us the perfect day. She was around every step of the way to understand the big-picture and minute-by-minute logistics. She helped us create our timeline, wrangle and align all the vendors, and stayed in close contact with everybody to keep the event going the exact way we imagined. When small issues would emerge, she handled them with ease and speed. When we ran behind schedule, she was reassuring and did a great job helping us prioritize what we needed to do. She was also incredibly hospitable and thoughtful – she even brought us a plate of appetizers since we were doing photos during our cocktail hour! The last thing I wanted to say is that Brittany was actually our SECOND day-of coordinator, because we had to fire our first one. Maybe that means we have high standards? I don’t know. But, if we do, Brittany certainly exceeded them. She gave us tremendous confidence in her and her ability to carry out our event throughout the entire process. -Zak and Hannah

We could not be happier with Deanna! From the very first interaction, she was an absolute dream to work with — professional, warm, and incredibly easy-going. She had a natural ability to make us both feel completely at ease in front of the camera, which made all the difference on such an emotional and busy day. She had a wonderful eye for capturing not just the planned moments, but all the in-between ones that truly tell the story of our celebration. Every time we look back at our photos, we are able to relive the day! What really stood out was that it wasn't just us who noticed how great she was. Our guests and friends were raving about her throughout the day! She was professional, unobtrusive, and left everyone feeling comfortable around her. If you're looking for a wedding photographer who will truly capture the heart of your day, look no further. We cannot recommend Deanna highly enough!

Hi! We are Zoe and Damara, a Southwest Florida based best friend wedding photographer duo who is open to traveling anywhere! Zoe was born and raised in the small town of Champaign, Illinois, but is a beach girl at heart and was meant to be born by the ocean. She is a serene visionary with a huge passion for unique and antique, so she is often dreaming up new photography ideas that include touches of vintage flare. Damara is a Cuban-American woman born and raised in the heart of Miami! She has a vibrant personality and is the extroverted, "corkier" half of Popping Champaign that you can rely on to make you laugh through out the day.

Baking has been my passion since 6th grade- so much so that I left my corporate job behind to bake for love stories full time! I specialize in custom wedding cakes, interactive food bars, and an upcoming dessert trailer experience with full staffing starting this December. My mission? Making whatever desserts you've been dreaming of to ensure your big day is 100% you.

We had such a great experience with Lace Makes Cakes for our elopement desserts. From the start, the owner was incredibly responsive and easy to work with, making the whole process feel seamless. We ordered a 9 inch heart shaped cake and 12 white rose cupcakes for 150 plus delivery, and the quality exceeded what we paid for. The cake was as delicious as it looked, and the cupcakes were stunning with their shimmer dust and pearl details. She even delivered everything to our Airbnb on Anna Maria Island, which meant one less thing to stress about on our special day. We would absolutely recommend Lace Makes Cakes to any couple looking for beautiful desserts without the headache.

Our wedding took place on October 5th at the Hyatt on Clearwater Beach in between two hurricanes (Helene and Milton). We had started planning our wedding only 10 weeks prior and after seeing Ashley’s work we knew she was the one to video our special day. However we didn’t know if she would be available. Low and behold she was!!! It was meant to be!! Ashley did an amazing job. The recap video is absolutely perfect!! Everything just fell into place. If you are looking for an amazing videographer look no further!!! Ashley is the one for the job!!
