My Wedding Vendor Recommendations


Not trying to gatekeep here, I will share my FAVORITE vendors to the wedding vendor community and couples planning!After working with amazing vendors and wanting to up my wedding vendor experience, I have curated a wedding vendor recommendation list. Some of these vendors I have worked with and loved and others I admire their space, work, and heard amazing things. These vendors truely make the most out of your special day and I could not recommend anyone else. I am still building this list as not every vendor is available every wedding day. Hopefully I will get the chance to work with new vendors, love their service(s), and add them to my list.


Wondering if you have to work with these vendors if you book me as your photographer? Absolutely not. Again, these are just some of my favorites to work with or have heard great things! If every vendor was available every day of the year for each and every wedding, most of us would be out of business. So I will list multiple vendor recommendations under each category!


Please keep in mind many of these vendors are based out of Central Ohio.

Photographers

Me of course! How could I not shout myself out. I am available for your wedding photographer needs and you can reach out to me at avalaurenphotography@gmail.com .

Some other great photographers available are Morgan Baker Photography, Veronica Adams Photography, Abby Julieann Photography, Lex Lens Photography, and lots more! If I am not available I can refer you to a bunch of amazing Wedding Photographers that I know will do amazing capturing your big day.


Videographers

Fun fact, I have not gotten the opportunity to work with any videographers yet but my first and only recommendation is Lindsay Kay Films. Her work is beautiful and I hope to work with her someday!
