Kylie does not have a YELP listing for her wedding photography, so I am posting it here (as well as…read morefor the photo booth that Kylie does with her brother Max) Searching for wedding photographers can seem overwhelming and daunting to say the least. As a parent I needed to make the right choice that fit with our budget and that would also give my daughter and her future husband amazing photos to help preserve the memory of their wonderful day. I happened to be searching The Knot, and Kylie was featured. My daughter and I browsed her photos on her website and really loved her work. We then met with Kylie and she is so professional, yet so friendly and accommodating. She worked with our budget and gave us information to help with planning the timeline for the event. On the day of the wedding, it was hectic, but Kylie was calm and kept the photos rolling. The wedding was at the Fullerton Arboretum and when you combine the beauty of the arboretum and the talent of an amazing photographer, the result is magical!!! I just finished the wedding book and it is simply amazing! The lighting, the groupings, the settings were absolutely stunning. I can't say enough about picking the right photographer for a wedding...Kylie is that gal! She captured every special moment and brought it to life through her lens. Her brother Max, did the photo booth for the event, and that was a huge hit. Max is great to work with as well and I would recommend adding a photo booth to the budget. If you are looking for the perfect duo for wedding photography and photo booth, Kylie and Max are it! We couldn't be happier with the results, just magical!

My wife and I can't stop flipping through the photos. This is what memories are all about. Thank you!

I would recommend Tiffany to any newly engaged bride out there! She offers different services; for example, one month service, day of coordination, or al carte! She's patient, sweet, and a perfectionist! You won't be disappointed!!!

How do I even begin to describe S2N, Kandyce and her team?!?! THEY ARE HEAVEN SENT! Our wedding and…read morereception was supposed to take place at the time the pandemic hit, so we had to postpone. Initially, I did not hire a coordinator, because I had a good group of friends and family who were going to execute my vision/plan. I bought everything I needed because I wasn't renting, and I had an idea. However, when I picked up the planning process 2 months prior to our wedding celebration this year, I realized I would need a coordinator. After an initial call w/Kandyce, I knew I wanted to go with S2N. Kandyce, Meghan, and Stephanie were was one of the best parts of our day! With my type-A personality, they executed my vision FLAWLESSLY. I had so many things I worried about, and come day of, they gave me peace of mind. Kandyce was so organized and made sure things ran smoothly, Meghan was so attentive to our needs, and Stephanie operated like a ninja that nothing was ever missing or ever not taken care of. I cannot say enough about them, except that I will be forever grateful. Everyone noticed how smooth and put together everything was and I couldn't and still don't stop singing their praises. They were the best choice I made, and I would do it all over again. They went above and beyond for me, and there is no amount of gratitude that will ever suffice how much I LOVE THEM! Thank you so much Kandyce, Meghan & Stephanie! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

She truly listened to what I wanted -- a simple, meaningful gathering that reflected my daughter's favorite things and especially, love of the Dodgers Baseball Team. Ricki and her team handled every detail with such care. They designed a beautiful event in Dodger blue, creatively placing my daughter's Dodger bobbleheads that everyone loved. They arranged all the rentals, catering, ice cream scoopers, bartender, and servers, and made sure everything ran smoothly. I didn't have to worry about a thing -- they brought everything to me so I could simply be present with neighbors, family and friends. The day was perfect in every way and truly honored my daughter's memory. I am deeply grateful for Ricki's compassion, professionalism, and attention to detail. She made a very emotional day so much easier, and I will always appreciate what she did for us. Christy, Grateful Mother

The best decision I made when planning my wedding was hiring Ryan for full coordination. Ryan gave…read moremy husband and me the wedding of our dreams, on a short timeframe and exactly on budget. We live in Boston, MA and were getting married at the Serra Retreat in Malibu, CA; we had also decided on a date that was only 6 months away. Both my mother and myself work full-time with long hours. Ryan made planning a wedding in 6 months from across the country possible. More than that, however, she made the planning process stress-free and enjoyable. Ryan is a calm and creative professional. The vendors she suggested exceeded our expectations and the budget she put together was accurate and reasonable. We are also a religious couple and Ryan was respectful of the sacred tone that we wanted to set for the ceremony. Throughout the process she responded to the vision I had for my wedding, and used her own expertise to make that vision a reality. I wanted an elegant but simple reception that would complement the Spanish courtyard and natural beauty of the Serra Retreat. Ryan put together a design that created an informal garden feel without being rustic, and was full of personal touches without being fussy. The final event was more fun and beautiful than I had dreamed. Having Ryan in charge on the day-of meant that my bridesmaids, myself, and my mother could enjoy ourselves and be in the moment. (She even handled the uninvited +1 that one of our guests brought without me knowing anything was wrong). Four months after our wedding, our friends are still talking about how it was the best wedding they've been to.

Having probably researched 20+ coordinating companies and spoken with half as many, I knew I wanted…read moreRyan as my coordinator the minute I got off the phone with her. Her energy and knowledge about the industry came through clearly on the phone and for someone planning the event from the east coast, I just appreciated her friendly, but honest attitude and genuine advice. Moreover, it was really important to us to have someone we could communicate with through a variety of formats and Ryan's quick response time and comfort around technology really sealed the deal for us. Even though we only contracted Ryan for the day of our event, she went above and beyond our expectations. Being the one of the first from our circle of friends to get married we had few to turn to for advice and expectations. We peppered Ryan with questions through out the planning process (sorry Ryan!) but she really helped guide us to through the journey. The day of the actual wedding was filled with what I presumed a lot of logistics, set up and directing. I presume because all I saw were the finished work. As the event stretched through out the night, toasts magically occurred, food courses automatically changed, and the guests danced the night away. Looking back, if there was one thing I did right, it was booking Ryan as my day of coordinator.
