Kristi is the absolute best— a spray tan wizard! My friends had recommended Kristi for my wedding tan and I was a bit nervous about being too dark or too light for my wedding day. Kristi and I went over all my concerns and ideas she had for my tan. Kristi gave me the perfect wedding glow, that looked gorgeous in all my photos and lasted over a week!!! Since my wedding, I exclusively go to Tanistry for my spray tans. Can’t recommend Kristi enough!

We couldn't be happier with our decision to hire Karla for our wedding! From the first consultation to the final gallery delivery, she was professional and incredibly talented. One of the things we appreciated most was how closely Karla followed our picture list. We had a few specific shots and family groupings that were really important to us, and she made sure every one was captured without us having to worry or remind them on the day. Her attention to detail and organization helped everything flow so smoothly. Karla was assertive with family and friends who needed to be included in the pictures- it’s exactly what you need when you have a big wedding party and family! On the big day, she captured every moment perfectly—both the big emotional highlights and the small, candid in-between shots that we’ll treasure forever. Her eye for detail, use of natural light, and ability to make everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera truly set her apart. Karla does such a wonderful job giving guidance to everyone involved- even little kids. She blended seamlessly into the day, making sure nothing felt staged or forced, and she captured genuine emotion throughout. The final photos were delivered faster than we ever expected, and the quality blew us away. Her final photographs are so vibrant every color pops! Our friends and family haven’t stopped raving about how beautiful the pictures are! We can’t recommend her enough! Thank you again for giving us memories we’ll cherish forever! Marie & Philip

Our wedding at Chateau was nothing short of phenomenal. We had our ceremony and reception here, and I wouldn’t change a single thing. We were able to take photos on the golf course before the ceremony and it was gorgeous during golden hour! We loved that our guests didn’t need to drive to a different location between the ceremony and reception. All of the staff are amazing. My husband and I were catered to all night and our drinks were never empty. The food was delicious and the drinks were great too. We loved having the tables, chairs, table cloths, other decor, food, drinks, and more all provided for us. Some venues were charging per table and chair and requiring caterers for food and drinks, so it really made everything much easier to have it all provided by the venue. Any time we had questions leading up to the wedding, the staff was so helpful. I hardly had to worry about a single thing when it came to the venue, because Chateau handled it all for us. I could go on and on about how amazing everything was, but just take my word for it: it was AMAZING. Look no further!!

Hiring Rae as our photographer was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. Her photography style is breathtaking, and her attention to detail perfectly captured our vision. When we shared a few of her photos with our guests afterward, many commented on how she has an “incredible eye"! Beyond her artistic talent, Rae was such a joy to work with—professional yet lighthearted, and incredibly dedicated to capturing every important moment. She ensured we got all of the family shots and details we wanted captured during our special day. We also used Rae for our engagement photos and bridal portraits, and we have so many favorites that we’re honestly going to need more wall space to frame them all! Highly recommend Rae to any couple looking for a photographer who truly goes above and beyond.

A business built on creativity, culture, and connection. Ashanti crafts custom cakes and treats for special events that go far beyond the typical dessert table. Known for her bold flavor combinations, intricate designs, and culturally inspired creations, every piece is a personal, edible story tailored to each client. The raw, unfiltered joy that comes from seeing someone’s face light up at that first bite or first glance. That’s what drives her, every single time. Whether it’s a wedding, milestone birthday, or intimate celebration, Ashanti isn’t just baking, she’s helping people celebrate life, one unforgettable treat at a time.

Ador A Treat feels like stepping into a cozy, sugar-dusted dream. From the welcoming owner to the customer service makes you feel like a friend and part of the family before you even take your first bite. But let’s talk about the treats. Their signature cupcakes are the real stars—moist, rich, and topped with just the right amount of frosting. The red velvet is a must-try: deep cocoa flavor with a tangy cream cheese swirl that melts on your tongue. I also tried their cookie dough stuffed brownies, and I still can't stop thinking about them—decadent, gooey, and perfectly over-the-top. They clearly take pride in their ingredients and presentation. Everything is beautifully packaged and thoughtfully made, making it a great spot for gifts, parties, or just a well-deserved self-indulgence. Customer service is just as sweet as their desserts. The staff is friendly, helpful, and genuinely excited to talk about what’s fresh or seasonal. They even offered great recommendations based on my taste. Whether you’re planning a celebration or just want to treat yourself, Ador A Treat lives up to its name—and then some.

My name is Kelsey and I want to take your picture! With my father being a photographer of 30+ years, I befriended the camera at the young age of three. I fell in love with how one photo captures a moment that forever brings us back in time over and over again. How precious it is to relive a special moment or day in time! It's been five years since I began pursuing photography. I founded my business on three principles: versatility, diversity and authenticity! It's these three principles that help me cultivate photos that mean something.

From our first conversation, the team at Visual Society put us at ease with their efficient and friendly communication style. On our wedding day, they seamlessly captured all the beautiful, special moments without ever being intrusive.

Andrew Alwert Studios

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Lafitte, LA

Andrew Alwert Studios is a professional photography studio. Our mission is to create timeless art through a documentary-style approach using medium format film and digital photography. We produce colorful content and enjoy connecting with every client we work with on a personal and professional level.

Andrew isn’t just a photographer—he’s an artist, a professional, and someone who became a true friend throughout our wedding journey. We originally hired Andrew as part of our New Orleans wedding dream team. I found him by going through tagged photos of our original venue—while most looked similar (lots of light and airy styles), every time a photo stood out to me as creative, candid, moody, or just flat-out cool… it was always one of Andrew’s. I knew I had to have him. I was thrilled when he was available for our big day—and even more blown away when he was excited to pivot with us when our plans completely changed. After we found out we were expecting a baby—and due the same week as our NOLA wedding—we made the tough decision to cancel the original event. We rescheduled everything on a tight timeline and relocated the wedding to Massachusetts. Andrew didn’t hesitate. He was all in, genuinely enthusiastic, and just as committed to making the new plan feel special. He made the long trip to MA with the most positive energy and attitude, and from start to finish, he made the process so fun. He and my planner Donna instantly clicked—they truly partnered up and helped bring our reimagined wedding to life. Watching them work together felt like magic. Andrew’s photography style is incredible. He has such range—editorial, moody, candid, light and airy—he blends them in a way that feels completely unique. His shots never feel staged or predictable; they’re emotional, rich, and full of life. He gave us just enough direction to get gorgeous, creative shots, while also encouraging us to interact naturally. It was the perfect balance. My husband hates taking pictures—he’s normally wide-eyed and frozen or giving a fake smile. But Andrew completely changed that. He made him feel relaxed and confident, and the difference in the photos was unreal. Every shot looked natural and joyful. We did both our engagement shoot and wedding with Andrew, and my husband—who initially grumbled about even hiring a photographer—ended up loving working with him. On top of all that, Andrew was incredibly professional, communicative, and responsive the entire way through. And somehow, despite all the stress of replanning a wedding in 12 weeks, he kept us grounded and laughing the whole time. One of my favorite moments he captured was this Beatles-style shot of us crossing the street—it was creative, playful, and so us. Everyone who’s seen it has commented on how cool it is. Andrew didn’t just deliver photos—he delivered art and a genuinely amazing experience. I can’t imagine having had anyone else by our side. Book him while you can.

All our ice creams are made fresh daily and change with the seasons. When you come in you never know what you might find!

Working with The Creole Creamery was a seamless experience from start to finish. Their communication was quick and transparent, with no hidden costs. Their ice cream is truly the best - it was the perfect dessert for our wedding, especially since my spouse is gluten intolerant. Going for ice cream at Creole Creamery is one of our favorite date night activities, so it was a natural choice for our wedding. Based on the size of our wedding, they advised us to order a la carte rather than a catering package, which was very helpful. We're so grateful to the Creole Creamery team for making our special day even sweeter!

What you see is what you get. No fancy job titles, no big company, no outsourcing editing. My approach is always to capture the authenticity of the story unfolding before me. From the brief glimpse of a tear in a groom's eye as his bride walks down the aisle, the split-second stillness of a toddler, or the tender moments between a new husband and wife. I strive to create images that tell stories. Images that age like fine wine and make you feel exactly how you felt on your wedding day. It's about the little moments, the ones that happen in-between, it's about the connection, the laughs, the tears….it’s what makes your story…yours.

Marquez Fotos was an amazing choice for our wedding photography. From the very first interaction, Daniel was helpful, quick to respond, and incredibly nice. His communication style put us at ease throughout the entire planning process. When it came to the big day, his work was absolutely beautiful - he captured every moment perfectly. The photos he delivered are truly stunning and we could not be happier with the final product. Daniel went above and beyond to ensure our special day was documented beautifully.

My name is Nicole I have been a professional makeup artist and esthetician since 2016. Went to John Jay beauty college but I have always had a love for makeup and art it I really fell in love with skincare once I went to school. I truly love making a bride and her ladies feel their most beautiful on the big day. I love to enhance your natural beauty not make you look like someone else. I am available for skin prep leading up to the wedding as well as brows!

When it came time to choose my wedding makeup artist, I didn’t think twice. Nicole was it. Always. Always will be. She does amazing work. The quality, the perfection, the glam without being too much, all of it. She makes you look and FEEL beautiful! What else would you want on your wedding day?! Nicole is the bomb when it comes to any and all beauty needs!
