Eric was awesome to work with from the start. He’s a true professional at his work and is extremely personable. He really understood the vision for our wedding and fulfilled it ten times over. We used Eric for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception and for all three he exceeded our expectations. The music was phenomenal and the lighting looks amazing in pictures. He helped us host a great party, was receptive to all of our song requests and preferences, and checked in with us as needed before and throughout the wedding. He kept the energy up all night and knew exactly what to play when. He was also a great emcee, super likable and not the least bit cheesy or abrasive during any announcements during the reception. Everyone complimented how cool he was and what a great set he played. We cannot recommend him enough and can’t wait to party with him again!

French Honey Hospitality was absolutely amazing for our wedding. We had some hiccups in the planning process regarding bartending services and deciding what we wanted to do for this. We worked with Maegan, she came in and answered any and all questions we had and quickly sold us on her bartending services with how kind and caring she was about our special day. We spoke with Maegan multiple times regarding specialty cocktails to fit our theme and she absolutely nailed every signature drink based off the creative names we gave her. Her imagination for cocktails was astounding and you can tell she really cares about the drinks she prepares and is willing to push the envelope for your special drinks. On wedding day, Maegan was very friendly towards everyone and was very professional. She showed up early enough to have everything prepped and ready to go by cocktail hour. She also has her own bar that looks stunning and really adds to the vibes to the cocktail hour bar. We felt that Maegan and her husband took care of our guests and ensured that they had a great time. They made a beautiful menu to display all the drinks being provided which helps the guests know what to drink! I remember one of my favorite moments of the night after I had multiple drinks, Maegan hand delivered some liquid IV and water bottles to me which was very much appreciated. If you are looking for bartending services, I cannot recommend French Honey Hospitality enough. Maegan was always very responsive and receptive to our vision. They have a variety of extra services that can elevate your wedding to the next level. Maegan was an absolute pleasure to work with and we loved every aspect of the bartending services provided for us on our special day.

From the very beginning of planning my surprise proposal to my girlfriend, working with Grace was an absolute pleasure. She was not only receptive to my ideas but also shared her own equally creative suggestions. Grace's professionalism and attention to detail were outstanding. What truly made the experience special was how she made the entire photoshoot feel like a fun activity for us as a couple. Her creativity shone through as she guided us through various poses that felt incredibly natural. Grace's ability to put us at ease made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. One more remarkable detail was her dedication to research, ensuring we had perfect sunrise photos. It was evident that she went the extra mile to time everything perfectly. What stood out the most, though, was her unique talent for capturing the emotion and joy of the moment. I can't thank her enough for creating such a magical and unforgettable memory for us!

The photos are beautiful, she really captured the drama of our venue and the vibrant colors we chose for flowers and decor!

Our polished, no-cheese performing style is perfect for couples who want an awesome dancing experience for their guests, but aren't interested in the typical "entertainer emcee" style of performer. Visit our website to learn more about our services and approach!

I love dancing (badly) at weddings so a priority for me when planning my own was that the dance floor be packed! MyDeeJay paired us with DJ Jeff who was great to work with. He was super understanding of our music indecisiveness and some last minute adjustments. Day of, he made sure he knew how to pronounce everyone's names and gave all the speakers a heads up so they weren't surprised when it was time for them to speak. He also took our Spotify playlist for the pre-ceremony/cocktail hour/dinner and broke it up and expanded it to fit the vibe for each of those. And, of course, he played music that kept people on the dance floor all night! Making sure we had the right DJ was a priority for me and I'm so relieved we ended up with Jeff!

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

Anji and Pete exceeded our expectations in every way! Having interviewed other wedding photographers for weeks, we immediately felt comfortable with them. We worked with them for our engagement photoshoot, followed by our week-long Indian wedding. We told them the general look we wanted for our engagement shoot and they were able to find a location close to us. For our wedding week, they both made sure that they understood our vision for each event and knew exactly what we wanted to capture. It was most important to us that our photos looked natural and not too staged/posed. And we're so glad that we came across them because that is exactly their style. During our wedding week, they both felt more like an extension to our family/bridal party. We are very happy with all of our photos: formal portraits as well as candid shots with family and friends. 10/10 would recommend them!

Lissa and her team was absolutely wonderful from the initial contact up to the end of our wedding day! No matter what kind of wedding you're having, she will make you and your partner feel like you have all of her attention as the most important couple. Throughout the whole process, she was so professional and supportive, even with not as traditional ideas. She had such a quick response time, usually within a day, or a couple hours, and sometimes even sooner! Her attention to detail in making my timeline was also amazing and I felt that we were able to have the whole day planned to the dot before the big day. On the wedding day, she made sure everything ran so smoothly and we were not stressed out at all! We had some small hiccups with the layouts that our venue had set up, but a quick word from Lissa had them fixing the issue. She's the perfect amount of assertiveness, professionalism, and friendliness with everyone, including the guests. The largest thing that stood out to us was how much all of our other vendors loved Lissa and working with her, and we could see it throughout the day. Our venue had restrictions such as a short setup window, but Lissa communicated with them and navigated the situation very well to make everything go smoothly. Even though we had a venue management person for the day of, it was nothing compared to working with someone that truly focuses on you and your needs. Our vision was captured beautifully, and we do not regret hiring her at all!

I had originally booked both Hair and Makeup with Cloud & Rea Studio but due to a scheduling conflict Kelsea ended up stepping in the day of the wedding to help me and my bridal party with all our different hair looks. She was great to work with and pulled together 4 very different hair styles while dealing with different hair textures and lengths. We were able to clearly communicate our vision and she brought it to life with skill and professionalism. She also did a stellar job at the end of our getting ready session when my matron of honor still needed to get her hair done and we were running behind to get picked up. Kelsea was able to get her hair done in a fraction of the time she normally would have and it looked amazing all day. We had a late morning wedding with a late afternoon reception and everything held up for all 4 of us through the ceremony, pictures, and dancing. I would highly recommend Kelsea if you’re in the DC area.

My dedication has earned me awards, and I've had the privilege of capturing countless unforgettable wedding moments. Excited to collaborate on impressive videos that preserve cherished memories forever! Let's make your vision a reality!

Awarded Best of Zola
Henry and his team were beyond incredible. During our first meeting, we initially connected over both of our families being from Haiti. Henry answered all of my obnoxious, bridezilla questions without an ounce of irritation! He was so patient and accommodating. When it came to our wedding video plan we provided Henry with a very detailed day of timeline. Henry utilized this timeline to ensure that all of the important details and nuances of our special day were captured. On wedding day Henry and his team were the epitome of professionalism. They arrived early and Henry introduced us to his team and what they would be doing, and got straight to work. They blended into the background of all the hustle and bustle of the day seamlessly, which allowed for everyone to act natural and allowed Henry to get really organic footage. But by far the most significant and poignant example of going above and beyond and professionalism that I can share about PixImpress is this one. After the ceremony, the bridal party went to the roof to take photos and during that time the zipper on my dress broke. The wedding planner, nor anyone on her team had the appropriate materials to help patch the dress so we could finish photos. But one of Henry's team, who happened to be his lovely wife, came to my rescue with safety pins on hand! Talk about MVP! I could not have dreamed of a better videography team, and my husband and I look forward to using PixImpress in the future.

I never thought I would be a wedding photographer. I started my professional career in Boulder, Colorado, riding on the backs of motorcycles, chasing professional cyclists through winding roads and epic climbs. I never thought I would find another career as exhilarating and rewarding but I was wrong. I photographed weddings in Colorado, but it wasn’t until moving East, to Charlottesville, Virginia, that I fell in love with them. I love all of the beauty of the flowers and the pretty clothing, but what I love most is documenting the love between the two of you, and the complete joy of your best day ever. We celebrate all couples!

I've known Beth with 3 Cats Photo for years and it was an honor to have her photograph our wedding. She made my wife and I's pinterest board dreams come to life in addition to taking pictures of all the tiny details we didn't even know we wanted until they existed. Beth is organized, kind, and so knowledgeable in addition to having a beautiful eye for the perfect moments and compositions to make every photo a work of art I want to frame on our wall.

We would highly recommend Brian to DJ your wedding! While we were planning, he was very easy to work with, and helped us articulate and envision what we wanted our wedding to be like - and during the event he was phenomenal. One of our biggests anxieties was that not too many people would be dancing, but he had a great mix of songs that appealed to the entire cross section of our guests - the dance floor was packed the whole night. 11/10 would highly recommend!

Fun fact, they actually filmed some of scenes for the Game of Thrones spin off, House of the dragon there! It's hard to pick favorites but if your wedding includes a dog in the bridal party, a dress with pockets and the cupid shuffle....COUNT ME IN! Among my never-ending list of dream sessions is of course a wedding at Disneyworld and the ultimate outdoorsy engagement session with the wild horses at Shackleford Banks. Don't be surprised when I ask you to add me to your pinterest boards so I can fangirl over your wedding plans.

Hannah was excellent with communication, she always answered my questions in a timely manner (and I had a lot of questions). The day-of had its own hitches but they were just about the only thing I didn't have to worry about. They were on time, professional but still warm and comforting on a very stressful day. I cannot say enough good things about them. And of course the photos are gorgeous.

For the trial and on the day of my wedding, my girls and I worked with Kim (hair) and Jenna (makeup), and they were both amazing. So kind, so friendly, and clearly knowledgeable! I was deciding between two hairstyles, and Kim was happy to try both in my trial. I had a couple things I wanted to change with my makeup, and Jenna was more than happy to accommodate! I was incredibly pleased with both looks on my wedding day, and everyone looked incredible!! I was definitely very blessed with the weather on wedding day, so that also helps, but hair and makeup stayed in place fabulously! The cherry on top is that everyone was just so sweet and easy to talk to!! Made the start of the day so pleasant and relaxed, and it seems like all my girls had a great time, too!

Our team is dedicated in delivering memories.

My Husband and I got married April 14th, 2024 and didn't think we'd "need" a Videographer. This was the very last thing we added to our wedding planning.. yes, even after small things like arranging the seating chart, whether we wanted favors, etc. This by far was THE BEST DECISION WE MADE. We found Ledd Lens on Zola and inquired about their services about 2 months before the wedding. Usually, couples book videographers at least a year in advance. They asked what our budget was, what we were looking for and came back with 3 options to choose from. The prices were VERY AFFORDABLE and included their TRAVEL to Philadelphia. Having every moment on video to rewatch with our family or just alone is the best feeling after all the planning we did over 13 months. Randell was amazing! He had us choose 3 songs to use in our highlight video, but ended up using 1. The other 2, he chose, and they fit even better than the ones we thought would! He also threw in a few bonus footage as well. Absolutely amazing and professional company to work with. We are so happy!! Thank you Ledd Lens!

wish I could give more than 5 stars for this amazing duo! We were able to secure Modern Social’s services for two of our daughter’s weddings in 2021. Each reception was thoughtfully designed and perfectly executed. The fact that several of the vendors asked me for their contact information says it all. Thanks to Modern Social, our only job as parents of the bride was to have a blast on the dance floor!

Are you tired of scrolling through wedding websites full of photos of shoes/calligraphy/earrings/etc. and wondering where the people are? Do you love moments more than things? If yes, you're in the right place. Forget about the table settings, instead embrace spontaneous joy and honest, natural moments.

Darcy was an absolute pleasure to work with and we LOVE our photos. She truly captured the emotions of the day and the essence of all the people we love the most. Any time i look at our photos, i find myself involuntarily smiling. She captured the classic posed photos AND the precious in-between moments where people are being their most authentic selves (the face my dad makes when he's really intently listening, the hand gestures my mom uses when she's explaining something and can't find the right words, the face my mother in law makes when she's cracking herself up, the face my father in law makes right before the tears fall, and so so many more). Not ONLY are her photos amazing, but she made us feel so relaxed on the day-of. Her style is totally unobtrusive, which is just what we needed. Darcy got such amazing photos of all our guests we put 4x6" prints in our thank you cards and people were SO appreciative. She's on fridges across America. Comments we've gotten in response to Darcy's photos: "WOW your photographer is phenomenal", "this is the best photo of us in existence", "you guys look so happy!", "I feel like the photographer really captured your personalities" If capturing joy is important to you, hire Darcy. My only regret is getting her for 7 hours instead of 9.

Like many in the industry, I fell in love with planning weddings when I started planning my own in 2017. At the time, I was a corporate lawyer at a big firm in DC and it just hit me: I was totally in the wrong field! Since then, I have dedicated all of my free time to arranging my own events, helping my friends plan their own, and dreaming of the day that I could provide the same service for others.

Evermore Occasions gave us the wedding of our dreams! Carmen met with us early to make a design plan for a beautiful aesthetic with lots of personal touches. When we had a specific vision in mind for any aspect of the wedding, Carmen made a plan to execute that vision within our budget, and if we were not sure what we wanted, Carmen showed us multiple design options to help us figure out what we liked. If we did not have a strong preference about a decision, we went with Carmen’s recommendation because we trusted her completely to make the right choice for us. She took the time to get to know us and our taste and preferences so that she could select options that we would love. We appreciated that Carmen always gave us multiple vender options with detailed notes as well as her thoughts and recommendations to assist us with choosing vendors. Carmen always worked within our budget and did not try to push us to spend more than we were comfortable with. But if we asked to see vendors above or below the budget range we had discussed, she was always ready with that information and prepared to discuss how we could offset any budget increases. Once we had our vendors selected, Carmen made sure our contracts addressed all of our needs and facilitated any questions or issues we wanted to negotiate. She also gave us valuable insight to understand industry standards and what we should look for from vendors. In the lead up to the wedding, Carmen fielded questions and communications from all our vendors, and even from family members and the wedding party as we got close to the wedding, which was unbelievably helpful. Carmen and her team truly took all the little things off of our plate in the weeks and days before the wedding so that we could focus on the important things. On the day of, Carmen personally took care of making sure all the important things were handled, and someone from her team was always there if we needed something (although we didn’t because everything was so perfectly planned!). Between the ceremony and reception, Carmen made sure we got to try our signature cocktails and each of the appetizers so that we did not have to worry about missing them during cocktail hour. The set up and take down of everything happened so seamlessly that we weren’t even aware of it, and at the end of the night, all the leftover items as well as any gifts or cards were perfectly packed up in our bridal suite. Carmen and her team made the wedding planning process easy and fun, and the day itself was everything we wanted and more. My husband and I, as well as our families, will always be grateful to Carmen for giving us a beautiful, memorable, and incredibly fun celebration of our love. Thank you, Evermore Occasions!

Mike was our DJ for our wedding and all I can say is WOW. He truly was the absolute best DJ we could ask for. He made the planning super easy with the app and explained exactly how to use it. I had told Mike I’d like lots of mixes and never a full song and he did just that. I even sent some tik toks of mixes I wanted and he did those too. All of our guests had an amazing time and were raving about Mike. I can’t thank you enough for making my wedding a dream come true. If you are looking for a caring, responsive, fun, reliable DJ look no further.

Alison with Bloom Culture really puts SO much work into making the DIY process as easy as possible! Her YouTube videos and DIY proposal guides are extremely detailed, and it was honestly a blast to put together my own florals for my wedding. I got a group of friends together and we all built the bouquets/boutonnieres/etc two days before the wedding, and it was so much fun! I got to make everything exactly the way I envisioned, and the flowers turned out sooooo beautiful! Such a great experience!

Tara Beth Photography is a place of inclusion, empathy, intimacy, and care. From the first email, I take care with my clients. Considering them all unique, and with that, their stories being unique. We talk about how you want to be captured, how your love should be captured. We go over insecurities, love stories, and anything else that may come up during our Zoom calls. I don't want to be just someone you hire. I want to be considered someone you trust, and enjoy to have around!

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Tara Beth for our wedding in December 2022. We started following her instagram years prior and fell in love with how she captured every moment, from the guests to the couple. Not only were her photos amazing, but being a part of the LGBTQ community can feel daunting at times when reaching out to vendors, specifically for same-sex weddings. We had a few tough experiences with other vendors in regards to being a same-sex couple, but Tara Beth, as she is a part of the community, made it easy to feel comfortable and accepting. We contacted her and were met with a quick response. From the start, we knew she was the one. Her vibe and passion for love sold us! My wife and I were very nervous to take photos, but Tara Beth reassured us that she would walk us through everything - and she did just that. She talked us through our first look and it was an amazing experience. She also guided our party and family photos, which was super helpful as we were able to get our photos done ahead of schedule! We appreciate everything Tara Beth did for our special day and would recommend her 100 times over!
