Harvest Moon Photography 

5.0

Portsmouth, VA
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,000

Hello!! I am Camille! I am passionate about preserving every moment from your special day - particularly those intimate moments of togetherness amid the crazy! ❤️ I am an introvert and more on the quiet side, but I can wrangle a crowd if I need to. 😉 If you like goofy comedies, folk and pop music, and loving people how Jesus does, we'll get along just perfectly! I accept everyone and take nothing too seriously! I prefer to capture everyone in sweet and candid looking moments rather than being traditionally posed but I do a bit of both! I would love to get to know you and your future spouse - just send me a message any time!

Awarded Best of Zola
Harvest Moon Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding day. From the very beginning, Camille was fast to respond, accommodating to our needs, and always maintained a positive and excited energy. Her communication style was just what we were looking for - she made the whole process feel seamless and stress-free. The quality of her work is truly flawless, with a beautiful, candid, and dreamy aesthetic that captured all the little moments we wanted to remember. Camille made sure I got everything I wanted and more out of my photos. The photo I cherish most to this day isn’t even of my husband and I. My grandfather recently passed away and the photo I cherish most is of him and my littlest sister, dancing together alone on the dance floor. It is a photo I hold dear to me and will cherish always. Camille is an incredibly talented and accommodating photographer, and we are so grateful to have had her be a part of our special day. We have already decided she is the only photographer we want to work with going forward to capture all of the special moments in our lives.

DeLine Photography

Portsmouth, VA
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style

My excited, caring and spunky with a side of ‘hell yeah’ personality makes people feel comfortable, protected and loved. I meet people, hug them within seconds and it’s not awkward. Also, catch me slingin' jokes and dancing while I work or just on a Tuesday. I started my business three years ago, since then I've captured 102 weddings and over 200 couples, I can't image doing anything else! I’m married to Alex, love of my life, cat-doggy daddy, and muse. We fell in love after I called him a loser the moment we met. Since then we've lived in Hawaii, traveled the world and added two fur babies!

The ladies at this company are simply amazing!! My now husband I are not photogenic people and are typically not comfortable being in front of the camera, but Danielle and Ashley made us feel so comfortable and we had so much fun doing it! We have many branches to our family and the photos ran seamlessly and were quicker than I expected! I am obsessed with the preview photos we have gotten so far and can’t wait to see the full album!

Lauren Ashlie Imagery

Portsmouth, VA
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,000

Photography has always been my way of connecting with the world, but weddings hold a special place in my heart. There's something truly magical about experiencing every emotion of the day alongside the couple - the joy, the happy tears, the excitement, and even the quiet, heartfelt moments in between. Being entrusted to capture those emotions is an honor I don't take lightly. With each click of the shutter, I'm not just taking a photo - I'm preserving a piece of your story, one that you can cherish forever.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Lauren for our wedding, and I truly can’t recommend her enough! From the moment we first met her, it was clear that she wasn’t just passionate about photography—she genuinely cared about capturing the essence of our day in the most beautiful, authentic way possible. Lauren has an extraordinary eye for detail. She doesn’t just take pictures; she captures moments—the spontaneous smiles, the glances exchanged, the raw emotions. From the very beginning, she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera—something neither of us was used to. She took the time to understand our style and personalities, and tailored her approach to fit that perfectly. On the day of the wedding, her calm and positive energy was a grounding presence amid all the excitement. Lauren made the entire process feel seamless and enjoyable, from our engagement shoot to the wedding day and beyond. She’s a true artist, and her work will be cherished by us for years to come. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who is not only professional but will go above and beyond to capture your most important moments, look no further than Lauren. She exceeded every expectation we had, and we are forever grateful! Thank you, Lauren, for giving us memories that will last a lifetime!

Signature DJs is owned and managed by Brandon Frazier. In creating Signature DJs, Brandon recruited a team of professional and experienced DJs and event planners available to meet and exceed all of your needs. During your initial consultation Brandon will match you with the best options based on your preferences and event type. We offer so many different options to personalize your wedding and make the experience unique for you and your guests. We have lighting, special effects, and even licensed pyrotechnicians on our team that can provide professional fireworks displays (both day and night) to show off your style with impact!

Awarded Best of Zola
Now for the details: Brandon, Kellie, Elmer, and Becky were excellent to work with. They were communicative throughout the entire process and even sent monthly checklists to ensure the wedding planning timeline was ironed out and reminded you of the small details that most folks forget about. It’s the little things like these emails that went above and beyond to make sure our evening went as smoothly as possible. Our DJ, Elmer, was very enthusiastic despite challenges at the beginning of the event – the venue coordinator was very combative with him during set-up – and he didn’t let it affect the energy of the evening. (We didn’t find out until after the wedding date from our other vendors setting up and we had to reach out and ask about it because he didn’t want us to worry at all). He provided a high energy level and hits for dancing the whole evening and stuck to our favorite music vibes. Our photo booth operator, Becky, pulled us aside to take photos in the booth and thank goodness she did because we didn’t get the chance to go in before or after she pulled us aside. She put our guestbook together throughout the evening and it was fun to have something that captured our night to look through the next morning. Signature DJs was reasonably priced considering everything we received - music for ceremony & reception, mics, uplighting for dance floor, photo booth with guest book, monogram, and bubble exit complete with 2 bubble machines and bubbles for individual guests. They were flexible with our requests (customized monogram, unconventional timeline, and last-minute song additions) and had already worked at our venue so they were already familiar with the space which was super helpful because the venue coordinator was awful to work with. They put us at ease and gave us confidence that our day would be wonderful when we were the most stressed. Thank you so much, Brandon, Kellie, and team for setting the tone and giving us a memorable night!

We absolutely loved working with Bryauna and Jamar at Moments for Life Visuals. From booking our initial consultation to giving updates on wedding timelines to following up post wedding, they were responsive and easy to get in touch with. Jamar showed up right on time on our wedding day and we felt really comfortable with him around. He managed to capture the entire vibe of the day from the big moments to the little details. We were really on the fence about whether or not the cost of a videographer would be worth it since we already booked a photographer. Moments for Life had packages that fit with our budget and we’re so glad we booked them. Photos are great, but the videos we got are so full of life and are truly magical. If you’re on the fence about hiring a videographer - DO IT! We also really appreciated that Moments for Life gave us the raw footage of our ceremony, reception speeches, dancing, and cake cutting.

As both a bride and a former wedding coordinator, I can’t recommend Kaytlyn enough! From the very beginning, she was a dream to work with — professional, responsive, and so easygoing. We first worked with her for our engagement session, and the results were absolutely stunning — she captured us so naturally and beautifully that we knew instantly she was the perfect choice for our wedding. On a personal note, I also booked a boudoir session with her as a surprise for my husband on our wedding day. She made me feel completely comfortable in a very vulnerable setting, and within minutes I was totally at ease. The results were elegant, empowering, and something I will treasure forever. On the wedding day itself, she blended seamlessly into the flow of events, capturing everything without ever feeling intrusive. Having worked with many photographers in my coordinator role, I can say her professionalism and ability to connect with her clients is truly exceptional. She has that rare combination of talent, warmth, and efficiency that every bride dreams of in a wedding vendor.

Jenna was always quick to respond and anticipated our needs. Jenna had a form to organize all of our thoughts and worked out the details to mean fewer vendor meetings on our end. She worked seamlessly with our vendors who continuously complimented her to my husband and I. Our guests have told us it was the most organized wedding they have ever been to! This team is clearly full of incredibly organized, detail-oriented, and, most importantly, kindhearted people who made it clear they were there for us and excited for us!

The DJ Company of Virginia 

4.6

  • DJ
  • Starts at $995
  • Serves Portsmouth, VA

Our trusted team of Virginia Beach DJs specialize in weddings but will bring the party to any Hampton Roads event. You and your guests will have an awesome time dancing and singing the night away. All while receiving personalized attention from a well-qualified DJ and a package that fits your budget.

Let me start off by saying that I didn't think I "needed" a DJ for my wedding, so I didn't budget for one initially. It was about halfway through wedding planning that my now-husband and I decided we should invest in one, so it would be one less thing for us to have to do on our wedding day. Budget was super important to us when booking a DJ, but we also wanted someone who was experienced and knew what they were doing. The DJ Company of Virginia did not disappoint! Nikki and Devail helped me during the booking and planning process, and helped pick the right DJ to use for our venue. When planning, we were able to suggest a bunch of songs that both of us love and also got to make a list of any songs we didn't want to hear. Our guests were able to suggest songs on their own, and I gave those to the DJ beforehand (it was a question on our RSVP form). If you wanted your guests to suggest songs during the reception, I know they would be able to do that too! Jose was the DJ for our wedding and he was super friendly and easy to talk to! My husband and I did a "fake out" for our first dance, where we made it seem like we would do the standard slow dance, but then actually use a fun, upbeat song. Jose made sure he understood what we wanted and our guests LOVED it! Jose played so many songs that I like and love that I found myself on the dancefloor a bunch. I sure got in a workout! If you need a DJ in the Hampton Roads area, you should book the DJ Co. of VA. I wasn't sure we could afford a DJ for our wedding, but their prices were perfect for our needs!
