Let's be real. Weddings are wonderful and powerful and amazing days, but they're also big balls of stress. The best advice I ever received was from a friend who said, "find the photographer who can capture the amazing intimate moments, but also the person who you'd want to be a fly on the wall for them." After all, you spend about as much time with your wedding photographer as you do with your new spouse. Bethany was perfect for us. She captured engagement photos so stunning, so authentic, that I wish we could get a new set every year for our family. She captured perfect (occasionally hilarious) moments at the wedding that I would have completely missed otherwise - the way a friend helped you relax by pressing down on your shoulders as you got ready, the way your cousins looked at each other during a wedding toast, the way the cabin looked, it was perfect. And she created an amazing, dramatic photo that took full advantage of the rainy weekend. She's also just fun to be with; despite the stress around us, she was ready with a little joke that helped put us at ease. I think she's one of the only photographers who really got "me" in photos - not the person I try to be, or the awkward person who is trying to smile in the photos, but the person I am. I couldn't recommend her more.

We were certain we wanted to work with Alex / Toussaint Productions halfway through our introduction call. We immediately knew that Alex would not only show up for us on our wedding day, but he would really get the party started. I think each of us (me, my husband, and Alex) were not sure how or what to expect from our diverse wedding guest list. Well, Alex worked his magic and had our dance floor PACKED throughout the entire reception! I still am blown away by just how epic and fun our ceremony was. I knew my people would show up, but Alex truly kept everyone going until it was time to bring the party elsewhere. Every single one of our guests raved about Alex to us after the wedding, and we still have people mentioning to us about how awesome our dj was. Aside from what he brought to the table on our wedding day, Alex and his team are professional, kind, and just simply passionate about their work. I would book with Toussaint Productions again and again, and cannot recommend them enough!

My work blends editorial sensibility with emotional honesty. Think expressive color, playful imagination, and images that feel like they’re humming with soul. I’m here to make you feel seen, safe, and celebrated - because the best art happens when you’re allowed to simply be yourself. You bring the story; I’ll build the vision.

If you want to feel like a partner in your own wedding's photo journey, then Laura is the perfect choice.

From the very start CJ was amazing to work with! He is very easy to communicate with and super responsive to any questions. He has a worksheet to fill out with any specific songs for certain parts of the evening or for the reception dance floor, and by the end of the night he had gotten to every requested song. He was even able to throw in the Eagles fight song for the groom! There were a few moments in the night that we let CJ decide the music for and he chose the perfect songs to fit the vibe. He was great at reading the dance floor and adjusting to the crowd, and he had some fun mixes of well known songs to switch things up. On more than one occasion our guests raved about CJ through the night, and we couldn't have been happier with his work.

We had our wedding in the ballroom. Very scenic and beautiful venue! Overall a pretty good venue that includes food, tables, chairs, linens, etc. The ballroom house itself is beautiful with lots of light indoors due to the large windows, and a nice deck for an outside ceremony. Zoe communicated with us and answered all our questions and did our tasting and planning, until a week before the actual day where we were assigned a day of coordinator. I found this system to be not great, since the day of coordinator was essentially a stranger that you've never talked to at all, and you basically have to re explain everything you want. Even though they have an online planning tool (which is old and outdated), I found that they got our aisle directions wrong, the reception layout wrong, and our dinner meals were wrong. Thankfully, we had a separate planner that was able to correct these things, so I recommend getting an outside coordinator that works directly with you if you have room in the budget. Another thing was our limited setup time of 1.5 hours meaning the florist and other vendors couldn't set up earlier with more elaborate decorations and had to do something simple. I found out that this is because they had another wedding at the same place before ours (literally ending at 4) and so they rush to get the place cleaned for the evening wedding. The main room and the suit was renovated, but the bathrooms were all still dingy and not the best/cleanest to use. The food was good though, better than we had at our tasting and they got it out fast. Our vendors were fed the same food, and our guests thought it was pretty good wedding food. Apart from the couple hiccups we had, we thought the venue was great overall and really beautiful and we don't regret having our wedding there at all. It could be a little bit better in the small details for the price though.

The quality and value of her work was amazing - she has a classic style that results in gorgeous, timeless photos.

Lauren was the BEST to work with! I booked a trial with her and was able to do my engagement photos right after. My wedding wasn't for another year, and the way she listened to each of the small tweaks I wanted to make to the wedding day look was amazing. I have never felt so beautiful before in my life. She provided a "glam" look without me feeling like I had makeup caked on my face. I still felt like myself. Attaching a photo from when my makeup was first completed around 1pm, then a photo from 3am after the wedding! I was still flawless!

She is so professional, organized, and kind, making it effortless for vendors to do their part and trust that every detail will come together beautifully. For both weddings, we were able to come in, set up, and know that Bashan would handle everything from there — including making sure all of our candles were perfectly glowing for guests to enjoy a romantic, candlelit reception. She communicates so well leading up to the event and keeps everyone informed throughout the day. It’s always such a joy to work with someone who genuinely cares about her couples and creates such a smooth, collaborative experience for everyone involved!

Graze Craze of Odenton was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding! From the beginning Kareem and Sarah were incredibly friendly, reliable, and consistent in their communication making the planning process a breeze. On the day of our wedding, they set up the most beautiful, fresh, and unforgettable grazing table that perfectly matched our vision! Our guests loved gathering around it to enjoy the delicious spread and it added such a unique and memorable touch to our reception. We are so thankful to Graze Craze for being such an important part of our special day! The food was incredible, the presentation was breathtaking, and Kareem and Sarah made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable!!

Like with anything I do, I’ve put much heart, work and energy into photography. Yet, the most rewarding part are still the emotions, and happy messages I get from my clients. Nothing charges and empowers me more. On your wedding day, you shouldn't have to worry, cause I am there to help you in every way possible. I make sure your dress is all nice and fluffed in every picture, that there is nothing in your teeth, I catch every fly away and I am there to be your hype girl.

I can't gush over Grace enough. After postponing our wedding twice due to Covid, we abandoned our original plans of having a huge wedding at home in Kentucky and decided to have a small ceremony at the beach in Florida. After finding Grace through hashtags on Instagram, we DMed a bit and setup a call. After talking on the phone, I was sold! Grace was my go to girl for all things Florida. She had the BEST recommendations for other vendors and was ALWAYS just a text away if I had any questions or simply needed someone to share wedding plans with. Even though we didn't actually meet in person until the day of the ceremony, it felt as if we had been lifelong friends. She PERFECTLY captured our ceremony and I can't wait to plan another shoot with her when we visit again!!
