I asked around to so many people for wedding photographer recommendations and all that I heard were complaints and when I researched on my own I came to the quick realization that it was possible that we wouldn't be able to afford a good photographer (crazy crazy expensive!) Ashely was so easy to work with and gave us such an amazing price that it seemed too good to be true. But the pictures that she gave us (so quickly) looked like they came out of a magazine. Unbelievable quality that I don't think that I will ever stop getting constant compliments on them. Through the whole process from booking her to choosing a spot for bridal party pictures (for 28 people....) she was so easy to work with and helpful with ideas. On the day of the wedding, she went above and beyond and was there for everything and more than I expected. Made everyone feel comfortable and came up with great posing. But the best part.... we barely knew she was there she covered everything seamlessly without pestering us at all. I could not have asked for more.

We hired Ginger and Peach (Andrea and Peri) for wedding coordination services at our venue, but our…read moreexperience was extremely disappointing and distressing. Throughout the planning process, they frequently complained about or questioned our preferences instead of offering helpful solutions. On the wedding day, they were not proactive with setup tasks and failed to assist with important logistical details. While they were somewhat helpful at the ceremony rehearsal, their support ended there. During setup the day before, they were supposed to stay and help, but one coordinator stayed for only about an hour, while my family and I were there for three. During that time, while we were rushing to get everything done, she moved slowly and unwrapped a few candles. She did not come prepared, ready to anticipate needs, or willing to take initiative. Their only meaningful contribution the day of the wedding was setting up the chairs that had been delivered. After that, they left the premises without our knowledge to go get dressed -- during a time when setup and coordination were still in full swing. Later, they also left during dinner service, which is one of the most critical parts of the evening for coordination and oversight. We later found out from our bartenders (who are also our friends) that the coordinators told them they "left during dinner to go scream to God for help." One of our guests also heard them shouting to God outside during this time. That comment and behavior -- combined with their lack of professionalism and failure to fulfill their responsibilities -- was deeply disappointing and inappropriate. Even worse, they complained about me to the bartenders, calling me a "bitch" and mocking us for practicing our faith -- all because I expected them to uphold their contractual duties, such as receiving the flowers and completing the setup. In the middle of dinner, Peri approached me -- in front of my entire table -- to ask about paying the bartenders. It was an incredibly inappropriate and disruptive moment, especially during what should have been a private and peaceful part of the evening. I later learned from one of the bartenders that she had already told Peri that the payment was taken care of, making the interruption not only unprofessional but entirely unnecessary. They also walked up to my sister-in-law in the middle of dinner to tell her to clean out the church, even though she was a guest and had no involvement in the planning. This task was part of the coordinators' own responsibilities, and asking a guest to do it was both disrespectful and unacceptable. Because they failed to coordinate as promised, my parents and brothers had to step in during the reception -- at one point even passing out cheese to guests themselves, something that should have been managed by the coordination team. There is no reason this should have happened, especially as I had hired six staff members to assist with the buffet dinner setup. Their behavior was unprofessional, disrespectful, and negligent. Instead of helping the day run smoothly, they added unnecessary stress and left us and our family scrambling to fill the gaps they left behind. I would strongly advise anyone to think twice before hiring this team.

There are so many choices that need to be made to make your wedding an unforgettable night…read more.. I can confidently say the best decision I made for my wedding was to work with Andréa and Parian of Ginger Peach to help me plan and coordinate my wedding. Let's set the scene... I'm an out of state bride planning a wedding from thousands of miles away. I'm overwhelmed with dealing with choices for vendors, dealing with work stress up to my ears, while simultaneously planning a two week trip to Japan for our honeymoon. I decided it was time for help. I joined a local Facebook group and immediately connected with Andréa who gave me thoughtful and helpful feedback that helped calm my anxiety-ridden state. I immediately knew that I wanted to reach out to her to see if her team was available. In a stroke of luck they were! Over the months that I connected with the Ginger Peach team, they were able to proactively connect with my vendors, ask all the right questions, seamlessly troubleshooted the problems that came up with ease (I forgot to pack my table numbers, the moms were very late to the ceremony, and one of my bridesmaids had to drop out to illness to name a few), they decorated for the day of my event, and even created my stunning centerpieces. I had the most amazing wedding day and I have received so many compliments on my wedding. Looking back I realize I had very little stress. I owe much of that to my decision to work with Ginger Peach. If you're on the fence, I urge you...or plead with you. Do yourself a favor and hire this team. When you look back you'll realize how priceless it is to have a team on your side helping to keep things running smoothly and ensuring you have the most fabulous day of your life.

I had never taken my kids (5 and 2) to a professional photographer before. After looking at the pictures on her website, I felt confident that Lynn could do the trick. Lynn e-mailed me instructions on what to bring the day of the sitting. I came prepared with outfit changes, and two pretty energetic children. So energetic that I was sure that the pictures that I was going to get back were not going to be what I was looking for. I could not have been more wrong! With all of the bouncing around they did, Lynn managed to catch moments where you they looked like they were asked to pose for a picture in magazine! At one point my daughter actually ripped out her hair bow. Lynn went with it, and those pictures turned out to be favorite ones! They were very candid, and very much her personality. The pictures of my son were no different! She has a knack for capturing the natural moments. I would highly recommend her, and would defitinitely use her again. She did an excellent job!
