Extraordinary Event Video & Photo 
Rating: 5.0 (12 reviews)
South Pasadena, CA
  • Videographer
  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $1,250

My documentary filmmaking journey has taken me around the country and to Central America. I have a Master's in Visual Anthropology from USC and am professionally trained to adapt to any and every situation I encounter. I am technically skilled, artistically inclined, and most of all, possessed of a remarkable empathy that enables me to capture the human essence of every couple I encounter.

Steve Grossman was my videographer when I made my debut as an orchestra conductor at Royce Hall two Christmases ago. He arrived on time, neatly groomed and professionally dressed, and recorded my segment flawlessly. Steve is one of those rare people who under-promise and over-deliver. When I saw the finished product, I was genuinely blown away—the editing was Oscar-worthy. He went above and beyond the call of duty, and along the way became a friend. Steve is an exceptionally talented professional, a great guy, and someone I recommend without hesitation.

Rebecca y Las Otras 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
South Pasadena, CA
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style

I am a documentary wedding photographer -- I'm all about capturing real moments. In my photographs, I’m always shooting with an eye for color, light, and dynamic shadows. I integrate these technical aspects with my background in film, literature and storytelling so with every wedding, I create a series of documentary photos that recreates the authentic narrative of a day. I’m always chasing the candid, the emotional, even the un-noticed everyday details; things that make you do a double take, little moments that make your heart swell.

Awarded Best of Zola
We approached Rebecca for her photojournalistic photography, something we explicitly wanted in our wedding because we wanted those natural moments captured without looking awkward, and she astonished us by capturing so many sentimental and hilarious parts throughout our wedding. From framing to editing, the photos turned out fantastic and we love them so much! You can see raw emotion, joy, and amazement throughout them. She truly captured the feelings of the day without making us feel overly posed and orchestrated; she made it all feel natural and sometimes even seemed to disappear out of sight (although the photos prove she was there all along). She truly is an artist! We also appreciated Rebecca and Stephanie getting onto the dance floor and grooving with us while capturing hilarious moments. We highly recommend Rebecca if you want authentic, beautiful photos from someone who understands how to include cultural and personal values in your special event!

THE GOLD COLLECTIVE 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
South Pasadena, CA
  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $16,000

Authentic, timeless, essence, natural, and candid are the most significant narratives when capturing a wedding day and are always at the center of the brand's heart. We love natural light, a strong action-stopping camera flash, capturing enchanting couples with inventive dance moves, making new friends, a flowing champagne tower, and a heartfelt toast.

I adored working with the The Gold Collective team! Overall, Ivy provided a calming presence to the wedding day. She provided a fun energy for the bride and guests, so they felt comfortable in front of the camera. And as a planner, I felt at ease as communication was easy and thorough during the planning process and on the wedding day allowing for a structured day so we can get the best photos possible for everyone. In the end, she was able to capture beautiful portraits, thoughtful details of the day, and timeless candids.

  • Starts at $3,000

Flores de Bosquez was founded in 2017 by Marisa Bosquez-White. Based in Los Angeles, Flores de Bosquez offers florals for weddings & events, botanical styling for editorial projects and custom deliveries. Flores de Bosquez is known for our distinct aesthetic. We work in a naturalistic style, allowing nature dictate the design. We choose the most exquisite materials with an emphasis on seasonal, local and foraged botanicals. Marisa is drawn to the unusual and strange, working with botanic materials deemed imperfect or odd and mixing them with more traditionally “beautiful” florals to create a look that is wholly her own.

I recommend Marissa and her floral studio to all of my couples that are in or traveling from the LA. You can feel the love and attention to detail that she puts into every arrangement. I am in love with every one of her designs. Each are truly unique; thoughtfully and artistically composed and one of a kind. Exactly what every couple needs to breathe in on their special day. She's a delightful artist that genuinely cares about her work with her clients. Highly recommend your arrangements with Flores de Bosquez.

Seth was the best wedding DJ that we could have hoped for! We first met Seth at a wedding vendor expo event at our reception venue and were immediately impressed by the quality of his sound system and his ability to mix the selected soundtrack live. Seth is very communicative. In our first meeting with Seth, it was already immediately apparent that he was very experienced and very passionate about making our wedding day special and everything that we wanted it to be. We felt very comfortable that he knew what he was doing, and on the day of the wedding he executed flawlessly. As for the preparation work, Seth schedules multiple meetings with you leading up to your wedding day which eases a lot of the nerves heading into busy planning season. Seth also has an app that you can download on your phone which is awesome because it allows you to edit details of your wedding day timeline and playlist on-the-go as we were making decisions during the planning months. On the day of the wedding, Seth came prepared having downloaded all the music that we talked about ahead of time and he kept the dance floor alive ALL NIGHT (over 3 hours). Seth responded to the audience and was able to mix a variety of genres that we had requested (like country, pop, spanish music, musical songs, etc) over various sets across the evening. He also coordinated our photo booth which was a nice touch that all the guests really enjoyed and had a second person stationed there for help all night. We couldn't recommend Seth enough to other couples who are in need of a DJ! Thank you, Seth!

  • Serves South Pasadena, CA

Photography has always been a lifelong passion of mine, I picked up my first camera as a gift from my dad when I was 14 years old. Never in a million years would I have thought that my lifelong hobby could eventually become my career. I focused on my future, working my way through college and grad school to achieve my license to practice, but a part of me realized that I wanted to pursue a career that allowed me to go on adventures and meet a lot of new people. So in 2019, I took that risk, changed my hours from full time to part time and put more focus on my photography. I booked my first gig later that year and have never looked back.

Whether it's a makeup artist, florist, DJ, and more! His calm demeanor and professionalism put us at ease, helping us feel comfortable in front of the camera. The photos turned out stunning, perfectly capturing the emotions and details of our special day. Randall has truly become our family's photographer. He captured our proposal, engagement, and now our wedding, and we look forward to having him document our future milestones.

James was so much fun at our wedding! He was a great MC/DJ and was a hit with all of our wedding guests. He communicated with us throughout the wedding process and kept in touch with both me and my wedding coordinator whenever we came across any details we needed to discuss. My only concern was not having him longer at the wedding. My husband and I still talk about our wedding playlist and how we wish we had more dance time with our guests.

The Oviatt is a wonderful venue and it was such a pleasure working with Lindsey and Gabe! We knew during our tour that the Oviatt was the right venue for us. The size (for small-medium sized weddings), location, and character of the venue is really unparalleled. Then layer on top table and linen deal when you work with a preferred catering vendor and the Oviatt is the best deal in town! Gabe was very helpful during the touring and contracting phase. He communicates very clearly which made the process very smooth. There were no surprise charges at any point. The cost of everything was communicated very clearly upfront. Then, once we signed the contract, we worked with Lindsey, the director of events who supports the planning phase. Lindsey answered all of our questions in a timely and patient manner. She never hesitated to answer our questions, even when the answers to our questions were clearly outlined in the welcome packet! The event planning tools the team uses makes it incredibly easy to stay up on all of the planning details from floorplan to linen selections, to guest count - the tool handles it all with clear deadlines for each task. Finally, on the day of our wedding the Oviatt team executed the event so smoothly. Everything went off without a hitch! Our guests were so impressed by the venue. Quintessential LA rooftop vibe with art deco architecture. Such a treat. We would recommend the Oviatt to anybody looking to get married in the downtown area. The Oviatt is reasonably priced, the staff are incredibly professional and reliable, and are just nice people. We are forever grateful to the Oviatt staff for helping us have our perfect wedding!

I’m not even sure where to begin to describe how amazing Events by McKenna is at what they do!! McKenna is the most kind, helpful, and enthusiastic person to assist you during such an important time in your life. She made sure everything went perfectly on our wedding day and every day leading up to it! When we first started our wedding planning journey, we only knew where we wanted to have it, and due to the venue location not regularly being used for weddings, we needed to outsource vendors for everything. That's where McKenna came in and helped us out by hand-picking every vendor that she knew would provide the exact things we were looking for. From catering, florals, furniture rentals, DJ, and all the little details, she knew who would be perfect for the job and she was right about every single one! Every time we had a question or a crazy idea, she had an answer right away and she would do everything she could to make it happen. One thing that we were really hoping for was getting a disco ball above our dance floor, but since we were outdoors, it wasn’t looking promising. McKenna was the one who made sure that we got our disco ball, and it was absolutely perfect! That’s just one example of the many ways McKenna ensured our dream wedding would become a reality. On the day of, McKenna and her team were so efficient and handled everything so that my husband and I could relax and focus on ourselves. We got to our venue and everything was already done and ready to start the day! McKenna was amazing at time management throughout the day, and she was so helpful to not only us, but our families, wedding party and guests as well. Everything went perfectly on schedule and all the crazy ideas that we had came to life with no issues! It was truly the best day of our lives and it wouldn’t have been possible without McKenna’s help! I could write so much more on how incredible Events by McKenna is, but to sum it all up, they are the best choice for your wedding planning and coordinating needs and you will not regret choosing them for your big day!!

The Moon Units: Weddings & Events 
Rating: 5.0 (32 reviews)
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $3,900
  • Serves South Pasadena, CA

Hi, we're The Moon Units! We're known throughout California for our 650+ song list, our authentic on-stage chemistry, and performances that clients have called "better than the original bands" that recorded the songs. And because we're a real band, we offer prices that are just a fraction of what corporate booking agencies charge. We can't wait to play for you!

Awarded Best of Zola
The Moon Units made my wedding. It all started when my wife (fiancee at the time) forwarded me an Instagram clip of them because she knew I was set on hiring a live band. I took my sweet time to cast a wide net and to follow, interview, and compare A LOT of bands. We went out to watch our top two choices and when we saw The Moon Units' positive energy, ability to rock the crowd, and musical skill, we immediately knew that they were meant to be our band (just like when we saw the venue we wanted, we just knew). They are highly accommodating, musically versatile, and truly professional, Hollywood type performers who will seal the deal on upgrading your wedding from already great to one of the greatest your guests have ever been to. The three things that most impressed me about them during my wedding were: 1) they gave it their all on every song whether there were two people on the dance floor or the whole group (and believe me, your guests will notice this too), 2) they were able to improvise to seamlessly integrate with all my other vendors and moving parts without any interruptions, as if my wedding was truly an entertainment production, and 3) whether they were singing rock, hiphop (yacht version), metal, r&b, pop, Kpop, oldies, or jazz, they performed as if it was their main genre. We requested them to learn two of our favorite songs that we loved but were skeptical that they could perform because of how hard they were to sing, and man did they prove us wrong! Each of the musicians are friendly, multi talented/multi instrument, down to earth people who love what they do and have a great time performing. They output pure sound candy and also look great doing it. Your stage will be glammed up and filled out, and your guests will compliment and remember your band choice even more than your food, I guarantee it. My wife and I are now semi-groupies (and I'm not ashamed as their gigs take me back to the best night of my life), and we aren't the only ones! That's something that no Youtube clip or online review can really convey. Good luck and have a great time wedding planning, but hire The Moon Units!!!

From the initial design to the day-of delivery, she and her team are dedicated to creating the wedding of your dreams—piece by piece.

Awarded Best of Zola
Ingrid is one of the greatest planners we have had the pleasure of working with in this industry. One of her couples recently used our company, which provides faux floral rentals, to couples looking to save on flowers for their big day. Her responsiveness and impeccable attention to detail truly set her apart from most others in the wedding space, and she does so with such precision and empathy. Timeliness and thoughtfulness are extremely difficult to juggle when it comes to weddings that have so many moving parts, yet Ingrid’s unique capability to execute on both fronts makes her such an asset to work with. Her consistent, on-the-dot responsiveness completely took care of every single question leading up to the event date, and we never had to worry about getting an answer back on anything, which is so rare and deeply appreciated. We worked with Grand Entrance Affairs on a wedding happening on the Queen Mary, which is known to be a logistically more complex venue in terms of setup and weather conditions on the water. Ingrid ensured that all potential hiccups were accounted for long before the event, and has a unique gift for taking care of every single detail and deadline in a way that only someone with profound love and experience can pull off. She has the ability to juggle many different temperaments, extreme time constraints, and a million moving pieces and transforms them all into an unforgettable and beautiful event. She and her team truly embody white glove service and thoughtful attention to detail every step of the way. We will be referring her to all of our clients moving forward.

Checkout my LinkTree for upcoming events, more reviews, and to visit my instagram. Let's team up and create memories! It is important for me to articulate, that I serve ALL PEOPLE EQUITABLY!! However, I do want to note that I do require that the couple has a Day of Coordinator (not the venue coordinator as they are different). Otherwise, I will also charge for coordination services as that puts the burden of day of logistics on the DJ.

Literally from the first interaction, Trey was thoroughly professional. We knew instantly that we'd be in good hands during the process, and he maintained through the big day. With Trey, we always had clarity over next steps, and we also got as much flexibility as we could ever hope for. We had a slightly unusual (or, unconventional) ceremony in a couple of ways, and Trey handled every request without any issue. Lastly, and most importantly for a DJ, he nailed the music. We felt like he "got" us while also filling in the gaps appropriately. A true professional, and we feel fortunate having him on the deck for our celebration.

Thank you, Carlos, for helping make our wedding unforgettable!

I could not be happier with my experience working with Natasha at Dream Co. She served as the day-of coordinator for my wedding, and I truly cannot imagine the day without her support.

The most frequent compliment we receive about our wedding is how great the music was and that is 100% thanks to Dart Collective. Their strings for the ceremony were PERFECT and set such a great tone for the start of our day. Special shout out to the crew for learning What's New Puy Cat so I could live every bride's dream of walking down the aisle to Tom Jones :). But the real show stealer were The Shrines who absolutely KILLED IT during our reception! And also learned some bangers at our request. I truly did not sit down once because their song list was so incredible! I cannot overstate how spectacular they made our wedding and how I would hire them again in an instant. Do yourself and your wedding guests a favor and book them! Also, if you can swing it definitely go for the three horn players!

I truly can’t say enough amazing things about Carissa and her team at Positively Charming Weddings. She was the very first vendor I hired for my wedding, a year and a half in advance. Within the first 2 minutes of chatting with Carissa the first time, I knew we were the perfect match. She is incredibly organized, compassionate, an amazing listener, and isn’t afraid to take the lead and make decisions when necessary. She is thoughtful, calm, has a wealth of wedding industry knowledge and was able to provide personalized suggestions based on my preferences at every turn. To be honest, I was originally super nervous and anxious to hire a wedding planner, as I am a very type A person because of my job as a programs and event planner. But Carissa exceeded all expectations and truly was able to allow me to relax and enjoy my wedding weekend without a worry in the world. She was a problem solver every step of the way. For example, she offered to manually fixed my seating chart the day before the wedding and found a print shop willingly to print very specific last minute signage (both things that were my fault that they were delayed/wrong). She kept not only me, but my husband and both families on track leading up to the wedding, provided monthly checklists, was available via phone and email for my questions, and even provided bridal party itineraries the weekend of. Her and her team were incredibly easy to work with, and our other vendors and bridal party members said the exact same thing. She can work with anyone, with any personality type, and makes you feel important and heard. If you want someone to go above and beyond for you, look no further! She will make your day everything YOU want it to be. Couldn’t recommend her and her team more…I walked away with a new friend!

We absolutely loved working with Cristian and Victoria for both our engagement and wedding photos and videos. They were incredibly kind, helpful, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. Our engagement photos and video were turned around so quickly, within about a week, which was such a nice surprise. Our wedding photos took a bit longer, but it was more than worth the wait. We received over 900 stunning photos along with a 10-minute wedding video, and the quality and editing were absolutely beautiful. The photos are so timeless, truly captured our day perfectly, and we are absolutely obsessed with them. We look at them all the time!! Every image felt thoughtful and beautifully done, and they truly captured the best memories from our day. They were also extremely flexible and accommodating since we were planning from out of state, which made everything feel seamless and stress-free. We’re so grateful to have these memories captured so perfectly and couldn’t recommend Cristian and Victoria more highly. Thank you from the Rawsons!!

We were incredibly thrilled with the floral arrangements from Something's Blooming for our wedding! From start to finish, Michelle and her team truly exceeded our expectations. Two years ago, we had the good fortune of meeting her when she did my sister's wedding. It was absolutely stunning so we knew we were in good hands. I appreciated that Michelle took the time to understand our vision and listened to all of our ideas and preferences, while also offering creative suggestions that really enhanced our overall aesthetic. We also got to be part of the floral picking process which was so fun! The entire team was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to every detail. On the big day, the flowers were nothing short of breathtaking! The bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, centerpieces, and ceremony arrangements were even more beautiful than we could have imagined. The colors were vibrant, the blooms fresh, and the overall look was absolutely stunning. Our vision was "if wine and fall could have a baby, that would be our wedding!” and she delivered. Through the color pallet, the variety of flowers & foliage, fantasy pumpkins, and lanterns, our concept was brought to life. Our guests couldn’t stop commenting on how gorgeous everything was! Their attention to detail was impeccable — from the intricately crafted pocket square for the groom and ring bearer to the lush arrangements at the altar. Everything was perfect. We were deeply appreciative of how seamless the delivery, ceremony setup, and transition to reception went. It felt like magic seeing it all come to life. Both my husband and I work in the entertainment industry ourselves and we know how much work goes into weddings. Knowing we had professionals handling this part of the process allowed us to sit back and enjoy the day. If you're looking for a florist who truly understands your vision and delivers stunning, high-quality flowers, we highly recommend Somethings Blooming. They made our wedding day feel even more magical! Thank you again for making our wedding day so special!
