Mike Larson is amaxing. He has apprenticed photographers who work under him who are also awesome. I just met with Chloe yesterday to discuss my weddings planning/coordinating business and go over their packages. She is so sweet.

Good Luck

I had two photographers at my wedding, both were amazing: Julie Mixon (http://juliemixon.com/) and Ginny Corbett (http://ginnycorbettphotography.com)

I also had a wedding painter who made a beautiful piece of art on-site: Arlissa Vaughn (http://specialeventpainter.com)

My sister made my cake, so beautiful! But she doesn't do it for anyone else :(

I did all my own decorations, invitations, and printed materials.

I planned the whole thing from Pittsburgh, PA with the help of my mom and MOH who live locally:

Venue: Camp San Luis Obispo Chapel and Officer's Club, now under New Management after my wedding.
Catering: Sea Shanty of Cuyucos (they're NOT just sea food, we didn't have any sea food at our wedding! The steak was delicious!)
DJ: AMS entertainment, very good service! Highly reccommended!
Florist: Los Osos Flower Market, I talked to Carol and told her the colors I wanted, she put the bouquets and boutinneres together and they were GORGEOUS! They lasted all day!
Photographer: Tom Meinhold Photography, the pictures are great but he was a little rude.
Tuxes: Men's Wearhouse, make sure all your guys get the tuxs fitted before the wedding. Some of our groomsmen didn't fly in until the day before and their tuxes didn't fit!
Cake: Albertson's of Morro Bay.
Invitations: Daisy-days.com, I was very specific about wanting Disney Fairy Tale themed invitations, I got the style I wanted, the wording, and the colors. And even though I didn't pay extra shipping, they arrived in 2 days!
Hair: Cristina Vidaurri of Che Bella Salon in Pismo Beach. Also highly reccommended! She was able to work miracles with my thin hair and make it stay beautiful all day!
I hope this helps! Good luck with your weddings!

If you already had your wedding, how was Chris Bailey? He is one of two that I am considering.
