David was exactly what we were hoping for in a photographer and I couldn’t have asked for someone better to capture our perfect day. From our first phone call to getting our photos, David has been there for us and going above and beyond to help us and make sure our planning was going okay and just life in general. We were looking for a creative photographer to put their own spin on our photos and get some unique poses and shots and David checked that box over and over again. David uses modern technology to ensure he captures the best of your moments and enhances the environment around you for just an even better product. Above all, we felt like we made a friend due to David’s positive attitude, the laughs we shared, and eagerness to capture YOUR moment. He is obviously a master of his craft and I recommend him to anyone that is looking for creativity in their photos, while also still capturing classy and classic poses. David is an incredible photographer that I simply can’t recommend enough.

Hey hey 👋, I’m LaDonna. Wedding photographer & videographer with a passion for celebrating the love stories of couples from all walks of life. Growing up in the suburbs of Boston and attending undergrad in Connecticut, I’m a true New England gal. Winter holds a special place in my heart, as I embrace the beauty and charm of every location I photograph. I’m always delighted to travel wherever your love story takes you—even an Aspen winter elopement. That would honestly make my heart smile! 😊 My mission: create timeless, heirloom-quality artwork that reflects the unique connection & individuality of each couple I have the honor to serve.

Awarded Best of Zola
I’m typically shy and not very photogenic, so I was extremely anxious about how our wedding photos would turn out. But after finding LaDonna through a Facebook ad, I immediately knew I wouldn’t have to worry if she was our photographer. She took the time to understand me and helped me find my confidence in front of the camera. By the wedding day, I felt completely at ease and able to focus on the moment with my husband rather than my insecurities in my head. LaDonna and the LT² team captured everything beautifully, balancing candid moments with fine art shots that truly tell our story. The photos are so authentic, and I’ll cherish these memories forever, along with the confidence I gained. Thank you, LaDonna, for an unforgettable experience! 3 7.27.24

If you are looking for your photographer to create beautiful, fine art images that you can look back on years to come and remember how you felt just by looking at a picture, I think we're a perfect fit! I'm here for the relationships and memories that matter and to capture all of your real moments that make your life so amazing! Working with me is knowing your final product speaks to who you are as a couple (as well as gaining a friend for life). I'm not just your wedding photographer..I'm your forever photographer! Ready for your next step? Check out our packages and message me to chat and start planning!

Rachel and her team made our stressful and busy day absolutely wonderful, and now that we have our photos back, there is no denying that they were THE standout of all of those that we booked! The only thing that I would change is that she now has a new addition of a content creator that I have no doubt would be amazing! Our package included film and polaroids and Super 8 for Wedding Day and the night before. From a boudoir session in her amazing studio, a Welcome Dinner on a sailboat, different getting ready locations and all around our venue, each part was unique! Getting ready, first touch, the ceremony, cocktail hour, portraits, reception, and golden hour each have a unique different focus, which I absolutely love. The polaroids were an amazing touch, and the different types of film were such a vibe! I could not ask for more to have captured our memories and make them feel timeless! Of all of the research I had attempted to do to look for a photographer, Rachel was perfect and surpassed expectations! She and her team were flexible, experienced, professional, and have tremendous range. It was so evident that they put in work before the events to know what we were looking for. She even has great recommendations for other vendors and her connections show how well respected she is. Rachel also has a wonderful personality that seems to click with anyone. Rachel was wonderful to work with from the start. She had clear and consistent communication and it’s obvious that she is professional that loves what she does, and through our multiple sessions I had no doubt that she had our best interest in mind and was happy to be behind the camera and supporting us. The team was constantly multi-tasking, aware of what was going on, caused no concerns for us, but also always seemed to be in the right place at the right moment. She and her team were more than familiar with our timeline, what we wanted most out of the day, and needed no reminders, and as things will inevitably happen, they were quick to adjust with a smile. Time goes by so quickly during the events, and she and her team were always prepared and making what we had hoped and planned for happen! After our initial inquiry, Rachel responded quickly and we scheduled a video call, during which she was super engaged and attentive! We could tell that she really listened to what we shared we were looking for and seemed genuinely excited for what we were planning and happy to be a part of it. Her service guide and contract were clear and so were expectations. My husband and I could tell from the start that she not only had a great eye but had the business part of what she does down as well. There wasn’t a single instance during the period of time we worked together that I had doubts or felt on edge about our decision to go with her or that the end product from her team would be lacking. She checked in often and asked for a detailed questionnaire and mood board not only as a part of the inquiry, but also closer to the day which I loved as over months and months of planning things do shift and change. They did a great job of capturing candid moments and getting group shots. They were somehow able to let us enjoy the experience but also get those specific shots we’d requested. They were able to make each part of the day fun, memorable, and unique. We are so happy to say that we have traditional family portraits, candid, and even photos that look editorial!

No amount of words can express our gratitude to Lester & Dreisbach Photography and I could spend all day talking about how wonderful they are. They are beyond amazing and such beautiful human beings! We had searched high & low for the perfect fit and they both exceeded our expectations. Our wedding was back in November 2021 and the weather was pretty much all seasons rolled into one day making things extremely difficult and how they made it all work is a miracle! From our first Skype meeting(thanks Covid) they were so warm, friendly, down to earth and such fun, we talked for hours! We literally booked them that day as we didn't want anyone else. The communication was fantastic and their service was like no other, especially during such an uncertain time with Covid. They were flexible and really made us feel special on our day, you can see just how passionate they are about their craft! Their passion is infectious and we had sooooooo much fun having our photos taken by them, the freezing cold wind & jumping over fences were all made worth it. They're both so dedicated and one of our photos always makes me smile knowing that they had thrown my veil up into the air to try and get a great shot and had to run off into the bushes to avoid being in the photo(their dedication and yet care for you is next level!). They also made all our guests feel super at ease when taking photos. Considering how short on time we were and the weather constraints, we got so many amazing photos and we loved that you not only get the "editorial"/artistic shots but also beautiful candid moments captured that you don't even see yourself! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much we are forever grateful for having been able to have you apart of our special day!

I'm a lifestyle photographer with a passion for capturing your keepsake moments! With work experience in event management, I understand the behind the scenes of weddings & I am fully equipped to deliver you fun AND professional service on your big day. I've captured weddings, engagements (hello crouching behind a tree to capture the proposal moment), and so much more. What I love about weddings is witnessing such happiness and love. I spend my time capturing the glances between couples, Grandma's smile, and your special details. If you want to see where attention to detail, professionalism, lightheartedness & sarcasm meet...let's chat!

Tori was such a pleasure to work with. Her artistry shines through our wedding photos and she was incredibly efficient and professional throughout the process. When our wedding timeline went sideways due to another vendor's mistake, Tori was there to move things along with order and efficiency. She helped organize my big family quickly for wedding photos and captured our organic moments so beautifully that I prefer them to our posed shots. Because of Tori, our timeline got right back on track without having to sacrifice the quality of our photographs! She even calmed me in a moment of tears/panic and assured me "We are not doing a photoshoot. We are capturing your wedding day". This was just what I needed to hear in that moment in order to help me shift focus to what truly mattered that day. Tori's photos are beautiful, natural, artistic, and creative; and she is even more than that. Thank you, Tori for making our wedding day so special and capturing it perfectly :)

The whole process of booking with him was so smooth and easy, and he definitely has an amazing reputation out there - even the ABC license people had heard of him and told me he was the best and they were jealous!

For me, photography all started with the outdoors. As someone who loves to bike, hike, kayak, and backpack, photos were a way to capture the vistas and memories I was creating. Photography snowballed into sports, journalism, concerts, products, events, portraits, finally landing on weddings. Weddings became what I loved most due to their fast pace nature, creative freedom, and the opportunity to document real, life-long memories. Every couple and every family has a unique, incredible story. It’s a blessing to be able to document these life-changing events that people can look back on forever.

We hired Rob for our wedding in Aug 2019 in Norfolk, VA. Having worked with Rob before when I used to photograph weddings, I knew he had a creative eye, captured moments of true emotion very stealthily, and processed his photos in a more natural look rather than relying on heavy filters or overly exposed light. His style was exactly what we wanted. He was easy to work with throughout the whole process and really took the time to learn more about me and my husband. I love the portraits from both our engagement session and wedding. We received so many compliments from family and friends about Rob’s amazing work. We highly recommend Rob as a photographer!!!

Being the daughter of first-generation immigrants, I saw how precious photos become in life. Some photos are the only tangible connection we have to a person or place that is dearly missed. Thanks to my dad, I was introduced to the world of photography the same day I was introduced to the world. Because of my parents, our memories growing up are preserved. When I was 6, I received my own camera, marking the beginning of a lifelong dedication to documenting every aspect of my life.

My husband and I got married at the start of the pandemic. Who would’ve thought that not long after I met the man of my dreams the world would be turned on its head! But there we were, starting a new life together during an uncertain time. Our wedding plans went through many changes as you would imagine. But Nicole was understanding, and did her best to work with our requests. She seemed to be just as excited about our plans as we were. My husband and I both agreed that she was easy to reach, and she was always very pleasant whenever we did so. She actually showed up to my wedding before I did! I would positively recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer for a special event. I’m very pleased with how the pictures came out. I would like to hire her again to do some family photos.

Jon was highly recommended by our wedding planner (Lissa Marie Weddings and Events), and we immediately hired him after our initial meeting. It really says something when other vendors only have great things to say! He did such a wonderful job on our wedding day and really kepted everything flowing smoothly with no hiccups. Our ceremony sounds was absolutely perfect and the microphones were sooo easy to use and captured all the sound perfectly. Jon was great at making announcements, (even though it wasn't planned) like when he had to tell people to go to cocktail hour. We also had a photobooth package with him and the attendant did such a great job running the booth. It was definitely the most popular event and our families still raves about the pictures they took! From the moment we met Jon, he was just so easy to talk to and knew exactly what we wanted for the day when we shared our vision. Jon is so professional, supportive, and positive, and I can't imagine having someone else on our special day. He is definitely worth the money and I would hire him again without a doubt for any event!

Hiring Brittany and Heirloom Design and Co was one of my best decisions. Brittany was my Day of Coordinator and she did a magnificent job! I was worried that my vision might not translate into reality; what if it was a flop? what if it looked too small compared to my vision? Once I met Brittany, I had nothing left to worry about. She executed my vision and beyond with her beautiful touch! My wedding day was everything I could have ever hoped for and far exceeded my vision. Brittany worked well with my other vendors and all of the execution was like a well-oiled machine. I can't thank Brittany enough for her reassurance, expertise, and abilities to create something so beautiful. I don't believe any bride/groom will be disappointed hiring Heirloom Design Co!

Angela took the time to give me the exact hairstyle I envisioned, and even did a trial run beforehand to help ensure it was perfect. I highly recommend Angela T for any bride looking for an exceptional hairstylist who will contribute to making your special day seamless.

Hey there! We are so excited you stumbled upon our little corner of the wedding and event world! Working out of Howard County, Maryland and servicing the DMV and Eastern Shore, LoKel provides day-of coordination for the couple who has done most of the "ground work" and just needs a little help bringing it all together so you can focus on your day. Lauren (Lo) and Kelsey come together with their creative spark and years of experience in the wedding and events industry to bring your dreams to life. From grand ballrooms to backyard simplicity, the gals at LoKel have certainly done it all. We cant wait to meet you!

I got engaged on January 30th, 2024, and was married just a few short months later on May 18th, 2024. As a first-time bride trying to plan a wedding in such a condensed time frame, I was incredibly nervous, especially since I was trying to keep costs down. After securing my vendors and working on my timeline, it quickly became clear that there was no way I could enjoy my wedding day while worrying about coordinating every little detail myself. The sheer number of moving parts and tiny details was overwhelming. Enter Lauren and Kelsey. I had seen their work before as they were the coordinators for a friend’s wedding where I was a bridesmaid, and they did such an amazing job that I knew they were the perfect choice for my own wedding. Even though my venue provided a day-of coordinator, I realized that she (also so amazing at what she does) would be too focused on venue-specific duties like managing food and the bar to handle the full execution of my timeline, coordinate with outside vendors, or deal with the unexpected hiccups that inevitably arise. And those hiccups did arise. My bustle ripped, and Lauren literally crawled under my dress to fix it. We forgot to pick up the wedding cake, but they had it sorted. It even rained, and they navigated the situation flawlessly, all while managing family dynamics and calming me during moments when I felt completely overwhelmed. Your wedding day flies by, and before you know it, it's over. I am so thankful that I got to be present, enjoy every moment, and soak in the day without a single worry—thanks to Lauren and Kelsey. In just one month, they picked up every little piece of my 1,000-piece wedding puzzle and put it together seamlessly. Everything we envisioned, they made it a reality. Words really can’t describe how much value they provided. If you want to actually enjoy your wedding day, hire Lauren and Kelsey. They are simply the best. P.S. They even went the extra mile by bringing all the decorations, leftover food, gifts, and more back to our house, allowing us to head straight to our after-party without a worry. The picture below is one we got from them at home with our pups, whom they kindly took out for a potty break after the wedding. I seriously love these girls!

Working with Michelle at Granger Creative felt natural and like it was "meant to be." We chatted before the wedding day to make sure we both felt confident with the day-of timeline, and on the wedding day our couple commented that we must have known each other from before! Perhaps we got along so well because we're both mid-westerners? Or maybe it's just because creatives that love what they do are always an easy match. Either way, I loved working with this gal, and you will too!

Saroj James Hyoju, got into DJ industry upon walking into Latin club in Dallas, Texas in 2015. Coming from band background, he was surprised to see how people were moved by “Gasolina”, a reggaeton song. Observing how DJ was controlling the crowd’s energy while enjoying himself, this made him curious about club music genres, besides metal and rock. Following immediately, he hosted a Bring Your Own Beer (BYOB) house party, where 50 people showed up. A week later, he was invited to co-DJ at one of his friends’ wedding reception and rest is the history.

Hiring Saroj was the best move we made. He was FANTASTIC! He walked us through all the special songs we would need for our wedding, from the first dance until the last dance as we departed. We had no clue how many songs we would need to choose, his guidance saved the day. He kept us all on track and made sure our wedding went off without a stitch. Our guest couldn’t say enough about how great our music was and how great a job our DJ did. I can’t say enough about how great Saroj was. Any future events where a DJ is need will most certainly include him. We would never hire anyone else!

Hey there, I'm Elena! I’m a wedding and engagement photographer based in Bristol, VA/TN serving clients across Virginia, Tennessee, and North Carolina. While my heart is in the Southeast, I'm always ready to pack my bags and capture your love story wherever it takes you across the country. My shooting style is relaxed, playful, and evocative. I value connection, authenticity, and true colors. I help couples who love candid shots and cherish raw emotions! Before becoming a wedding photographer, I spent a decade as a travel reporter. This shaped my photojournalistic and observant approach. I absolutely LOVE hunting for the ideal moment!

We had the best experience shooting our engagement session with Elena. She made sure that we were comfortable and gave us confidence through teaching us how to pose. Her photos from the session captured the best light and were beautiful. Elena was a joy to work with and was very communicative throughout the process from giving tips, to being receptive to our ideas, and going the extra mile to find the perfect location.
