It is so nice to have you here! I am a Charlottesville Washington DC and Virginia Wedding Photographer who creates artful film-inspired imagery with a combination of timeless editorial and hybrid candid photography that recreates tangible memories of what matters most: you and your authentic love story. With a passion for wanderlust and most importantly my family, I know that life's most cherished moments are fleeting. It's an honor to create emotional love-story centered heirlooms that can be passed down for generations to come.

Working with Bethany from the very beginning was an absolutely incredible experience. Wedding planning can be stressful, but she took out 100% of the stress when it came to photography. Bethany is so energetic, organized, and kind. Words cannot describe how impressed I was by her attention to detail, her decisive and quick thinking as she arranged setups for poses and came up with ideas for shots in a matter of seconds. My entire bridal party was even amazed by her eye for detail and skillful work as she captured portraits and moments from the day. I felt like I was able to sit back and relax, knowing she had everything under control. She was by far my favorite professional I worked with while planning my wedding. I truly cannot recommend Bethany or her work highly enough.

My name is Melissa Kelly! I am a Boston Metrowest based wedding photographer! I live in Grafton, MA with my wonderful husband and my two energetic boys! Photography has been a family hobby for my entire life! My father and I have always shared a special bond over our creative and artistic side and my maternal grandfather even had a dark room IN his home! It's in my blood! I am so excited to be able to share my passion with others!

Both my engagement photos and wedding photos were taken by Melissa! Honestly, she was the best! (And it should be noted, I am picky with pictures haha) While "wedding planning" some people recommended I hire a videographer, but with Melissa's photos I didn't even need one! She captures every moment, even ones you didn't realize were being captured. It's like reliving my day every time I look at these photos. There is a lot of beauty in her editing, lighting, and angles. She gives you pose ideas too for those who are a little camera-awkward. Plus I got sooooo much positive feedback from wedding guest about how much they loved her the night of the wedding due to her amazing, fun personality, but then when they saw the outcome of the photos afterwards, everyone including my husband and I were (even more) impressed. I absolutely recommend Photography By Melissa Kelly. You will get beautiful photos and memories a genuine kind person to hang out with on your special day :) I honestly can't thank her enough, hands down!

Goose Events and company

  • Planner
  • Offers 5 services
  • Starts at $1,200
  • Serves Shady Side, MD for additional fees

I entered the Event planning market seven years ago through catering and setting up for events. I quickly learned that I loved being by the bride and groom throughout the entire event and watching their special day come to life. Getting to know the couple through the entire process and watching their dreams evolve into the wedding of their dreams stole my heart. It’s my pursuit to take all the stress off your plate and help you build the event of a lifetime. I truly want to become your best friend, go to person, planner, and even a punching bag when things just might not be going well that day, throughout the entire process

My daughter and I hired Chloe Deal to be our onsite day-of wedding planner and she was excellent before, during and after the big day! Pre-wedding, we had two zoom meetings to review what the plans were and what she would be doing to oversee it all. Chloe's communication assured us all the details would be completely taken care of on wedding day. The day of the wedding, we had a big surprise. An unexpected storm whipped up just as we were about to begin the outdoor ceremony. Chloe and her assistant quickly rallied to make last minute adjustments moving tables and displays under the reception tent, coordinating with the vendors on the change of plans and remained calm throughout it all. After a bit of insanity as our guests ran from the outdoor ceremony into the tent, Chloe and her assistant went into overdrive drying off chairs and getting them moved into the reception area which was a huge undertaking. The groomsmen were supposed to help but they were the only ones not under umbrellas and were absolutely soaked. Chloe easily helped guests find their seats and kept us all on schedule with the reception events of introductions, dances, happy hour, dinner, cake cutting, send off photos etc. Post wedding, we had to be all cleaned up by 9am the next day so the night of the wedding, Chloe and her assistant moved heavy tree log displays back to the woods, put everything that we needed to save into our cars or the locked space until we could pick it up the next day. Chloe's performance as our wedding planner was truly impressive as she thought of every detail and despite the unexpected weather, my daughter and son-in-law had a truly magical day complete with double rainbows! I would highly recommend her services to any bride and groom to-be!

I am a destination wedding & elopement photographer + planner based in New Mexico. I am originally from the small college town of Lexington, Kentucky, but before long my family moved to Toronto, Canada. Fast forward a handful of years, we moved to Nashville where I finished up elementary school and attended high school. I graduated from UTK in the spring of May 2020 with a BS in marketing and a collateral in entrepreneurship. After graduation I moved down to Florida to be with my partner who is stationed in the area and this past year we got moved to NM! I am an avid traveler & learner!

Audrey is the best. She went above and beyond for my wedding which seemed so natural that she must do it for all. We had 3 phone calls since we lived far away. Ahead of the wedding she put together detailed timelines for myself and all those involved. We made edits together and we explored different package options. I had a large wedding where my Husband and I were getting ready at different locations, a Catholic Church Ceremony and a different location for reception. Audrey managed with ease. She has the calmest demeanor and the best art came from the day. I received “Sneak Peaks” of almost 80 photos within 2 days which was a shock to me. Upon opening them, the photographs were so beautiful we couldn’t even believe these were from our day. I HIGHLY recommend Audrey for your wedding. Big or Small, Formal or Informal. She is the girl. BTW her second shooter, Lauren quite literally saved our wedding ceremony when I forgot the rings. Lauren tracked down the limo driver and delivered the rings discreetly to the alter!

Our experience with Gabby from the beginning was fantastic! I don't think I'd ever recommend anyone else! So when she asked me today if I could leave a review I was shocked I hadn't already!!!! To start with...Communication with her was always informative and detailed. She actually did our wedding back in January and Our wedding was one of the unlucky ones impacted by COVID so when we were scrambling to get our plans together in preparation for postponements and downsizing gabby was the sweetest and the easiest to talk to. She was very understanding with our situation since we're both frontline workers and even went as far as to get tested twice before our small backyard ceremony. The photos are beyond beautiful... we're so happy we chose Gabby for our mini ceremony and our part 2 in 2022!!!

My love of music started in the back seat of my dads car as he took me to daycare, with Marvin Gaye's "What's Goin On" on repeat. My love of music spans generations, cultures and genres, and has taken me all over the world, from England, Spain, St. Marteen, and Austria. My hope is that you allow me to curate a musical experience that will leave your guest talking about your wedding for years to come. As for me, I am a Brooklyn native, who during the pandemic was able leave corporate career to pursue my passion of music. My perspective, is to include and create, safe spaces for guests to feel young, and carefree - even if for a few moments.

If you think you are going to get a run of the mill Dj, who just stands behind the booth, look else where. Gregory IS THE PARTY, not only is he versatile with genres but also play songs from the 70's and 80's to current Pop and Afrobeats, truly his musical vocabulary is quite unmatched. Which is why we wanted him at our wedding. and he did not disappoint. At our wedding he danced bachata with guests, he sang with parents, he hosted a dance completion and, literally was the talk of the day for weeks to come. For us, we opted to get the largest package which included bringing not just 1 but 3 of his Dj colleagues, and 4 Speakers running music in three different spaces within the venue. Cocktail hour was a live Brooklyn Brunch Themed Set, with DJ Thematics Inside was a Jazz playlist for our older guest who wanted to stay and chat And an all party in the evening as he plays along side Dj Mastermind & Dj Blackout. All of which was a separate location from the ceremony space which had its own amplification. I have nothing else to say but 5 Stars across the board

Not only are his wedding videos some of the best I've ever seen, but his helpfulness and generosity every step of the planning process was top notch. Kevin takes the time to truly get to know the couples he works with on a deeper level so that he can tailor his recommendations and content to reflect you as a couple. You aren't going to get any cookie cutter videos here. He was like an extension of our wedding planning group as he guided us through what he's seen make a wedding day and schedule be successful. On the wedding day, you will hardly even notice the camera which allows him to capture you and your guests in a way that's truly authentic. Go check out the videos and let them speak for themself! Trust me, a videographer is a MUST! P.S. - I'll keep his little surprises that he provides to his couples a secret that you can look forward to when you ultimately book him too! :)

I've been in love with the art of photography for as long as I can remember, and I'm truly blessed to be able to pursue my passion every day. Growing up all over the world (Sweden, India, and Denmark to name a few!), my love of photography grew from my desire to capture the places and people I wanted to remember the most. What I love most is the incredible honor of being part of your special day and capturing the deep emotions behind the photograph.

Nithya is a wonderful photographer- very easy to work with and flexible. We just received our pictures and they’re exactly what I asked for! Nithya was such a calming presence during our wedding and extremely professional and helpful. We’re both people who are a bit camera shy which probably made Nithya’s job so much harder - and yet - she made every effort to make us comfortable.

Sam was beyond incredible. Period. He was professional, on time, organized, and captured every moment with vision and creativity. He and his team were exceptional to have as a part of our engagement and wedding day. We were referred to him through a mutual friend and can't wait for another reason to have him capture a video of a significant life event. We loved the time allocation, the drone footage, style and even the many laughs! Thanks again to Sam Boyd for all our cinematic memories! -------- Choosing Sam to do our wedding was hands down the easiest decision we had to make. Since the very beginning, working with Sam was a pleasure. He was incredibly professional while also being fun and enjoyable. He takes pride in his work and it makes sense - he "gets" it. His ability to combine the vibe and energy into our wedding video is something that he clearly has mastered. We could not be more happy with the footage and how he worked his magic to create a video that shares our love story. If you are looking for a videographer - look no further Sam is amazing! Highly recommend!! Thanks again Sam!!

Sensory Delights offers a very creative menu and with very fair pricing. The whole team is highly professional; and they have a very thorough system in place to ensure a quality service. As the day approached, Neima was very helpful. She communicated with my wedding planner and also helped us tremendously the day of. As I was getting ready to walk down the aisles, Neima was helping with my dress as I was getting down the stairs. My husband and I chose the plated dinner and Let me tell you, that exceeded our expectations! Our guests kept calling after the wedding to compliment me as they were impressed with the food and services from the servers. One of the main highlights is how they made sure that my bridal party ate during the cocktails hour after the ceremony while taking our pictures. At the end of the night, they had boxed food for my husband and me for the next day. My wedding planner told me how they went the extra mile to make sure that they delivered. They exceeded our expectations. I cannot wait to work with them in the future. Thank you, Sensory Delights. You have gained a lifetime customer. Rose & Deldy
