  • Serves Franconia, VA

I understand how it feels to be overwhelmed with options and not see yourself in the inspiration. Like you, I'm frustrated by the pressures placed on couples to have your wedding a certain way. No one should feel stuck doing things like everyone else. Your story is unique, just like you. I embrace comfort through natural storytelling. Fostering a relaxed wedding environment to capture love stories cherished for generations. Collector of tattoos and vintage cameras. Ravens fan and UFC convert. Always appreciating good whiskey and snuggles with my golden retrievers.

You should just stop reading this and book Nicole for your wedding now. Her ability to create warm, authentic photography that truly captures the moment is unmatched. Not only is she a gifted photographer, but she truly gets it when it comes to the day of the wedding. She did so well helping us transition from the ceremony into photos and then into our grand entrance. She made sure to snag us for "golden hour" when the sun was going down to capture the incredible shot below of us with the Bay Bridge. Nicole knows what she is doing and has got your back from beginning to end. And you will end up with the most amazing photography to remember your wedding day. I am very confident that she will soon make it big in the photography world as she becomes more and more known. Book her while you still can! p.s.-make sure you do the engagement shoot with her!!! This will help you all get to know each other and will put you more at ease when it comes to taking photos with her on the day of the wedding. :)

Hi, I'm Lee. Dreamer, Romantic, Storyteller... Growing up I didn't get it, I can tell you there is more than one photo of me with a bored and anxious look on my face. I can still hear my dad, who has now passed, say "if you don't sit still we will be here all day". As an adult, I now get it. Not being able to talk with my dad everyday or ask for advice, I'm so thankful to have albums full of family photos to hold in my hands. Fast forward to today as a DC wedding photographer, I want this for you. Nothing gives me more pleasure than capturing wedding photos that you and your family will cherish for a lifetime.

We are obsessed with our photos. He truly captured how our special day felt, not just how it looked, which was very important to us. You can hear and feel the joy and laughter in the photos! Lee did an incredible job of making my husband and I, who are not natural photo takers, feel completely comfortable. We would absolutely recommend Weddings By Lee Photography to any couple looking for a talented and personable wedding photographer.

She was always quick to respond, worked seamlessly with our other vendors, and she was even able to make a custom mash up for us as a reflection of our multicultural wedding. The music was simply beautiful. Stephanie played each piece with such emotion and skill, creating the perfect romantic and upscale atmosphere that we wanted for our ceremony and reception.

DJ Paul T

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,750
  • Serves Franconia, VA

I offer sound, lighting, photo booths, and special effects With a boutique approach to each couples wants, I promise more than just music and lights. I'll deliver what's right for you, tailored just for you. Forget the one size fits all DJ experience. From our very first meeting to the final song, I'm with you every step of the way. I am ready to share the great times with you and all of your guests.

Entertainment is arguably one of the most important and memorable aspects of a wedding, as it can truly make or break your day. Fortunately for me, I’ve worked in the service industry for over a decade and have seen my fair share of DJs and bands. This is how I met Paul. I always loved when he played at the bar I worked at because his sets were never the same—he read the room, kept the energy high, and was always amazing at it. I’ve also attended weddings where he DJ’d and MC’d, and those were the ones where I had the most fun. So, I was over the moon when I reached out and found out he was available for my wedding. I booked him immediately. Paul has been in the entertainment business for quite some time and offers more than just music. With options like customizable monogram/logo projections, a standalone or 360 photobooth (with an attendant and props), and uplighting, he helped us tailor our wedding experience to perfection. What I loved most about the photobooth was that we were able to pick our own template and backdrop and use our own logo/monogram for it. Guests received printed copies on the spot and digital copies sent to their phones. We also received a file of all the photos and GIFs taken, which was so fun to look back on. Paul has different equipment based on your space and vibe. The sleek white setup he brought to our small venue blended seamlessly with our aesthetic, while his ability to adapt his equipment ensured optimal sound quality throughout the day. From providing a lapel mic for our officiant to coordinating with our live acoustic cocktail hour, Paul went above and beyond to enhance every aspect of our day. Paul's responsiveness and flexibility, whether over email, text, or Zoom meetings, made the planning process seamless and stress-free. During the planning period, we met with him to discuss all the details like pre-ceremony music, procession, recession, introductions, first dance, last dance, parent dances, must-play songs, do-not-play songs, and whether or not we wanted requests (we opted for them, but only if they fit the vibe). He even let us cue up songs, coordinating with our wedding planner (for instance, signaling me when it was time for me to walk down the aisle). All of this was put in a shared Google spreadsheet and discussed during our meetings. He also had a remarkable ability to know exactly when to cut a song and have it fade out perfectly. As both DJ and MC, he effortlessly set the tone for the evening, keeping the dance floor packed and the atmosphere electric. He even looked like he was having a good time, cheering and dancing along with us. A few of our guests asked for his contact info and whether he did events other than weddings (which he does). He knew exactly what the crowd wanted and ensured everyone had a great time. And as an unexpected gift, his recording of our intro and first dance provided cherished memories we'll treasure forever, especially since we didn’t have a videographer. Thanks to Paul, our wedding was so much fun, filled with laughter, love, and plenty of dancing. We couldn't have asked for a better soundtrack to our special day.

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.

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

As a venue owner/operator, I have occasion to work with many event vendors. Rarely am I so impressed with a company as I was with Heavenly Spirits. They were set up and ready to serve well in advance of the start of the event. The set up was lovely and coordinated well with the theme of the event. The bar operated with an efficiency that kept the wait for a drink to a minimum. At the conclusion of the event, the team left the service area clean and they checked in with me before departing the venue. I HIGHLY recommend Heavenly Spirts and have happily added the company to our venue’s preferred vendor list!

Greetings! My name is Lionel and I am a full time traveling photographer from New Jersey that specializes in Weddings and Events on the east coast. I've been practicing both photography and videography for going on 10 years now and from the moment I picked up a camera I absolutely fell in love with it. Its difficult to not sound cliche but capturing once in a lifetime moments and then seeing the reaction of clients and their families is a rush and satisfaction that you just can not get anywhere else. Not everyone in life is able to realize their passion but I am thankful that I have found mine and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

I wish I could give Lionel more than 5 stores because he truly is an immaculate photographer. My husband and I decided to have a smaller, more intimate wedding and Lionel elevated the entire day for us. From pre-ceremony pics, during the ceremony and afterwards he was absolutely professional, joyous to my hubby and our guests and he captured all of the quirky moments that are the essence of our love. He has a keen eye for detail and finds beauty in every aspect of the room to capture. I highly recommend Lionel aka Brotha with a Camera for your wedding needs no matter how big or small.

Admittedly a hopeless romantic, I simply LOVE love. The beautiful season of life that you're in right now is a gift! Having a photographer you trust throughout the entire wedding planning process, as well as someone willing to advocate for you on your big day, is such an important role, and my biggest honor. The name In Bloom is inspired by my love for flowers and how they can be seen as a metaphor for life. A delicate staple of beauty that grows and withstands the elements, ultimately blooming and weathering the ever- changing seasons. My passion flourishes in capturing life's moments that are beautiful and fleeting, like a flower In Bloom.

Christan has such a positive and fun energy. We are so happy we chose Christan to be our photographer! We got our sneak peeks so fast which was a highlight to end our night! Her work stays consistent and what we saw on her website is what we received with our gallery. She worked her magic with our Florida heat and gave us beautiful photos we will cherish forever. If I could've I would have had her with us for longer hehe! On your wedding day your photographer is with you all day so you want to make sure you have someone with good, fun (and professional at the same time) kind of energy and that was In Bloom Photography!

As most hopeless romantics do, I love love. I love the small, quiet moments as much as the grand gestures. It is a unique honor to be the one to document those details on a wedding day. I believe deeply that love is as close as we’ll ever get to magic.

We couldn't be more impressed with Jenn's photography. Her ability to capture our emotions and those special moments in her photos is what truly sets her apart. Every time I see a picture from our shoot, I'm immediately taken back to that moment and fall even more in love. During the shoot, we were able to play, laugh, and be completely immersed in each other all while Jenn captured us in our purest forms. We will definitely be asking for more photos from her in the future!

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.

I’m so happy I went with Julia. She did an amazing job during our trial (she did both the hair and makeup on me) and a fantastic job on the wedding day. She had a colleague take care of makeup for me and my bridesmaids since my hair was so extravagant, but her colleague did a great job, too. The bright picture is shortly after they finished, and the night picture is many hours later and the makeup held wonderfully with no touch ups. I also got so many compliments on the hair!

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

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!

I could go on and on and on about Tori! We recently booked her at the recommendation of a close friend who has used her for family photos and newborn shoots for our rehearsal dinner and it was the best decision. She was WONDERFUL! She took the perfect amount of candids and posed photos, she is wonderful with children, and the best part is we got the flawless photos back in under 2 weeks! It was the perfect way to come back from our honeymoon and relive all the moments from the evening. I will 1000% be booking Tori for any future photography needs and suggest you do the same.

For as long as I can remember I have always loved to create. My passion for photography started when I was a teen. As I honed in on my craft I began to photograph on a more professional level right out of high school, but stepped away for academic pursuits. After completing both a bachelors and master's degree in Anthropology, I came full circle, determining that a career in doing something creative was where my heart lies. Whether it is your wedding, or any other special moment in your life, I cherish the opportunity to document it in a way that highlights the artistic elements, while still capturing an authenticness that is uniquely you.

The quality of Alyssa's work is excellent - the photos are timeless, classic, and thorough in documenting our wedding from start to finish. We absolutely loved having Alyssa there and can't recommend her highly enough! Her photography style results in gorgeous, meaningful images that we will treasure forever. We're so grateful we chose Alyssa Marie Photography to document our special day.

Hey! I'm Angela! I've been a licensed hairstylist for 18 years. The last few years, bridal hairstyling has really taken over my heart. I love being a part of someone's most special day! I love hearing the bridal party stories about how they've bonded over the years, all while getting them ready to walk down the aisle together. I would be honored to be a part of your big day too! I am big on making sure everyone is happy with their hair! I bring good energy and a calm vibe to your day. Put some music on, and I'll be ready to knock out your hairstyles in true celebration form!

Angela T - Hairstylist was a pleasure to work with for our wedding day. She was very easy to contact through text or phone, which made communication a breeze. The quality of her work was amazing for myself, my bridesmaids, and my mother. She took her time with each of us, but stayed on schedule, which made the getting ready process stress-free. 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.

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!!!

Brittany has been amazing throughout the entire process of working on our Vow Renewal invites. I had several new items pop up, unexpectedly, and she went right with it and offered her best advice.
