Oh man, let's talk about Daniel and his www.azbestdj.com crew! From "booking us" to "being there at last dance of the night" Daniel seriously rocked our wedding day! I mean, he went above and beyond to make sure everything was smooth and exactly how we wanted it. Communication was on point, and he really took the time to understand us and make the music choices for day uniquely ours. I had my special "1st Dance" and "Ceremony music" already picked out, but for "our 8 year olds to 80 year old crowd" I didnt know what to pick for "fast dancing" trusted Daniel to keep the party going and he totally nailed it! We've got some Greek family on my mom's side, and by request from a family member, he even played a sick Greek song later in the night that got everyone grooving together. My aunt led a traditional greek dance step, and it was a blast! Seriously, so many of our guests complimented Daniel and the dance floor was never empty and I liked how the microphones, DJ lights and DJ/MC and even "planning time" were "all included". I can't stress enough how awesome he was as a DJ. If you're looking for the best DJ ever, Daniel's your guy! Highly recommend!

Tori Kreckman Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very first conversation, Tori's communication was amazing - she was responsive, enthusiastic, and clearly passionate about her craft. And the quality of her work? Even better than amazing. She braved the elements with us, shooting beautiful portraits in a surprise snowstorm, and captured all the special moments of our day with an artistic eye and keen attention to detail.

Irina Adams Photography LLC

Surprise, AZ
  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,500

I love capturing precious memories for couples on their special day and showing their love story throughout the photography coverage. I began my photography journey in 2015 after I had my daughter. Growing up I used to dislike having my photos taken because I always felt uncomfortable in the photos. Raise your hand if you can relate! My biggest goal is to make my clients comfortable and provide a positive experience. I want my clients to frame my finished work and art in their homes and be proud of their photos.

Awarded Best of Zola
I can hardly express in words my appreciation for Irina Adams as our wedding photographer. She took both our engagement photos and our wedding photos. Our engagement photos were taken in Sedona at a cute park that Irina recommended and our wedding took place at the Marley Park Heritage Club in Surprise, AZ. Her photography style is lively, bright, and timeless. Exactly what I was looking for in a photographer. I also loved the up close, detailed shots that captured our reactions to each others vows and the moments that made it all special. Even the photos at night are clear and crisp. The photos can speak for themselves, but there are many other attributes to look for in a wedding photographer. Irina helped me pick out a dress for my engagement photos that didn't clash with the Sedona scenery. She is direct in her communication, and got our family and wedding party through photos quickly to maximize time for my now-husband and me to spend with our guests. You will not regret choosing Irina as your wedding photographer, my only regret is not having her stay longer for the reception.

Cam and Larisa, LLC

Surprise, AZ
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,000

We are two high school sweethearts who fell in love with each other, got married, had kids and are living our best life! Our journey in professional photography began on our wedding day. We had a horrible experience with our photographer, but from that experience, we made it our mission to ensure that our clients have the best possible photography experience. As a husband and wife team, our passion for each other motivates us to capture the same passion of our clients while providing the best experience imaginable!

Wow, where do I begin with Cam & Larisa? They are hands down, the best photo/video duo. My review can simply end here. We got married in April 2023 in Sedona, AZ. Since we are from NJ, our correspondence with Cam & Larisa began via Instagram and continued through their website, email, and Zoom until our wedding day. They were so prepared with everything, including tons of stuff I didn’t think of throughout the process. They immediately understood the vision and took over the rest. I had no worries at all during the planning and wedding day and that’s greatly due to them. Cam & Larisa are truly, insanely, talented. I can’t stop looking at our photos and video and remembering these precious moments. They captured our love so beautifully. Larisa made sure to bring additional décor items that I forgot to get (i.e. “Bride” hanger, ring holder, etc.) and I really appreciated that attention to detail. She also ended up bustling my dress for me! THANK YOU! Cam’s sense of humor kept us laughing and smiling in every shot. As they are a married couple, it was beautiful to watch them work together and read each other with minimal communication. They just “get it”. Cam & Larisa sent us a lovely laser etched thumb drive with all our high res images and video (we purchased the 8 hour photo/video package and upgraded the movie to 10 minutes; received over 900 photos and a 10 minute movie). Honestly, we probably didn’t even need the thumb drive since all the content was available for download via their portal (which was soooo easy to use). They covered all the important parts of the days that I asked for, and then some. They also got specific shots I requested based on some Pinterest inspo I sent them in advance. We really can’t thank Cam & Larisa enough for being amazing people, professional, warm, down to earth, and spectacular photographer/videographer(s)!!

  • Up to 200 guests

  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $17,000

Our family has been living in the west valley since 2005 and has invested greatly in our community. We love to live, work, and play on the west side and want to continue to increase the exposure to the area by opening an exclusive desert wedding and event venue. This idea has been a dream of our family for the last five years and happened only because of the lack of this type of unique business in the area.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Venue is completely outdoors
  • Promotes a party atmosphere
  • Provides lighting and sound

Venue considerations

  • On-site parking not available
  • Does not allow pets
  • Large venue, not ideal for small guest lists
We had the absolute BEST experience using The Willow AZ as our wedding venue. From the beginning, The Willow aimed to make our experience easy and seamless. They offer packages that include a variety of venues, while also giving you the option to remove certain aspects of the package to fit your needs. We were so grateful for amazing preferred vendors through The Willow such as our DJ (Push Play Entertainment), bar services (Dashing Spirits), and our amazing day-of coordinator, Maddie! The desert scenery and gorgeous Willow house allowed our video/photos to turn out absolutely stunning. We could not have been more pleased with our experience and highly recommend The Willow to any couple considering a cool, desert, western-esque vibe.

Hi, I'm Candace and I have a thing for weddings! I didn't start as a wedding photographer, I actually started as a BIRTH photographer surprisingly! I was addicted to capturing real and raw moments for families to have and relive over and over. I actually was nervous for weddings, which is why I didn't start doing them. One thing led to another and as people started asking me if I WOULD shoot their wedding, I decided to give it a try. Fast-forward to dozens and dozens of weddings later and I am obsessed!! I am a full fledged wedding photographer and I LOVE capturing every single moment of your day. The addiction is real!!

Awarded Best of Zola
The level of professionalism you receive when booking your session with Candace will not be outdone by any other professional. Candace takes the time to get to know you on a personal level and that is reflected in her craft. There never seem to be repeat moments captured by her lens making your experience with her, no matter how many times you book, unique and beautifully unmatched. We have had the pleasure of working with Candace for our maternity shoot and then again as a family of three once our daughter was born. Both experiences left us feeling a deep connection and sense of true community that you just don’t find in every photographer. She was patient with our newborn and guided us through posing and making our experience stress free. We will definitely be scheduling our annual family photos with Candace going forward. We cannot wait for more cherished images captured by her as our family grows!

Michael did a fantastic job as our wedding DJ and emcee. He took the time to meet with us on multiple occasions to get to know us as a couple, to learn about our music interests, and to understand what type of vibe we were going for at the ceremony and reception. He created a timeline for our wedding that was so helpful because I did not have a day--of coordinator. He even gave my brother some pointers since it was his first time being an officiant. The party was so much fun, the music was great, his lighting was awesome, and all of our guests enjoyed the photobooth. 10/10 would recommend!

I went to the open house last year and fell in love with the Venue at First sight. The grass, pecan trees, citrus trees, and then 40,000 lights sold the deal. We got married on 5/25/24, with almost all guests flying in. Every guest commented on how romantic the venue was. Stephanie and Ben were the best; they were both very professional and provided their expertise when needed. I can't forget how the ceremony went perfectly due to the support and always encouraging staff, especially Ben. Ensemble Catering is a part of the venue, and being that I have mostly foodie friends, everyone thought the food was delicious. The late-night Fries and Cookie Wall were discussed for the next few days when guests called to say how much they enjoyed the evening. Another consideration in my 5-star review is that the vendors in the package and on their website were just as great to work with. My husband and I are so grateful to everyone who worked that day and all the others who helped plan and make it the best day of our lives. We specifically worked with Got You Covered DJs, Sugarlips Bakery, TonyGeorgePhoto, Ensemble Catering, Wildchild Flowers, and AllTheLovelyLeigh Details. Below are photos from guests, not TonyGeorge.

So here's the tea... I'm a wise-cracking, extroverted Capricorn who excels at corralling your rowdy family for photos and charming Aunt Carol, the self-deemed professional iPad photographer. Ever since I was little, huddled on the couch with my five siblings rewatching The Lion King, I knew that I wanted to be a storyteller. Growing up in a creative household, I studied a wide range of arts before settling on filmmaking. I envisioned in my head that I would be the next Spielberg, but after shooting my first wedding in 2013 all my plans changed.

Maya was my wedding photographer at my wedding in Flagstaff, AZ at Aldea Wedding in the Woods and she was PHENOMENAL. Her energy is out of this world & you cannot help but smile and laugh around her. She quickly feels like family. Not only does she have the most insanely wonderful personality that brightens the room but her photos she took are STUNNING! She really has such an eye for capturing the perfect moments and the quality and colors are just perfect. Myself, my now husband, and friends and family were just in awe when I showed them. I just got married two days ago and the day after my wedding she sent me sneak peek photos and there were SO many - I couldn’t believe how fast the turnaround was. And there’s more photos to come! Everything was just stunning I can’t rave about her enough. You need to hire Maya!!!! Also my friends and family couldn’t stop talking about how fun she was. We love you Maya you are amazing!!!

Just like you, I too am in love with the views Arizona has to offer. I am a nontraditional wedding photographer, I am there for all the feels that come with your big day. The tears, the smiles, the laughs, the dancing... Moody, warm and candid photography. Photos to make you relive the moments later

I discovered Laura's work on my Instagram and immediately fell in love with it. Her style was warm and soothing, and I was excited to collaborate with her. The booking process was seamless; she was highly professional and fully understood my vision. I felt fortunate because she had previously shot at our location, Lost Dutchman State Park, and I could use some of her past work for reference. On the day of our wedding, Laura arrived on time and remained professional throughout. That same night, we received a sneak peek of some of my favorite photos. Our wedding was a surprise elopement, and everyone absolutely loved the pictures. We received the final edits promptly and were showered with compliments. Laura played a big part in making my day special, and I look forward to working with her again in the future.

HEY! I'M ASHLEY! Aka, Your Professional third wheel! I am so happy you dropped by! I am a uber bubbly, warm hearted, person who loves to order 3 drinks at Dutch Bros and say its for other people but really its just for me. When I am not spending my lifes savings at Dutch Bros, I am professionally following peeps in love and photographing their stories. I am a lover of true crime and murder podcasts! (But I mean who isnt! I just cant help it!) FUN FACT: I speak switzerdütsch, aka a German slang. My mom is originally from Switzerland and my dad from Jamaica, so you know I am always hungry for adventures (and new places to binge eat at).

Hi, I'm Ricky, owner and lead photographer. Wedding planning doesn't need to be stressful. And you don't have to do it alone. I GOT YOU! You want to enjoy your big day, so I make sure you have time for just the two of you alone and I try to get you back to your cocktail hour as soon as possible so you can enjoy your friends' company. More importantly, I promise through my mix of direction and “fly on the wall” style of photography, you will feel relaxed and excited in front of my lens. All I ask of my couples is to be open-minded, open-hearted, respectful, and unapologetically YOU!! Bottom line, be exactly who you are and I will do the rest.

We are beyond thrilled with the experience we had with Ricky and cannot recommend him enough. From start to finish, he was the epitome of professionalism, keeping a calm and collected demeanor throughout the entire day, even when unexpected changes to the schedule arose. His ability to adapt on the fly and still capture every perfect moment was truly impressive. We were especially grateful for the attention to detail he showed, not just in the photos, but in his approach to the whole day. He took the time to understand our vision our minimalist, black-and-white, old Hollywood vibe and truly brought it to life. The sneak peek photos are absolutely stunning and look like something straight out of a magazine! He captured every moment exactly how we imagined it, down to the finest details. He fulfilled my Pinterest board dreams. Beyond his incredible photography skills, Ricky was also such a warm and welcoming presence. He made an effort to connect with our parents and made sure everyone felt at ease, which was especially important on such a significant day. His thoughtful communication extended beyond just the wedding day he helped us create a day-of timeline and was in touch with our other vendors beforehand to ensure everything flowed seamlessly. When it came to the photos, the turnaround was incredibly fast! We were blown away by the sneak peeks, which we received much sooner than expected. It’s clear that he takes great pride in his work and is committed to delivering high-quality results. We feel incredibly lucky to have had Ricky capture our special day. If you’re looking for a photographer who is not only talented but also attentive, organized, and truly invested in your vision, Ricky is the one to hire. He helped make our wedding day unforgettable.
