I consider my style to lean towards documentary/photojournalism, capturing moments as they naturally unfold while stepping in to set the scene for the ones that matter most. I’m your visual storyteller, here to weave the narrative of your love into every frame. Think of me as your co-pilot for navigating the whirlwind of your wedding day. From creating a seamless timeline to embracing the unexpected, I’ll be there to help things run smoothly & capture every smile, tear, & epic dance move along the way. All you have to do is soak in the magic of your special day, & I’ll make sure it’s beautifully documented forever.

Hiring Aireal was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding! From the very first consultation, she made my wife and I feel so confident and excited about our big day. She took the time to get to know us as a couple, and it really showed in the photos—each one perfectly captured the essence of our relationship. On the wedding day, Aireal was such a calming presence. She was organized, professional, and had a way of making everyone feel at ease, even in the midst of all the chaos. She caught every detail and emotion without us ever feeling like we were constantly posing for pictures. Our photos are beyond beautiful. She captured so many moments we’ll treasure forever, and the quality is exceptional. We even ordered prints through her gallery and they came out flawless. It’s obvious that Aireal is passionate about her work, and she truly goes above and beyond for her clients. If you’re searching for an LGBTQIA friendly wedding photographer who will capture your day with authenticity, creativity, and a personal touch, look no further. Aireal is amazing, and we couldn’t be happier with our wedding photography experience!

Diana Gramlich Photography

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,900
  • Serves Rachel, WV

Hello! My name is Diana, and I am a natural light photographer based in the Pittsburgh tri-state area who aims to capture love, joy, laughter, and everything in between. I’d love to take you out for coffee and chat about how I can serve you, hear your story, and get to know you! Chasing light and documenting life’s sweetest moments brings joy to my soul. I have a passion for capturing unfiltered emotions and real moments that you never want to forget. Whether it's your wedding day or a family session, I am always looking for ways to document the love you share. Your story is unique and beautiful, and I would be honored to be a part of it!

Diana is a fabulous wedding photographer and highly recommended by us!! She definitely knows her stuff - where and how to shoot to achieve a soft and romantic vibe to her pics. Our engagement photos were under cloud cover, while our wedding was on a super sunny day and both sets came out with very flattering lighting. Her editing style makes the pics feel effortless and natural. Communication through Honeybook was also timely and thorough. Working with Diana was very easy and she provided several materials along the way to help us out: an engagement session style guide with clothing and prop suggestions, and again leading up to the wedding with everything you could think of for how to make your photos perfect. She helped us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, suggesting poses and taking pics until she got the shot. We did a rose petal toss and got a shot of my new husband and I kissing as our party tossed the petals around us. She called us over right after to show us that she absolutely nailed it and that little look had me so excited to take the rest of our portraits! We got our sneak peek photos the Tuesday after our wedding and had a few dozen pics to announce our wedding with. They were gorgeous: light, airy, crisp, magical, breathtaking. They made our regular wedding look like a high-end affair - we received so many compliments on her work. We got the full gallery shortly after returning from our honeymoon and it was like Christmas morning!! We spent hours snuggled in bed going through and admiring each one, reliving our day through Diana’s perspective. We are IN LOVE with her pics, can’t thank her enough, and would absolutely hire her again!

In 2013, 8-year wedding veteran Amy McCord Jones realizes she wouldn't be able to afford to hire her own floral services if she was a bride. Then, Amy discovers that there is basically zero help available for DIY brides. No flower recipes. No instructions. No access to florist-grade blooms. Rude. So she launches Flower Moxie! Flower Moxie remains a humble, tucked-away small business out of Oklahoma City. We don’t zoom around on scooters in some fancy high-rise. We stock an average kitchen with canned wine and Aldi chips and listen to true crime podcasts while photographing curvy ranunculus. Join us. There’s cake, hugs, and acceptance here.

Exceptional service. Flowers don't always travel well. The flowers I ordered for my daughter's wedding bouquet and the grooms boutonniere. They arrived in less than ideal condition I contacted customer service and Alexa was incredibly helpful. She not only sent new flowers overnight but was truly concerned that they now arrived in great condition. The new flowers were gorgeous and perfect. I will be buying all my flowers from Flower Moxie.

I am an avid reader. It was important to me for my wedding day (the experience, the photos, and the video) to feel like it was a fantasy novel brought to life. And that is exactly what this video portrays. I could not be happier. My wedding video was beautiful and I feel like they really captured the feelings and emotion of the day. My video was very different from others in the best way possible. The cinematography was incredible. Everyone who has viewed our wedding video tells me it looks like a movie. This video is something I will cherish for the rest of my days. I cannot stop watching it. The magical feeling that is displayed throughout our film is everything I dreamed for. If you are specific in what you want your film to look like, Fine Arts Weddings will nail it for you. They fit so much in to such timely films. I married my high school sweetheart of 11 years. The love we have was shown beautifully in such a romantic and fantastical way. You will not regret booking with them!!

I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I were from out of town and hired Sean to photograph us at a Christmas gala at the place we got married. He was accommodating to last minute changes to make the most of the session and even went above and beyond to make it happen. Upon first impression, he was upbeat and had a vision. We were outside in sub 30 degree weather with fading evening light as well as low light inside a building and he was up for the challenge. We ended up with beautiful images in less than ideal conditions and that is what makes a great photographer. Sean has a sense of humor and an eye for that perfect photograph. He was fun to work with and his heart for people and creativity shows through. Thank you Sean for capturing this time in our lives.

Jen was AMAZING to work with! When it came to flowers for my wedding, I had NO IDEA what I wanted. She was very patient with me and helped talk me through my vision. She gave me flowers to pick from, talked about how big I wanted my bouquet and how much greenery I wanted, and then when I could find colors I liked in swatches, she color-matched the colors I wanted from an inspo pic I found online! She was very professional and patient with me, even when my plans changed or I needed to add to my order.  I am not the best at putting together a bouquet. I am also someone who likes control, especially when it came to planning my wedding. I was thankful that I was able to give Jen the reins, tell her what I wanted, and watch her make my dreams come true. When I first saw my flowers, I was speechless. She truly did make my floral dreams come true, and now I get to keep my bouquet for the rest of my life! A wooden flower bouquet from Jen is the way to go!

My hope is for you to feel the way your loved one hugged you as they gave you away, to laugh as you look back at the best man giving his speech...every captured moment has a feeling. I will do my best to stop those moments in time for you to experience forever. I am witty, goofy, sarcastic, open-minded, & honest. I will be your ultimate third wheel.

If I could go up to everyone to suggest Emily til my lungs gave out, I would. We used her for our engagement photos and wedding photos, and I want to use her for all my life events. Her photos are obviously what drew me in at first, but once I met her, it was her personality. She is so bright, she makes you feel like you're her new best friend. She is fun, energetic, and efficient (which we love, since my husband hates photos). Emily not only acted as my photographer the day of my wedding, but was also my hype woman, and support person. She made me feel calm in the chaos. She made me feel beautiful. I think when you are a beautiful person inside and out like her, it's an easy thing to do. You know you have a gem when everyone is coming up to you to tell you how "your photographer is so awesome". She captured some of the most beautiful, vulnerable, moments during that day and turned them into a story and I love that she could be apart of such a special day.

We cannot say enough good things about Heather and her team. I discovered Heather in a bride group and knew that I just had to have her as my photographer. I expected beautiful photos, but we got so much more. Heather and her team made our wedding era so wonderful. She treats you like a best friend she’s known her whole life. Not to mention her team’s passion for travel. Heather and Andrew traveled 6 hours each way for our engagement photo shoot, then again for our wedding. Their attention to detail and passion for real-life photos really makes the perfect wedding album. They captured every important moment. We are so thankful. We could not recommend the team enough!

A Tid Bit Bridal

  • Planner

  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Rachel, WV

When I became a bride in 2020, I quickly realized how much I loved the planning process. But online, I could only find information tailored to the really stressed out bride. Now, I am here to help newly engaged couples navigate all the new trends and decide what’s most important to them, while proving the planning process doesn’t have to be overwhelming.

Awarded Best of Zola
Megan was a perfect wedding coordinator. We originally hired her as a day of planner but had a few hiccups in our planning and brought her on as a full service wedding planner. We had a fairly stressful venue situation that forced us to switch almost all of our vendors about 3 months before our wedding day. She was up for the challenge and basically planned our entire wedding in about a week. She not only leveraged existing relationships to get us strong deals with reputable vendors, but she also found us new vendors she had never worked with and negotiated on our behalf for our perfect wedding. Megan was our calm in the whirlwind that was our wedding day. She was level headed when we forgot our guest book and through every other little thing that was even slightly off on the wedding day. The hectic journey of our wedding went off without a hitch and we both had the best day of our lives. Honestly, I don't think our wedding would have happened without Megan and we cannot recommend her highly enough to make your wedding more than a tid bit better.

Wedding planning and event management, based in Frederick Maryland (locations also include DMV and NY).

From selecting the ideal venue to managing every detail, we take care of everything so you can savor every moment. Your perfect day is just a click away! Have a browse through our site to see how we can turn your wedding dreams into reality.

Out of all of the many many decisions we made for our day, booking with Protea Event Planners was the best decision we made hands down. Caroline was a pleasure to work with and totally calmed any of our stress and anxiety during the days leading up - I can honestly say it’s because of her that we had a completely stress-free wedding day! Not only was it her lovely presence that made the day go perfectly, it was also her skill, natural talent, and years of experience in the industry. She put out all of the small fires, kept everything and everyone involved on time and running smoothly (with a huge bridal party, off-site church ceremony, and two wedding dress looks), and made every detail, no matter how small, of our vision come to life! She made herself extremely available and accessible for our many questions and concerns and never made us feel crazy :) Caroline absolutely went above and beyond for us and we cannot emphasize enough how crucial of a part she was in our day being so amazing. She is already booked for another wedding in the family because of how much we all loved working with her. If you’re thinking of working with Protea Event Planners, book it - you will not regret it!

Love Knot Photography

  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Rachel, WV

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

Maya Lovro Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,200
  • Serves Rachel, WV

My name is Maya (they/them), and I'm a queer, love-obsessed photographer operating out of Pennsylvania and traveling all over. I specialize in weddings and elopements, especially non-traditional, LGBTQ+, and multicultural celebrations. I am the 'picnic elopement in the woods' or 'weekend campsite celebration' or 'screw it, let's get married at a Waffle House' photographer.

Awarded Best of Zola
Maya is one of the most wonderful, genuine, and detailed photographers I've ever met, and I've worked with a lot of photographers in my line of work! My partner and I chose Maya first for our engagement photos because of their dynamic, warm style, and ended up enjoying working with them so much that we decided to book them for our wedding! My partner is quite shy and doesn't enjoy his photo being taken, but Maya made him feel so comfortable and confident. We are an LGBTQ couple, and Maya made us feel so valid and loved expressing who we are. Maya was so communicative throughout the whole wedding planning process, and constantly provided us with resources to help us with our general planning. Maya and their co-photographer took so much care and detail on the day of the wedding to get every small detail to every huge moment. Everything worked like literal clockwork, everything felt super chill and fun, and even shooting large family photos (with way too many cousins) ended up being a breeze! Maya truly cares about their work, especially their clients. We could not recommend Maya enough!!!
