I went with Prestige Planning for my wedding planner because of the ease of use. I met with my certified wedding planner before I booked and she was amazing and explained the whole process. I knew I could plan my own wedding but I’m not a pro at all so I knew I would need a lot of help. I didn’t want to spend the money on a full wedding planner so going this route was absolutely perfect. They were with me every step of the way. I especially liked the SOS calls they give because I needed them to assist with a vendor I was having an issue with. I knew I was going to need help with logistics and stuff on the actual day of my wedding because I wouldn’t have time to do so, so I added the coordination add on to my package. So I got my wedding planned with major help from an actual certified planner and coordination for my wedding day for less than others are charging for just coordination. Just go for it. You will not be disappointed at all! They really went above and beyond and did more for me than what they had outlined they would do. I got more than my money worth.

My style is distinct, a result of both my unrelenting commitment to my craft and complete trust from clients who commission me. You’re not going to read about any awards, badges, or “top 10 lists” because what matters is you’re in love with the work that you see and are ready to trust me entirely to do what I do. This trust drives me to find the perfect balance between creative experimentation and honest documentation.

All I knew was that I was marrying my fiancé and that Sam was going to be our photographer. I didn’t care about anything else except that he was our photographer.

He answered all of my questions throughout the process quickly without getting frustrated. Lastly, his work is is just AMAZING! Highly recommend if you love bright colorful unique photos.

Hi, I’m Yelitza (Je-lit-sa ... don't worry! I got you). I’m a photographer, wife, nurse, fur-mom of three, new avid hiker, and a pretty darn good baker; and I’m here (dramatic pause) to tell your story. I found photography my freshman year of high school (I needed some credits in a pinch and this was it), three days in class and I was in love. Fast forward a few year (hey! hey! not too many years... Watch it! lol) and I'm still just as in love as that third day.

I've worked with this photographer a few times and each time it has been like a fairy-tale shoot. An ordinary couple, set in a scene to make heads turn as they walk by. It's truly a magical experience. And then getting the pictures back is a whole set of feelings. My shoots have been with my boyfriend and with each picture I recieved back, you could truly see the love and energy captured in time. Forever cherished memories.

My husband and I don't have experience in being in front of the camera, but Brittany made us feel so comfortable. I am always shocked at how well she captures us on camera.

Kelton was wonderful to work with from start to finish. He stuck with us even when we had to postpone our wedding for two years due to the pandemic, so we really appreciated his commitment to working with us. Kelton has a great system for figuring out your taste, priorities, and run of show. He set up very quickly at our venue, which was key given we were running on a tight schedule, and he managed to produce nice sound in a very cavernous space (no idea how!). He kept us running on time and made all transitions seamless. His music perfectly matched the vibe we wanted, starting with a relaxed cocktail hour and dinner, and gradually increasing the tempo into a full-scale dance party as the night went on. And our friends and family had an absolute blast! He had everyone from 20 somethings to family in their 60s and 70s dancing until the very end! We got so many positive messages the next day, including one person who described our DJ as being "on fleek."

As owner and lead wedding planner, Janice has her hands on every Bellwether wedding. She’s a logistical virtuoso with crazy-high standards. She’s never met a detail she couldn’t wrangle or a problem she couldn’t solve. You can always expect Janice to keep it real — a communication style you’ll be thankful for when dealing with budgets, wedding day mania, and drunk Uncle Ted.

My husband and I found Janice through her blog and were drawn to her transparency about an industry that can often feel opaque and hard to navigate. We met with two other potential planners, but we decided to follow our initial instinct and put our trust in Janice. She did not disappoint! Janice kept the entire planning process incredibly organized and did an amazing job of finding vendors that aligned with our (sometimes very specific) vision. Anytime we started to feel overwhelmed, Janice was ready with a detailed timeline, polite-but-firm reminder emails, and a very encouraging attitude. Janice was also very receptive and enthusiastic about helping us incorporate important cultural elements into our day that she had not had experience previously (ex. A Japanese kagami biraki ceremony). Most importantly, Janice was extremely reliable. For example, my bridesmaids and I were supposed to get our hair and make-up done at a hotel the morning of the wedding, but after we woke up to a power outage and alerted Janice, she immediately jumped into action arranging a new location and updating the beauty and photo teams about the change. She then raced over to the hotel to help me and my MOHs pack up my wedding dress, shoes, accessories, and bridesmaids gifts and convinced the concierge to let us use the emergency freight elevator so that we wouldn’t have to run down 15 flights of stairs. Her husband drove us all to the alternate location and, miraculously, all of the hair, make-up, group photos, and dressing were completed with a whopping 15 minutes to spare! Despite the early morning switch-up, the rest of the day went off without a hitch and we knew the wedding couldn’t have gone as smoothly as it did if it weren’t for Janice’s work (both in the planning and the day-of coordination). We are so glad to have hired Janice and 100% recommend Bellwether Events.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Marquita for my wedding. She listened to me, asked great questions, and made our time getting ready for my wedding enjoyable. She has a creative mind. I asked for color on my lips and she blended a warm, vibrant lip color that fit our color scheme and my personality. Marquita was professional. She listened to any contract concerns I had, she was on time. She worked well with the other contractors such as the photographer, church staff, and wedding planner. If you want someone who works hard and delivers beautiful results, I highly recommend Marquita.

OMG! I absolutely love Katy. From the initial appointment to determine what our vision was for the wedding and reception decor, I felt very at ease with Katy. Katy took great care to try and learn what my vision was for the wedding and how to use her expertise to create what I wanted. I liked that - and this enabled us to truly create a custom one of a kind look for our big day. Katy was kind, accommodating and responsive to emails, texts and phone calls. I would bounce things off of Katy and without hesitation, she would first clarify what my vision was, and then add her input based on her expert eye for detail, color coordination, etc. On the day of my wedding, I broke down into tears at the beautiful, dreamy atmosphere that Katy and her team had created for my spouse and I. It was literally everything thing I had dreamed of; it had the glitz, glamour, bling, sparkle, romance and more than I wanted. Katy even added touches here and there that she felt were needed to add more beauty to the venue. She exercised her creative rights. My guests could not and have not stopped talking about the beauty of it all. Additionally, a few days before the wedding, I was not pleased with a mock up of my bouquet (provided by another vendor) - and Katy to the rescue! Within about 3-4 business days, Katy and her staff PERSONALLY delivered the most beautiful, sparkling bouquet that I have ever seen (along with a jr. bouquet and corsages). She made it her business to make me happy. I am truly sad that I won't be talking to Katy as much any more since the wedding is now over. Katy delivered on ALLLLLLL levels and I can't say enough about her. Thank you soo much Katy. You will forever be a better part of our memories. If you have the pleasure to work with Katy, you will not be disappointed, I promise you. I really felt that Katy put her heart into this....and the results show it. ​

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
My wife and I were searching for a photographer who could capture our wedding as it really was, from the intimate moments to the wild dance floor, and Natasha's documentary-style fit our needs exactly! She listened carefully to what we wanted - minimal posed pictures, non-traditional "first look", lots of candids, etc - and she more than delivered. We had 130 guest count and Natasha covered basically every inch of our wedding day, no need or want for a second shooter. She was everywhere and so stealthy that we didn't realize she was so close to us the whole night until we got our pictures back. Our ceremony was outside and dinner/dancing were inside, and regardless of the lighting, the pictures turned out perfectly, she was even able to capture non-blurry pictures of guests jamming on a packed dance floor! She was a pleasure to work with, the instructions of her process were easy to follow from start to finish, and had a lot of examples to look through which gave us a good idea of what we were getting. We especially appreciated that she sent us a few pictures the morning after our wedding as a sneak peek, very nice touch. She's genuinely kind and calm which helped us remain present during our wedding day. Everyone who has seen our photos are amazed by the quality and we are too. We're thrilled we picked Natasha and highly recommend her!

The quality of her work was flawless - my makeup looked natural and absolutely on point, and it lasted the entire day without a hitch. She had included two makeup trials prior to the wedding so I knew exactly what to expect, and she was more than happy to cater to requests from my bridesmaids as well. I chose to go with the airbrush makeup option, and it was so worth it - my makeup stayed perfect from start to finish. I can't recommend Beauty By Dannie enough for any bride looking for a talented, professional, and accommodating beauty team for their special day.

From the moment we met Desmond and Vera we knew we were on to something special. Their demo videos are beautiful and we could hardly wait to work with them. Then we postponed our wedding for a year due to COVID. When Spring of 2021 arrived we were ready and eager for our couples video. We had a fun time during the shooting and Desmond was full of great ideas for creating beautiful shots of us together. When the big day arrived Desmond and his assistant helped us capture so many special moments with their calm and experienced guidance.

I have an absolute passion for capturing genuine moments and the magic of love that couples share when marrying the love of their life. I love capturing every detail, every special moment you share, stunning portraits of you and your partner-- All of it! My goal is to capture breathtaking photos that take you back in time when you see them in a storytelling & photo-journalistic way and in a vibrant & airy style. Images that will be treasured throughout the years, not only by you but the following generations to come.

Giuliana provided the flexibility I needed. Being a new mom and trying to plan a wedding during a pandemic was more than insane. She was able to deal with my being bad at preplanning and need to change things up with little notice. I cannot express how appreciative I am of that! She’s very sweet and amazingly talented. My family was treated like people instead of clients and it made everything go so smoothly. Without her advice I would have been lost when it went to planning out the pictures. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!! Her prices are fair and she’s just an amazing person. Thank you for everything Giuliana! :)

Having your memories documented is truly one of the most important things. When we look back on our lives we are the sum of our experiences and being able to share that journey with your present and future family is such a gift.

Vicki was one of the best decision we made during our wedding planning process. As soon as I saw her portfolio I was immediately drawn to the look and feel of her work. She is very talented and always seems to find the perfect lighting. Our engagement shoot was the first time my husband and I were ever professionally photographed together. She also made us feel so relaxed. Her direction felt very natural. We received our sneak peek the night of our wedding and we can’t wait to see the full gallery. I would recommend Vicki to anyone that is looking for a photographer. We are already planning to book her again for our anniversary shoot!!!

Growing up in rural Virginia my intro to photography came to me at 14 while breaking into abandoned houses with friends to take photos that can only be describe in retrospection as “experimental”. Fast forward a handful of years and I found myself going 'legit' and holding a BFA in photography, later finding yet more perspective and cutting my teeth shooting society events in NYC. Having now spent more years of my life taking photos than not, it’s safe to say that I’m all in.

Cassidy has an amazing report when working with clients and the staff on weddings. We have absolutely had the best experiences from the booking process, through to the ease of the day of the wedding. Always being great at transitioning the clients, bringing smiles to their faces and then producing beautiful imagery.
