Recommended Vendors
Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming with so many options out there. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with countless talented vendors, and I’ve curated this list to share some of my absolute favorites with you. These are professionals whose work I admire — many of whom I would personally hire (or already have!). I do my best to keep this page updated with vendors who consistently impress me with their creativity, professionalism, and passion. I hope this resource helps make your planning process a little easier and a lot more inspiring.
Wedding Planner
by Brittany Klapwijk
I’ve been genuinely impressed time and time again by how seamlessly Brittany handles the many moving parts of a wedding day. Her calm presence, quick thinking, and dedication to her couples make her an absolute standout — and it's exactly why I’m so confident recommending her.
Weddings are full of little details, last-minute changes, and unexpected hiccups. It’s completely natural for couples to feel overwhelmed trying to manage it all. I often remind my clients that not everything will go exactly as planned — and that’s okay. Most of the time, only you will know if something went off schedule. But do you really want to be the one putting out fires or managing the timeline while trying to enjoy your wedding?
This is where a great wedding planner, like Brittany, truly shines. She takes the pressure off your shoulders so you (and your family) can focus on what really matters: being fully present and soaking in every moment.
Whether you have a hands-on family or a laid-back approach, having someone like Brittany by your side can make all the difference. I’ve seen her in action countless times — always working tirelessly behind the scenes, anticipating needs, and making sure each couple’s day runs as smoothly as possible.

Beauty Decor / Backdrop Decor Rentals
I’ve worked with many backdrop setups for weddings and events, but Beauty Decor truly stands out. Their shimmer wall is one of my absolute favorites to photograph — it sparkles and catches the light in all the right ways, creating a fun, high-energy party vibe. What makes it even more unique is the way they incorporate balloons, lighting, and floor fans. The lights shift through vibrant colors — from blue and purple to green and red — giving each photo a different, eye-catching look. It’s stunning in person and on camera!
Their full backdrop package is around $500 and includes:
• Shimmer wall
• Balloon and decor in any color
• Neon sign options
• Delivery, setup, and takedown
• Two floor fans and lighting for that extra wow effect
I highly recommend this talented team if you’re looking to add something truly special to your event.

Tess Anderson
Vocals / Piano / Guitar
If you're looking for live music that truly leaves a lasting impression, Tess Anderson is one of the best choices you can make for your wedding day. As a wedding photographer, I’ve seen couples spend thousands on bands or big-name performers — yet no one has captivated a crowd quite like Tess. Guests talk about her performance all night long, and one bride even told me she felt like she had hired a Hollywood star.
I loved her talent so much, I booked her for my own wedding in 2022 — and she was absolutely unforgettable.
Whether you’re planning music for your ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, or all of the above, Tess brings a beautiful, heartfelt energy to every moment. Her voice is incredible, and her repertoire spans hundreds of popular songs that will have your guests singing along, swaying, or dancing.
You can preview her music and learn more on her website. Highly, highly recommended!
