You've probably heard of the one and only Taylor, a.k.a. Taytay (yes, he adores the nickname, so feel free to use it during your first consultation for bonus points!). Our paths crossed about six years ago, and let me tell you, I couldn't be more grateful! After working with him coincidentally a couple of times, I knew he was destined for my "A-list."
Over the years, Taylor and his lovely wife Brittany have become more than just friends – they're practically family! We've developed an almost telepathic connection, effortlessly understanding each other with just a glance across the room. It's a dynamic that makes working together an absolute dream.
Speaking of dreams, Taylor's dedication to his craft and genuine care for collaboration has made him a standout among videographers. Sadly, I've had some not-so-great experiences with others who didn't share the same team spirit. So, when my couples ask for a videographer, you bet I'm crossing my fingers and hoping they book with Taytay! Trust me; it'll make your special day even more seamless and enjoyable.
And as if his incredible work isn't enough, Taylor's mouthwatering smoked briskets and scrumptious homemade sourdough bread will have you swooning! All in all, I can't recommend him highly enough for an unforgettable, stress-free experience.

get pampered
Veronica is a total gem and one of the main reasons I chose Southside on Lamar as my new home. How convenient is it to just roll out of bed, stroll down the hallway, and have my hair transformed by a magical hairstylist? Her salon is like entering another dimension – trust me, it's unlike any salon you've ever experienced!
I could go on and on about Veronica's amazing personality, but for now, let's focus on her mad hair skills. She's the ONLY person I trust with my Eastern European/Middle Eastern mane. After too many stylists left my hair fried, Veronica worked her magic and brought it back to life. Though she's known for her incredible rainbow colors, she can seriously do it all – and do it well!
Oh, and did I mention you'll get to snuggle her awesome wolfdog, Jasper, while you're there? It's a win-win-win: fabulous hair, a fantastic stylist, and fluffy cuddles!
We worked with Yari and her team too many times for weddings and sessions here at my studio. She and her team consistently do a fantastic job, and there aren't words to describe my gratitude for her taking care of my amazing clients. You can ensure you and your wedding party will be in great hands. Also, you should book a trial with her for your engagement session with me. This will show you how it is to work with and get to know her better.
Did I mention this chick has her cosmetic line? Yes! So definitely check her out!
My initial encounter with Zirrius occurred in the elevator of our Southside on Lamar building. I had just moved in, and upon entering the elevator, I was immediately struck by the sight of Zirrius and his professional barber gear – trimmers, scissors, combs, and more – secured to a harness on his chest, making him look like a badass. Having just completed a house call, he exuded a commanding presence. In the brief 15 seconds, we shared the elevator, I knew I had to secure his contact information. It's been over two years, and without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend Zirrius to anyone seeking top-notch grooming services. His meticulous attention to detail and dedication to exceptional results are unparalleled, and his ability to provide on-location services will ensure a stress-free experience on your wedding day.
Getting pampered on the wedding day is not reserved for the ladies. Call him. Trust me. You can thank me later.

Officiant
David is one of a kind gem in our industry and I don't know where to begin.
ATTN: Bragging ahead!
My friendship with David started on Facebook, where his presence in industry groups caught my eye. In 2019, when he worked for a foundation supporting our homeless neighbors, I stumbled upon a post about an event they were hosting, and I eagerly volunteered.
Within seconds of meeting David in person, his energy and warmth had me hooked. I remember saying, "Hey David! I'm Tara, from Facebook... the photographer?" And despite the event's chaos, he came over with a big smile, exclaiming, "Heeey Tara! We finally meet in person!" That's the kind of guy David is—always making time for people.
David has earned my never-ending love and respect. He embodies what it means to be a caring, loving, and accepting religious messenger. If love, peace, and harmony were a person, that'd be David. As an agnostic atheist who believes in living harmoniously and making the most of our human experience, it's not every day that I feel welcomed by religious folks. But David is different – his energy is genuine, and you can't help but trust that his intentions are as pure as his heart.
Having David officiate your wedding means having a heartfelt ceremony filled with love, laughter, and acceptance. He's the real deal and will make your special day unforgettable!
From the moment I met Stefani at a wedding back in 2017, I knew she was something special. Her infectious energy and warm demeanor instantly put everyone at ease. Stefani's bubbly personality and radiant spirit make her the perfect addition to any ceremony, infusing the occasion with joy and positivity.
Her genuine emotional investment in her couples ensures a seamless, tailored experience that truly reflects their unique love story. What sets Stefani apart is her dedication to crafting personalized ceremonies for each couple she works with, rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether you're dreaming of a light-hearted, laughter-filled celebration or a more traditional, heartfelt exchange of vows, Stefani has the versatility and expertise to bring your vision to life.
With her passion for creating unforgettable moments, I have no doubt that she'd fit right in at our next D&D session too, embracing the theatrical elements and delivering a flawless performance. Simply put, Stefani is a dedicated professional who will make your special day truly unforgettable.

Prepare to be swept away by the beauty of her floral creations and the inviting ambiance of her shop. Even if, like me, you don't consider yourself a flower enthusiast, you can't help but be charmed by Tammy's stunning arrangements and infectious enthusiasm.
Don't miss the opportunity to visit her shop and experience firsthand the happy, bubbly vibes that Tammy and her work exude. It's a delightful treat for your senses and any occasion you are planning.
