She caught pictures of the sweetest little details that I never would have thought to document, and her editing is gorgeous. Beyond that, she's kind, professional, she gives direction (and we needed it!) in a way that's very natural and comfortable, and her pricing is beyond reasonable. We are so happy that we had Cameron shoot our wedding. Would highly recommend Houtsma Photo and Film to anyone looking to memorialize extra special days or events!

Cameron is an absolute treat to work with. We've worked with her on several different occasions and…read moreevery time we're more than happy with the experience and results! Cameron really cares about capturing your moments exactly the way you want and she's always captured from even more points than I could have thought to ask for. The Houstma Photo & Film team is such a dynamic duo, I would highly recommend having them capture your event with their videography services as well. They do such a great job of capturing every single angle. I started working with them at our wedding and they are now our top pick for every photoshoot or life event!

Sunny was excellent! She met me at her salon on her day off and was very pleasant. She had me put…read moreon my wig so that she could style it properly. Previously, a different hair stylist tried styling it when it was still on the stand. Sunny asked me how I usually had my hair and discussed what she was about to do. Communication continued to confirm that what she was doing was okay with me. When completed, it looked really good! Next, she washed my hair and began cutting it. She explained what she was doing and why. She taught me a breathing exercise and began massaging my scalp. Felt so good! When she was finished, I happily left with a well styled wig and a wash and wear haircut.

What is meant to be the most exciting day of your life is often the most stressful…read more The flow of your wedding, the needs of the guests, and trying to stay on schedule all distract you from enjoying your big day. It may not seem like it, but the venue you choose greatly impacts your stress levels. Pick a good venue, and your wedding will run smoothly, pick a bad venue, and it will be chaos. Maplehurst Farms is designed to simplify your wedding experience so that all you have to do is enjoy the ride. We were skeptical at first about paying a big price tag for a venue. I always joked that I've never done this before--getting married, that is--and I didn't know what we needed, how much it should cost, and whether or not we were getting ripped off for the sake of "marriage" like so many other services you have to pay for. We decided to get married at Maplehurst because it is a beautiful venue. Everything went off without a hitch and it was a perfect experience. All of our memories are of looking deeply into each others eyes, dancing under the lights. And we owe much of that to the amenities that the venue offers. Everything at the venue is designed to make your wedding easier. They have countless decorations, furniture, and place-setting options that can be used to set up the barn for a uniquely beautiful reception that fits your style. They have a guest house on location where you and your wedding party can stay for several nights leading up to the wedding day. This allowed us to stage food and decorations and it greatly simplified the logistics of the wedding day, letting us focus on getting ready and enjoying our champagne, rather than worrying about traffic and timing. The best part of our wedding was having all of our friends and family celebrating together, and staying in the guest house with our wedding party was one of the highlights. They have a great team of people who are there to serve and support you. They accommodated all of our questions and needs, helped us source local services like caterers and the makeup artist, and they cleaned up the venue after we were done. The owner, Jessie, understands that this once in a lifetime experience can be stressful or beautiful -- and everything about the venue and the services they provide is designed to make your day simple and special. If you want your wedding to be an unforgettable experience with none of the hassle or stress, Maplehurst is the venue you should choose!
