From the moment I started planning with Fresh Coast Beauty, Jessica and her team put me at ease with their straightforward and friendly approach. They listened to what I wanted during my trials and made sure everything felt right in between before the big day. On the morning of my wedding, they showed up ready to go and made sure all of us looked polished and felt confident. Their work held up beautifully throughout the entire day. What really stood out was how responsive they were to any last-minute questions or concerns we had. I’d absolutely recommend Fresh Coast Beauty to any bride looking for a beauty team that's professional, down to earth, and genuinely cares about making your day special.

Based in Marquette, Michigan, I’m your introverted, homebody, oat milk latte, obsessed photographer. Oh, & I can't forget awkward! When I'm not building relationships & serving couples & families, you can find me hiking, sitting down by the Ore Dock, & photographing nature in the Upper Peninsula just like my father & I used to do when I was a little girl.

Emily Diane Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. She were very easy to contact and quick to respond throughout the entire planning process, which was a huge relief. The quality of their work was excellent - she kept us on track and was helpful with anything we needed on the day. Emily is a wonderful photographer and person, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Emily Diane Photography!

You’ve probably heard the meaning of opal as, “precious stone,” or “queen of gems,” but we’re really focused on the reflected light that an opal emits (we’re photographers and videographers after all, we're kind of obsessed with light). We’re really here to be a light to our clients, meaning it’s our priority to show love to everyone because of the love that we have been shown.

Tiffany has been great every time I’ve gotten the chance to work with her! She’s extremely talented and it helps that she is so calm and professional on wedding days. I hope to continue working with her in the future!

  • Photographer

  • Serves Skandia, MI

Established in 2014. I have been a lifelong artist. In fact, when I was in 2nd grade, I said when I grew up I wanted to be an artist with insurance haha! I went to school at Northern Michigan University and got a BS degree in Art Education with a concentration in photography. While in college I started taking portraits and shot my first wedding in 2014. After teaching K-12 Art for three years, I was able to shift to become a wedding photographer full time in 2017. I am so grateful to have my dream job - I'm officially an artist with insurance!

Wow—speechless doesn’t even begin to describe how we feel about Sabrina! After seeing her incredible work at one of our friends’ weddings, we knew—even two years later—that she was the only person we wanted to capture our own wedding day. From start to finish, Sabrina was everything you could ask for in a photographer and more. She’s personable, outgoing, gentle, and unbelievably talented. She takes the time to get to know you—what you like (and don’t like), your bridal party’s names, your parents, and family members—so that everyone she photographs feels comfortable and cared for. By the end of the day, she didn’t just feel like our photographer, she felt like a friend. Let’s be honest, being in front of a camera can feel awkward—but Sabrina made us feel like naturals, like we’d been doing it our whole lives. Her ability to put people at ease is unmatched. If I could, I’d hire her for every occasion—not just weddings. Her personality, her artistry, and her editing style are all truly top-notch. You will not be disappointed with Sabrina—we can’t recommend her enough!

Hi there! My name’s Molly Holmstrom-Bolster, and I’m the Molly Jo of Molly Jo Photography. Photographer. Mom. Wife. Dog mom. Ordained minister. Yooper. I was born & raised in Calumet, MI (in the beautiful Upper Peninsula). I picked up a camera over four years ago to get some shots of my younger brothers racing cars & playing hockey, but realized very quickly that my passion was not sports photography - it was capturing love.

Molly Jo Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, their communication was quick, effective, and efficient, putting us at ease throughout the entire planning process. On the day of our wedding, they captured every special moment with an amazing attention to detail, delivering high-quality, beautiful photos that we will cherish forever. The value they provided far exceeded our expectations, and we would highly recommend Molly Jo Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.

They juggled so many details during the planning process and made everything feel simple and manageable. On our wedding day, they worked tirelessly to create a magical weekend for us, and they even went above and beyond to no help with our welcome dinner the night before. The space itself is beautiful and unique, but it's Maddie and Mike's warmth and reliability that really set this venue apart. We can't thank them enough for making our day unforgettable.

If I'm not taking photos or traveling, you can find me in the kitchen trying to prefect the perfect pizza recipe (any tips are appreciated)!

It is clear photography is his passion, and working with him on our wedding day was a joy. He is extremely talented and is excellent with people. I am so thankful we were able to work with him. We truly could not have had a better experience and I feel so lucky to have such beautiful photographs of our special day. I highly recommend working with Curtis to photograph your wedding day or any special occasion!

We are a happy little family that lives minutes away from the shores of Lake Superior. We just bought a fixer-upper that we are eager to spruce up and settle into as we watch our daughter grow! ​Our story started in 2014 over several games of the card game Speed. We had mutual friends and went to the same church but as fate would have it, we ended up being the only two people at what was supposed to be a big gathering. Instead of calling it a night, we chatted and played cards. Matt knew it was love then, but Lauren needed more time. Regardless of what page we were on, our friendship continued to grow over the next year.

Just rent the flowers y’all - after getting multiple thousands of dollars in quotes from florists for our tiny dinner party wedding I started to look for other options. SSB had great reviews, in person or zoom consultations and a VERY helpful FB group that helped me pull the trigger even being pretty skeptical that the quality wouldn’t be there. Fast forward to the day I unboxed them and I was floored, some of the petals even FEEL REAL. Don’t know how they do it. Shipping was easy, fast and return labels were in sticker form to just pop back on. Our guests had no idea they weren’t real, especially with our low light reception it was impossible to tell. It was a breezed - we spent about 450 for 9 large centerpieces, bouquet and a few boutonnières for the guys from the Marlowe collection rather than the 2-3k quite well we’re getting from florists here in Atlanta that at the end of the day aren’t sustainable and would have looked the same (at best). Just rent the flowers y’all.

Toast Weddings was the perfect choice for our wedding videography needs. From the very beginning, their team was responsive, compassionate, and highly professional in their communication. The quality of their work was excellent - they captured all the special, custom moments of our wedding day in Waialua, Hawaii with a keen eye for detail. As a couple who was 7 months pregnant with our first child at the time, the Toast Weddings team went above and beyond to cater to our unique situation and make sure our memories were beautifully preserved. Our videographer, Jason, had a truly creative vision that shone through in the final highlight video we received just 3 months after our wedding.

In 2013, 8-year wedding veteran Amy McCord Jones realizes she wouldn't be able to afford to hire her own floral services if she was a bride. Then, Amy discovers that there is basically zero help available for DIY brides. No flower recipes. No instructions. No access to florist-grade blooms. Rude. So she launches Flower Moxie! Flower Moxie remains a humble, tucked-away small business out of Oklahoma City. We don’t zoom around on scooters in some fancy high-rise. We stock an average kitchen with canned wine and Aldi chips and listen to true crime podcasts while photographing curvy ranunculus. Join us. There’s cake, hugs, and acceptance here.

Flower Moxie provided great options for access to specialty flowers to utilize at my wedding. With great communication following floral delivery, and provided further instructions to ensure preservation of the roses at delivery. I was stunned with how well the roses lasted from being delivered 2 days prior to the wedding and lasting for 2-4 days following the wedding. Blue Delphinium was the least impressive, and I was not pleased. Sad. Wilting and unable to hydrate. I was not impressed. I ordered: Orange Free Spirit Garden Roses (50 Stems, 3.60/stem) and Light Blue Delphinium (50 Stems, 3.00/stem) and spent 354.

DJ Motiv was extraordinary. I was so impressed by his professionalism, communication, and willingness to make sure our night was perfect. I was skeptical at first with some reviews mentioning that the DJ’s weren’t playing the songs they chose. I immediately reached out and that was informed that it would not be an issue. ALL of our chosen music was played, with some song requests of guests (with bride’s approval, per DJ motiv - loved that). DJ Motiv checked in with us constantly, even to make sure our food was at our table, if we needed drinks, if the music was going well, and if there was anything he could do. He was going above and beyond to make sure we had what we needed. I even threw in special requests during my wedding, including him stopping my parent dance half way (on purpose) as if the music turned off, to take the mic and give a short speech. He did it phenomenally. I had a game request, with him being the commentator and director of, and he took that role and ran with it. The wedding guests LOVED him. I have nothing negative to say about his services. Even the photobooth was done great! I also had a custom sign made, with our new last name, and it was perfect! Such a great item to be able keep, and you get a year warranty on it. Anyway, I highly recommend this DJ!! He MADE our wedding perfect. Everyone loved him.
