Craig Rucker was a wonderful photographer. We are so happy with our pictures and album.

What sold us was that he didn't charge by the hour. We were having a 2pm-3pm wedding and a 6pm-midnight reception so we didn't want to have to worry about what hour we were in. He truly worked ALL day. He was there around 10am to get "make-up and prep" pictures and stayed until most of the guests had left later that night.

He was the first photographer that we met with and after looking through other websites and sample work, we decided we didn't need to meet with anyone else. He was the right one for us.

He took our engagement pictures as well and met us in downtown LA for our session. All of our guests loved the engagement photos that we displayed at the reception!

He created a slideshow of our wedding day that was ready for us when we returned from our honeymoon. Nine months later and we still enjoy watching it. He did such a great job putting our album together that I only had to email him once with changes and then we printed it! We had the album before our 7-month anniversary.

He was professional, polite, and very patient with all of the guests, friends, and family.

His pictures are a great mixture of posed and candid and what caught my attention on his website was that they are bright and vibrant. My husband was very, very picky about the photographer and was extremely impressed with his work.

I would highly recommend Craig for your wedding!

I am so thankful that I found Lisa Moon. She is the reason that my wedding went so well. I didn't have to worry about a thing. I even had one of my guests tell me afterwards that it was the smoothest wedding she had ever been to.

I knew from the moment that I met her that she was the one. She was professional, sweet, detail-oriented, and I could tell that she would take care of me. She went beyond my expectations.

She has a giant "suitcase" that she brings along and she saved the day with Static Cling for my bridesmaids and a travel steam-iron for my dress at the church. She even had eye-drops for one of my guests. She is truly ready for anything!!

She is calm, but gets things done. I wanted someone to tell me where and when to be, but I didn't want someone ordering me around. She was always smiling and making sure we had food, water, and having a good time. Her entire team made sure that all my guests were taken care of.

She has been coordinating weddings for years and you can tell by the small details. From pre-planning advice to day-of recommendations, I don't think I would have made it through the long, hot, 300-guest day!

I think a day-of coordinator is a must for anyone that gets consumed with the details. You shouldn't have to worry about that stuff on your big day (and neither should your family and friends). Let Lisa Moon take care of it so you can enjoy every minute of your wedding day!

My sister-in-law even joked that she wanted Lisa Moon to coordinate her life. :)

We all loved Lisa and I would recommend her to everyone.

Joyce was referred to me by a friend. She told me that of all her vendors, Joyce Luck was the one that I had to use! I didn't even look for another hair/make-up vendor. I met her for my trial and simply told her that I wanted a classic look (think Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn) and that is exactly what she did. My mom came with me and took "after" photos of me. A few days later, after looking through the pictures again, I decided that I didn't like the colors she used so I emailed her and she remembered to change it on the wedding day without me even mentioning it.

She showed up at 7am in Newport Beach at my hotel to prep all the girls. Joyce and her team were on time and were prepared for anything and everything. They were all super nice and professional. She worked on my (very long) hair and make-up and thankfully she made sure we had plenty of time so that the morning was as relaxing as possible. She even made sure that my hair was ready for a change into a traditional Vietnamese outfit (including the "hat"). I was able to put it on and take it off by myself during the reception. My make-up lasted the whole day & night (even in 100 degree heat last April) and I loved the eyelashes!

Later one of my bridesmaids told me that her older sister said that was the best she had ever looked! I would highly recommend Joyce and her associates. My sister-in-law is now planning her wedding so I'm trying to book Joyce Luck to take care of her too!

And if you are hesitant about the price, just remember that you will have to look at your wedding pictures for the rest of your life (and as the bride you'll be in every one!) so you'd better like your hair and make-up! The price is worth it!
