I cannot recommend Candice and the team of women at Society 11:11 enough! She did my makeup for my wedding, along with my MOA and my mom, and every single one of us was blown away by her talent. My mom even loved her makeup so much she didn’t want to remove it! Candice truly is the best at what she does, using top-tier products to create flawless looks. Before my wedding shower, I was dealing with stress-related skin irritation and redness, and Candice worked her magic to make my skin look flawless. Her recommendations were spot-on and showed her expertise. I utilized both hair and makeup services and everyone LOVED their look-thank you to the ladies who were apart of the hair team! I am now a client for life! I will continuously book with Candice because her work is unmatched. Thank you, thank you, thank you for making me feel beautiful on such an important day!

I initially hired Marta to help with my flower set up as I was using fake flowers, but she ended up being someone I really relied on and who helped make things run smoothly all day. She was so sweet and so helpful I really can't express that enough. She came to my rehearsal and made sure everyone knew what to do. She also made sure those who weren't at the rehearsal knew what to do. Marta helped get all our flowers and decorations to the venue from our hotel and brought everything back to us at the end of the night. She set up everything so beautifully and was always there to help with anything I needed. I don't really know how to write this, but she just made everything so easy. I am very much a type A person, but Marta made it easy to let go. Any time I was going to do something, Marta was there and ready to do it herself. I can't thank her enough, but just know, hire Marta! I didn't know how much I needed her and I'm so happy she was with me on my wedding day!

Dover Hall made all of my wedding dreams come true. I really wanted a Lake Como, European estate vibe for our wedding. I never thought it would be possible, especially in the Richmond area but Dover proved us wrong. Dover Hall was the first and ONLY venue we toured after getting engaged. We have received endless compliments on not only our venue choice, but the staff and ESPECIALLY the food. Emily, Wendy, and Chef Leah worked with us during the whole planning process to ensure we were satisfied with everything. The entire staff is extremely accommodating, kind, patient, and helpful with everything. They are so knowledgeable and really walk you through the entire process. I have never been to an American style wedding before so I had no idea what I was doing but they were extremely understanding and held my hand throughout the last almost 2 years. We also really wanted to incorporate Thai and Korean dishes with our reception and Chef Leah was able to collaborate with us to create delicious options for our guests. We wish we could go back everyday and relive it all over again, Dover Hall is truly one of a kind and such a beautiful place-- we are so happy with our choice.

Hey! I’m Rebekah Vijay. I’m passionate about creating story-directed artistic and emotional films to capture the most special day of your life. After all, at the end of the day, it’s memories that we die with. My goal is to capture the honest and true essence of your wedding day by candidly capturing the big moments and everything in between. If there’s one thing I’ve learned about myself, it’s that I’m a storyteller. I love having the great gift of documenting amazing couples as they celebrate their love from engagement, to wedding day, to a life full of love.

Our family has been undoubtedly blessed to have had the opportunity to work with Rebekah! We had just received our final film and no words can accurately describe how beautiful it turned out by capturing our most special and treasured memories from that day. Working with Rebekah has been a blessing from the start - her communication was outstanding and very much appreciated in that from the moment I had sent out an inquiry to when we had gotten our final film, Rebekah had always checked in with us, given us updates, and I never felt any detail was overlooked. Every moment I had expressed I wanted captured during our calls were all included beautifully in the film that I felt perfectly represented our wedding day. More so, we were given our sneak peak trailer so quickly after our wedding day! Moreover, Rebekah has made us feel so comfortable and I had felt so confident with her that I was able to be fully present and not worry about absolutely anything on our big day. If youre considering Rebekah, please please don’t hesitate! It will be nothing short of a blessing to work with her

DJ Anthony Bryant (aka DJ Ant-Boogie) was absolutely amazing and such an important part of our wedding experience. When planning a wedding, there are a million things to worry about. DJ Ant Boogie is not one of them. He was so nice and so patient and professional with us during the planning, and an absolute joy to work with during the actual wedding. We had such little direction for him and gave the most vague descriptions of our friends and ourselves and the general vibe and he crafted the most perfect wedding playlist I have ever heard. All night people were complimenting us on our amazing song choices (all DJ ant boogie) and the dance floor was alive literally all night. He also did such a wonderful job with all of our special requests and announcements and all the “scripted wedding stuff” that happens during a wedding. Everyone had such an amazing time and he was such an integral part of that. DJ Ant Boogie, thank you so much for such a wonderful experience. We had a perfect night, and we are so grateful.

We absolutely loved working with Stephen and Rosie! The video they made of our wedding day was better than we could have imagined and their eye for detail and composition is unsurpassed. From the first time we talked with them on the phone we felt absolutely at ease and knew they were the right decision. This is a team that loves love and is so gifted at capturing all the little details that make a wedding video so special. I really appreciated that the voices of us and our loved ones were recorded and used through the video. They asked what was important to us and made sure those people and moments were captured in our video. They worked seamlessly with our other vendors, were always so kind, and you can tell they genuinely love what they do. My husband is camera shy and was nervous that he would feel like he was being recorded all day. After the wedding, he said he didn't even notice they were there, which is wonderful since they captured him laughing and smiling all day. I would absolutely recommend them for your special day!

Jessica and her team did the florals for our wedding, and they were AMAZING! She was an absolute joy to work with from start to finish. I reached out to many florists, and she was patient and intentional, taking my mumbled jumbled ideas and putting together something magical for our big day. No idea was too big or small. We had several one-on-one meetings, and she put together an inspirational slide deck. That’s when I truly started to see all the pieces coming together! She worked within my budget and let me know beforehand if there would be any additional costs based on what I wanted. It was also nice because I could handle all my floral rentals through her (things like vases and candles) without needing to contact additional vendors. On the actual wedding day, Jessica and her team were incredibly kind, keeping me at ease. I trusted her to get creative and make decisions when I didn't have an exact plan for something. Cannot recommend f&b enough!

Not only does he take beautiful photos (we have SO many favorites!), every step of the process was fun and absolutely perfect. He is very professional, accommodating, and incredibly detail-oriented, thoughtful and organized--perfect traits for a wedding photographer! Before coming to the wedding he went out of his way and asked if I was hungry or needed something from the store which was very considered. We truly couldn't have imagined a better photographer for our wedding day! We cannot thank and praise him enough, and we feel so lucky to have found him for our wedding. I would have a very hard time letting a friend of mine choose a different photographer.

After our engagement photos I knew I chose the perfect photographer for our wedding. Then once we got the sneak peek photos back from the wedding... WOW, JUST WOW. They are beautiful and she captured the night perfectly. You can just feel the love and fun through her photos and whenever I look at them, they put me right back to that night. I loved working with her, she is the kindest soul. I will 100% be reaching out to her again for whatever occasion comes next. Thank you for everything, Jules!!

My husband and I were married at The Boathouse at Sunday Park this summer and we could not have been happier with our venue choice. Amanda was so enthusiastic and timely in responding to all of our questions during the planning process, and her extensive knowledge of weddings ensured that no detail was overlooked. On the big day itself, the staff went above and beyond decorating the venue with the items we had dropped off the day before, allowing us to relax and enjoy our special moment. The Boathouse at Sunday park, which overlooks the lake, was the perfect romantic backdrop for our ceremony and reception. Everything was lovely and ran so smoothly thanks to Amanda's careful orchestration. We are so grateful to her for helping our wedding vision come to life seamlessly. The Boathouse is a gem for couples looking for a venue that offers gorgeous scenery, delicious food, and attentive yet unobtrusive coordination.

Nestled in the peaceful, rolling farmlands of Charles City, Open Air The Glebe is only 30 minutes from Richmond or Williamsburg. This 10 acre farm features a historic home, scenic tree-lined drive, multiple barns, and a large tented patio.

Whatever you desire, we can make it happen!

I do not even know where to begin - I could never recommend Jennifer and Fete de Jour enough!! Jennifer was so amazing to work with throughout the entire process and literally made our day ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! Everything went so seamlessly thanks to Jennifer and I enjoyed literally every second of our wedding day completely relaxed knowing she had it all covered. From her encouraging texts during planning, to her brilliant idea for where to put the arch when we moved the wedding inside due to a hurricane and literally EVERYTHING she in between ... simply amazing. I could go on and on! Look no further, Jennifer & Fete de Jour are THE best!

We had our ceremony in the courtyard on a Sunday afternoon. There was a storm earlier that day and the staff spent an hour or more clearing the debris from the area before our event. They had a rain plan, but thankfully we didn’t have to use it. The courtyard is beautiful and shady. We had our ceremony facing the fountain and were able to decorate it how we wanted. The entire facility is beautiful and great for pictures. Casey was very responsive and helpful throughout the process. Alexa was our day of contact and she was amazing! The space is not very ADA friendly but Casey made sure that there was a ramp and special parking for our guest that needed it. All of our guests said it was a beautiful space. Several stayed in the hotel for the weekend and really enjoyed it. We got a suite which was beautiful and large enough for the bridal party to get ready in. We had hair and make up come to us for 5 people and had plenty of space. Overall, it was great and the staff was amazing.

We won a giveaway for this venue and had no idea what to expect- but the owner, Logan, walked us through everything and helped deliver a wedding we will never forget! Logan is very helpful and communicative. The venue is rustic, charming, and quaint in all the best ways. The views are breathtaking- especially at golden hour! The arches and covered spaces are easy to make your own with decor and provide the perfect backdrop. The get ready space and parking is not ideal, but they have come such a long way in a short amount of time and continuing to make improvements every day as a brand new venue! I’d definitely recommend Bentwood Farms for your wedding.

I am thrilled that you have found your way here. Working in a creative field like photography, I have such an appreciation for movement and connection and meaningful, timeless images. It’s been my goal since becoming a full-time wedding photographer to deliver to my clients enduring images that can be appreciated by their children and grandchildren. Photography is about capturing that perfect moment but it is also about providing a positive portrait experience for my clients so that they not only remember the images but they remember how much fun they had making the memories.
