I cannot recommend Candice and the team of women at Society 11:11 enough! She did my makeup for my wedding, along with my MOA and my mom, and every single one of us was blown away by her talent. My mom even loved her makeup so much she didn’t want to remove it! Candice truly is the best at what she does, using top-tier products to create flawless looks. Before my wedding shower, I was dealing with stress-related skin irritation and redness, and Candice worked her magic to make my skin look flawless. Her recommendations were spot-on and showed her expertise. I utilized both hair and makeup services and everyone LOVED their look-thank you to the ladies who were apart of the hair team! I am now a client for life! I will continuously book with Candice because her work is unmatched. Thank you, thank you, thank you for making me feel beautiful on such an important day!

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.

D.S. Photography was a wonderful choice for our wedding photography. From the very beginning, David was responsive and professional, quickly answering all our calls and emails. On the day of the wedding, he arrived on time and captured beautiful, creative shots that perfectly caught the joy and energy of our special day. David was fun and easygoing to work with, seamlessly going with the flow as our schedule shifted. For an awkward couple like us when it comes to posing and taking pictures, David made us feel really comfortable and made us laugh throughout the whole shoot. And on top of his great service, he offered the best pricing we found among the photographers we considered. We couldn't be happier with the high-quality photos that now allow us to remember our wedding day. Highly recommend D.S. Photography!

If you’re looking for a Richmond wedding photographer, I cannot recommend Stephanie Jenkins enough!! We hired Stephanie at the recommendation of a friend - and I’m so glad we did!! Putting aside the fact that her photos are STUNNING (which they are), Stephanie had such a relaxing and fun presence that she made taking wedding photos a good time! It’s so clear in both her attitude and her work that she loves what she’s doing, and that makes the whole experience 1000x better. On top of that, her work is simply gorgeous. She has such an eye for angles and poses that really comes through in the photos. Stephanie also sent us a sneak peak gallery the day after the wedding (which is not the norm!), which was so nice and let us relive some of our favorite moments the next day! Stephanie was responsive, professional, and best of all TALENTED. Again, if you’re looking for a Richmond wedding photographer, hire Stephanie!!!

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.

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!

Why you'll love this venue

  • Surrounded by nature
  • Pets can join the celebration
  • Multiple event spaces

Venue considerations

  • No free parking
  • Does not provide event staff
  • No built-in audiovisual options
This is the perfect wedding venue if you want a historic venue and have a small to medium wedding! We had about 50 guests, and felt that it was the perfect amount for the space. The Linden Row team was a dream to work with! Alexa was incredibly responsive to all of our emails. Their partnership with Groovin’ Gourmets truly made our planning so much easier as the staff have great relationships and are used to working together. For all that was included, we felt the price was fair, however keep in mind that in the event of rain, you will also need to work with one of their approved tent vendors since there is not an adequate indoor space for a wedding. This is not their fault, but something we wished we talked through more in the early stages of planning! The room blocks were super easy to set up and we were given a log in to track who had already booked a room. For any guests that are staying in the hotel, it was easy for them to get breakfast on site. All of our guests said they loved their stay at Linden Row. There was another event in downtown Richmond the weekend of our wedding, so parking was a challenge, but again, it is not Linden Row’s fault, just something to keep in mind when booking a room or a wedding.

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.

Venue considerations

  • On-site parking not available

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!!

Awarded Best of Zola
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. So, when COVID kept changing our original wedding plans in Michigan and we decided on a small wedding out in Colorado we knew we had to have Jessica photograph our wedding. Jessica was always so quick to respond to texts/emails with any questions we had! Jessica is more than willing to go above and beyond for her clients. She is fun, professional, and makes the whole experience comfortable and easy. We couldn't have dreamed of a better photographer to work with and capture our Big Day!

  • Planner
  • Offers 6 services
  • Starts at $1,000

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!

You know those people they say are “sunshine in human form”? Meet Jami Heath, Wedding Planning Fairy Godmother Extraordinaire! There are so many reasons I’m glad I chose Jami as my wedding planner! From color-coded vendor timelines, to tablescapes, cake plates, wedding favors, flatlay photos, hand-lettered paper elements, velvet ring boxes, playlists of music, the list goes on! Jami truly leaves no design detail unturned and her thorough questions for your preferences will surprise and delight you. When your most special day finally arrives there is no one better suited to orchestrate your celebration of love. Jami remains completely calm and graceful no matter the circumstance. People may tell you “no wedding is without hiccups” but when I think back to my wedding, I don’t recall those because Jami swiftly handles it! She set tables to perfection, moved seating, fetched Coke Zero (my husband’s strict beverage of choice!), snapped Polaroids for our guest book, primped and prepped me as needed, wiped mascara smudges and veil fluffed, even going as far to stitch rips in my heirloom wedding gown mid-reception! We literally laughed so hard we cried! I never expected a wedding planner to pour so much love, energy, positivity and sheer joy into her “job”. And that’s truly because to Jami it’s not a job — it’s her calling! I couldn’t be more grateful she is written into the memories of my wedding day. Her love and care for me and our families will surely stay with me forever.

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!

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!!

My name is Myles Katherine. I'm a photographer to my core and I am so lucky to have the opportunity to do what I love! Through my job, I have met so many incredible couples, artists, models, families and friends. After living in Portland, Oregon from 2012-2019, I relocated to Richmond, Virginia. However, I'm open to traveling anywhere and everywhere! I cannot make it through the day without coffee, my cat and (obviously) my cameras. I'm looking forward to being a part of your unique love story and capturing it in a beautiful, unconventional way. -Myles Katherine

Myles was our photographer for our wedding at the VA Living Museum and she exceeded our expectations (which were already high after looking through her website)! She really captured the joy of the day in such an artful and unique way. The film pictures were a particular highlight, so beautiful and elevated beyond your typical wedding photos! Myles was able to incorporate the natural landscape of the museum grounds into the photos as well. I usually feel pretty awkward getting my picture taken but Myles and her husband Chris made us and our family feel so comfortable there was no awkwardness at all! It was a privilege to work with Myles!

K&Z FILM

  • 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

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

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!
