My โFriendorsโ
The wedding vendor search can be overwhelming. Thereโs so much talent out there to compare, and youโre trusting them with one of the most joyous and delicate days of your life.
Where do you even begin?
Having been in the wedding industry for 10 years now, Iโve met and collaborated with countless wedding vendors in the 100โs of events Iโve documented. In an effort to make your vendor search easier, and in order to lift up other small businesses I love, Iโve collected my favorite wedding vendors (aka โfriendorsโ) in this exhaustive list.
Here youโll find professional, experienced vendors vetted and curated by me, with an emphasis on those who are not normally centered in the wedding industry, including queer & BIPOC-owned businesses, and those who are values-driven and prioritize eco-friendly practices in their businesses.
Note: I have no business agreement with these folks, just support and love. ๐
Happy Booking!

Jenica Elena Studio
โFor over 14 years and 200+ weddings, Iโve been documenting love across the country creating photos and videos. Working with me feels like having a calm, supportive friend by your side. I create wedding photos and films that feel like you โwild, tender, and beautifully real.
I believe you should do exactly what you want on your wedding day with people who get you, in front of a backdrop as epic as your love story.
My work showcases the unique love you share with your partner; your job is just to breathe, stay present and soak it all in.
Iโll give soft direction when needed but mostly stay unobtrusive and observational, letting your day unfold naturally. I have an artistic documentary shooting style, looking for the genuine moments that compose your wedding day โ the excited glances, the joy of your grandmother seeing you in your wedding outfit, and the energy of people coming together to celebrate your love.
Youโll receive photos and videos full of laughter, tears, dance floor chaos, and quiet moments you didnโt even know happened.
I value inclusivity, honesty, and making people feel seen. LGBTQIA+ affirming, your love is celebrated here.โ
