From the moment we met Jenny, we knew we were in incredibly capable hands. She was the epitome of…read moreprofessionalism, yet she also felt like an old friend guiding us through the process. What truly set Jenny apart was her meticulous attention to detail - she thought of absolutely everything, showing her deep knowledge and expertise. Her experience working in the Roaring Fork Valley also allowed us to plan our wedding in a condensed timeline, connecting with vendors easily and moving through the steps more quickly than we would have on our own or with someone not local. She navigated the curveball of a late April Aspen snowstorm with ease and our guests haven't stopped talking about how our wedding was one of the most memorable (in the best way possible!) they've attended. She brought our vision of a relaxed yet elegant ceremony and reception to life and we are so grateful!

She was amazing to work with during every step involved in the planning process. From our very first meeting I instantly felt at ease and knew that we were in the best of hands. Jenny comes with an impressive background in event planning. She knows the in's and the out's of the industry and has amazing resources that aided in keeping us on track and organized. Just when I thought that Jenny couldn't get any better...she literally saved the day for our ceremony! Our DJ got stuck in traffic on his way to Vail and was unfortunately not able to make it to our wedding. We found out the news approximately two hours prior to our ceremony start time. Needless to say, I was panicking...but Jenny wasn't. She calmly approached me to fill me in on the situation. I very clearly remember her telling me "I've got this. Give me some time and I will find a replacement." Within FIVE MINUTES we had a new DJ hired. I cannot speak enough regarding the importance of hiring local vendors who know the area and have connections in the area. Jenny didn't stop assisting us once our wedding was over either as she assisted us in negotiations with the DJ for a reimbursement. I will never be able to thank Jenny enough. I went from being incredibly overwhelmed planning a destination wedding to feeling so at ease and confident with the professionals that I hired. It is an incredible thing seeing your vision come to life and I truly don't think my vision could have been executed without Jenny's help! Now that my dream wedding has come and gone I feel even more grateful to have made an amazing friend in the process.

They helped point him in the right direction including the best locations for the proposal, dropped pins on where the location was and provided example photos of the view. They were there through every step of the planning process with him so he knew exactly where to be come game time. During the actual proposal, Lydia & T did a great job of capturing every moment while also making us feel like it was just the two of us. I didn't even realize they were there until after the proposal. After the fact, they had champagne flutes ready for us and more. I was in complete shock after the proposal but they helped guide us with where to take photos, how to pose, ring pictures and even got some action shots skiing. The whole proposal itself was just a whirlwind so it was amazing having them both there to guide us. We were very excited to get our photos back and it was safe to say they far exceeded our expectations! We can't stop staring at them! They truly made our families feel like they were there with us and allow us to relive our engagement every day. Simply cannot recommend them enough!!

I knew working with Marta was going to be so much fun right from our first conversation. She guided me in choosing the right package for my needs and I appreciate that she asked me questions that made my creative thoughts start to flow. By the time we ended our consult conversation, I felt like we were both excited about my day. She is a delightful combination of sunshine, calmness, and positivity amidst all the chaos that a wedding day brings. Not only was Marta an amazing added positive energy to the experience, her eye and ability to capture the moments within the moments is so beautifully pictured in our photos. I felt so confident that her eye was on the lookout for all of those tiny details and even our preview shots showed that so perfectly. I cannot wait for our paths to cross again.

We were lucky to have an initial meeting with her in person at the venue in CA, since we live in NC. She listened to what we wanted, and created a detailed proposal for all the arrangements, with photos of the flower choices, which was really helpful. After signing the contract, we were pretty hands-off. I was nervous about not being able to see the flowers until the wedding day, but I am so glad I just trusted in her, and we were blown away by the results. I really think Keegan successfully designed arrangements that reflected our personality and helped make our wedding unique and beautiful. Our mothers were so happy! Thank you, Keegan! (+) Easy to work with/communicate with via email, very responsive and thorough when answering questions (+) Great about sending photos as examples when clarifying items in the contract (+) She was able to use all of our favorite flowers that we requested in the arrangements (+) Stunning arrangements were the real wow factor and our guests were all impressed (+) We trusted her creative expertise, and the floral colors and textures turned out amazing together (+) We sent her samples of the bridesmaids dress color and tie colors for the groom and groomsmen, and she was able to use ribbons that were an exact match (+) When she delivered the flowers on the wedding day, she even gave us tips on how to hold the bouquets during the ceremony (-) The only thing we were not 100% satisfied with were the floral garlands. We had hoped they would have more/larger flowers, given the price. They were more leaf garlands with small orchids, but were definitely a nice touch.

We had an initial phone consultation with Keegan and explained what style and arrangements we were looking to incorporate into our special day. From that meeting we created a Pinterest board to share with her. She quickly put a document together with her ideas and quotes. From the document we could tell she absolutely nailed the style we were looking for. She provided a bridal bouquet, bridesmaids bouquets, boutonnieres, flower girl head bands and baskets, centerpieces, garland for our sweetheart table, altar flowers, flowers for the pews, and cake flowers. We even had her decorate a wagon we bought on Etsy for our ring bearer to pull our pet turtle down the aisle. We visited her studio in Oakland to go over final details and to drop off our wagon and flower girl baskets so she could decorate them.

Michele Cardamone is more than a photographer--she's someone who captures the heart of a moment and…read morepreserves it in a way that feels genuinely sacred. I've had the privilege of doing several sessions with Michele over the years, and the value of her work has only grown with time. She has photographed my family in a way that truly reflects who we are, including some of the most meaningful pictures I have of me and my grandma. My grandma has since passed, and I cannot put into words how much those photos mean to me now. They are treasured, irreplaceable reminders of love, connection, and presence--and I'm endlessly grateful Michele had the gift of capturing that so beautifully. Michele has also been there through different seasons of my life. She took photos of me as a teenager, and most recently, she photographed me as I stepped into the final stage of my career path--transitioning into a nurse practitioner. What sets Michele apart is how she makes you feel. I'm naturally shy in front of a camera, but she creates an environment that feels safe, uplifting and even powerful!She has a way of bringing out your true self--helping you feel comfortable, confident, and beautiful without anything feeling forced. Honestly, working with Michele feels like a form of self-love. Getting your photos back--of you, your family, your milestones-- is such a gift. For me it helped me see my family from and outside perspective- and for my solo sessions, it actually increased my self confidence and self love! Her editing is timeless and stunning, but what I love most is that she never edits out the realness. She captures emotion, connection, and the little in-between moments that make a photo feel alive. If you're considering booking with Michele, do it. I would recommend her for any photography needs, without hesitation. You'll walk away with more than "pictures"--you'll have memories preserved with care, artistry, and so much heart
