I haven't even had my wedding yet and I am already so so pleased working with Barbara and Luis. We did a spring engagement shoot and wanted even more photos so opted for a second session in the fall, and I felt like the price for an additional hour was super fair and we got a ton of amazing photos (and with our 80lb dog which is not an easy ask)! They really made sure to get to know us and understand what kind of style we are looking for and I feel so confident with them being the photographers on our wedding day!

Beautiful moments full of light and color! Whether you’re getting ready before your big day, having an intimate first look, or dancing the night away with family and friends, every moment of your wedding day is as beautiful as the next. I want to capture these special moments in their truest, most authentic, and most honest form. I’m based in Roanoke, Virginia, however, I love to travel and explore new places!

Jared is a top-notch photographer with a keen eye for capturing joy. I came across Jared's photos and was immediately enamored by how bright and cheerful his style was, and after two engagement sessions and a wedding gallery, I can 100% attest to the high quality return on investment customers will receive from him. Our engagement and wedding photos really captured the essence of the spaces we were in, as well as the happiness and excitement for being engaged and getting married. Jared is easy-going and keeps his word on time scales. I recommend Jared to any couple considering beautiful, captivating photos they want to keep for their lifetime.

I dropped out of college to pursue photography back in 2014 and haven't looked back since. I'm an introvert at heart, but I come alive when I'm photographing what I love. I enjoy sipping coffee, exploring new places, board games, and creative projects.

Awarded Best of Zola
Booking Rachel Stenger was one of the best vendor decisions that my husband and I made for our wedding day. Even from the first meeting we had with Rachel, she has such a calming and warm presence which we knew was what we would need the day of. She has such a unique way of photographing and capturing moments that make her so special and unlike a lot of other wedding photographers we met with. We did an engagement session with her and she made us feel so at ease, like most couples we're not naturally in front of the camera but she was able to easily talk us through poses throughout the session. We had a call the month of to discuss details with her - e.i, timeline, shot list, etc. This was a great call because it helped all of us get on the same page for day of. Forwarding to the wedding day - Rachel arrived early to start on capturing details. She helped us stay on-time during getting ready and first look since my DoC was at the venue setting up. She was able to capture SO many images throughout the day from getting ready all the way to the dance floor. Aside from the staged/traditional photos you'd expect from the wedding, she captured so many beautiful candid moments. She moved in SILENCE, I truly didn't see her for most of the day (in a good way!) yet we ended up with 750 images in the 7 hrs we hired her for. She captured everything and more. When we finally got the full album - my husband and I spent had an amazing 2 hours reliving every single moment! She blew us away and we were not prepared by how beautifully she captured the day - all of the details, the emotions, and the aesthetics, were EVERYTHING! Her talent is remarkable and we couldn't have asked for anything more. I'd recommend her to anyone - in fact, I already have a friend that's hired her for their day.

  • Starts at $1,895
  • Serves Monterey, VA

For over seventeen years my business has focused on weddings. It is my goal to create the atmosphere you have envisioned and help make your ceremony and reception flow smoothly. My style is low key and can be summed up in a few words as, "Elegant Fun". The day should be approached with elegance and poise, but at the same time remembering it is also a celebration. After all, that’s why you have invited your friends and family to your wedding. I love what I do. I love music, and I love weddings. I take great pride in what I do but my goal is not only to play music; it is to ensure that every wedding I do is better than the one before.

Awarded Best of Zola
TD was amazing, professional yet laid back. He was recommended to us by our caterer, and after speaking with him on the phone, he was hired! He walked us though everything, and had a detailed form to fill out and get back to him about what kind of music we wanted or didn't want, when we wanted it played, and timeline for the event. We spoke on the phone about a week before the wedding to go over the paper, and he was so knowledgeable and easy to talk to. The day of the wedding, our timeline got moved around due to the health of a family member, and TD barely blinked an eye. He moved songs around for us easily, took examples of songs we had given him and expanded on them, and had everyone out on the dance floor after dinner. I would highly recommend TD and Sound Enforcement to anyone looking for a competent, professional and fun DJ.

NO RULES. JUST FUN. Wedding days are awesome. There’s you, the rad couple who has decided to take the big leap. And there’s the cake, the vows, the friends and family, the toasts and all the love. (Did I mention cake?) Even though weddings can be awesome, they can also be a bit overwhelming at times. With Awesomesauce Photography, you don’t have to do anything you don’t feel like doing. I want you to actually enjoy partying with your friends and eat the awesome meal you have meticulously chosen, not spend it taking portraits for hours. With me, there are no rules. Just fun.

From the moment we reached out, Linda was a dream to work with. She was honest, upfront, and clear about pricing and packages, and worked with us to create the right timeline for our wedding day. She was also incredibly warm and kind throughout. We initially chose Linda because we loved her portfolio of more candid, natural, and photojournalistic/documentary-style images. She brought that same vision to our wedding day, and captured incredible moments for us. During the day, she helped make sure everyone was where they needed to be. She felt like a part of our wedding party. She carried around heavy equipment on a very hot Virginia day in September, and it was very appreciated. She got every shot we had asked for in advance and suggested a few on the fly that became some of our favorites. She got us the photos back in a very timely manner, and it was easy to download and share them with friends and family. We would highly suggest working with Linda for any event and would love to work with her again if we have the opportunity. Working with Linda was a highlight of our wedding process.

Barnswallow Blooms

  • Florist
  • Serves Monterey, VA

I have a love for all things wild and natural, scented blossoms, mossy twigs, and starry nights. Flowers simply make my heart sing. I believe the magic of growing and gathering was planted in me years ago as a young girl, working alongside my mother picking wildflowers and lily of the valley. How I create is deeply rooted in who I am; a floral designer, grower, and potter. I feel my art background has been a really strong foundation for floral design as textures, color, and design are all intertwined with both arts.

At the heart of my process, I believe in being a calming presence who gives you room to be the most genuine version of yourself in front of my camera, gently guiding you with prompts while capturing sophisticated portraits and true moments. As a bride, you know how fleeting the moments of your wedding day will pass you by. So rather than worrying if you’re missing any of it you value being present, and will hire a photographer who will allow you to do just that. This trust grants you the ability to live in the moment while we’re documenting them for you telling the story of your relationships with a gentle authenticity.

Amanda is a perfect choice to capture all of your best moments, no matter the occasion! Every vendor and the bride and groom appreciated her generous demeanor and skill set. She is a very nice person, too, that continues to care long after the contract ends!

Remember what it felt like being there. Memory is meaning. How you choose to preserve your memories now will affect how you remember them in the future. I specialize in making films you can feel - films your children will be able to feel. Remember the moment you knew you would fight for your relationship. It was love. It was raw. It was yours. Your wedding will likely be a production, a gathering of friends and family from all over, but at the heart of your wedding is a love story. It’s one of the greatest honors to be trusted to capture and create something meaningful - something yours.

You only have to view a few of their films to realize the difference hiring a filmaker versus a videographer makes. Yes, they can flawlessly record the ceremony, panning from different angles, but they really shine in curating a highlight film that captures the entire day. You only plan on doing this once. Capture the event in a way that will allow you to relive it every time you watch.

Hello hello! My name is Marie and I am the owner and photographer for Wild Elegance. We are a brand for adventurers, for lovers of life, and genuine people who love those little moments between the moments in life and seek out truth over perfection. Your marriage is unique because of the relationships you have with the people you choose to celebrate with. Spending my day with you and your closest family and friends brings me such joy, and creating art out of some of the best moments of your life is something I am truly honored to be a part of for so many.

Knowing how much of a financial investment a wedding photographer was going to be, I did not take my decision lightly. I reached out to several companies and had several questions when determining who would be the right fit. And I have to say, Marie was by far the most understanding and compassionate during that process. While many photographers seemed annoyed by the (many) questions I would ask before booking, Marie was patient and very thoughtful with her responses -- she even took time to arrange a phone call with me while traveling! And during that phone call, she made sure I didn't feel rushed and that she answered all questions I had fully, it truly felt like I was talking to a friend. That was when I made the decision to book with Marie. Beyond that, when booking the session for our Engagement photos, she brought several creative and adventurous ideas to the table and had the PERFECT locations to take us to. We had a blast together. I would recommend Marie to anyone looking for a photographer who is friendly, compassionate, accommodating and just a joy to be around.

We love photography because we get to see people smile, laugh and be joyful.

Aaron Jay Photography gets great satisfaction in knowing those moments we captured through a lens will be cherished forever.

We got married in the middle of a pandemic, via Zoom. Though none of our family or friends could be here, Aaron was able to come over and photograph us from a safe distance in our backyard. The pictures are absolutely amazing- better than anything I could have expected, even for a “normal” wedding. We love Aaron.

She not only allowed us to be our fullest selves but also encouraged capturing us in ways that felt authentic and not stuck in expected wedding photos or gender roles. She captured our guests so beautifully too, particularly the kids who were in our wedding. Everyone's personalities shone through so wonderfully and the picture are absolutely stunning. We cannot believe how many and how incredible each and every photo is. We cannot recommend Shawnee enough!

Kirill from 4realWeddings was AWESOME to work with! He was there all day long to capture all of our special moments and even joined in on some fun on the dance floor! He was professional, kind and so much fun! He truly went above and beyond for us and made sure we had the best experience possible and an amazing wedding video to prove it! He gave us a video “teaser” not long after our wedding and the actual video was given to us in a timely manner as well. I will recommend Kirill to all of my family and friends who are getting married! 10/10

Kierstin was my sister's wedding planner. My sister Alyssa had a same intimate wedding on a plantation in Hawaii. Kierstin made sure the wedding went great and She got reinvolved in with the other wedding guest and made sure everyone had fun time. I was my sister's maid of honor and I strongly felt relieved that my sister and I did not have to worry about anything. I would highly recommend her for your next event.

Virginia Wedding Company made us feel so special, AND returned some sneak peek shots within 4 days! I don't know about you, but I felt that was incredible timing (not to mention, they surprised us with some photos AT THE WEDDING!)!! Our engagement session and wedding might be over, but I wouldn't put it past us to use Virginia Wedding Company for future events, even though they aren't local to us. These two were the perfect photographers for us, and I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking!

Sydney is a California native who married a Virginian. Her love affair with photography started as a kid in the camera shop she would frequent with her mom to get film developed. Years later, after her oldest son was born, she turned her passion into a career. She understands how important it is to capture everything! Sydney loves to celebrate both the big and the little moments - and wants to help you remember them all.

Awarded Best of Zola
We loved working with Sydney! We got married in May of 2020, and she was so kind and flexible as our plans kept changing due to state guidelines. Her pictures remind me of every surprise, every wonderful thing I want to remember about the best day of my life, and I love getting to relive that day through her photos! She really managed to capture every emotion that we experienced that day in such a beautiful and timeless way, and I'm so excited to work with her again for future family photos.

We are Hannah and Anthony Green, a husband and wife photography team specializing in weddings throughout Virginia. While we love a wedding with a great mountain view or a historic home, we know that it is the people that make this day truly special. Our favorite part of the wedding day is capturing authentic moments as your most special people celebrate the start of your new family. Some of our favorite images from our own wedding were fun, candid moments with our family and best friends. We take that experience, and our 7 years of photographing weddings together, to bring a unique approach to wedding photography that is couple-focused.

We absolutely loved working with Hannah (and Anthony, her partner, as second shooter)! Hannah was so on top of all things planning-wise and even helped me to figure out non-photography-related wedding things. She's so friendly and personable, it's amazing how she can really dial in on what you want and need. On the day of our wedding, Hannah was such a calming presence, working with our day-of planner to make sure things went off without a hitch and all the photos we wanted captured were shot. Seriously, cannot recommend Hannah enough!

I want to cover your day in a way that highlights the joy and sincerity that surrounds you and the people you love. Some emotions are unbridled, but most are nuanced and fleeting. When you look back at your set of images, I want you to be transported back to that day and to have those feelings rekindled. My role is to be an observer and a listener. The less time I spend interrupting, the more time I can spend watching, waiting, and capturing the moments that should be remembered. If I’m there to record it, it’ll be without printed pages from other photographers you’d like to see imitated. I'll be there as me – and I’ll be capturing you.

Awarded Best of Zola
Katie is so fantastic! She is communicative, easy to work with, and takes the most FABULOUS photos! My sister has special needs and getting good photos of and with her for my wedding was one of the most important things to me- and we have the most amazing photos! She captured every moment and emotion and I could not recommend her more!!

  • Florist
  • Serves Monterey, VA

As I prepare for my own wedding in April of next year, I was taken aback by the exorbitant costs associated with floral arrangements. Quotes ranging from $6,000 to $7,000, with a minimum commitment of $4,000, were simply unfeasible for me. This led me to explore alternative solutions, and I discovered a passion for creating my own florals. I was delighted to find that I had a knack for it! This experience sparked the idea to launch my faux floral rental business, driven by the belief that beautiful wedding florals shouldn't come with an astronomical price tag. My goal is to make stunning arrangements accessible to all.

While I didn’t use her for a wedding — I most certainly will once I get married! Morgan’s floral arrangements are so well done that I asked to purchase some to decorate my home. Her customer service and attention to detail is out of this world. 10/10 recommend.
