Hey there! I'm Hannah, your go-to, candid-photo-loving wedding storyteller.I'm Hannah Hardy, a passionate wedding photographer based in the heart of Virginia. With an eye for the moments that matter most, I'm here to ensure that your special day is not only captured but transformed into a visual narrative that you'll treasure forever. My journey as a wedding photographer began with a deep fascination for emotions, connections, and the unspoken language of love.

There are no words to describe the breathtaking photos that we received back from our October 14, 2023 wedding!! Every single picture is stunning and there isn’t one single picture that we (even a little bit) don’t like. Hannah and her SIL showed up and quickly got to work. That day it was raining from dawn until the start of the ceremony and they showed up with smiles and raincoats to get every shot imaginable. They not only captured the sentiments of us but also captured the party and joy in everyone else there. I can not recommend Quinn Photography enough and will 1000 times out of 10 pick them for all of my photography needs! If you’re still in limbo on finding a photographer rather it be for a wedding, family, couple, birthday, holiday or whatever your heart desires stop what you’re doing and reach out to them.

DJ Karizma did an amazing job MCing our wedding. We really started with nothing to give him, but his experience lead us in the direction of music genres we liked and really gave us inspiration. He also had some fun bride/groom games he suggested we could do, and really knows how to read the guests we had. He was very interactive and responsive with us before and during the event. His energy and enthusiasm for our special day kept the party rolling and always had people wanting to keep dancing throughout the night. The price was very good, compared to other prices we got quoted for. A 10/10 DJ and would suggest to anybody looking for an experienced/interactive/and responsive DJ.

Joseph and Rob of Riverwood Designs are the best in the business. I booked Riverwood Designs for my May 2024 wedding, at The Maine of Williamsburg, for bridal party flowers and floral table arrangements, as well as a Day-Of Coordination package. Booking Joseph and Rob was one of the best decisions I made during my 2-year long wedding planning process. Joseph was a life-savior during the planning process, keeping me calm and confident that my day would be nothing but perfect. And it was exactly that. On the day of my wedding, Joseph and Rob arrived promptly and delivered the most BEAUTIFUL flowers. I am so glad that I chose to go with real flowers, as opposed to wood or silk flowers. The arrangements looked and smelled amazing. The proposal that we had worked on prior to the day of in no way did the actual flowers justice. They were even more amazing than I could have ever imagined. For the florals, we chose to include the orange flowers in only the bridal bouquet. Also including this same orange flower on only the groom’s boutonnière. This was the perfect way for me and my groom to feel special and different from the rest of our bridal party. Book Riverwood Designs NOW! For all your floral and planning/coordinating needs. I am so thankful that I did and I cannot recommend them enough.

My name is Naytza Pato, I'm from Puerto Rico, bilingual and living in Virginia for 12 years. I am passionate about decoration,coordination and planning because I believe they have the power to transform spaces and create meaningful experiences.

Ultimately, what fuels my passion for decoration and planning is the ability to bring beauty and meaning into people's lives. It's the joy on someone's face when they walk into a space I've decorated and feel a sense of wonder or nostalgia.

Naytza & her team did an amazing job at bringing my dream wedding to life! So simple and elegant, everything about the day was perfect.

My husband and I recently got married at Deep Creek Landing Marina and the entire process was wonderful and everything went so smoothly. The staff is super sweet and was always very prompt in responding to my emails and answering my questions (and there were a lot). The venue space was a perfect fit for our wants and needs. The bridal suite was a lovely space for my bridesmaids and I to relax and get ready for the day. The only downside was that the AC was not working in the bridal suite but it was cool enough outside that we kept a door open and were mostly comfortable while getting ready. Everything was absolutely wonderful and my husband and I will definitely recommend Deep Creek Landing Marina to anyone looking for a venue for their event.

Awarded Best of Zola
We recently got married at Gala 417, and the entire experience was fantastic! The venue is absolutely breathtaking, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about how stunning everything was. Working with the Gala 417 team, especially Sarah and Lyndsey, made the planning process enjoyable and stress-free. They were incredibly responsive and attentive, always quick to answer questions and ensure that our wedding day vision came to life in a way that felt uniquely ours. Lyndsey, our day-of coordinator, was amazing! She handled everything flawlessly throughout the morning and early afternoon, and we truly appreciated how well-organized and professional she was. Even though there were a couple of small bumps after her departure, such as the DJ needing a reminder for speeches, and a few of our selected beer options running out earlier than expected, the staff still managed to keep everything running smoothly. To future brides, I would recommend clearly emphasizing any specific beverage preferences during your catering and blueprint meetings if you or your guests have favorites to avoid any disappointments. We were especially excited about the food after trying it at our catering meeting—it was delicious, and we even bragged to our guests about it! However, on the day of the wedding, the food served was bland and inconsistently prepared. We had requested steaks to be cooked medium, but after the fact, many of our guests shared that their filets ranged from rare to well-done, with some even mentioning gristle or fat in the cut—which shouldn’t happen with a filet. This was a bit disappointing, especially considering how much we were looking forward to the meal. Overall, Gala 417 went above and beyond to make our wedding day truly unforgettable. We would absolutely recommend this venue to future couples—between the gorgeous space and the dedication of the staff, our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more. We are so grateful to the entire Gala 417 team for making our day so special!

The venue offers beautiful indoor and outdoor settings, as well as two wedding party dressing suites. A warming kitchen is available to accommodate any approved caterers. Tables, chairs, benches, a dance floor, and arch are included in the venue rentals. The Maine of Williamsburg team sets up the space according to your desired layout and remains onsite throughout all events to assist in creating an exceptional wedding experience for all.

The Maine of Williamsburg was a dream to wedding plan at and the staff were more than accommodating to plan with. After booking The Maine in June 2022, we finally had our picture perfect day this May 2024. The day was beautiful and all of our vendors were amazing. Tracy and her staff at The Maine are very understanding about the inconsistencies with event planning, and we’re more very helpful recommending vendors that were familiar with the space. If I chose to use an outside vendor, the staff easily worked with my preferred vendors to establish the necessary contacts and paperwork. Overall, my planning process was stress free knowing I had a gorgeous venue with a beautiful outdoor ceremony space, including microphones and speakers, and a well maintained interior for an inside reception. There was plenty of space for my guests. The bathrooms were well kept, with plenty available to accommodate my 130 guests. Also, the interior of the facilities are nice and COOL—the AC was much needed after a hot and humid spring wedding. No amount of praise for Tracy and her staff will ever feel like enough. Book The Maine NOW, if you want to have the wedding, or event, of your dreams.

LOOK NO FURTHER, CHRISTINE IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!! I feel so lucky to have found Christine for my wedding makeup because she was everything I was looking for and more! I did a makeup trial with someone else that went terribly and was scrambling to find a new makeup artist less than two months before my wedding. I am truly so grateful I found Christine. Her talent speaks for itself, just check out her Instagram page (https://www.instagram.com/christinecouturecormier/). I had my first video consultation with Christine the day after I found her, and we discussed what went wrong with the first person and what I was hoping to achieve for my wedding day look. Not only was it clear that she knew what I was looking for, but she also had amazing ideas about the entire makeup experience on my wedding day that I hadn’t even thought of. Your makeup artist is SO important because you’ll have these photos forever and they’re the first vendor you interact with so they help set the mood for the day. Christine was an incredible presence the whole time she was there. She and the second makeup artist Lindsey made me and my entire bridal party look and feel amazing! Christine made incredible content with me and my bridal party and she was also there for my first look. She was the perfect calming presence I needed for the most exciting but stressful moment of the day. She helped fluff my dress and took photos and videos I was able to have immediately after the first look. You want to feel confident that your makeup artist is going to make you look and feel amazing, and I promise you can trust Christine with that! My guests were raving about my makeup! I felt done up and more special than my everyday makeup, but I still felt and looked like myself. Also the makeup lasted all night long! She is worth every single penny!! If you pick Christine to be your makeup artist you will not regret it!

I want to thank Alisha at Productionista Events for being an integral part of making my wedding day a beautiful success! Alisha is very professional and goes above and beyond her job description. She was more than my Wedding Day of Coordinator she was my friend, my therapist, and more. As many brides already know, planning a wedding can be very stressful, and you don't know which vendors to trust and have to review so many contracts. Through Alisha, I was introduced to quality vendors she personally worked with, so I knew I would be surrounded by people I could trust on my special day. Alisha even caught a scheduling mistake in my DJ's contract. Alisha is very organized, kept track of all my vendors' payment dates, and kept me on budget. My wedding day was so beautiful and STRESS-FREE, and I have Alisha to thank for that. She even helped me with the bustling of my dress (my dress had 5 layers to bustle, so you could only imagine how difficult that task was). Thank you, Alisha, for your kindness, patience, for listening to me vent on occasion, professionalism, and just being a beautiful person inside and out. I can't thank you enough! If you are getting married, please work with Alisha you won't regret it!

Growing up, my mom would take pictures of us on her Kodak. On Saturdays, we would go to the Wal-Mart, have them developed and organize the images into our albums. Throughout the years, we would look through those albums together and those moments are very core memories for my family and I. This is what I want to share with others. Each emotional interaction on a wedding day is an intricate fiber weaved together to create a wonderful story. And I want to share that gift with others - to relive and feel that warmth all over again.

We're Jim & Dakotah - a Virginia Beach-based husband and wife photographer/videographer duo. We specialize in delivering elevated-edgy imagery to wedding couples that seek something a little more dramatic and polished.

Dakotah and Jim are simply a phenomenal photo/video team. Their work speaks for itself- it's stunning and we couldn't be any more pleased with what we've received. Almost more importantly, though, they were just perfect to work with. Dakotah has a way about her that makes you feel like you've been friends forever. My husband, who is typically more reserved and camera-shy, thanked me for choosing her because he was able to feel so relaxed with her behind the camera. From our engagement session to our wedding day, Dakotah made us feel relaxed and seen in what our vision was. She ensured we got exactly the shots that we wanted- nothing more, nothing less ("nothing more" in the context that we didn't want to feel like our wedding day photos/portraits were bulldozed by any family members! We got above and beyond of the candid shots!) She listened intently to us, honored our wishes, and provided stunning work. The moments that Dakotah captured are breathtaking and will be admired for the rest of our lives. We're so happy to have chosen her to capture the most exciting times in our lives and we will certainly be working with her again in the next chapters of our lives! And Jim- he's awesome. Our wedding day video was everything we could have wanted and more.

I was unfamiliar with venues in this area, and my now husband and I searched from the Outer Banks to Newport News to find something that fit our vision and price point, and Kiln Creek did all of that. For both of us, it was important that the venue gave us that "This is it" feeling! All of the venues we looked at in Suffolk, Norfolk, and VA Beach were just missing something. Then Kiln Creek Golf Club & Resort popped up on my searches and I am sure glad it did! Ruthanne went out of her way to make sure all of my questions were answered and that she saw my vision properly for the big day. That is what was so amazing, that she puts every bride’s vision as a huge priority and she was there to make sure we set up times to meet to go over everything in fine detail. She even added extra special touches because she wanted to, and they were perfect. We stayed at the Lodge, ate at the Nest for dinner one evening prior to the event as well as breakfast the day after the wedding, and the rooms were spacious, beds comfortable and food was delicious! Shout out to Jordan, Christine, Crystal and all of the other amazing servers and staff on location! My husband and I had the most amazing day of our lives! All thanks to Ruthanne and her amazing team, from the chef, to the recommended vendors, who were equally awesome, for seeing my vision and making sure everything came together, perfectly! Thank you, Ruthanne and all of the staff at Kiln Creek!

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 AMAZING. She did our engagement photos and I cannot speak highly enough. She was so cool to work with, had a great eye for location, and was so fantastic with coordinating our forever-awkward selves to get some incredible shots. We both get very anxious on camera but she made the whole experience so safe and welcoming that we ended up having a so much fun. Her communication throughout has been absolute top tier - we knew exactly what to expect every step of the way - and the end result is beyond our wildest dreams. 10/10, cannot recommend her enough and can’t wait to work with her again in the future!

My excited, caring and spunky with a side of ‘hell yeah’ personality makes people feel comfortable, protected and loved. I meet people, hug them within seconds and it’s not awkward. Also, catch me slingin' jokes and dancing while I work or just on a Tuesday. I started my business three years ago, since then I've captured 102 weddings and over 200 couples, I can't image doing anything else! I’m married to Alex, love of my life, cat-doggy daddy, and muse. We fell in love after I called him a loser the moment we met. Since then we've lived in Hawaii, traveled the world and added two fur babies!

When you choose DeLine Photography, you're choosing a partner and friend, not a vendor! My wife and I are professional photographers and videographers, so the selection process wasn't taken lightly for our own wedding. Cat made the short list immediately and then after meeting with her, getting to know how professionally structured her and her team are, it was a no brainer. Oh, not to mention her style of photo taking and editing is natural. Like us. If the grass is green and the sky is blue, that is how they should appear on the final product. I digress... It's not just about the business portion, but also the personal interaction. Our engagement shoot was so freeing. So much so that we all shared a drink together and took time to understand we are actually similar people with similar interests, not just a business transaction. I had the pleasure of meeting Ashley, another member of her team, as the second shooter for our wedding day and I can say without a doubt, that those things we enjoyed so much about the engagement session with Cat are also present with Ashley. I have been the photog or videographer when the groom is getting ready and I learned things from Ashley that I will use to make the next groom I work with feel comfortable and natural. When Cat arrived on our wedding day, rocking a sick blue jumper, ready for comfort and functionality, I was immediately at ease. This is a person that knows what she needs to do to be at her best and recognizing that allowed me to turn my vendor brain off and just enjoy every second of our special day. Lastly, the delivery process of sneak peeks, a surprise video from our final dance and blog post has been top notch and has given my wife and I the ability to relive so many moments together and with friends and family, even before the gallery is sent. Our interactions with those family and friends have warmed our hearts because their words about how amazing their time was at our wedding, gets backed up by those moments captured for a lifetime. If you have made it this far and haven't booked Cat yet, this is me telling you to do it now! She isn't just a vendor, she's a friend! And who doesn't have room for one more friend to celebrate one of the biggest days of their life?

Hey Friend! Photography is my absolute passion and it shines through my images!!! I live for the RAW moments... the true emotion of the day. Tears that fall during a first look, the last hug with your loved ones before you walk down the aisle, and the ear to ear smiles once you've said "I Do!" I blend candid and guided shots, giving you the freedom to move about the day to enjoy it, while never having the thought of “what should I be doing” running through your mind! You'll be able to look back on your wedding photos 40 years from now and FEEL the emotions you felt that day. That's my promise to you!

A former newspaper photographer & editor, I truly love to capture authentic moments as they happen - commonly known as lifestyle photography. My favorite photos are storytelling moments filled with happiness & love. I'm also a sucker for gorgeous light, sunsets, trees, and ALL naturally beautiful outdoor settings. I'm a bit of a romantic and LOVE catching those in between funny moments when no one thinks I'm watching. My Client for Life program evolved when so many couples came back to me for newborn and family sessions - I LOVE building that relationship and becoming "their" photographer for life.

Heather Hughes gave us the most incredible photos and was a lifesaver at our wedding! Her pictures are downright magical, and she stepped in to save the day when our timeline went awry and our venue coordinator dropped the ball. She was such a joy to have around on our special day, and did a fantastic job of keeping everyone on track while also knowing when to let the schedule flex. She was an invaluable part of our wedding and we are so excited to use her for our soon-to-come newborn photos!
