Awarded Best of Zola
Booking Society 11:11 was one of the best wedding vendor decisions I made. Candice and Brittany were absolutely amazing to work with throughout the entire process, from booking, to the bridal look preview, to the wedding day. They're such lovely, fun people to be around, and they immediately made me and the whole wedding party feel at ease. Every one of us explained some version of "I don't wear a lot of makeup so I'm not sure exactly what I want," and every one of us left the makeup chair feeling beautiful. More than one bridesmaid said it was the best their makeup had ever looked, including from other professionals, and I felt the same way. Candice is incredible! For hair, I gave Brittany some inspiration photos, and she created an updo even more beautiful than the inspiration. I loved it at the preview, and then she even fine-tuned it more for the day-of. It was so much fun to see her get excited about her work and create something unique and gorgeous. I got so many compliments. And every member of the wedding party asked for a different look and got a wonderful result. With both hair and makeup, every member of the wedding party looked and felt fantastic all day. My now-husband even asked for a "walk-in" appointment with both hair and makeup because he was worried about wind-blown hair and uneven skin (it was a tear-filled day haha). They were so kind and made sure he was happy with his look too, and all of us survived the ceremony tears and hilltop wind for pictures. I can't recommend Candice and Brittany highly enough. They are such skilled artists and just wonderful people to work with.

They were very quick with responding which is super helpful when you’re emailing a million people at a time during wedding planning and planning and prep with the Inman’s was easy and efficient. Our photos are BEAUTIFUL! They capture the charm of the venue, the joy from all our family and friends, and the love between my husband and I.

Hi, I'm David, a Virginia-based photographer. Unlike many photographers, my introduction to the art of photo taking initially started off purely by accident. I believe everything happens for a reason and I am very thankful to be in the position I am in today.

Awarded Best of Zola
David with D.S. Photography was the perfect photographer for our wedding day. He has great communication skills and is very easy to talk to. His prices are very reasonable for the excellent quality of work he delivers. David helped capture special personal details for my husband and helped relieve any stress I felt about getting the right photos. He has a warm, personable demeanor that made me feel comfortable even during some of the more hectic moments. I couldn't recommend David more highly to future brides - he helped make our wedding day memories truly special with his fantastic photos and thoughtful approach. We loved working with him!

Hey! I’m Rebekah Vijay. I’m passionate about creating story-directed artistic and emotional films to capture the most special day of your life. After all, at the end of the day, it’s memories that we die with. My goal is to capture the honest and true essence of your wedding day by candidly capturing the big moments and everything in between. If there’s one thing I’ve learned about myself, it’s that I’m a storyteller. I love having the great gift of documenting amazing couples as they celebrate their love from engagement, to wedding day, to a life full of love.

Our family has been undoubtedly blessed to have had the opportunity to work with Rebekah! We had just received our final film and no words can accurately describe how beautiful it turned out by capturing our most special and treasured memories from that day. Working with Rebekah has been a blessing from the start - her communication was outstanding and very much appreciated in that from the moment I had sent out an inquiry to when we had gotten our final film, Rebekah had always checked in with us, given us updates, and I never felt any detail was overlooked. Every moment I had expressed I wanted captured during our calls were all included beautifully in the film that I felt perfectly represented our wedding day. More so, we were given our sneak peak trailer so quickly after our wedding day! Moreover, Rebekah has made us feel so comfortable and I had felt so confident with her that I was able to be fully present and not worry about absolutely anything on our big day. If youre considering Rebekah, please please don’t hesitate! It will be nothing short of a blessing to work with her

Linden Row Inn, a historic wedding venue in Richmond, Virginia, is ideal for couples wishing to exchange vows in a setting steeped in history. Furnished with antiques from the middle and late 1800s, the venue is featured on the National Registry of Historic Places. A staple in the wedding industry for the over 30 years, Linden Row Inn is the perfect choice for capturing the importance of your special day!

We had our ceremony in the courtyard on a Sunday afternoon. There was a storm earlier that day and the staff spent an hour or more clearing the debris from the area before our event. They had a rain plan, but thankfully we didn’t have to use it. The courtyard is beautiful and shady. We had our ceremony facing the fountain and were able to decorate it how we wanted. The entire facility is beautiful and great for pictures. Casey was very responsive and helpful throughout the process. Alexa was our day of contact and she was amazing! The space is not very ADA friendly but Casey made sure that there was a ramp and special parking for our guest that needed it. All of our guests said it was a beautiful space. Several stayed in the hotel for the weekend and really enjoyed it. We got a suite which was beautiful and large enough for the bridal party to get ready in. We had hair and make up come to us for 5 people and had plenty of space. Overall, it was great and the staff was amazing.

When looking through your photos in 10, 20, or even 50 years, you want each photo to spark a dozen timeless memories – like the chill of the autumn air, the way your dress swung to and fro, how your grandma couldn’t stop smiling the whole night, the taste of your new spouse’s lips, and countless more. You’re looking for true and honest evidence that brings you back and steadies you in these fleeting moments. You want to freeze your day just how it is and cherish it forever. Hey, I'm Jess! You're in the right place.

"Jessica doesn't just "work" your wedding, she becomes a friend and a wonderful support all throughout the wedding process. She loves what she does and you can tell--she's dedicated to what she does and works with absolute excellence. Jess traveled far for my wedding and took the most gorgeous photos that I can't stop looking at.

I am so grateful for Jessica and would recommend her to anyone!!!"

Cat McCarthy Creative

Richmond, VA
  • Videographer
  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $4,500

Every couple is different and we strive to create something with you that truly reflects that. From first meet to final delivery, you can expect a genuine experience that hopefully feels like working with a friend more than a vendor.

My husband and I booked Cat after seeing 1 Instagram post and having 1 phone call. When you know, you know ;). I knew I wanted videography services and one of her reels caught my eye (the song she used was a string quartet version of one of my husband and I's "songs"). I saw the reel, sent her an email, and was shocked that she was in our budget. It really felt like fate. Cat probably doesn't realize this but booking her set the tone for other vendors we booked and we truly had a dream team. I have her to thank for that! She and Jared were professional, kind, and easygoing. She had a very calming presence about her and she vibed super well with our photographer (who we also loved)! I had zero concern or worry about the quality of the content she would produce- we trusted her completely. Every teaser I saw was exactly what I'd hoped. She caught the most perfect moments and our video is truly a representation of the day. I will cherish it forever, especially as we grow older and the memories inevitably fade. I would book Cat a thousand times over and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a videographer- wedding coverage or otherwise!!

Allie’s the person who comes to mind when people ask, “how was the wedding?” From lighting to song choices to the flower girl’s petals to the bridal suite (and so, so much more), Allie was on top of it all. Her passion for her work coupled with her top-notch ability to navigate the bride and groom, their families, and venue/vendor staff blew my expectations for a day-of coordinator out of the water. She made sure the day ran smoothly and kept everyone on schedule, while working behind the scenes to ensure things (and people!) were where they needed to be and when. Her ability to remove stressful decisions without forgetting the little details let everyone focus on having a great time. We could not have done it without her.

  • Venue
  • Up to 300 guests

  • Starts at $6,500

The Hotel John Marshall opened in 1929 as the largest hotel in Virginia. Its rooms welcomed Elizabeth Taylor, Mary Tyler Moore, and Elvis Presley along with political figures such as Presidents Nixon, Ford, and Carter. After sitting vacant for over 20 years (save a few attempts to open) the building recently underwent an $80 Million renovation, spanning two years of construction to strip it back to the bones and restore it to its original 1920's grandeur.

Absolutely, hands down the best venue. I would have my wedding there again. Maria and her stuff were the easiest of people to work with. Everything from the food and decor, to drinks and table settings; everyone worked to make it the best day ever. Having in house catering is underrated and more people should choose a venue like The John Marshall and Homemade by Suzanne’s. When you have a 2 in 1 great deal like this you don’t have to worry about coordinating things yourself, which is a huge plus when you plan your own wedding!! Both my husband and I are so grateful for everything. It made the day go so smoothly and stress free. The ballrooms being beautiful just make the whole venue come together. 1000% would recommend having your wedding here!!

From the moment we reached out to her to getting our pictures, she has been incredibly communicative, easy to work with, and deeply kind. She made us feel so at ease and taken care of at our Rehearsal Dinner and on our wedding day. 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.

Jessica was AMAZING to work with throughout the entire wedding process! We got the opportunity to work with Jessica for our engagement photos at Glacier National park in 2019 and were completely obsessed with our photos.

Hey there, I’m Jami Pollnow Heath. I’m a wedding planner living and working in Richmond, Virginia. I'm a Maryland native living Richmond Virginia with my husband in our first home; a big beautiful project in Fulton Hill. In my journey down the aisle I found more than just my future partner, I found what I was meant to do; helping people like you say "I do" too!

We hired Jami for Day of Coordination and received her support over several months, beginning with an hour-long meeting 3 months out! Our wedding was the most incredible day of our lives in big thanks due to Jami’s thoughtful attention to detail, hard work, past wedding experience, and pure kindness! I get emotional thinking about the day and our wonderful experience with Jami! She was truly above and beyond! “Our Curated Design” is the perfect name for her business because she’ll work with you to envision the day you want, going with you through all of your mood boards and ideas so she truly “gets it”! She’ll put what you want into words and writing and then the best part – BRING IT TO LIFE! We wanted whimsical, modern, Wes Anderson vibes, and we more than got them! It was amazing! Going into planning a wedding, I had no idea what a Herculean effort it is to execute one. Even for 80 people, it really is 1,000 details. Jami will make sure to think of every single one. She’ll answer every question you ask and remember the answer when you’ve forgotten it on the big day. She’ll be your biggest cheerleader before, during, and after your wedding. It’s also the little things that Jami thinks of! She had the creative idea to take instax film images throughout our wedding that we’ll now get to cherish forever! We already are! It means so much to us to know that Jami and Will, her husband, had our back throughout our day. We honestly can’t believe how well the day went, but it wasn’t luck or just our planning, it was mostly due to Our Curated Design magic! At the end of the night when we were exhausted (we’d left it all on the dance floor) and we couldn’t help to pack up our decor and things like we wanted to, Jami and Will took care of it with smiles! They were such a calming presence to share the end of our night with. Not to mention, everything got back to our home expertly packed! I would recommend Our Curated Design over and over!

Todd did an amazing job at our wedding! We were looking for an acoustic guitarist for the ceremony and cocktail hour and his sound was perfect. He is incredibly easy going and I felt perfectly safe leaving the cocktail hour set list in his hands. He understood the vibe we were going for and just ran with it. He even was willing to learn the song I wanted played as I walked down the aisle. All of our guests had nothing but good things to say either! He definitely helped make our special day perfect!

M2M Weddings

Richmond, VA
  • DJ

Our wedding DJ's are trained to entertain! We take pride in having the knowledge, the fun & the skills to have your guests dancing the night away! Beyond being a DJ our team will assist in anyway we can, from song selections to timeline planning. Enjoy your reception and let us play the perfect melodies for you and your loved ones!

I used M2M for DJ and photobooth services, and they did an amazing job! DJ Jerz and DJ Coria had great communication with me through out the planning process in order to deliver my vision. DJ Jerz kept the dancefloor packed, read the energy in the reception perfectly, and even made reminder announcements for my guests to check out my audio guestbook. During the ceremony, DJ Jerz timed the processional perfectly and provided audio/mics for our readers and our officiant (it was outdoors but you could still hear everyone clearly!!). Jeremiah, our photobooth attendant, was so fun and sweet! He even helped accommodate some larger groups that wanted to get in the photobooth together. There was a small issue in getting the printer set up for the photobooth, but I strongly believe that was our fault since it was outside and wiring everything up was a nightmare, but Jeremiah wasn't phased and still delivered excellent service. I highly recommend M2M for your special day!!

K&Z FILM 

5.0

  • Videographer
  • Cinematic style
  • Starts at $3,700
  • Serves Richmond, VA

Karlo & Zadie are a husband and wife videography team and we have a ginormous heart for our couples. We value the personal relationship we develop with our couples and we are always honored to be chosen to capture their wedding. We aren't just videographers but we consider ourselves storytellers. Our aim is to always produce a beautiful wedding film that stands the test of time. Our couples are either shedding tears when they watch our films or smiling the whole way through. This is our goal and this is our promise!

Karlo and his team are absolutely phenomenal. I didn’t think wedding videography was a priority in our planning process until I came across his work. From our initial meeting, I knew K&Z Film was the real deal. After stumbling across his work, I knew we had to include them in our big day. Our venue had specific requirements surrounding vendors and their insurance. Karlo worked with us and our venue for weeks to ensure he met their requirements, which we truly cannot thank him enough for. There was a form Karlo had us fill out leading up to our wedding which asked how we wanted to feel during our wedding and what we hoped the video would encapsulate. Karlo not only delivered on every single point I had listed in that form and our meetings, but he went beyond that. Our sneak peek was given to us only days following our wedding…and let me tell you, it’s EPIC. Every person I’ve shared it with says it feels like the trailer to a box office film; that couldn’t be more true. I am at a loss for words at the quality of work, the craftsmanship, the artistry, editing and angles that are all prevalent in our video. When it came to the day of the wedding, Karlo and his team arrived early and started working from the jump. They worked tirelessly throughout the day to capture everything I had asked for. His guidance and suggestions were fun and I barely felt like I had a camera on me; just some really cool people following us around and hyping us up. K&Z is top notch; a professional service that goes above and beyond for you. His work speaks for itself. I truly cannot recommend Karlo and K&Z Film MORE. Best decision and I will cherish our wedding video for the rest of my life. He makes us want to get married again and again and again just so we can get more masterpieces from him.

Katie Nesbitt Photography 

5.0

Richmond, VA
  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $5,000

I'm Katie and I've been a wedding photographer for over ten years now. In that time I've been lucky to photograph nearly 200 weddings all over the East coast and the world! I love to approach each wedding day as though I were telling the story to someone who wasn't there...which to me means capturing a mixture of the little details you worked so hard to choose as well as those little in between moments that happen as the day unfolds. When I'm not photographing weddings, you can find me shopping at Trader Joe's, planning my next trip, or cuddling with my cat, Lucy!

I had the pleasure of working with Katie Nesbitt over the course of several years and have watched her talents evolve in the process. Katie's eye for detail is astounding, and beyond her technical expertise, she is a joy to work with. She deftly navigates complex family dynamics, moves swiftly through portrait sessions, and knows when to blend into the background and when to assert herself to get the best pictures. She has a way of elevating our charming, little farm venue through her lens and makes it look sophisticated and refined! I was always impressed by the mix of candids, posed shots, and details she captured throughout the day. Beyond that, she is punctual, communicative, dependable, and complimented every single vendor team she has been paired with for our couples! In fact, I hired Katie as my own wedding photographer for my 2020 (now 2022) wedding because I was so impressed with her professionalism behind the scenes as well as her work. I've loved working with Katie in this capacity, especially during these complicated times, because every communication reminded me that she cared, listened, was flexible as we were forced to change our plans. The next steps were clearly outlined, so we were never left wondering what was going on. It made us feel that we were being guided by a true professional through a process she was a master at! I would never hesitate to recommend her to anyone who wants a true professional to create a customized photography experience.

Renee Doorly 

5.0

Richmond, VA
  • Beauty professional
  • Starts at $400

I am a freelance hair and makeup artist offering on-site bridal hairstyling and makeup. My artistic approach stems from my time studying painting at VCU Arts. I’ve learned so much in my 6 years doing bridal styling and have loved every minute. From in-person and online workshops to learn from other artists in my community, I am always picking up new techniques and finding new inspiration. My style is natural but elevated. I love texture and romance.

I am so glad I used Renee as my hair and make-up artist for our wedding day. From the initial consultation to the final touch-up, the entire experience was nothing short of perfection. I asked her to change some things from the hair and make-up trail on our wedding day and she nailed it. I felt absolutely stunning but also still felt like I looked like myself. My hair and makeup were flawless and lasted throughout the entire celebration, despite the humidity and dancing. Renee is warm, kind and so calm – the exact person you want to spend a huge chunk of time with on your wedding day. Renee also did the mother of the bride, mother of the groom and maid of honor’s hair. They all loved their hair and felt so pretty. I highly recommend Renee to any bride looking for a stress-free, high-quality experience that ensures you look your absolute best on your special day!
