  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,300
  • Serves Smith River, CA

Welcome! I'm Kenneth! Photography started for me by capturing little moments in my children's lives and their real personalities. Rather quickly photography went from a hobby to a part-time job. I loved pushing myself to be better and challenging myself to shoot a variety of genres. I photographed my son at a baseball field in his uniform and I fell in love with what I was able to create. I was getting photographs that could not be done with natural light alone. Landscape photography has since taken a back seat. Portraits, weddings, and events have become my main focus. Still always trying to be better, for myself and all of my clients.

Hiring Eivan’s for our wedding was a great decision! Our photographer Gregory I was professional and FUN! He kept us smiling throughout the day with his quirky personality! My fiancé does not care for photos so I’m happy we had someone working with us who could make him comfortable. He made sure to get multiple images even if it was just “one more”, it was never one more! We had actually hired a different photographer and we replaced him with this company. Worth the stress and money! If I had any tips for the company, it would be to have your photographers give a 30 minute warning before their contracted time is up. Weddings are so busy for the bride and groom, it is very easy to lose track of time. I think clients would appreciate a little heads up just so they can try and capture any photos they may have missed. Other than that, I have ZERO complaints. Such an amazing experience! 10/10 highly recommend :)

We couldn't have been happier with our experience with The Uncommon Weddings! Sway's coordination and his team's attention to detail ensured that everything ran smoothly, allowing me and my wife to relax and enjoy our special day. Our wedding video captured every moment and emotion perfectly, creating a beautiful and timeless keepsake that we will cherish forever. The quality and editing of the video were outstanding. You also get 1 free revision which we used to add some personal touches. What's more, their pricing was not only fair but competitive for the exceptional service and product we received. It's rare to find a wedding videographer who offers such high-quality work at a reasonable price as we needed 2 videographers who were willing to work 12 total hours. We can't thank The Uncommon Weddings enough for being a crucial part of our wedding day and for delivering a video that we will watch fondly. If you're looking for a wedding videographer who goes above and beyond, look no further – The Uncommon Weddings is the way to go! Thank you Sway for checking in with us many times to ensure there were no issues. Thank you Leo and company for recording our wedding. Thank you Sean for editing our wedding video. Lastly, thank you to The Uncommon Weddings for making our day unforgettable and capturing it so beautifully!

Something Borrowed Blooms was an absolute pleasure to work with for my wedding flowers. They were quick and responsive and were able to help me multiple times throughout my order.

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers

  • Florist
  • Starts at $350

In 2013, 8-year wedding veteran Amy McCord Jones realizes she wouldn't be able to afford to hire her own floral services if she was a bride. Then, Amy discovers that there is basically zero help available for DIY brides. No flower recipes. No instructions. No access to florist-grade blooms. Rude. So she launches Flower Moxie! Flower Moxie remains a humble, tucked-away small business out of Oklahoma City. We don’t zoom around on scooters in some fancy high-rise. We stock an average kitchen with canned wine and Aldi chips and listen to true crime podcasts while photographing curvy ranunculus. Join us. There’s cake, hugs, and acceptance here.

This was such an amazing service! I had the pleasure of video chatting with Alexa, and she truly brought every part of my floral vision to life. We explored different flower options together, dissected my Pinterest board, and she helped me craft pure magic—all within my budget. The custom recipes she created were incredibly helpful and gave me the perfect guidance to DIY the flowers of my dreams. Here are some pictures of my bouquet, my bridesmaids’ bouquets, and the ceremony/reception arrangements. I couldn’t recommend Flower Moxie enough—and fingers crossed you get the amazing Alexa to help make your flower dreams come true too!

This review is long overdue! Mostly because my wife and I have been 'honeymooning' these past few months but we wanted to also share our experience with Lightfall Imagery for our wedding back in November 2024. Victoria was super professional and showed up on time and was ready to take photos from start time to a little after finish. Unfortunately our other photographer from a different company cancelled on us so she had to work a little harder for us to help fill the role for 2 photographers and she did not dissapoint. My wife and I usually are not photogenic but Victoria helped us to feel relaxed and ourselves throughout our special day. We would absolutely love to work with her again. If you are ever considering a photographer for any occasion, Lightfall Imagery is definitely a choice you can not go wrong with.

Mark and his team confidently tackled the task of live-streaming the service while also capturing amazing moments throughout the day. From the “must haves” in the ceremony to the creativity of the highlights reel, Flower Oak delivered on all levels. I come from a technical background (audio recording) and ran sound for our wedding, so being able to “talk nerdy” with Mark, while also being able to “let go” and let him and his crew do their thing to capture our special day was super exciting. He is friends with our photographer and having their collaborative energies together was the best of all worlds.

My husband and I got married this past August and I’ve been meaning to write this review for a while but we had a big move and time got away from us. As a wedding vendor myself I know how important it is to have a DJ that can balance fun and professionalism, but Joey Chang did just that. He was punctual, detail oriented, and our guest couldn’t stop talking about how good he was, both as a musician and as a DJ. I really appreciated the time and effort he took to insure that no details were missed. We booked a lighting package as well and our ceremony space looked even better than I could have imagined. Joey made sure the ceremony audio was perfect. Everyone could hear the whole ceremony which was really important to us. And when he played cello for our processional and recessional, the sound really filled the space and sounded beautiful. During our cocktail hour he played cello and did some beatboxing, we were so impressed and our guests loved it as well, they were talking about how good he was and how they could hardly believe it was live music. After dinner the dance floor was full the whole night. Even months later we still have people telling us how much fun they had dancing, how great our playlist was, and how much they liked our DJ. If you want your wedding to be classy, romantic, a total rager, and go off without a hitch, I would highly recommend hiring Cello Joe!

We cannot say enough amazing things about DJ Chris Georgios! From start to finish, he absolutely crushed it at our wedding. He read the room perfectly, kept the energy high, and created the exact vibe we were hoping for. Every transition was smooth, every song hit just right, and he truly made the night feel like us. Our guests are still raving AND will continue to, about how fun the dance floor was! Chris was also incredibly professional, extremely personable and easy to work with leading up to the big day.

I’ve been playing weddings for over twelve years and I love my work! My services cover any or all aspects of wedding & receptions. I have found my life’s artistic calling in becoming flexible to every type of music my clients could desire. I learn to enjoy whatever my clients love and this resonance makes my job sustainable and ever-enjoyable. But, I do tend to request the ability to make choices for the dance-floor that rely on my years of dance-enhancing experience. I meet with my clients to determine what music they would love to hear and what music they do NOT want to hear.

We found Brandon through our wedding planner Christine Garrison of CMG Events. She suggested him because we were interested in having someone play acoustic guitar and singing during the wedding. After chatting with Brandon, we hired him to play the guitar for our ceremony, act as a wandering minstrel during the cocktail hour, and DJ the entire event. Our ceremony took place outdoors in an open lawn area. Brandon did a great job with setting up the sound. Everyone was able to hear both us and the officiant clearly. The acoustic rendition of Heartbeats (Jose Gonzalez) and Wildflowers (Tom Petty) he played for our processional and recessional were beautiful and really set the mood we were looking for. Brandon also did a great job DJing the event. He was able to take a small number of songs and expand the playlist to not only fit our tastes but keep the party hopping. We had expected that we would have minimal dancing and that our crowd would mostly just sit around chatting. However, Brandon was able to keep the energy up and the dance floor going throughout the night. It far exceeded our expectations and made the night really memorable. He was extremely professional throughout the planning process. We had several calls leading up to the wedding, and he made it easy to communicate what we were looking for in the event. We added songs to a few different playlists which he used as a jumping off point. He also provided suggestions for all the important moments (e.g., processionals, recessional, first dance, grand entrance). His contract and other documents were also clear and always sent promptly. On the day of Brandon arrived on time for set up and did a great job with all aspects (sound, DJing, acoustic performance, and lighting) of the event. He looked extremely professional and was communicative throughout the day, constantly checking in with the planner and us to make sure everything was going well. If he wasn’t sure about a song, he’d ask before playing it. Best of all, he was extremely reasonably priced. His assistant, Josh, was also very nice and did a great job.

I finally decided to hire a wedding planner when I was super stressed and at my wits end with all the planning I forgot goes into a wedding. My husband and I celebrated our 10 year vow renewal so we basically had a second wedding. Jesse was the “day of coordinator” but she went above and beyond having meetings with me months prior to make sure everything went smoothly. I’m super happy to have hired Jesse and her team as they helped to make our vow renewal stress free and enjoyable.

In 2020, I took a leap and left my 9-to-5 job to pursue my passion for photography full-time. Now, as a dedicated wedding and lifestyle photographer, I’m thrilled to capture the special moments that mean the most to you. I take pride in delivering high-quality photos and genuinely enjoy being part of your big day. Based in Aptos, I also serve the surrounding areas of the Monterey Bay region, and I’m always ready to travel wherever your love story takes us!

Deanna was truly the most amazing photographer for our wedding! Neither my husband nor I had ever taken professional photos before, and to be honest, we’re both pretty awkward and camera-shy. But from the moment we booked her, she made the whole experience feel effortless. She even offered an engagement session, which helped us get comfortable in front of the camera. By the end of it, we were blown away by how beautiful the photos turned out—far beyond what we had imagined! On the wedding day, Deanna was more than just a photographer; she was a calming presence amidst all the excitement and nerves. Her ability to guide us through poses felt so natural—never forced or uncomfortable. She has such an incredible eye for capturing genuine moments, and the photos reflect that in every frame. Deanna didn’t just document our wedding; she became a friend along the way. I can’t express how much we appreciate her talent, kindness, and professionalism. We’re already looking forward to working with her again for future milestones and photo sessions. Thank you, Deanna, for capturing our special day so perfectly—we couldn’t have asked for more!

Working with CH Photography was an absolute delight from start to finish. Their upbeat and dynamic communication style put us at ease right away, and their incredible quality of work and efficiency on the day-of exceeded all our expectations.
