  • Serves Gainesville, VA

I’m Vanessa, a Gaithersburg, MD-based couple + wedding photographer for the wildly in-love. My life was changed by love. Seriously, rocked, rumbled, wrecked, repeat. Okay, it might sound dramatic, but my relationship with my now-husband has truly changed my world and soul for the better. We were lil baby high school sweethearts turned long distance when my husband joined the Marine Corps, and our journey together means absolutely everything to me. I know yours does too, and getting to capture it is the hugest joy and honor.

We are thrilled with Vanessa Bennish Photography! From the moment we met Vanessa during our engagement photo session, we felt completely comfortable with her. Her warm personality, professionalism, and ability to make us feel at ease in front of the camera were immediately evident. The photos she and her team captured on our wedding day are nothing short of stunning. Each shot is a work of art that beautifully reflects the emotions and details of our day. Her composition and editing style are very well balanced and give our images a timeless quality look. We are obsessed with how she and her team told the story of our wedding through their lens— their talent for capturing those intimate moments and candid emotions is unmatched. One of the unique touches that made our experience even more special was Vanessa's ability to shoot in different photography formats and mediums, including 35mm film and Polaroids. This added an extra layer of depth to our photos and truly gave the whole experience the cherry on top! Vanessa, we are immensely grateful for the memories you've given us. We've been going through our photos repeatedly, and each time, we are filled with joy. Thank you so much for everything—you were a dream to work with, and we can’t wait to schedule another session with you in the future! If you're searching for a photographer with an eye for detail, incredible creativity, and a knack for making you feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera, look no further than Vanessa Bennish Photography. We are extremely happy with our choice and couldn’t have asked for anything more. Thank you, Vanessa! Kim & Daryl

Hi! I'm Kimie. I'm a Sagittarius/Capricorn based in Richmond, Virginia where I live in a cute little house with my husband (of 4 months!) Ben, and our two perfect puppies, Millie and Babe. I dance to my own beat and sing my own tune.

We hired Kimie James to shoot our very small wedding ceremony at Maymont in August. In the words of my very shy older brother, "Kimie felt like family". Kimie is professional, easy going and is nothing short of magic. She was able to capture every moment so well. Each shot was better than the last. Kimie was even able to get a shot of the 5 flower children, ages 2-8. I don't know how you do what you do but thank you for everything!! Kimie helped to make our day more special than we could have dreamed. She went above and beyond. We adore her!

A little bit about me so you feel like you're connecting with a real person- I'm Emily. I grew up on a farm in Wisconsin and so I love animals and nature. I love thrift stores, tropical plants, and horses. I live with a little tribe of wildmen- my husband, my two year old, and our cat who is probably part lion. I have a counseling degree and that has really formed me as a photographer. My film guy is my husband Zach, and we met in a library. He knows five different ways to brew coffee and can play six different instruments.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot recommend Fern & Fountain enough! I was actually the first bride with the privilege of working with both Emily for photography and Zach for our wedding video back in May 2019. It was so fun to have a husband/wife duo capture all our special moments. When I found out it would be raining on our wedding day, Emily sent me a list of all the reasons why it would make for exceptional photos and then proceeded to stand in the rain without an umbrella to capture our first look and wedding party pictures. Her unique style and mood was exactly what we hoped our wedding album would be! Our wedding photos are absolutely perfect! Zach pieced together a perfect embodiment of our big day in a wedding video that we will cherish forever. Fern & Fountain will put in the time and effort to beautifully capture the best day of your life!

  • Serves Gainesville, VA

I believe that the best wedding photos aren’t just images—they're feelings, memories, and stories frozen in time. I specialize in capturing authentic, emotional, and timeless moments that make couples feel truly special. With a keen eye for raw emotions and genuine connections, I create a visual narrative that reflects the real magic of your wedding day. My passion is turning fleeting moments into lasting memories, so you can relive the love, laughter, and joy for years to come. Let’s tell your love story—beautifully, naturally, and just the way it happened.

When we started our search for photographers, we knew we wanted to work with someone we "clicked" with because that would translate to us being comfortable in front of the camera. I remember the first call with Demetric and just feeling such a sense of ease compared to other photographers we had spoken with, which continued into our first meeting in DC. His flexibility and advice through our planning process was so helpful too. 

 On our wedding day, Demetric made us and our guests feel so comfortable -- this is such a gift to any couple on a day that is fueled by all of the emotions. Demetric's thoughtfulness, guidance, and joy were so special to have as a part of this day. And while we got to experience someone with such a relaxed demeanor, we know his focus is always on the details of the compositions and capturing unique images in his beautiful style. Demetric's work is incredibly dynamic and his photos are so rich -- we are counting down the days to see more photos from our wedding day! 

All in all, if you want someone who is going to roll with the punches, give you awesome ideas, and make you feel at ease, Demetric and his United Photography team are the way to go!

I have spent the last 8 years planning, coordinating, and running events, conferences, and weddings. When the world froze during COVID, I continued my studies and got my Certified Wedding Planner certificate. It has been beyond fulfilling to bring families together and be a part of couples’ love-filled, special day.

Fern managed the wedding prior to, during, and the daunting cleanup task after the wedding. Everything was well planned, coordinated, on-time, and all the vendors were kept in the loop; making my day as the DJ for that event super easy. My clients were nothing but smiles the entire event and a big portion of that is Fern's ability to keep them calm and realize that our clients "own us" that day. Looking forward to my nice smooth event experience working with Fern.

Working with Nadine was seamless, easy, and (even for someone as camera-shy as I) fun! She made my partner, my family, and me look and feel our best. Nadine had tons of great ideas about where to shoot, plans in case of rain, and jokes to keep us smiling. She made creating a gallery of gorgeous photos feel effortless. We loved working with her and recommend her to anyone looking for timeless photographs of their special day!

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. ​

Katie was a breeze to work with! I am not big on real flowers and wanted something that would represent my husband and I. Her prices are comparable to real flowers and are even more lovely! I love that her flower designs mimic real flowers and that foliage was an option. She took the care to make sure I had what I wanted and sent me multiple pictures during the process and of the finished result before we picked them up for the wedding. She accepted my feedback and made changes to the bouquets to match my vision. I still have my bouquet and my husbands boutonniere as keepsakes that remind me of our special day. I would use her services again and again!

We worked with Michelle as a day-of coordinator, starting about 8 weeks before the wedding. From the first call, it was clear how organized, friendly, and responsive she was. We had an additional barrier or being on different time zones, but she always handled it was ease and was a HUGE help with major tasks such as being in person for our venue walkthrough, coordinating with the venue about final details, making a day of schedule, and leading the rehearsal. We had so many questions for her, and she was always so informative and quick in responding to them. She truly made our day perfect, I don’t know what we would’ve done without her. She is clearly passionate about her work, and so professional and experienced. But beyond that, she sincerely cares about understanding our vision and making our day feel as special as possible. The day of the wedding, she was AMAZING. Words can’t even describe it. We didn’t have to lift a finger, she handled everything—setting up our DIY items, directing the wedding party where to go, coordinating with the other vendors, transitions, everything! We were blown away, and she still managed to check in with us throughout the day on top of being so busy! I am so grateful for the time and care Michelle gave us to make the day feel so special. We literally were completely stress free on our wedding day, and a HUGE part or that is due to Michelle. Thank you so much, Michelle! I wish I could give you more than 5 stars! We would recommend her to ANYONE.

I'm a new vendor to Zola however I've been planning weddings and events for the past 15 years! It all began when I sharpened my skills in floral arranging, event planning, and luxury hospitality while working at a private estate. During this time, I also opened my wedding planning business which led me to coordinating the majority of my weddings in San Francisco and Napa. Fast forward to 2025 and I've moved across the country from Northern California to Ponte Vedra, Florida and I'm loving the laid back beach lifestyle with my husband and kids! I look forward to assisting new couples with their dream wedding!

Katelyn Theobald Events was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, their communication was always timely and complete, addressing any questions or concerns we had quickly and thoroughly. The level of thoughtfulness and attention to detail they brought to planning our special day was truly invaluable. They were incredibly organized, ensuring every aspect of the wedding ran smoothly without a hitch. Katelyn and her team's insightful guidance and expertise were instrumental in making our vision a reality. We are so grateful to have had them by our side throughout the process, and would highly recommend their services to any couple planning their wedding.
