Fourth Photography, LLC

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,299
  • Serves Annandale, VA

I'm William, a dedicated and passionate photographer/videographer based in Washington, DC. My love of photography was born out of my love of travel. While exploring other countries and cultures, I was using my phone to document the people that I met and the places that I have been. This led me to buy my first professional-level camera; it has been with me ever since. I consider my photography style to be timeless. When I'm not behind the lens, you'll find me at my local movie theater or spending quality time with my family and friends.

We had a small and simple wedding but wanted some good pictures. William was very professional, and the pictures are amazing! They absolutely capture the day just as we remember it. The online gallery is very easy to use and William delivered us the pictures very quickly.

Kelton from Marquee Artists was amazing! He was a communicative and active participant in the planning of the music and the announcements at my wedding on March 9. Kelton provided an extensive list of potential songs to play in a shared Google Document with columns for “play” and “do not play” which was great. Also, I was impressed that he attended the walk through of the Whittemore House a month prior to the wedding, asking pertinent questions of the Whittemore staff about the placement of various things and how best to provide the sound amplification that would be needed. He provided wireless mics which worked really well for the toasts. Kelton did a great job as the master of ceremony and his mix of the selected music was fun and fabulous. He had the crowd dancing, rocking to the music. Many of the older folks told me that they hadn’t danced in years but were having lots of fun doing so then. Having him on our wedding team instilled so much confidence in me, my daughter and new son-in-law, who is an amateur DJ. They were so taken by Kelton that, if possible, they would like to attend future events at which Kelton is the DJ!! I HIGHLY recommend him.

  • Serves Annandale, VA

We are a full service event planning company. We love wedding planning and look forward to speaking with you and sharing how we can ensure your event is a memorable. We specialize in attention to detail and making sure your event runs efficiently and smoothly. We have planned thousands of events over the past fourteen years. Events ranging from weddings to Mitzvahs to large scale concerts and festivals for thousands of attendees. Regardless of the event site, size, or budget, we place a premium on attention to detail and design. We make sure the event fits your personality in every way possible. We'll work to make your dreams a reality.

We worked with Michelle for the day-of/ month-of coordination package for our wedding and are so glad we did. Michelle is incredibly organized, responsive, and is always thinking 2-3 steps ahead. She worked with us for about a month leading up to the wedding, working with us to review our timeline & vendors and offering helpful suggestions along the way. Michelle used her experience to help us anticipate and prepare for every aspect of our wedding, which is exactly what we needed. Most of all, she cared deeply about getting to know us and our vision for the day so she could work on executing that vision while we enjoyed the day. I planned most of our wedding, so I was initially on the fence if I should reserve a day-of-coordinator or not, since our venue had a catering manger; but looking back, I would absolutely urge every couple to DO IT. After meeting Michelle and having a wedding that went so perfectly, I really see this as an investment in the time & energy you put into the planning process. Knowing that Michelle understood exactly how I wanted things to go and I could trust her to make that happen allowed me to full be in the moment during our wedding and enjoy every single minute of the day. Michelle's rates are incredibly reasonable for the level of service and peace of mind she brings. I am so grateful for Michelle's time, care, and attention that helped make the day so special for us and allowed our friends and family (and us!) to enjoy every single minute.

We had a great feeling about Andrea from the time we first met over Zoom, and our instincts were absolutely correct. She is so warm, in control, and knowledgeable -- our experience planning our wedding could not have been smoother or more pleasant. We gave her our budget number, and she immediately reassured us that she could deliver the wedding of our dreams... and she did. The network of vendors she connected us with were all fantastic, and her calm demeanor kept us at ease and was also a huge help in soothing our parents' anxiety throughout the process. We are elated that we had the chance to work with and get to know her. Andrea is absolutely fantastic and we were trying to make a newly engaged cousin hire her during our own wedding! She was just that good.

Artistry by Marquita Hair and Makeup

Marquita Chambers was born in the Washington, DC metro area and found her love of makeup after graduating high school. She then found herself in love with the beauty industry where she began working at beauty retailer, Sephora, to gain knowledge of skincare, luxury cosmetics lines and to experience working with clients one-on-one.

Awarded Best of Zola
I highly recommend Artistry by Marquita! My wedding makeup, created by Marquita, was absolutely beautiful but didn't turn me into someone unrecognizable. During the trial run, the hair stylist, Mona, took my vague description of "Game of Thrones but maybe a bit Jane Austen?" and gave me a gorgeous braided updo. On the wedding day, Marquita and Mona arrived on time and finished hair and makeup for me and the ladies in our wedding party (who also looked fabulous) with time to spare. They were kind, responsive, and collaborative throughout. It was great to work with both of them and I recommend them wholeheartedly.

Awarded Best of Zola
Wonderful service, a wonderful person, and beautiful florals! Mountain Mama Florals was such a pleasure to work with! Savannah was always quick to respond and was so helpful in guiding me through the floral process, since I was unsure about what I wanted. She sent me recommendations and inspiration photos and always gave me multiple styles to choose from, like when we were choosing vases. She was also super nice and flexible when I wanted to add things to our centerpieces and used photos to make sure we were on the same page with what we were getting. She even was able to add an extra centerpiece day off when I forgot to tell her that I had added a table..whoops! We were so lucky to have found someone who matched our budget and made us the most beautiful floral arrangements! I was so happy with my bouquet and our guests loved them too. So many people wanted to take some of the beautiful flowers home with them! I have already recommended Mountain Mama Florals to a friend who is getting married in the spring and I hope to be able use them for other events in the future.

I cannot recommend Christy and her team enough. She was communicative, receptive and accommodating from the start. I wound up changing my look twice and she could not have been nicer about it. Her makeup style is nothing short of stunning. I felt every bit a princess on my wedding day and my wedding party kept saying they get like they were “getting celebrity treatment”. Her makeup was natural but enhanced what I wanted so I felt glamorous but didn’t look cakey and her pre- makeup moisturizing routine is 10/10. I’ll use her services again.

Natasha Lamalle Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Annandale, VA

The best way to tell honest stories is through keen observation. How do I know? Because I spent 15 years as a journalist before becoming a wedding photographer. By paying attention to the ways you interact with your loved ones, I capture the in-between moments that will, one day, be significant. And using a trained eye and subtle approach, I do so unobtrusively.

Awarded Best of Zola
Natasha gave us more than just photographs, she gave us an exhilarating experience. She took us on a beautiful dance in and out of crowds through Union Station. Capturing the essence of our joy once my wife and I placed eyes on each other for our first look. Then taking us to Union Market to bring us and our friends together, capturing tender moments of joy and laughter. And finally, our wedding, where singing, dancing and love was reflected in every photo of not only my wife and I, but also those that were there to celebrate with us.

I highly recommend Little Robin Wedding Stories. I really didn't know what a videographer did when we started looking for our wedding. We were immediately blown away by the videos of other couples. Not only do you get the video of your friends and family, but Desmond creates an amazing movie knitting all of the key moments of your wedding into a story. Desmond is a true artist. Not only is the editing amazing, but it is also set to music. The movie is something we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We also felt a little shy about being filmed and didn't know exactly what we wanted. We communicated by phone and email with Desmond, who listened to what we wanted. He and his team were true professionals, who made us feel comfortable on our wedding. There is so much going on and we deeply appreciated their experience and manor throughout the day.

Imagine a wedding that truly reflects your unique love story and personality. At Howerton+Wooten Events, we are dedicated to making that vision a reality. Our experienced team takes the time to understand your essence and energy as a couple, forming meaningful connections that reveal who you are, how you live, and how you love. With this deep understanding, we design stunning wedding experiences that are vivid, personal reflections of your lifestyle, taste, and journey together. The result is a wedding you will cherish for a lifetime, a beautiful celebration that is unmistakably and uniquely yours.

Words cannot define the worth and joy it was to have Kawania and her team be a part of my wedding day. She was a constant advocate for our needs and budget throughout the process, being realistic at every turn. What I know now is that what you get with Kawania is experience and know-how of the industry. She has planned several weddings and events before and knows how to troubleshoot mishaps that may happen on the wedding day in real time. She understands that the day of the event is a special moment for everyone involved and she knows not to bring stress to the wedding party and to allow them to live in the moment. At subsequent weddings, I have felt that my friends needed this approach with their planners on their wedding day/weekend. I, being their guest or in their bridal party felt the disorganization that their planners or self-planning brought. This was not the case with Kawania. We had glowing comments about our wedding day for even a year after and how it was not just a ceremony but a day of entertainment. She is an excellent communicator. We had regular meetings throughout the year, about once a week. I have seen my friends have wedding planners who do not get back to them for several days after they have a question about their wedding. Kawania brought my vendors to me instead of me having to look for vendors on my own and when one did not work she always had another one that could take the place. She set up meetings with me and my vendors one-on-one and reviewed all of our vendor contracts to make sure that we were getting a fair contract and that expectations for the vendor and for us were both reasonable and what we were looking for. Being a very busy working professional I appreciated that Kawania went above and beyond to make sure that I stayed on the schedule and was extremely patient when there were moments when I could not. I value how she brought my vision to life and had such great attention to small details that my day was exceptional. I have seen my guests feature elements of my wedding at their subsequent events and it speaks to how she was able to set the bar high for what a classy and unique event should be. Far beyond a wedding planner, she has become someone that I keep in contact with after the wedding. She even checked in on me when there was a major catastrophic event that took place in the area where I lived months after the wedding. There were even moments when I became uncertain or stressed and focused on the wrong thing when it came to my wedding. Kawania, quite like a mother figure helped me realize what my focus should be and to ignore all other distractions so that when I walked down the aisle, I was in full confidence of how the day was going to be and did not feel a single ounce of stress on my wedding day. I could not be more thrilled to work with Kawania again. Although I do not see myself getting remarried I would certainly work with her for any big event I needed in the future. She has such a positive energy and global about her and brings a light to every interaction even difficult ones that makes her pleasant, respectable, dependable, and all around the absolute reason why my big day went off such success. I cannot state how tirelessly she and her team worked so when I did meet them in person but felt like I was meeting friends who knew exactly what I wanted. You will not regret working with Kawania and Howerton Wooten events!

Carla Pressley - Hair Stylist & Makeup Artist 

3.7

  • Beauty professional
  • Serves Annandale, VA

I’m Carla Pressley and I do hair and makeup! I’m a mixed African American/Korean chick born the year of the DOG in July which makes me a fiercely loyal sentimental Cancer. I also talk to most dogs and have been the proud mother to two Jindo dogs. I laugh EXACTLY like my two brothers, TRY eating vegan most of the time, LOVE yoga, and tear up EVERY time dads see’s the bride for the first time.

When I was looking for a hair and makeup artist, I wanted someone who I felt confident could help me decide the look for my wedding and come up with options for my naturally curly hair. However, I knew the deciding factor would be whether I felt confident that the artist could make every member of my bridal party that was diverse (in terms of race, disability, and LGBTQ) bridal party look and feel beautiful. Carla's portfolio showed me that she really lives her values of inclusion and I booked her with full confidence after our phone consultation the day after my inquiry. She gave me different options for the schedule for either just her or her and a team. I ended up going with the option of her and her team to not start so early and have a more efficient schedule. I was right to place my trust in her and the team she works with! I did a trial a couple weeks before my wedding, which I cannot recommend highly enough. It was definitely one of the most fun experiences of the entire wedding planning process! Carla spent a few hours with me trying different looks based on my inspiration photos and the vibe of my dress. I left so excited and knowing I had options I liked based on how I was feeling and the weather. On my wedding day she and her team were fantastic and executed flawlessly and made everyone comfortable on what was a hectic morning. My mother hadn't worn makeup since her wedding almost 40 years ago. My sister and maid of honor is also autistic with intellectual disabilities and had never worn makeup but wanted to be included (and look like a princess!) Carla and her team (special shoutout to makeup artist Mong!) were so patient and understanding and put them both at ease, which I appreciated so much. My other bridesmaids had a wonderful experience with makeup artist Nas as well. In terms of myself, I can say without question I've never felt more beautiful and glamorous but still myself than I did on my wedding day. Carla came with us to the church and fixed my veil that blew off during my first look and touched up everyone before we walked down the aisle. The look stayed the whole day and my hair held through the dip in our first dance into the after party. Going with Carla for hair and makeup was easily one of the best decisions I made in wedding planning and I cannot recommend her highly enough!

The Red Bandana Bakery 

5.0

  • Cakes & desserts
  • Starts at $50
  • Serves Annandale, VA

The Red Bandana is a happy, healthy little bakery in Bethesda, MD. We like to make people happy with celebratory dessert food but we don’t want to feel guilty about what we’re feeding them so we try to make it as good for their body as it is for their soul. Owner/operator Jaimie Mertz went to culinary school in 2011 with the plan to become a pastry chef, and a year later doctors put her autistic brother Jack on a gluten-free casein-free diet to try to help with some behavioral issues.

The Red Bandana Bakery was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Their communication was great, and they were incredibly professional and reliable throughout the process. Our wedding cake was absolutely beautiful and delicious - Jaimie did an amazing job bringing our vision to life with different layers and flavors just as we had discussed. The delivery and setup were also timely and flawless. We could not be more pleased with the quality of their work and the value they provided for our special day.

Aprebs Video Creations

  • Videographer

  • Serves Annandale, VA

Hi! I'm Andrew, nice to meet you. I originally studied Photography at Salisbury University before moving on to teach Ballroom dancing for 7 years. While working in the dance industry I got the chance to film various dance performances and events and many hopeful new couples preparing for their first dance. I also have a YouTube channel I run and do my own editing for. I really got immersed in that process and it felt relatively familiar because I was used to photo editing. Putting them both together was a no brainer at that point. And thus, Aprebs Video Creations was born! Reach out to me about filming for your wedding today!

Andrew is a professional. From beginning to end we felt confident in his ability to run the show. He became part of our "vendor" team a couple weeks from our wedding but he made us feel as if he was hired way back. No added stress with him (can I get an AMEN?!). He made space for us before and after the wedding for a few couples-questions and I think that was our favorite part of the whole thing. We have sweet, loving, cozy, and real footage of all the jitters before and all the joy and happiness after the wedding. WE WILL BE FOREVER THANKFUL TO THIS MAN. WE LOVE YOU ANDREW

Designing, creating and developing a special event is my passion. I love what I do and feel excited and lucky everyday to work in the industry. I have been in the special events industry for over 17 years. The years spent supervising events has provided me invaluable knowledge of design, event timing, event management, logistics and immense respect of partners in the industry. There is nothing more gratifying than embracing my creative spirit and turning others visions and dreams into their reality.

Classic Catering really helped to make our wedding so spectacular! Sandy was always quick to respond and incredibly helpful throughout the entire planning process, really helping to make sure every detail was well thought out and just perfect. The food options were so great, and our guests loved all the food and drinks throughout the night. Norma and the entire team the day of ensured all the details were executed beautifully and did an incredible job being on top of everything. We highly recommend the Classic Catering team!

Tania is an amazing photographer and an even an amazing person! I would recommend her 100%. My husband and I begin working with Tania in December when she shot our engagement shoot. From the moment we met her she has been nothing but professional and kind. She helped us become comfortable with being in front of the camera and made sure she captured beautiful pictures of us. Tania was in constant communication with us throughout this process and when our wedding arrived last Friday, Tania arrived early for our getting ready pictures and stayed throughout our reception to capture all of our special moments. Tania made our wedding amazing and I cannot wait to work with her again for our maternity shoot! I would recommend Tania to anyone who wants a photographer that cares about making your wedding special!
