They also offer planning services for a fee. I've only been once to check out the vendor portfolios and once for a bride mixer party. The vendor lists are short, only a few for each category so you don't get confused, but you also may not find the right one that fit your needs, so don't expect to get everything done here. The bride mixer i went to was awesome, we got to meet some great vendors. It's also a free event. I had a great time, and meet some vendors that I didn't even think of looking for. This place is great if you are just starting out your planning process. Plus the space is so cute!

I chose to do a boudoir photo shoot for my 10th wedding anniversary (really the 11th, because…read moreeverything for our 10th was postponed due to COVID in 2020). This process was so much fun, from beginning to end! I definitely recommend inquiring about dates of availability at least 2-3 months in advance, just so you're sure you have everything ready by your deadline. It's a small, female-owned business (woohoo!), and the dedication and attention to detail they put into giving you a final product you can be proud of is well worth the time. The day of the photo shoot, I enjoyed having my makeup and hair done by a professional makeup artist. She asked if I had any inspiration photos or features I wanted to highlight, and she had TONS of high-end cosmetics in her arsenal to play with, which made me feel even fancier, LOL. Afterward, I had plenty of options in their style closet to choose from -- with plenty of sizes available for all body types! -- in addition to some of my own bra sets that I brought with me. (All of their garments are professionally dry-cleaned after each shoot; I recommend bringing your own sexy undies in different colors and cuts, and you can select bras, bustiers, stockings, etc., that compliment your pieces!) I was a bit nervous starting out, but Katrina (the photographer) really puts you at ease, and you become more confident as the session moves along. It was only the two of us in the entire space that morning after the MUA left, which also helped me. She asked what I had in mind ("subtle sexiness") before we began, and she's open to however much or little skin you're okay with showing. You never feel pushed to do anything that you're not comfortable with. Katrina has years of professional experience shooting boudoir photography, and she truly knows how to make ALL bodies look beautiful with tons of pose ideas, lighting edits, etc. I had an idea for a silhouette shot I saw on Pinterest, and she was happy to move the space around and play with the lights to achieve what I wanted. (That particular shot became my personal favorite!) She really makes sure you FEEL as gorgeous as you look, which you can see in your photos. After the session, Kara does incredible work touching up your shots beautifully and making sure you have plenty of options when you return to select your photo package. (I had more than 100 photos in hand, all professionally edited and printed ahead of time, to look through and find my favorites.) As part of my package selection, I received a gorgeous photo book, digital copies of the photos, and an 11x14 print .The print was a gift to myself that I will hang in our master bathroom to remind myself that I am a sexy woman. :) I gave the photo book to my husband on our anniversary this week, and he must have looked at it front to back at least five times in silent concentration before he put it down with a gigantic smile on his face! Boudoir photography is a FANTASTIC gift idea, not only for a significant other, but also for yourself. Ladies, our bodies are strong and soft and gorgeous exactly as they are right this very second, and you are worth being made to feel as beautiful as you are! I was so grateful for the confidence boost that came as a result of this session. I recommend Katrina, Kara, and Boudoir at the LOFT with all my heart!

After conducting lengthy research for a photo booth company for my wedding, I finally settled on…read moreSplit Second Photo Booth. I found their business from Thumbtack and the booking process was fast and easy because of how quickly Jacob responded. They have a great selection of beautiful backgrounds and an assortment of props for any event. They even have an indoor or outdoor booth option and the option to add an album for your guests to add their strips to sign as a guest book. We opted for the indoor silver sequin booth with the black album. They also designed the templates for our photo strips, using elements that we requested when we made our reservation online. Their website was also super easy to use to select what we wanted and make our payments (via credit card!). You can also browse their extensive gallery of templates they've made so you can choose what elements you want to incorporate. You can even choose between 3- or 4-pose vertical strips or post cards. The only thing that made me nervous was that our template wasn't drafted until 11 days before our wedding date, but Jacob is very professional and took care of us very well. We didn't like the first design we received, and Jacob made it super easy to request specific edits to make sure we got exactly what we wanted for our special day. He made us a second draft within an hour of sending the first draft and it was drastically better! We were so impressed and after a couple of more rounds of edits, we were very happy with our end result. Luke was our photo booth attendant, and he was great. He was punctual, friendly, and professional. I had absolutely no worries about the photo booth breaking down at all during our reception. We reserved it for 4 hours to start at the beginning of our cocktail hour and it was plenty of time for our 110 guests to take plenty of photos without a huge line and they got to go through it multiple times. If 4 hours hadn't been enough time, it would have been easy to add time at a reasonable rate of $50/30 minutes. The guests LOVED the photo booth, even the props. We got so many compliments on it during the reception and in the weeks following! Not only did the guests get to print two strips each, but they also got high quality digital copies as strips or GIFs. They also delivered high quality digital copies of all of the pictures to us as strips, GIFs and the originals of each pose. Seriously, I can't say enough great things about Split Second Photo Booth. I still can't believe how reasonably priced they are for the quality of service you get! Plus, they were one of the few vendors that did their jobs perfectly on our wedding day and they did not give me any stress at all. I'm going to recommend them to my friends for future weddings and events!

My husband and I picked Affordable Photography for our wedding because we knew a friend using him…read morefor their upcoming wedding. We loved his work because he did a ton of fun photos that weren't the cheesy posed photos a lot of photographers do. We wanted our photos to capture our true personalities and not be fake looking. He had about 700 photos for us to view and they were all amazing. We were really happy with his work. He has a ton of albums in his studio for you to view. There were several photos I requested of him and he did each one! Our package also came with engagement photos and they turned out fabulous! It was so hard to pick out a favorite because they were all so great. Just like his name.....affordable. A lot of other photographers wanted $2000-5000 for photos and we didn't want to spend that on photos. Our package was right around $1500 and we got a ton of pics. Another perk you have the dvd of all photos, so you don't have to worry about bugging him every time you need a print! Thanks Derek!
