Fourth Photography, LLC

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,299
  • Serves Glenn Dale, MD

I'm William, a dedicated and passionate photographer/videographer based in Washington, DC. My love of photography was born out of my love of travel. While exploring other countries and cultures, I was using my phone to document the people that I met and the places that I have been. This led me to buy my first professional-level camera; it has been with me ever since. I consider my photography style to be timeless. When I'm not behind the lens, you'll find me at my local movie theater or spending quality time with my family and friends.

We had a small and simple wedding but wanted some good pictures. William was very professional, and the pictures are amazing! They absolutely capture the day just as we remember it. The online gallery is very easy to use and William delivered us the pictures very quickly.

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."

Mess Hall 

5.0

Washington, DC
  • Venue
  • Up to 150 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $6,000

Mess Hall is a modern wedding venue located in the heart of Washington, D.C. The only private event space in DC that looks into an open industrial kitchen, Mess Hall provides an urban and inviting atmosphere that your guests won’t soon forget. The polished concrete floors, exposed industrial ceilings and mid-century modern décor all make this venue the unique and versatile space you’ve been searching for. Having hosted events for countless local clients, such as DC Brau, The Smithsonian Institution, The Embassy of Japan and more, Mess Hall has the experience and reputation needed to host the celebration of a lifetime. For a true urban wedding experience in the middle of one of America’s most well-known cities, look no further than Mess Hall!

My husband and I had a tiny COVID wedding and chose Mess Hall as our venue for a post-wedding party to celebrate with all of our friends a year later. Our experience working with the team at Mess Hall was completely wonderful from start to finish! When we first saw Mess Hall and met with Al, we knew we’d found the right place for our party. It was such a warm first meeting, just checking out the venue over a couple of beers, and we could totally picture ourselves and our friends in the cool, laid-back space. We knew right away that we could trust Al to help us pull off our vision for the party. A few months later, Mess Hall added their new event coordinator Jordan, who is absolutely wonderful. Great vibes from the entire team—incredibly supportive, willing to do anything to make our party perfect, and always at the ready with helpful suggestions when we needed them. The day of the party, we felt so loved and supported by everyone at Mess Hall while we collaborated on setting things up (Al personally helped us hang our neon sign and disco ball) and put the finishing touches on our vision. Jordan and Al both made sure everything went smoothly all night—and we have Jordan to personally thank for documenting the party on our polaroid camera! It was a perfect night and we can’t recommend Mess Hall highly enough!

  • Serves Glenn Dale, MD

We are a full service event planning company. We love wedding planning and look forward to speaking with you and sharing how we can ensure your event is a memorable. We specialize in attention to detail and making sure your event runs efficiently and smoothly. We have planned thousands of events over the past fourteen years. Events ranging from weddings to Mitzvahs to large scale concerts and festivals for thousands of attendees. Regardless of the event site, size, or budget, we place a premium on attention to detail and design. We make sure the event fits your personality in every way possible. We'll work to make your dreams a reality.

We worked with Michelle for the day-of/ month-of coordination package for our wedding and are so glad we did. Michelle is incredibly organized, responsive, and is always thinking 2-3 steps ahead. She worked with us for about a month leading up to the wedding, working with us to review our timeline & vendors and offering helpful suggestions along the way. Michelle used her experience to help us anticipate and prepare for every aspect of our wedding, which is exactly what we needed. Most of all, she cared deeply about getting to know us and our vision for the day so she could work on executing that vision while we enjoyed the day. I planned most of our wedding, so I was initially on the fence if I should reserve a day-of-coordinator or not, since our venue had a catering manger; but looking back, I would absolutely urge every couple to DO IT. After meeting Michelle and having a wedding that went so perfectly, I really see this as an investment in the time & energy you put into the planning process. Knowing that Michelle understood exactly how I wanted things to go and I could trust her to make that happen allowed me to full be in the moment during our wedding and enjoy every single minute of the day. Michelle's rates are incredibly reasonable for the level of service and peace of mind she brings. I am so grateful for Michelle's time, care, and attention that helped make the day so special for us and allowed our friends and family (and us!) to enjoy every single minute.

  • Venue
  • Up to 150 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $8,500

The Tower Club is a wedding venue located in Tysons, Virginia. Visitors to this venue may be impressed by its pristine, contemporary appearance, but this club is much more than a fresh-faced novice. Management is continuing a tradition of excellence that stretches back more than 30 years. Their knowledgeable events team is happy to offer ideas and advice, but their goal is to realize your vision. They pledge to work with you, and pour over every detail, to ensure that your celebration reflects your particular needs and style. The Tower Club knows that no two events are alike. Their events team is committed to helping you through every stage of the process. They will be delighted to assist you with any logistical issues and can provide a list of some great local vendors. Their goal is to help make your wedding a day to remember.

We decided on the Tower Club to hold our 40th wedding anniversary party at and it exceeded our expectations! The venue was very impressive with amazing views on all sides of the Washington DC metro area. Our guests enjoyed being able to spend the cocktail hour either inside or on the outdoor wrap-around terrace on the 17th floor. The drinks were varied (including cocktails like mojitos) and the food was perfectly done and delicious. The space allowed our guests to transition easily between the dining room to the vestibule which contained the bar and dance floor. The evening went off without a hitch and our guests stayed till closing as they were having such a good time. Of particular note was our event executive, Ms. Lindsay Rhoades. She was very welcoming and easy to talk with, listening carefully to our vision of the event and making appropriate suggestions. It was her wonderful personality that initially impressed us. During the process leading up to the event, Lindsay was always on top of the preparations, was able to answer all our questions and make requested adjustments to our plans for the event. We are very glad we chose the Tower Club for our event and would put them first on our list for any future events or parties.

I am a modern-day storyteller, wielding my camera as my pen to capture the tales that unfold before me.

With that, I've spent my life learning the arts and working in event management in the world of Country Clubs before creating Mountain Mama Florals.

Wonderful service, a wonderful person, and beautiful florals! Mountain Mama Florals was such a pleasure to work with! Savannah was always quick to respond and was so helpful in guiding me through the floral process, since I was unsure about what I wanted. She sent me recommendations and inspiration photos and always gave me multiple styles to choose from, like when we were choosing vases. She was also super nice and flexible when I wanted to add things to our centerpieces and used photos to make sure we were on the same page with what we were getting. She even was able to add an extra centerpiece day off when I forgot to tell her that I had added a table..whoops! We were so lucky to have found someone who matched our budget and made us the most beautiful floral arrangements! I was so happy with my bouquet and our guests loved them too. So many people wanted to take some of the beautiful flowers home with them! I have already recommended Mountain Mama Florals to a friend who is getting married in the spring and I hope to be able use them for other events in the future.

Hello , beauties! I am so glad that you are here! My name is Cristina and I am the owner of Christy Beauty LLC. I am a professional makeup artist in the DMV areas specializing in bridal makeup . I love connecting with people and enhancing their natural beauty. I went to at Axel Makeup Academy, where I learned how to create beautiful looks . Life is all about learning . I've been very passionate about beauty, so I continue my education taking workshops and classes regularly. Being able to make someone look and feel their very best especially on a special day is why I love doing Bridal and special occasion makeup so much.

I cannot recommend Christy and her team enough. She was communicative, receptive and accommodating from the start. I wound up changing my look twice and she could not have been nicer about it. Her makeup style is nothing short of stunning. I felt every bit a princess on my wedding day and my wedding party kept saying they get like they were “getting celebrity treatment”. Her makeup was natural but enhanced what I wanted so I felt glamorous but didn’t look cakey and her pre- makeup moisturizing routine is 10/10. I’ll use her services again.

Weddings by Kristy

  • Serves Glenn Dale, MD

Midway through vision boarding, thinking ‘this is a lot’? We hear you. Working with us is like having a professional tour guide to lead you through bringing your ideal wedding from mental picture to actual day. Because the best wedding is the one where you’re relaxed, toasting champagne, and being all lovey with the person you adore. Google us to see our 5-star reviews!

Kristy was the wedding vendor I didn’t know I needed, until I met her! My husband and I hired Kristy as our day of coordinator for our wedding last weekend and she was nothing short of amazing! Once our wedding was about 4 months out and we really started to get into the weeds of planning our big day, we realized that we needed a day of coordinator as we were doing a lot of DIY touches for the wedding and needed someone there to make sure our vision could actually come to life. Upon meeting Kristy, she immediately gave us a ton of ideas as to where to thrift on a tight budget and had so much information and helpful tips to offer. She also took over the vendor communication 3 months out which was a huge lift in the final planning stage! She was very effective in her coordination with all of our vendors and point of contacts so that on the day of the wedding we were really just enjoying the day both carefree and stress-free. Kristy offers a ton of helpful documents to review after your first session with her and she creates a custom timeline for you with the day scheduled to the minute. She was so organized and really kept us on track! Kristy also did an amazing job with the breakdown of the event especially since we brought in a lot of the decor in ourselves. She was flexible in making sure that all of our items got into one of our family member’s cars so it could be picked up whenever we had time the next day. This was a huge help so that guests at the wedding weren’t carrying flowers, vases, and signs home for us and instead headed directly to the after party. She even texted my parents the morning after with the details of where all of our items were stored and shared some great photos (and a reel with us) from the day! :) Kristy was also an advocate for us as clients, which went a really long way. We were having issues communicating well with one of our vendors, but Kristy stepped in and found a way to get a hold of the vendor and ensure our ask could be met. Without that push, our day would have looked a lot different than the vision we had hoped for- she really made our day come to life. After going through the wedding process, I truly think everyone needs a day of coordinator so if you have a slight inclination that someone is needed, think no further and contact Kristy! While weddings can get expensive as we all know, the best use of our money on our wedding day was spent on Kristy. Looking back on our day, we can’t thank her enough!!

Glamming up our beautiful MD/DC/VA community, Le Chateau de Crystale Events provides custom blooms and the finest designs for the upper echelon of society. Whether it be idyllic weddings, unique corporate events or any memorable milestone that you are celebrating, our specialized team understands that no two events are the same. We love to work with couples in order to create bespoke botanical creations that flawlessly showcase their one-of-a-kind love stories. We contract our services weekly to the White House and apply the same level of top-shelf quality and care to your special event. Let's create something magical together!

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. ​

Natasha Lamalle Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Glenn Dale, MD

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.

If you’re looking for the perfect photographer-stop right here. I’m not even sure where to begin to tell you how amazing Natasha was! We got married on a very cool and rainy day in November and Natasha was such a comfort to have with us. Never once did we feel awkward posing. She captured truly the most beautiful candid photos. The uncle tearing up the dance floor, couples enjoying an intimate moment slow dancing, your brother secretly wiping away tears...you name it. Looking back at our photos, I feel like I was a part of every single moment of the wedding. And that....is the best thing I could ever ask for.

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. The engagement session was so much fun! The day of the wedding was unbelievable. He’s so calm and professional. 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.

Nicole and Jose of Bokeh Lane Photography are simply wonderful! So energetic and creative! They shot our engagement session and are slated to shoot our wedding whenever COVID allows for that. We wanted a photographer that has a great eye for candid shots and heard about these two from a friend who had their engagement and wedding shot by them. My friend’s pictures were beautiful, so I reached out to Nicole and Jose. They helped us with every step of the process, even with picking out outfits before the shoot. They’re kind and professional and just so easy to work with. I am not used to being in front of the camera, whereas my fiance is a natural in front of the camera. I told them that up front and they made sure to make me feel comfortable while just letting my fiance be himself, and the pictures came out so great! They are highly responsive as far as communication goes and prices are extremely reasonable for such high quality work. Highly highly recommend!

I was born and raised in a quiet seaside town on the South Shore of Long Island. I grew up in a place where good, strong love grows with parents who have been together since they were 16 years old. They taught me that true love grows in the face of hardship and, as strong believers in their faith, that love is, indeed, patient and kind. And so as soon as I realized that wedding photography didn’t have to be posed and mechanical; that I could shoot weddings from a more organic and authentic lens; that I could document a story, not direct one, I was hooked!

It's undeniable that Lauren is an incredibly talented photographer -- her photos probably already caught your eye hence why you're in this reviews section ;) Aside from the incredible, authentic, editorial, and gorgeous photos Lauren delivered from our wedding, she was also a dream to work with. Lauren is a professional; badass, direct, organized, fun, and most importantly, far from "basic" when it comes to wedding photography. I'm so happy I frantically slid into her DMs years ago when she first started photographing weddings in DC. I will always recommend Lauren and years later, my heart still skips a beat when I fondly look through our wedding photos <3 Thank you, Lauren!!

I love how exciting and creative wedding photography can be while also giving me the opportunity to create something that is so meaningful to others. I got started with photography back in Michigan as a kid with my mom's old Minolta SLR. It wasn't until years later at art school in Kansas City that I realized how fulfilling and exciting wedding photography could be. It has been my focus ever since.

Asa is an absolutely amazing photographer to work with. My husband and I booked him for our wedding back in 2017, and we loved our photos so much that I invited him to be a preferred partner at a new event venue I helped open in 2019. He does wonderful work with lighting in particular. As a bride, he made us feel very natural, and we had a lot of fun with our photo session. I highly recommend him for wedding and family photography!

Carla Pressley - Hair Stylist & Makeup Artist

  • Beauty professional
  • Serves Glenn Dale, MD

I’m Carla Pressley and I do hair and makeup! I’m a mixed African American/Korean chick born the year of the DOG in July which makes me a fiercely loyal sentimental Cancer. I also talk to most dogs and have been the proud mother to two Jindo dogs. I laugh EXACTLY like my two brothers, TRY eating vegan most of the time, LOVE yoga, and tear up EVERY time dads see’s the bride for the first time.

When I was looking for a hair and makeup artist, I wanted someone who I felt confident could help me decide the look for my wedding and come up with options for my naturally curly hair. However, I knew the deciding factor would be whether I felt confident that the artist could make every member of my bridal party that was diverse (in terms of race, disability, and LGBTQ) bridal party look and feel beautiful. Carla's portfolio showed me that she really lives her values of inclusion and I booked her with full confidence after our phone consultation the day after my inquiry. She gave me different options for the schedule for either just her or her and a team. I ended up going with the option of her and her team to not start so early and have a more efficient schedule. I was right to place my trust in her and the team she works with! I did a trial a couple weeks before my wedding, which I cannot recommend highly enough. It was definitely one of the most fun experiences of the entire wedding planning process! Carla spent a few hours with me trying different looks based on my inspiration photos and the vibe of my dress. I left so excited and knowing I had options I liked based on how I was feeling and the weather. On my wedding day she and her team were fantastic and executed flawlessly and made everyone comfortable on what was a hectic morning. My mother hadn't worn makeup since her wedding almost 40 years ago. My sister and maid of honor is also autistic with intellectual disabilities and had never worn makeup but wanted to be included (and look like a princess!) Carla and her team (special shoutout to makeup artist Mong!) were so patient and understanding and put them both at ease, which I appreciated so much. My other bridesmaids had a wonderful experience with makeup artist Nas as well. In terms of myself, I can say without question I've never felt more beautiful and glamorous but still myself than I did on my wedding day. Carla came with us to the church and fixed my veil that blew off during my first look and touched up everyone before we walked down the aisle. The look stayed the whole day and my hair held through the dip in our first dance into the after party. Going with Carla for hair and makeup was easily one of the best decisions I made in wedding planning and I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Imagine a wedding that truly reflects your unique love story and personality. At Howerton+Wooten Events, we are dedicated to making that vision a reality. Our experienced team takes the time to understand your essence and energy as a couple, forming meaningful connections that reveal who you are, how you live, and how you love. With this deep understanding, we design stunning wedding experiences that are vivid, personal reflections of your lifestyle, taste, and journey together. The result is a wedding you will cherish for a lifetime, a beautiful celebration that is unmistakably and uniquely yours.

Words cannot define the worth and joy it was to have Kawania and her team be a part of my wedding day. She was a constant advocate for our needs and budget throughout the process, being realistic at every turn. What I know now is that what you get with Kawania is experience and know-how of the industry. She has planned several weddings and events before and knows how to troubleshoot mishaps that may happen on the wedding day in real time. She understands that the day of the event is a special moment for everyone involved and she knows not to bring stress to the wedding party and to allow them to live in the moment. At subsequent weddings, I have felt that my friends needed this approach with their planners on their wedding day/weekend. I, being their guest or in their bridal party felt the disorganization that their planners or self-planning brought. This was not the case with Kawania. We had glowing comments about our wedding day for even a year after and how it was not just a ceremony but a day of entertainment. She is an excellent communicator. We had regular meetings throughout the year, about once a week. I have seen my friends have wedding planners who do not get back to them for several days after they have a question about their wedding. Kawania brought my vendors to me instead of me having to look for vendors on my own and when one did not work she always had another one that could take the place. She set up meetings with me and my vendors one-on-one and reviewed all of our vendor contracts to make sure that we were getting a fair contract and that expectations for the vendor and for us were both reasonable and what we were looking for. Being a very busy working professional I appreciated that Kawania went above and beyond to make sure that I stayed on the schedule and was extremely patient when there were moments when I could not. I value how she brought my vision to life and had such great attention to small details that my day was exceptional. I have seen my guests feature elements of my wedding at their subsequent events and it speaks to how she was able to set the bar high for what a classy and unique event should be. Far beyond a wedding planner, she has become someone that I keep in contact with after the wedding. She even checked in on me when there was a major catastrophic event that took place in the area where I lived months after the wedding. There were even moments when I became uncertain or stressed and focused on the wrong thing when it came to my wedding. Kawania, quite like a mother figure helped me realize what my focus should be and to ignore all other distractions so that when I walked down the aisle, I was in full confidence of how the day was going to be and did not feel a single ounce of stress on my wedding day. I could not be more thrilled to work with Kawania again. Although I do not see myself getting remarried I would certainly work with her for any big event I needed in the future. She has such a positive energy and global about her and brings a light to every interaction even difficult ones that makes her pleasant, respectable, dependable, and all around the absolute reason why my big day went off such success. I cannot state how tirelessly she and her team worked so when I did meet them in person but felt like I was meeting friends who knew exactly what I wanted. You will not regret working with Kawania and Howerton Wooten events!

A Washington DC area (Maryland, Virginia) and destination wedding and lifestyle photographer. My approach to photography is extremely artistic, photojournalistic and arguably cinematic. With every shot I take I’m constantly thinking of new ways to creatively tell your story using unconventional techniques and unique angles, while creating that captivating feeling of presence when viewing your photos. My goal is to preserve your special moments by creating romantic, yet visually striking imagery to be enjoyed for years to come.

As a portrait photographer I had been following Kanayo’s work because it’s artistic, unique and different. I teased that I would get married again just to have him photograph it. Well he said do a vow renewal and sure enough that’s what we did. There was no question or shopping around for us, Kanayo would be our photographer. We made the right decision! His images are just amazing, and eveytime we look at them it’s like we are living in that exact space and time. He captured so much that tells our story, expressing the emotions, the joy and the love on that day. He goes above and beyond to get the shot, yet he is not intrusive. He is kind and very patient yet in control. He is a master photographer! I highly recommend Kanayo for your photographs. We were not disappointed and you won’t be either.

The Red Bandana is a happy, healthy little bakery in Bethesda, MD. We like to make people happy with celebratory dessert food but we don’t want to feel guilty about what we’re feeding them so we try to make it as good for their body as it is for their soul. Owner/operator Jaimie Mertz went to culinary school in 2011 with the plan to become a pastry chef, and a year later doctors put her autistic brother Jack on a gluten-free casein-free diet to try to help with some behavioral issues.

My wife has celiac and finding a baker who could accommodate a gluten allergy wasn't the easiest in our small Western Maryland town. We found Red Bandana at the gluten-free expo at BC Brewing and we're sure glad we did. Jaimie was beyond professional and accommodating to our needs. Not only did we get an absolutely delicious wedding cake for us, but several dozen gluten free cupcakes for our guests. Both us and our guests were blown away by how delicious her baked goods were. She was even able to deliver to us despite us having our wedding over an hour away from her bakery. I can't recommend this place enough. Even if you only have one person attending your wedding with a gluten allergy, you NEED to book Red Bandana. The cupcakes and cake were so good I completely forgot they were gluten free. Worth. Every. Penny!!
