After celebrating my own 16th wedding anniversary, my partner and I have truly been able to reflect on what is important on a wedding day, and I'm here to bring the wisdom to you! I believe that digital photography and images are a HUGE gift and can provide us with so many more memories than we were previously able to retain. And, just like reading a physical book vs. an e-book, prints hit different. You're not photographing your own wedding — you're trusting a professional to lead you through the best experience you can have and to give you the best art you can get.

​From start to finish Jess was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and collaborative. Her skills as a photographer, editor, and creative professional were immediately apparent-- and very much appreciated when we received the photos of our special day. Jess was eager to meet us where we were at and come alongside us in achieving our vision for our wedding. She was adaptive and accommodating. We really cannot praise her highly enough. Put simply, she was an instrumental part of our wedding being a success. And now we have tangible memories that we will cherish forever. Not insignificantly among them, the absolute pleasure of working with Jess. Thank you!!

  • Venue feels large for events with small guest lists
  • Requires outside catering services

Luxury, elevated, ease, professional, artistic, and dreamy are words that come to mind when you think of Machine Shop. Every wedding guest commented on the beauty of the space, the warmth it provides, and how truly magical it made our special wedding day. We may be a tiny bit bias but we can confidently state we have never experienced such an event space, before or post, our wedding quite like Machine Shop. From the building, to the entire Machine Shop staff, we have lifelong memories that we will hold to our hearts forever. THANK YOU Machine Shop staff / building for making our dreams come true!

After meaning with many photographers for our wedding we went with Lollipop Media because of how comfortable Natalie made me feel right off the bat. I am very picky when it comes to how photos look and my goodness Ricky and Natalie knocked it out of the park!! We used them for not only our photography but also our videography and everything turned out fantastic. If you’re looking for light and airy photos with a bit of natural to it, Lollipop Media is your go to!! I couldn’t be happier with the album we received from them!!

Sarah traveled for my up north elopement to do my hair and makeup, and I am so thankful for her flexibility and talents! We did a trial run and communicated back and forth on what tweaks to make so the final look would be perfect. On the day of, Sarah came fully prepared for any situation - including snow for the outside ceremony! My makeup was perfect for the entire day and shined through the pictures.
