  • Starts at $1,200
  • Serves Drakes Branch, VA

Hello, my name is DJ Joey B. My job is to make your next event, One To Remember! I do not scratch, I just play the best music tailored to your event. I have been DJing professionally since 2005. I have had the opportunity to DJ all types of events. I got my start while I was working for Pearson Music Company. While there I was learning about live sound setups and DJ setups. I made friends with many of the local DJ’s in the area. They told me I should put my love of music together with my knowledge of sound equipment and bring music to the masses.

Joey was an outstanding DJ/MC for our small outdoor wedding. He was very helpful and professional, and the guests all had a blast. 10/10 would recommend!

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.

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

Bianca is incredibly talented and just the best! She did the makeup for my May 2024 Indian fusion wedding (both for my wedding day and my Sangeet), and I could not have felt more beautiful. Something that was incredibly important to me when deciding on a MUA was finding an artist that is well experienced with a variety of skin tones. Bianca absolutely killed it while doing a variety of different looks. Leading up to my wedding, I went to Bianca for a few facials. The actual experience of the facial was so relaxing, and my skin was so hydrated and glowing leading up to my wedding. After my wedding, I also asked Bianca if she could do a makeup class for me. She had made me feel truly so beautiful (but still like myself). The class made makeup approachable for someone who has very limited makeup experience. She was SO thorough afterwards in all the materials she sent me with instructions and products listed to be able to recreate the looks we went over. I cannot recommend Bianca enough for all of her services!!

Hey I’m Anthony! I'm a Virginia based DJ/MC or "Vibe Creator" as I prefer to call it. It's my absolute joy to run a business that specializes in creating and sharing once in a lifetime experiences for some of the most incredible people. My versatility and passion for my craft has kept me a sought after DJ for over two decades. With my experience in the wedding industry, I have the knowledge and skills to handle all aspects of your wedding entertainment. Providing you with an epic dance party is my main goal, but as your wedding DJ, I'm focused on making sure your entire wedding runs smoothly. I hope we get the chance to celebrate soon!

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.

I wish I could leave 10 stars instead of just 5! Karie and Holly were the best wedding bartenders I’ve ever experienced and I’m so thankful we decided to go with Shaken not Spurred! From the beginning Karie was incredibly excited to bartend our wedding. She offered everything but her cloths off her back to my wife and I on our special day. During the wedding Karie or Holly would come ask my wife and I if we would like any drinks while we were tending to guests or eating dinner. I’ll tell you what those girls know how to make a drink! All of our guests commented on how good the signature cocktails tasted and Karie and Holly would work with guests to meet their needs outside of the cocktail list if need be. Lastly their attention to detail is impeccable. I’ve attached images below of Katie’s personally designed signature drink menu that incorporates our wedding colors and a hint of holiday cheer. In addition Karie gifted us with this beautiful custom designed appetizers board with our last name and 2 rocks glasses. I will be revoking to Shaken Not Spurred to EVERYONE!

Winter holds a special place in my heart, as I embrace the beauty and charm of every location I photograph.

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

I have unofficially been the family photographer for years. Whether it be formals or family reunions, I’m usually the one behind the camera. The two things I value most are my family and our memories. What better way to engrain a memory than having it in a timeless photo? That leads me to where I am today! I am here to learn, grow and along the way help other people freeze their memories in time, as I do my own. When I’m not behind the camera or with my nose in a book, I am with my two fur babies; Sadie and Nash; my life partner and best friend, Isaiah; or my family. Thank you for stopping by and I hope to meet you soon!

Kelsey Sledd Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. Their communication was strong and on time throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was amazing, perfect, and excellent. Kelsey was so helpful, listened to everything I wanted, and was there for me throughout the day whenever I needed it.

Kelsey is a dream to work with. I looked through her portfolio and knew I wanted to work with her. Not only did I love the engagement shoots she has done, but it was amazing to see that she had done a lot of weddings at the venue I picked. I had her do my engagement photos & 6hrs for the wedding. She was very responsive anytime I reached out. I know wedding season is very busy, I never felt like I was left hanging. While my new husband is comfortable in-front of the camera, I was very much not. Kelsey is great at guiding and making you feel comfortable. Our engagement photos were something different from her portfolio, the arcade, and she did a phenomenal job like I knew she would. Stephanie assisted us on the day of the wedding and she was wonderful too. I provided a detailed shot list for the family portraits and she did a great job navigating the family. After dinner Kelsey was able to provide me with a sneak peek of my photos. I am so excited to see the rest of my photos!

She brought extra bobby pins and hairspray and showed up perfectly on time (in fact she was a little early!). She was great and I highly recommend her!

I've worked as a wedding planner at large hotels and resorts to small local wineries. To me, every wedding is unique and I'm here to make sure your vision comes to life.

I think with every wedding there can be bumps along the way that can really alter how your day goes. However, I was incredibly lucky to have Alanah assist me at my rehearsal and the day of my wedding. She was fast at responding to all of my needs and was never far away when I requested her. I will say with the errors that happened on my big day, none of them reflected back on Alanah. I am able to look back and know that the rehearsal and ceremony would not have went as smooth as it did without her help. Moving forward, anyone would be SO lucky to have her as a wedding planner!

I am passionate about decoration,coordination and planning because I believe they have the power to transform spaces and create meaningful experiences. It all started when 5 years ago I became the event coordinator of my church. We've been in official business for two years now and I LOVE what we do. Ultimately, what fuels my passion for decoration and planning is the ability to bring beauty and meaning into people's lives. It's the joy on someone's face when they walk into a space I've decorated and feel a sense of wonder or nostalgia.

From the moment we started planning our wedding with The Bliss & Co LLC, we knew we were in good hands. Naytza and her team were incredibly friendly, fast to respond, and highly professional throughout the entire process. Their attention to detail and commitment to making our day special was truly above and beyond.

David was absolutely amazing for our ceremony and reception! During the build-up to the day, he gave us insightful tips and tricks to use in our planning efforts. Additionally, he was always available to answer questions that my now-husband and I had. The ambiance he created at the reception area was perfect, and I can't take much credit for that. I told him our theme, and he knew exactly what to do. It was perfect. Lastly, when I told David I wanted to dance under the stars at the night's end, he made that happen. I have wonderful memories captured from beginning to end of family and friends on the dance floor or under the stars enjoying the music and celebrating with us.

Not only did he pick out music for our dance floor that was so specific and special to us, but he also was an amazing MC throughout the day. He absolutely brought the energy up! 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! We even had a piñata at our wedding, and DJ Obehi was so game with our song and introducing it - he even threw me the bat! All of our guests absolutely LOVED Obehi. Hire him - you won’t regret it!

Hi! I'm Kelly! I'm a wedding and portrait photographer based in Charlottesville, VA. My specialty is couples' photography - surprise proposals, engagement sessions, and weddings! I capture love stories all over Virginia and Washington DC! Everyone's story matters. That's why I believe it is important to let my clients know that I am an LGBTQIA+ and BLM ally.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Kelly was better than I could have imagined! She talked with me over a Zoom call at the beginning of planning our wedding and made a wedding timeline with me. Over the months of planning our wedding, we edited the timeline a few times, and I was so happy to have her experience and guidance in that since we were not hiring a wedding coordinator. Kelly was prompt with her responses to my texts and emails, and always professional. Our engagement session with Kelly was so fun, and she made us both feel comfortable during our first professional photo shoot ever. She delivered over 100 photos just from our engagement shoot! The day of our wedding, Kelly wore many hats. She acted as coordinator by keeping everyone in line and everything according to our timeline. She was also basically my maid of honor, fixing my dress, buttoning my gown’s sleeves in the car on the way to our ceremony, and swapping her shoes with mine for 30 minutes so my feet could have a break from my uncomfortable shoes before our first dance. I also appreciated her taking charge when needed. It took some stress off of me and allowed me to enjoy our big day without having to boss people around, haha. When it was all said and done, she delivered about 1,000 stunning photos of our day that we will always cherish, and even sent 100 printed photos as a gift to us. Kelly, THANK YOU for making our wedding day run smoothly, hyping us both up, making us feel comfortable and heard, and delivering such special memories in picture form. 3 So thankful we found you to be our photographer!

We live in Texas but always dreamed of doing a New York photoshoot.  We contacted Manai and told him all our ideas.  We were very specific in our demands.  Manai did not disappoint!  He was so patient with us. We ended up booking him for an additional shoot.  When my wife saw the pictures she was in tears.  He met our demands and more.  A true gentleman. Thank you Manai!

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.

We are so happy with the way out flowers turned out for our wedding day. Paula and Samatha were such a joy to work with! We sent them our color pallet and ideas, which they were able to replicate and make it our own unique array of flowers. They provided great service with sending samples of their dried/preserved flowers and also a flower swap that we had to do. Would recommend for you occasion!

My goal is to create a visual narrative that speaks to the hearts of those who look at my work. I pour my heart and soul into every shot! So, whether it's an intimate elopement or a grand celebration, I'm here to craft images that reflect the true essence of the day. Let's turn your special day into an everlasting masterpiece.

We had Josie capture our destination wedding / elopement with family & friends in Turks & Caicos. Josie was such a wonderful photographer to have beside us on our wedding day. She captured every special moment and even had all of our photos returned back to us in a months time (& a very large quantity too)!! Our photos had us smiling and feeling like we relived the day all over again. Not only is she an amazing photographer but she has such a calming and peaceful personality to be around. She made the entire wedding day light and fun. Taking photos with her felt so natural and easy. If you are looking for a wedding photographer you will make the best decision choosing to have her by your side - especially for destination weddings! Josie is easy to communicate with and responds promptly to all questions which made the planning process smooth. She adapts to the style of photos you would like - whether more portraits or more candid (or a mix of both). Within a week following our wedding she had sent us a link to access a bunch of sneak peak photos. Reliable, personable, professional, kind, talented are just some words to describe Josie. You will be at peace choosing Josie as a photographer. Josie we are SO grateful and blessed to have had you capture our wedding day - we will cherish our photos for many years to come.

We had the most amazing experience with Him & Her Photography! Josh and Alisha did both our engagement and wedding photography and went above and beyond from the very beginning. They were so fun to work with and on the wedding day, provided great support for timeline and guidance. They even had our sneak peek pictures ready DURING our reception for guests to view— which both we & the guests were in awe of. I can’t recommend them enough!

Stephen James Films made the best wedding videos we could have imagined and we are so happy that we have the videos to last for the rest of our lives! We initially did not plan to hire a videographer for our wedding and I'm so happy we changed that mindset! We had conveniently met them at another wedding, just a few months prior while my husband was fascinated by their drone. We instantly connected and started chatting about the what if they came to our wedding. After seeing some of their previous videos, we knew we needed to have them come. Throughout planning, we kept them in the loop and got to know them more as we finalized the plans. Stephen and Rosie travel throughout the country and included a date night video in our package which we got to know them further and spend some fun time outside of wedding talk with them. This was such a unique offer and while it was only a 60sec video, the quality of what was produced from being on a date night with them really made us know we made the right decision. The videos from our wedding were quickly turned around and we have had multiple friends ask us for their contact. They got all the details and channeled our vision and vibes from the wedding to the videos.
