Hi, I am Elaine. I am a photographer based in Washington, DC and the surrounding VA and MD areas. When I know that my clients are happy about the pictures I've taken and edited, I know that my art is finally seen and my dream is finally coming true.

We absolutely LOVE our wedding photos!!! Not only was Elaine a dream to work with, but she is a true talent! Our engagement shoot earlier this year was a blast! We had so much fun and the photos reflect just that. With our wedding, she and Judy, the second photographer, captured this special day so perfectly - our wedding was at Brookside Gardens and the photos are nothing less than magical… we cannot stop looking at them! They took such amazing and creative shots, and most importantly you can see the love and happiness in every single photo. Thank you!!!

They are the sweetest folks to work with. We had always wanted a video package but could not find an affordable option. Billy and Miss Cheryl did BOTH! We got photos and videos for two days and they even live streamed our wedding to our family overseas. Billy's photos are insane gorgeous and Cheryl's video captured everything we had dreamed of. I highly recommend them to everyoone wanting a amazing wedding.

Jon was highly recommended by our wedding planner (Lissa Marie Weddings and Events), and we immediately hired him after our initial meeting. It really says something when other vendors only have great things to say! He did such a wonderful job on our wedding day and really kepted everything flowing smoothly with no hiccups. Our ceremony sounds was absolutely perfect and the microphones were sooo easy to use and captured all the sound perfectly. Jon was great at making announcements, (even though it wasn't planned) like when he had to tell people to go to cocktail hour. We also had a photobooth package with him and the attendant did such a great job running the booth. It was definitely the most popular event and our families still raves about the pictures they took! From the moment we met Jon, he was just so easy to talk to and knew exactly what we wanted for the day when we shared our vision. Jon is so professional, supportive, and positive, and I can't imagine having someone else on our special day. He is definitely worth the money and I would hire him again without a doubt for any event!

When I’m not photographing weddings, I am a rock climber, scuba diver, glass blower (#breablowsglass on instagram), ukulele, guitar, and guitarlele player, world traveler, and cat mom to Sherlock (sherlocknessmonster on instagram).

We hired Brea after seeing her in action at a friend's wedding, who came away with some incredible photos and highly recommended her to us. We are so glad that we "stole" her for our wedding! Can not speak highly enough of Brea. She is an amazing photographer with a great eye and produced beautiful shots that we will cherish forever. We used her for both our engagement and wedding photos and we are absolutely in love with the wedding album she created for us. She has a great attention to detail without feeling pushy or invasive in the process which is something I really liked.

  • Florist

I am the founder of a micro flower farm turned floral design studio. My journey began with a simple dream of cultivating beautiful blooms, but as the petals bloomed, so did my love for the art of floral design. I discovered a profound joy in curating unforgettable experiences through floral aesthetics. Through my journey, I have come to recognize that every petal tells a story, every stem holds a memory, and every bouquet is an expression of love and celebration. Let me be your guide through the enchanting world of flowers, where each arrangement becomes a reflection of your journey and a testament to the love you share.

Katy did an absolutely incredible job with our wedding florals. We provided her a few inspiration pictures of the look that we were going for and she took it from there and designed the arrangements to perfection. Katy was very flexible and easy to work with, even when we made some super last minute changes (to include the boutonnieres, which we had completely forgotten about until days before the wedding). On the wedding day, Katy stuck around hours after setting up the arrangements to make sure everything was perfect when our vendors flipped the room from the ceremony to reception. This speaks volumes to Katy's dedication to her clients. Thank you Katy!

Natasha Lamalle Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Preston, 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
My wife and I were searching for a photographer who could capture our wedding as it really was, from the intimate moments to the wild dance floor, and Natasha's documentary-style fit our needs exactly! She listened carefully to what we wanted - minimal posed pictures, non-traditional "first look", lots of candids, etc - and she more than delivered. We had 130 guest count and Natasha covered basically every inch of our wedding day, no need or want for a second shooter. She was everywhere and so stealthy that we didn't realize she was so close to us the whole night until we got our pictures back. Our ceremony was outside and dinner/dancing were inside, and regardless of the lighting, the pictures turned out perfectly, she was even able to capture non-blurry pictures of guests jamming on a packed dance floor! She was a pleasure to work with, the instructions of her process were easy to follow from start to finish, and had a lot of examples to look through which gave us a good idea of what we were getting. We especially appreciated that she sent us a few pictures the morning after our wedding as a sneak peek, very nice touch. She's genuinely kind and calm which helped us remain present during our wedding day. Everyone who has seen our photos are amazed by the quality and we are too. We're thrilled we picked Natasha and highly recommend her!

Christina and her team were a dream to work with! We didn’t have a specific vision in mind and she helped us create the perfect, most elegant atmosphere for our venue. One of our biggest concerns was bringing in decor that would clash with our historic venue that had some bold design choices of its own. We asked for a neutral color palate and Christina delivered. The flowers were beautiful and the lush roses and greenery brought dimensionality to the arrangements that I didn’t know I wanted. All of our guests complimented the arrangements. We would highly recommend Christina and her team to our friends and family.

We serve couples in the U.S., and Spain and are available worldwide. We are your planner for destination weddings, we will not only make it a fun and enjoyable experience but also easy and stress-free. We are so much more than your wedding planner and/or designer, we are your friends, your coaches, and your cheerleaders, we are moment-makers. We approach wedding planning and design with strategy, intention, and fun, creating experiences for our clients that sets us apart from the rest.

My husband and I truly thought that we could handle the wedding planning ourselves, but as we got to the final stretch, we realized we needed some help. You will see this for all of the reviews for Musa, and I am here to shout it from the rooftops - our wedding could not have happened without the help of Andi, Jen and the whole Musa team. We hired them for the final three months of the wedding and it was the best decision we made in that stage of the process. In addition to handling all vendor communication, timeline design and execution and day-of coordination, Andi made herself available for any/all questions, calls, and sounding board needs and moments with me, my husband and my mom. She brought to the process immense patience, thoughtfulness, kindness, and professionalism. Day-of, her work and the work of her co-team member, Jen, allowed all of us to really just take in the day and stay as present and grounded as possible. At one point, me and my bridal party went to get into our car to go the venue, and the car didn't start. Like a superhero, Jen pulled up into the driveway at that exact moment, and she brought us all up to the venue. Above and beyond the call of duty. This duo was a gift to my day, and I will forever be grateful for their talent and their support.

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.

Growing up in rural Virginia my intro to photography came to me at 14 while breaking into abandoned houses with friends to take photos that can only be describe in retrospection as “experimental”. Fast forward a handful of years and I found myself going 'legit' and holding a BFA in photography, later finding yet more perspective and cutting my teeth shooting society events in NYC. Having now spent more years of my life taking photos than not, it’s safe to say that I’m all in.

Cassidy has an amazing report when working with clients and the staff on weddings. We have absolutely had the best experiences from the booking process, through to the ease of the day of the wedding. Always being great at transitioning the clients, bringing smiles to their faces and then producing beautiful imagery.

I like to think of myself as a lil bit southern, lil bit punk, and a whole lotta rock-n-roll. I’m a PBR lover, hardcore show corner dweller, disco ball queen. You’re going to hear me say, “hell yeah, brother” more than twice, Dale Earnhardt is an icon, and Dolly Parton is royalty. You'll love me if you're a little trashy, always classy, badass, sometimes chic, forever romantic. Unwedding, editorial, nontraditional, offbeat, colorful, joyful, film-inspired, and disco vibes always. If you like, I'll wear a rainbow suit, I'll definitely dance with your mom, and I will always be a champion for you and your lover.

Kathleen is not only an incredible artist but an incredible person. She is incredibly thoughtful and has an amazing eye for documenting her couples in a unique and creative perspective. Kathleen is a delight to work with and her couples absolutely love her. Not only for the art she creates, but her couples know they will have the best time working with her.

Avery and her team were incredible to work with - her quote from the beginning was thorough, helped us budget and also included photos of the 'style' we were going for which was so helpful to confirm we were on the same page. Then she made it easy to tweak as we went along (adding flowers in different places and taking away in others). We had a very tight turn at our venue after another event and she was able to navigate that so well working with the other teams setting up the tables while the previous group was packing out. Her aesthetic is lovely, she is wonderful to work with and she helped create a lovely ceremony and reception for us. I couldn't recommend her more!

Marquita is a true gem! She is kind, punctual and a master of her craft. I distinctly remember her communication with me on wedding day was impecible, there was never a time that I did not know what to expect or the timeline that it would take her to complete the brides makeup. If you are looking for a natural glam look that is not overpowering and photographs beautifully LOOK NO FUTHER! I highly recommend her servies!

Hi there! I am Lauren, the founder and lead photographer of Taylor'd Southern Events! I started my wedding business in 2012 and went full time as a wedding photographer in 2016 and i've never looked back! Getting to celebrate couples on their wedding day is one of the most rewarding jobs! My main focus is weddings and boudoir. I have traveled all over for weddings! A little about me. I am originally from Florida and relocated to Los Angeles for 4 years due to my husbands job. And now have relocated again to Maryland. I am adventurous, outgoing, love a good netflix binge, and my love language is cooking for others

Lauren was incredible to work with. She has great communication leading up to the wedding and made the day seamless. She knew there would be delays in our planned schedule and helped us navigate them with ease. The engagement and wedding photos she did for us are amazing and beyond what we could have asked for. I highly recommend her!

First State Entertainment bolsters a lineup of eight DJs as well as other experienced entertainment professionals who are committed to going the extra mile to make your big day an experience you'll always remember. With professional sound equipment, dance floor lighting, uplighting, photo booths and more we have everything you need to make your wedding above and beyond your expectations.

I can’t express how relieving it is when we see Andrew’s name show up on our couples vendor list. The way he communicates with couples, prints out a timeline for each vendor on the day, brings an MC to help with cues at ceremony, but also gets the crowd pumped for reception, he is one heck of a DJ. We recommend him to every single couple that tours our venue. If you are in the market for a DJ, Andrew from First State Entertainment is the only choice.

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!!

Carolina Hatton combines her creative gifting with innovative resourcefulness, allowing her to capture a creative vision and turn it into a reality. With over 25 years of design and decorating experience and nearly 15 years of wedding experience, Carolina never fails to exceed her client's expectations. Her warm friendliness and great communication skills make her a pleasure to work with. Carolina and her network of vendors work together to bring innovative event ideas to life.

The absolute best decision I made throughout my entire wedding planning process was hiring Carolina Hatton to help coordinate for our wedding day. I cannot imagine a more organized, thoughtful, and professional planner than Carolina! Carolina and her team went above and beyond from the moment we first spoke through even after our wedding day was over. Not only did she think of every small detail to help our day go smoothly, but her vendor recommendations and connections actually helped us save some money. Carolina worked with all of our vendors to create a foolproof timeline that allowed us to be able to relax, focus on each other, and enjoy our day with friends and family. Wedding planning can be overwhelming sometimes, but Carolina helped us make sure we were asking all the right questions at the right time. I learned later that there actually was an issue with a different vendor the day-of, however, Carolina immediately discussed with my mom and took care of business to solve the problem while ensuring I wasn’t worried about anything on my wedding day. Her team is able to execute difficult tasks at the drop of a hat. I ended up needing a quick bio break right before walking down the aisle, and her team was able to quickly and seamlessly block off a route for me to shuffle to the church bathroom in my huge gown without being seen before the ceremony. On top of all of this - Carolina is such a kind person! Her warm presence and professional demeanor made working with her even more delightful. I highly recommend working with Carolina - you will be in the most knowledgeable and capable hands!!

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!

I’m LINDSAY, the owner & main photographer of Lindsay Mack Photography. I am based out of Warrenton, Virginia. And I am bit of a sucker for real, authentic, passionate love. When I shoot your wedding, I want you to remember each moment, vividly. I want you to relive that first moment when your Dad saw you in your dress. I want you to feel the moment when the love of your life laid his eyes on you as you were approaching the aisle. The moment when the groomsman does a split on the dance floor? Yes, that too. ALL OF IT. I am here to serve you, to work along side you and to capture those once in a life time feels.

Lindsay is a true pro! She helped organize an 8 hour styled shoot for my new farm wedding venue and knocked it out of the park. She has a wonderful way of making everyone feel super comfortable, she seamlessly managed two different sets of brides/grooms, additional models, flower girls, hair/makeup scenes, ceremonies and receptions while capturing every aspect of my 40 acre farm in the process. I can't recommend her enough and she will be at the top of my preferred vendors list as one of the best photographers in the region!

We had a wonderful experience working with Aspen Strings for our wedding! They were super friendly and easy to get in touch with throughout the planning process. We picked some unique songs for our processional that typically have heavy orchestration involved but Bryan was able to arrange them to sound beautiful on just guitar. The bossa nova they played for our cocktail hour was also incredible, everyone loved it! Such great style and energy all around, we couldn’t have asked for better live music on our special day.

Choosing a wedding photographer was one of the most crucial decisions for our big day, and we couldn't have been happier with our choice. From the moment we met Hannah, her genuine passion for photography and capturing special moments was evident. She not not only understood our vision but enhanced it with her (and AMAZING Micah’s) creativity and expertise. On the day of the wedding, they were not just photographers but integral parts of our celebration. Their energy and enthusiasm were infectious, putting everyone at ease and getting genuine smiles and emotions from us and our guests. They seamlessly blended into the background during intimate moments yet took charge (literally Hannah and Micah showed me what to do for a Pinterest inspo pic I sent her) when needed to ensure every important detail was captured beautifully. They let us shine and feel so beyond comfortable and natural, as we are not people that like the camera outside of the wedding! Their talent truly shone through in the final photos. They captured not only the significant moments but also the small, fleeting details that we might have missed in the whirlwind of the day. Looking through the photos brought back all the emotions and memories, making us feel like we were reliving the day itself. I swear I look at them everyday! We cannot recommend our Hillside Film and Photo highly enough. They are not just talented professionals but also genuinely wonderful people who made our wedding day even more special. If you're looking for someone to capture your wedding day with skill, passion, and a contagious enthusiasm, look no further. They are simply amazing! I swear I get more DMs from people asking who our photographer was so that speaks for itself!!

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.
