Where to even start? From the planning of the engagement session to the execution of our wedding day photography, Nam was so fun, helpful, encouraging, and professional. She made all of our dreams come true with every picture and has made memories that we will cherish forever. Nam’s laidback fun personality made both my husband and I feel comfortable to be ourselves in front of the camera even though neither one of us are big fans of having our picture taken. She captured us in a way that showed our love in every picture, and it never felt like unnatural or like a photoshoot. She has a way of making people feel seen, and her pictures show that. If you want to always remember the way you *feel*, I would highly recommend Nam. She captures heart on film, and we feel so lucky to have that memorialized forever!

Mike was so lovely to work with! He is prompt, personable, and helpful in all our communications, and we especially appreciated the ease of the planning process when using his app, to choose songs to play, info he needed to know as MC for our wedding night, and timeline planning. As DJ, he kept everyone on the dance floor all night, and kept the energy of the room up flawlessly. The balance between English and Spanish music was perfectly executed, and it’s clear that he knows and loves his work! As MC, he helped us to keep everything running smoothly, and make sure we were cued on time for our events. He made sure to make certain announcements in Spanish for my husband’s family as requested, which was such a nice touch. Overall, we had an amazing experience with Mike and his team, and couldn’t have asked for a better night!

Dimitri is devoted in creating a unique and unforgettable experience for his clients. His ability to develop a friendly atmosphere helps bring out personality throughout his photographs. Whether it's discreet and candid or posed and traditional, Dimitri will provide nothing but life long memories for your upcoming session or celebration.

There probably isn't enough space or time to write about the experience that we have with Dimitri and his team before, during and after our wedding day. From the very first interaction over the phone we instantly clicked and knew that he would be the best fit to capture our special day. On the day of your wedding the last thing you want to worry about is whether your photos look awkward or staged especially with all the nerves and excitement running through your system. But that is the exact opposite of how we felt with Dimitri and his team, they made us feel extremely comfortable and confident in front of the camera, they even go the extra mile to ensure that they are achieving genuine laughs and smiles from everyone around them. Once we started working on our album, Dimitri made sure to work with us as team to ensure that our vision came to life. After patiently responding to our many questions and phone calls our album came to life and surpassed our expectations! WE are absolutely obsessed with the beauty and love that radiates through our album every time we open it to relive such a special day (which is very often). We wouldn't recommend anyone else to capture your day. Trust me when I say Dstath Photography was the best investment we made for our wedding day.

I have been working with Denae over the last couple of months with planning my engagement party and creating my save the dates and invitations for my wedding. She is very creative and very organized. As soon as I booked her we started working right away as far as my vision and she had ideas and prices for me within the next day. She has made this whole process so easy for me and I've been able to sit back and relax because I trust her with the entire process. She even made my bouquets for me and those were beyond my expectations. I think my favorite thing about her is her organization and her passion for what she does.

Jenni and her team did a phenomenal job capturing our wedding day. We felt so comfortable from the moment we first met with her and that definitely translated to how easy it felt taking direction from her for our wedding day photos. Her team took time to get to know us and figure out what we were comfortable with so it felt natural (we're not the most comfortable in front of the camera but somehow she figured out how to get those sweet in the moment shots without it feeling forced!). The photos turned out stunning. From the formal portraits to our mountain top vows to the sweetest candids she captured of me and my dad and my adorable nieces and nephews there’s seriously so many amazing photos to choose from. I also appreciated how organized she was with our formal portrait list keeping it quick and everyone ready to move through those as soon as possible. Cannot recommend her enough. Thank you so much Jenni! We absolutely could not dream of better photos!

Speed date: I love to go thrifting. Schitt’s Creek and HIMYM are two TV shows always on repeat. I really hate cooking. I love brunch and drink way too much coffee. I’m a mom and I’m obsessed with my kid. Words of affirmation & physical touch are my love languages. I have the WORST sense of direction. I try to always do my part to protect our environment. Aries is my zodiac sign. I’m Irish + Greek. I drink coffee like it keeps me alive. Taking a walk is the best way to spend a warm day. Like a true millennial, I have way too many houseplants. Greece, Ireland and Italy are at the top of my travel bucket-list.

When I say I searched high and low for a photographer with vintage style editing like Tara, I mean it. I spent months and months looking. She was always on my radar but was unfortunately booked for our date. After lots of contemplation and talking it over with Tara, we decided to go the route of having a “sub” photographer shoot the day and then Tara would do the editing herself. WOW did that work out for the best. The photographers that came for day of were two INCREDIBLE ladies, one I was highly considering when I found out Tara was booked, the other is now my business brand photographer. I brag all the time about how I was lucky enough to get the “dream team package”. It was like 3 for the price of one. As much as I would have loved to have Tara there on that day, I’m truly thankful for how she made it work in the best way possible. 10/10 recommend Tara!

To capture your big day in a way that fills you with all the feels, every time you look at those photos. I'm all about having a blast and creating memories that will make you smile from ear to ear.

Chris with Shipwrecked Creative helped capture our wedding day perfectly! The planning before the wedding was quite rushed as we booked just few months before the big day, but he helped coordinate our meetings and plan everything out, so we were on the same page. He was very responsive and detailed with everything. The questionnaire he sent us made it super easy to give him all the right information, so he didn’t need to ask 100 questions on the phone or via email. We had a very rainy day with few moments that the sun was shining. Chris helped us capture every moment perfectly. He guided our poses so it wasn’t awkward or unnatural, kept us laughing along the way, and helped us coordinate our timeline to fit in all our family photos, sunset photos (that miraculously worked out with the weather!) and portrait shots that we wanted of our big day. Between the chaos of the wedding in general and the crappy weather, Chris helped us really make our day special, even trekking out in the mud and rain to get some amazing sunset shots! I highly recommend Chris and his team at Shipwrecked Creative. Couldn’t ask for a better team!

Priscilla is amazing! When searching for a makeup artist for my November wedding a few years ago, I found her and am forever grateful I did! She was professional, kind, and just a joy to be around! She did a beautiful job on my bridal trial make up and an ever better job (not even sure how that’s possible!) on the day of my wedding. She is easy to talk to and made me feel extremely comfortable. I feel like I’m extremely picky when it comes to my make up and she truly blew me away. I would have her do my eye make up every day if I could! My face make up looked flawless and just natural. I never felt like I had too much make up on, as I know sometimes when you have your make up professionally done, that can be the case. My eyes were absolutely beautiful and I felt like a beauty queen. My bridal party also had their makeup done and everyone was very happy with the result. She works timely and efficiently. My make up stayed perfect throughout the entire day, which was impressive as I had it done early around 8:30-9am. I have had Priscilla do my make up again for maternity photos and once again, felt beautiful! She does a wonderful job and I am grateful for the friendship I gained by using her as my make up artist. I recommend her to all my friends who ask for recommendations for their wedding day or events!

People are still talking about his performance, and our only regret is that we didn't get to hear him for longer. It was truly magical.

First off just like that, the day got a whole lot better now that you are here! But let’s get one thing straight: if you are here, I want you to feel free to be YOU! Being true to who you are makes this process a hell of a lot easier! This is a judgment-free free safe space, and I want you to be as comfortable as humanly possible! Now that’s out the way, I'm Jovan Kiah, specializing in wedding and portrait photography located somewhere in the cornfields of Indiana. But always prepared for a photography adventure, I’m already packed with a suitcase of snacks, my passport, & playlist that spans from Disney musicals to '90s R&B hits.

Jovan was absolutely amazing to work with. On our calls before the big day, she was always so happy and excited and answered all of our questions and it gave us such a sense of ease. I never once had to worry or stress about photos. Day of the wedding she completely killed it. She was still her happy self but was able to organize us and snap some amazing photos. She did a fantastic job of even catching the perfect small moments, some of which I didn’t even know she was capturing. The photos are all so naturally beautiful and I can’t even begin to describe how much we love them. They are clean and bright and show us, our personalities, and our people perfectly. 100% the best decision we made.

Based in the nation’s capital, DJ D-Mac & Associates changed the wedding DJ game nearly 20 years ago. We continue to innovate, fusing genres, filling dance floors, and bringing smiles to faces. Let's create an unforgettable experience together!

Two words best describe DJ D-Mac: Party Catalyst. I knew he was the perfect DJ for our wedding mere moments into our initial phone consultation. His knowledge and passion for many genres of music was evident from the get go, he was both personable and professional, and he had a genuine enthusiasm for our event. As someone who had a strong vision of the vibe I wanted for our wedding reception, planning the playlist with DJ D-Mac felt like the true collaborative process of my dreams. He took my must play/do not play lists and ran with them, making additional suggestions and unique mixes. He went above and beyond the call of duty in helping troubleshoot sound-related issues with the venue, making lighting suggestions, and even helping us find an excellent karaoke vendor for our after party. His personal style and the style of his DJ setup were sleek, cool, and a little retro, which only added to the wedding aesthetic. Most importantly, DJ D-Mac had an uncanny ability to read the dance floor and know which songs would keep people moving, seamlessly weaving together an eclectic dream mix of everything from '60s soul, disco, '90s R&B, and even Dolly Parton. I truly can't remember another time when I've danced so hard or so joyfully-- I had to briefly go outside to catch my breath after one particularly resplendent mix. A DJ can really make or break a wedding reception, and DJ D-Mac dazzled all of our friends and family-- many of them still mention how much fun they had dancing at our wedding more than a year later. I wish I could throw a hundred more events so I could hire DJ D-Mac to DJ-- or at least wish he could be at the helm of the turntables at every event I attend in the future.

MU8 Bridal was the perfect choice. I used Patrice and her team based on the fact that I had a small bridal party - just my maid of honor and his best man. My maid of honor is a beautiful black woman and I heard stories of POC having a terrible time with makeup artists. MU8 promotes that they do all skin types and their online presence demonstrated this. When I did the pre-booking call, Patrice completely put my mind at ease for my best friend. A month before our trial - I had to have major surgery which required me to be quarantined for 2-3 months after. Patrice was very supportive and worked with me to get our trial rebooked even though it would have been a month and a half before the wedding. She even celebrated with me (much needed transplant). The day of the trial - it felt like a small party; she and her team (Bridget and Madison) were so much fun and asked such detailed questions. They nailed it the first time for both of us and we looked exactly as we had described. The day of the wedding was no different. They also did my mother's hair and mother-in-law's makeup. They were so organized and lively, so much so that we were ahead of schedule. It did rain and it was humid but the hair and makeup on everyone stayed perfectly. Due to some medical reasons, I had a massive bruise on my left arm. Madison was able to cover it completely and it stayed for the entire night!! I had so much fun with MU8 and WILL be using them in the future for any other makeup/hair needs. I have nothing but amazing things to say!

If you’ve had a good time at a wedding or event in the DC/Maryland/VA area, chances are it was DJ Casanova that got you moving. You know him as DJ Casanova, but around the office, we just call him Jamie. Back in the day, he was just a child of immigrants recording his favorite songs over his parent’s cassette tapes (sorry Mom and Dad) so he could listen to them on his prized Walkman. Jamie entered the DJ field in 2009, and before long he was spinning something at a different party every week. Pretty soon he realized that sharing his love of music with like-minded folks was more than just a hobby, it was a gift.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had an amazing experience working with Jamie (DJ Casanova) for our wedding in October 2022 (been meaning to write a review for so long)! Jamie was very professional throughout the whole planning process. We actually hired him in 2020 but we had to postpone our wedding twice because of covid (he was very flexible and made the postponement process very smooth). We met virtually/over the phone a few times and he assured us he was available to meet as many times as we'd like. Closer to our wedding date, we had a more formal meeting where we went through the timeline of the whole reception detail by detail. He had a form where we put in all the information, which showed he was experienced at the job. I was very particular about the type of music I wanted to be played at our reception and he was super easy-going about it and assured us that he was there to implement our vision. On our actual wedding day, everything went as planned and honestly even better than I could have ever imagined! I love to dance and so do many of our guests, and thanks to Jamie, the dance floor was never empty even for one second! He knew how to read the room and change the music accordingly. Even after our wedding, everyone couldn’t stop talking about how fun the party was! In sum, I highly recommend Jamie and already have recommended him to some friends looking to get married soon! Thank you again for everything, Jamie!
