overview
Gretchen & Kevin’s wedding was a pastel DREAM, full of vibrant florals from The Bloom of Time and a carefully thought out timeline from their wedding planner Leslye Hansen that included family photos before the ceremony at the historic Mission San Juan Capistrano, a magician during cocktail hour, the best money dance I’ve ever witnessed, live Music from the band Crowd Theory, as well as the groom getting in the dj booth and keeping the crowd going until the very end! Gretchen & Kevin chose our candid package which allowed them the freedom to enjoy their day while we took care of all the behind the scenes moments.
Gifts for the Girls was one of my absolute favorite vendors for my wedding. Kaitlyn followed my groom and me around from our pre-ceremony family photoshoot to our ceremony to our post-ceremony photoshoot around town to the reception all throughout the night. She worked well with our photographers, videographers and wedding coordinators. We got a lot of behind the scenes footage and candid moments of us and our guests from Kaitlyn that we would have never gotten if she wasn’t around. She captured the whole wedding so well with tons of videos and photos. I got married two months ago and haven’t gotten our photos and videos from the photographers and videographers yet (keep in mind it usually takes 10-15 weeks to receive them). But we’ve already been able to relive moments of our wedding immediately thanks to Gifts for the Girls. Kaitlyn transfers all the content the night-of.
I highly recommend hiring Gifts for the Girls for your wedding whether it be for social media or just for your personal collection. You will not regret it! Kaitlyn is organized, professional, and definitely a girl's girl. You will love working with her, she makes you feel so comfortable. I adore her to pieces!

I absolutely love how Gifts for the Girls shows up on your wedding day strictly with the intention of getting all the social media content you want. Makes Reels, catches all the intimate moments & gives you all the images and videos the night of your wedding! She captures what you didn't have time for. Such an overlooked element of your wedding.

Where do I even start?! Kaitlyn, you were absolutely incredible amiga! The exceptional service you provided from inquiry to the wedding day was truly phenomenal. You seamlessly captured so many cherished moments throughout our special day that I'm so grateful for. Having you by my side throughout our wedding day truly made me feel like I had an assistant with me because you went above and beyond. We received so many beautiful, in the moment, candid, and behind-the-scenes videos and photos because of you which has allowed us to relive the magic of our wedding day - I seriously can't thank you enough. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Kaitlyn these are INCREDIBLE. This was so amazing having so much on my phone already. My day was absolute perfection and I’m obsessed with you and your business. Freaking killing it my girl. And the videos turned out even better than I could’ve imagined. Andrew has no social media but even he is appreciating fun videos. Also getting to see the beginning as guests were arriving when we weren’t there is awesome. This has been such a great experience for me, Kaitlyn. I am recommending you to everyone. Thanks a million.

We’re back from our honeymoon and are still in wedding bliss! Honestly, Kevin and I still talk about you and how amazing your services were for our wedding! We are so happy you were a part of our special day. We want to write a review for you to help grow the success of your business. That’s how much we believe in you. Of course, we’re also recommending you by word of mouth to anyone getting married! While I wait for the photos and videos from photographers and videographers, I get to relive moments of my wedding immediately thanks to you.

I think wedding content creators should be called memory makers or memory creators because they are essentially preserving the memories of that day for you. One of the best experiences Alex and I had was being able to wake up the next day and watch 800 different videos and pictures of everything that happened throughout the day and things we didn’t even see. We decided to work with Kaitlyn because she knew our wedding planner, was local to our venue, and had a ton of experience. Also, she was a recent bride who got married 3-4 weeks before me, so I felt like I could use her personal insight on what to capture and what not to capture. I wanted to be able to relive the day as if I were a guest at my own wedding. The videos we got of some of our guests dancing, having fun, in the photo booth, hanging out, eating dinner, our late night food. She got full length videos of all the speeches and toasts. Alex and I have been watching these videos and looking through pictures every single day since the wedding and that is all because of her work.

I truly can’t say enough amazing things about Gifts for the Girls & Kaitlyn. Although I love posting on social media and definitely knew I wanted to have content to post of my wedding, Kaitlyn provided much more than content of my wedding. She was like having a wing woman for my wedding day. She helped pin my hair back, made sure I ate and danced with me all night. Along with her kind and caring demeanor, she is a true professional! She has the latest tech and is super organized when it comes to keeping track of all the ideas, videos and set ups I wanted captured. I instantly, and I mean the same night of my wedding got back 1000’s of photos and videos of my day and all the BTS I could dream of. She even made some of the TikTok videos I wanted so I didn’t have to do the editing myself. Her services were SUCH a necessity on my day. She was worth every dollar, especially as she was such an affordable option compared to extending my hourly with a wedding photographer. So thankful I found her and have her as part of my memories from my wedding day!

If you have any doubts about hiring Kaitlyn as your wedding content creator, don’t - she is amazing and over delivers. I hired Kaitlyn about two weeks before my wedding because I was unsure about whether I needed content creation for my wedding but Kaitlyn explained how she was one of the first vendors in her category and how she knew all the tips and tricks. And she really did! The day of the wedding, Kaitlyn made me feel so at ease knowing we had planned all the important moments in advance and she is so creative at coming up with video ideas and TikTok trends on the fly. Before the end of my wedding night I was sent almost a 1000 photos and videos, had all my Instagram stories reposted and natively posted, and 3 edited TikTok videos ready for publishing! After our wedding events ended at around 3 am, my husband and I were in awe reviewing everything Kaitlyn captured for us and didn’t go to bed out of pure joy until 4 am that night. It was such a fantastic wedding weekend and thanks to Kaitlyn, we were able to practically relive it again and again with all the memories she captured.
