Awarded Best of Zola
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.

I have always loved story-telling. I loved writing stories as a kid (I even tried to get a book published at age 12) and I love writing my own D&D campaigns now. Through storytelling, I see the paths laid ahead for our heroes, and beautiful adventures that need to be documented. Through storytelling, I started to see the pictures. And from these pictures, I began to photograph. I am crazy passionate about your day. I want to help you capture those moments. I want you to have the most amazing time, and the happiest memories. I want you to have photos so good that you can’t wait to show it off to the people you know, and even those you don’t.

I can’t recommend Cassy V enough! We loved working with her for our wedding. She was so professional and kind to work with. She helped scout our couples photo shoot ahead of time so we didn’t have to do it ourselves, which is above and beyond.

Hi I’m Abby! been told all my life that I have an artistic flair and a gift for creativity, but that’s not the only reason why I started my career in wedding photography. I’m the biggest romantic and feel things deeply — in my photography there’s no detail in your connection that goes unnoticed. The little winks and smirks that silently set your soul on fire, the quirks that stay hidden to everybody else but you, and the parts of them that somehow make you fall in love with them even more… They’re how I tell stories because I know that in time, those are the things you’ll cherish the most.

Abby made our day unforgettable. She had this ease about her that calmed me throughout the day. Anything I wanted to make sure we included she made it happen - even the smallest detail that I had forgotten about she remembered. She drove me up a mountain for first look photos. That right there is dedication. Not only was she supportive as a professional, it was great to have her there as a friend. I would recommend this amazing photographer to anyone. The quality of her work shows through her photos and her work ethic. She had sneak peak photos emailed to me the literal next day. Abby is an absolute wonder, and I will forever be grateful she was there to capture the most perfect moments of the most beautiful day. Thank you, Abby!

Kristiann did an amazing job with our videography! She communicated great beforehand and worked with my coordinator to make sure everything was good to go in our schedule. She was very thorough to get all the shots I wanted and then some! She was great to work with and our video was fantastic. She captured some great moments and my whole family laughed and cried. She definitely did some great comedic cuts as well from the night to make it something I will love to watch forever! I definitely recommend her for your wedding.

We are so grateful for brandi! Because our contract said we had to have a wedding planner for the day.We thought we could just get one just to show.But after interviewing the first one, We knew we needed someone who would definitely care about our special day and all it's details. We interviewed for four others and we just didn't find what we were looking for: professionalism, attention to details, demeanor that showed they would have a quick command of our large bridal party- until we met Brandi!!! What a God sent! Upon meeting her, her genuine care for our wedding was felt immediately. My now husband and I were very organized and already had all the details we wanted.We just need someone excellent to execute them and Brandi did that and so much more. Right away, She contacted all of our vendors, grabbed all of our contracts and organized them. She had an awesome timeline made capturing every detail we explained to her. She was always available to talk or text when we had random questions and always gave thoughtful answers. During the rehearsal, she was in charge and fun! Her loving heart showed when I showed her my bridal bouquet that was full of sad white roses. She made it her mission to find me a new bouquet the day of the wedding! Went to four florists! Just for me! On the wedding day, Brandi and her assistants were excellently dressed in black and with walkies. They set-up my ballroom, beautifully drapped my arch, and aisle chairs just as I dreamed. She and her team were with us until the end. One of the best things we did for this wedding was getting Brandi on board. She's the epitome of small sacrifice BIG, BIG reward. She shows amd makes you feel that coordinating your wedding is her true passion and service. We loved her so much, we referred her to another friend and now her team will be at that wedding! Thank you so much Brandi and your team.

If you are getting married in SoCal, and it’s important to you to find a team of photographers that make you feel comfortable and make your love shine through the camera, look no further than Peterson Design Photography . Marissa and Tim are not only a great team, communicators and photographers, but they are also pretty awesome to talk to; before, during and after your event. They took great care with our angles and personalities, they really made us shine with joy while taking photos, even when we are far from ideal models. Marissa had impeccable communication to make sure no detail is left to chance, and that was so reassuring to a type-a like me that had tons of checklists and picture inspiration. Being honest, we won a giveaway and didn’t do an economic investment for our elopement, but the value in all their work makes me confident in saying that they are worth it, that YOU and YOUR event are worth the investment, to get pictures that truly capture the real emotions of the day. We are so grateful to Marissa and Tim, and would trust them a million times again with our most precious day

"I am still in awe. 100/10 absolutely phenomenal. Thank you for above & beyond service. BOOK HIM you will not regret it." -Reese Free. As you compare performers, you likely wonder what makes one a better fit than another. Of course, musical skill is important. This is something I've developed in my 15 years of playing. But there's more than that—it's the ability to fit seamlessly with a DJ, to connect with vendors behind the scenes to minimize weight on your shoulders, to deliver your important songs in a way that accentuates the emotions of the moment. With Seps, you can expect a performance of a lifetime, with the easiest prep imaginable.

Seps was the BEST addition to our wedding we could have ever asked for! He brought the party and the energy and made it an unforgettable night. The number one thing guests talk to us about after the day! If you’re looking for a fun and unique touch to liven up the party, Seps is your guy! 10000/10!

Erin is truly INCREDIBLE!! One of the best decisions I made for our wedding was hiring Erin as our planner! From the very first meeting, I knew our wedding was in great hands. I could feel the stress melt away as I could tell Erin was extremely knowledgeable and on top of everything. She always responded to all inquiries very quickly and had so much knowledge to share. She walked us through every step of the way and throughly explained everything. Her wedding planning website where I was able to upload inspo pictures, the guest list, vendor contacts, and more is truly amazing and is so easy to navigate. Just four days before our big day, the chosen venue was evacuated due to a fire in Big Bear. It was a race against time! Fortunately, Erin was able to find the dreamiest venue for our big day!! The stress of that week was unimaginable, but she was so positive, so caring, and so dependable. The day of the wedding I was able to relax and fully enjoy the day because Erin and her team were there. I am beyond grateful for Erin and her team’s support and commitment in ensuring our day was perfect. I could not have done it without her!! I would recommend her services to any couple looking for a wedding planner.

Hi there and welcome to Chasing Joy Creations! My name is Joey and I'm an Orange County Wedding Planner and Designer, serving Southern California. I offer 3 MAJOR services: design & decor, florals, and coordination, as well as several a la carte planning services. I can be your one stop shop and will save you so much time, stress, and money! My clients are like family to me and I truly pour my heart into each and every one. Giving BIG and creating unique WOW weddings is where my business shines. I've got you covered with ALL design styles. If extras, affordability, and one of a kind are your love language, you are in the right spot!

There are not enough words in the English dictionary to describe how wonderful Joey is. Not only is she the kindest woman you will ever meet, but you will never feel like "just another client" when you're with her. She listens to your individuality and embraces your ideas to create your own one-of-a-kind dream wedding. She takes the time and works hard in every single aspect of her craft -- it truly is amazing to have an artist that took the time to wrap 200 twinkle light strands with over 50 6 ft. fall leaf garlands and tie them up on the ceiling, all because I (the bride) wanted to feel like I was in an autumn rustic, twinkle light heaven. Hiring her is the best thing we did for our wedding. Not only did we have the wedding of our dreams, but we walked away with a lifelong friend. To hire Joey is to know your wedding or event will go off without a hitch. Trust me, just look at these photos!

Nestled along the dramatic coastline of Laguna Beach, Occasions at Laguna Village invites you to be a guest at your own wedding. We offer personalized service to professionally plan and execute every detail of your special day in a dreamlike setting. Framed with year-round hillside gardens and surrounded by the soothing sound of the Pacific surf, our oceanfront wedding terrace offers one of the most spectacular views on the California Coastline. The beauty of Occasions at Laguna Village will create lifetime memories of your special day in the most romantic location on the Pacific Coast.

Can't say enough good things about the team at Occasions at Laguna Village -- when venue shopping, my husband and I had almost given up and decided we would likely just elope instead, but Occasions was our last stop. We immediately fell in love with the views, the layout, the food/drink options, the ability to personalize our version, the beach party vibe - all of it! Dayna made the planning process SO easy and always offered to jump on a call with me whenever I had questions or needed to talk through a decision I was changing. The tasting with Andrew was a BLAST and he was able to easily accommodate all of our requests from pre-wedding cocktails to late night snacks. Especially comparing the cost to other venues nearby, you cannot go wrong with Occasions. Thanks again to the team for making our dreams come true!!!!!
