Awarded Best of Zola
So with less than 45 days till our wedding we decided that we definitely wanted a videographer for our day even though it was a small wedding with less than 50 people and did not to just have photos. So with so little time left before the big day I stumbled across Albert of JES Wedding films messaged to see if he even had our date available. Thankfully he did and with so little time left coordinated everything. On wedding Day he arrived early and wanted to make sure he had everything ready and set up. He was so easy to work with and so very kind our photographers enjoyed working with him as well. When we got our video I cried. He captured our day and all the small details that I want to remember from that day. Everyone that has seen it has gotten emotional as well when seeing it. We at least can sum up our day and show family and friends that weren’t present. Thank you Albert for capturing and showing a different perspective of our day.

My wife, Summer, was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in 2024. This year, I decided to apply to Wish Upon a Wedding in hopes of giving Summer the day she always hoped for. Wish Upon a Wedding is a nonprofit organization that gifts weddings and vow renewals to couples facing terminal or life-changing illnesses. When they came into our lives, Summer and I were in a season where joy felt complicated and hope looked very different than we imagined. Through Wish Upon a Wedding, we were paired with our wedding planner, Married by Mariella. Mariella donated her time, talent, and heart completely free of charge. What’s important to say is that Mariella didn’t just coordinate our vow renewal. She planned it from the ground up, picking every single vendor and executing the day completely. She took Summer’s vision and brought it to life with care, intention, and deep respect for what this moment meant to us. Every detail reflected the image Summer and I had hoped for, and Mariella carried that responsibility with such grace. She led with compassion and patience, making the process feel calm and supported rather than overwhelming. There was never pressure, never rushing, and never an expectation for us to pretend things were easy. Because of Wish Upon a Wedding and Mariella’s selfless generosity, Summer and I were able to stand together, renew our vows, and experience joy without guilt in the middle of a very heavy season. Mariella and Rachael made this the best day of our lives. We will always be grateful, not just for a beautiful day, but for a memory we will carry for the rest of our lives.

Hands down the best wedding decision we made was hiring Nacho - and my husband says it all the time! Nacho is incredibly talented at getting the perfect shots but his service is so much more than his photography. He seamlessly fits whatever role is needed in the moment - handling stressful family situations, helping navigate busy timelines, keeping things moving and bringing a genuine “good energy” to the day. He showed up as our photographer but ended the day as everyone’s favorite person. My 4 year old niece still asks about him every day! He leaves a lasting impression and his photos truly capture every moment and emotion that we all want to remember from our wedding days. (Side note: he is very talented at understanding lighting and I’m blown away at how well he captured the natural sunlight during golden hour.) I am beyond thankful that we hired Nacho and highly recommend him for any event or wedding. Extra: Our photography package included an engagement shoot. However, on the day of the shoot a hurricane came through Florida and we had to cancel so Nacho offered us a photo book after the wedding. And let me tell you, this photo book isn’t just any photo book. The quality is unlike anything I have seen. It truly is an heirloom-quality memory book with thick, archival cardstock pages. I highly encourage you to add on Nacho’s photo books if you can!

Wellman & Co Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the moment we first spoke with them, Rebecca and her team were prompt, helpful, and incredibly knowledgeable, guiding us through every step of the process. On the day of the wedding, they were professional, efficient, and produced excellent results. Rebecca and her team kept us on schedule, were encouraging when my nerves started to show, and even helped my not-so-photogenic husband feel comfortable during the photos. The final photos are absolutely stunning - the dreamiest shots that we will proudly display in our home for years to come. Wellman & Co gave us the wedding photography experience we had dreamed of having, and I would recommend them to any couple looking for a talented, kind, and friendly photography team.

I care deeply about your experience and I hope that your wedding day feels fun and unforgettable. I anticipate moments before they happen; like a burst of laughter or a tearful reaction. That's how I capture genuine emotions. I help my couples avoid feeling overwhelmed on their wedding day. I offer guidance when needed, but also know when to step back so you can be fully present in the moment knowing that your wedding photos are in good hands.

Andy was so great to work with! My husband and I were very comfortable talking with him and having our pictures taken by him. Both the candid-type photos and the posed photos turned out incredible. He made all the photos look so colorful and beautiful, which is exactly what we wanted. We would absolutely recommend light up photography to any couple looking for a photographer.

We loved working with Graingertainment for our wedding! We booked them through a concierge package with our venue, Haus 820, almost 1.5 years out from the wedding, and our experience with them was amazing from start to finish! One of my favorite parts was having access to Graingertainment’s planning portal, which allowed us to slowly build out our timeline and song preferences throughout the entire planning process. Their timeline was incredibly detailed and helped us think through every step of the day from an MC and music-perspective, which made planning feel much more manageable. A few weeks before the wedding, our DJ, Antonio, reached out to connect with us. From our very first phone call, it was clear that he was a true professional. On the wedding day, he exceeded our expectations in every way. He honored all of our requests while also intuitively reading the room and adjusting to the energy of the crowd. Everything felt seamless. We had countless guests come up to us saying how much they loved the music and that they had never had so much fun at a wedding before. We truly credit so much of that to Antonio and Graingertainment for keeping the vibe going all night long. We would 1000% recommend Graingertainment, and especially Antonio, to anyone looking for a smooth, fun, and unforgettable wedding night.
