Your wedding day is a whirlwind of family and friends, vows and true love, good food and of course lots of cake! With a wedding photographer, all the beautiful moments can be captured and remembered forever. Pop of Molly Photography focuses on candid photography encapsulating the bride and groom and wedding guests enjoying the moment and being their own beautiful selves. Focusing on candid photography doesn't mean I won't take the time to sit down with you and go over the "must have" shots, list of family members and wedding party, and ensure I have photos of all your Pinterest board "dream wedding" photos.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Molly as our photographer for our micro wedding in Shenandoah National Park. She was amazing to work with from beginning to end. From hearing out our ideas, giving us pointers, and researching the area for us to get our best pictures. She is everything you want in a candid wedding photographer and we couldn't be happier with the results. Thank you, Molly!!

Brin's Posy

  • Florist
  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Iron Gate, VA
  • Offer

Brin’s Posy is named after my beloved dog. She passed away unexpectedly a few years ago, leaving myself and her pup sister (Abby) to figure out life without her. We were months of grieving her loss when a close friend insisted I channel the grief energy into something positive. A bell went off in my head as my current job as a florist in a far away town was coming to an end. Brin’s Posy helped me come to terms with the loss. I still have Abby (the shop girl) in the shop daily and occasionally out to our farm venues! We love to source local and work with community members.

I started planning my friend's wedding a month before it—yep, you heard it—a month! And it was not an elopement! Some family visa situations prompted that. Long story short, I found Caitlyn on Zola. She was extremely friendly and prompt. We had a call, and I sent her a few pictures of the type of flowers I wanted, and she nailed it. She did it cost-effectively. I had talked to other florists, but we got lucky, and Cailyn was available for our wedding in Nov! My brother has signed a contract with her for next year for his wedding! :)

Wellington Venue & Lodging was the perfect choice for our wedding! Bre, the coordinator, was absolutely amazing and I don't know that everything would have went so smoothly without her. She was truly a blessing and was there for any text, call, or in-person meeting we needed. The space was perfect for our wedding needs, with the open area outside being ideal for guests who wanted to be outside but still close by. The only challenge was the parking, but Bre handled that flawlessly and made sure everything went off without a hitch. We are so grateful to Bre and the Wellington Venue & Lodging team for contributing to making our special day perfect!

Lauren was also SO responsive during the planning process as well! We asked for recommendations for DJs and advice about catering.

Prime Time Event Group 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,745
  • Serves Iron Gate, VA

More than 10 years ago, I had a friend who came to me and said, “Frank, you have a lot of music, a nice sound system and are not scared to speak in front of people. How about you DJ my wedding?” That pattern continued over the next 5-6 years, with more people asking me to DJ. That was the beginning of Prime Time Event Group. Since then, I’ve gone through extensive training and have DJed over 350 weddings and events. I love knowing that we make sure our clients’ wedding or event is not just a great memory, but an amazing experience that they will cherish forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
If I could give Prime Time Event Group 6 stars, I would (and it still wouldn't be enough). Frank and his team kept our wedding reception on the dance floor all night, through not only a playlist of bangers but also an acute sense of what song to shift into if the previous one seemed a little lackluster with the crowd (which only happened once anyway). Working with him was so easy and he's so personable; he truly made us feel more excited about the wedding every time we talked. We will be recommending him to everybody we know getting married in the area! They're amazing!

Hi! My name is Jo Mahaney. In addition to being a wedding photographer, I have become a professional boutonniere pinner, bonus bridesmaid, master timeline creator, manipulator of light, and emotional confidant. Primarily, I am there as your wedding photographer to ensure that--although your memory will fade with time--these photographs serve as vivid reminders of the joy in the season and the relationships that matter most. Photography by Jo began back in 2014 when I shot my first wedding for my roommates, while still in college. That year, I fell in love with weddings and have focused on those and other major family milestones ever since.

If you are considering having Jo as your photographer for your engagement shoot, wedding shoot, family shot and more.. DO IT! Jo is incredible at what she does! My now husband and I never kissed until our wedding day and she helped us feel comfortable with each other and have fun at the same time. She is so easy to work with, on time, super professional but not stiff. She is so relational and kind. Her quality of work is out of this world! Do it. Do it. DO IT! YOU WONT REGRET IT!

The gathering lawn was a beautiful and unique setting to have our ceremony, and the newly renovated lodge had ample room for our band and guests to party. We really valued staying on site with family and friends for the weekend to maximize time spent together, and we were told by multiple guests that it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to.

I'm a Virginia girl, the oldest of three kids, and happily married to a Virginia guy. I've been crazy about photography since childhood, perfecting my style since elementary school! Decades later, I am thrilled and honored to be capturing priceless moments for my clients as they celebrate their weddings. When I'm not behind the camera, you'll find me reading adventure stories to my kids, canning fruits and veggies from our garden, assembling vibrant bouquets of wildflowers, or planning campouts and travels for our family. I'm a sociable introvert who recharges by spending time outside, reading, and editing photos with a cup of tea!

Melinda was absolutely a pleasure to work! She captured all the beauty to be had from Grace Estate Winery, for our couple in October. Her communication response time was always speedy - which made my job much easier. As I worked on the day-of timeline, she was always willing to help me work to ensure the flow of everything - as our tasks intermingled quite a bit. If you're looking for someone to go with the flow, and ensure all your lasting memories are captured - Melinda would be the perfect match!

I am a wedding and portrait photographer serving Virginia and beyond. I have been taking photos since I was able to hold a camera and am so incredibly passionate about capturing moments and storytelling through the art of photography!

From the moment we reached out to Megan for our engagement photos, we were impressed by her clear, prompt, and fun communication style. Megan has a bubbly, celebratory energy that made the photo session an absolute joy. The final photos were absolutely gorgeous - Megan has a great eye for beautiful shots. While we ultimately went with a different photographer for our wedding day due to budget constraints (he is a friend of a friend who is a professional and offered us a discount we couldn’t not accept), I am confident Megan would have done an incredible job capturing all the special moments of our big day. Her affordable and stunning portfolio make her an excellent value for any couple planning their wedding.

She made everyone feel at ease and happy- so many folks- from our guests, family, and our wedding party- RAVED about her during and after! We had a wonderful engagement shoot so I knew the wedding day would be the same. Honestly, I am so grateful people in my life had the opportunity to meet Becca- I think she really set a bar for folks in their minds of what a wedding photographer should be like! When she walked in on the wedding day I was so excited to see her and I felt the same all day long.
